Some of World Dance New York's fitness programs allow you to explore special genres of belly dance or particular areas of movement skill.

The Belly Dance Rhythms Workout, with Neon (DVD) 

Silk - The Belly Dance Veil Workout, with Tanna Valentine (DVD) 

The Belly Dance Shimmy Workout, with Sarah Skinner (DVD) 

The drum solo is an indispensable part of a belly dance show, and one of the most dynamic and physically challenging types of belly dance movement, giving you a chance to play with dance rhythms and accents.  Neon's "Belly Dance Rhythms" DVD offers two workouts/drum solo practice sessions - beginner & intermediate, and two tutorials.  You will work with live drumming, and 5 bellydance rhythms: ciftetelli, baladi, saidi, maksoum, and masmoudi.  Each workout flow features a wide variety of classic drum solo moves assembled into 20 beginner and 20 intermediate combinations.  Each combination is repeated as a drill: 

Beginner - slowly 12 times and at a real dance tempo 8 times; Intermediate - slowly 8 times. Real dance tempo 12 times.

Veil dancing is another must-have of the classic bellydance show: It requires graceful and purposeful arm movements, an elongated, lifted body line, and superb skills in manipulating a lovely cloud of tricky silk fabric.
