Bellydancing???

I bought a Bellydancing fitness DVD on a whim. I was just wondering if anyone has tried bellydancing as a way to lose weight? Were you successful?

i didn't do it as an exercise, but i was in Turkey some time ago and met some girls who showed me a bit of bellydancing and this is how they keep in shape. and i would recommend it to everyone because it uses all muscels in your body and its fun. especially if you have the outfit

i've had the kathy smith belly dance workout for a while and used it a bit in the beginning -- but i've moved since and dont have much room in my bedroom- i need to dust if off again and use it.

I actually liked it because it gave a good abs workout - I was very athletic in high school and college - and even then i couldn't do a crunch - -i still can't -- so this gives me a standing ab workout.. and it's cool because shoes are optional

Thanks for the replies.

I like the DVD, and it's great for the core muscles... plus I really don't like doing crunches on the floor either...so it's a win-win for me.
