Product Description:

Assertive and futuristic in its spirit, the workout is propelled by the driving rhythms of Gothic/Industrial music featuring :wumpscut:, Decoded Feedback, Terrorfakt, Maduro, The Last Dance, and Collide.

Workout 1 (45 min.) opens with a cardio section and proceeds through a series of dynamic stretches and isolations toward Transfusion Dance steps that get progressively bigger and faster.

Workout 2 (25 min.) jumps straight into hard-hitting moves of the pure Shakra transfusion style, building to a faster tempo through sequences of steps.

Following the workouts, the program offers an instructional section where Na la, Bronwen, and Hilary of Shakra teach 2 Transfusion dance combinations and practice them at accelerating tempos.

Shakra dancers use the system of gears to cue switching between tempos in the workouts and combinations. 1st Gear is normal speed, on the beat of the music; 2nd gear is double time; 3rd gear is twice as fast as 2nd; and Overdrive doubles the 3rd gear. The gear system effectively manages the accelerating tempos of the dance, giving the program a great flow.

In addition the Industrial Strength Dance Workout offers Safety Tips and a special Technique section breaking down Transfusion Dance techniques and isolations in depth.

- Best, most fun workout of any kind
I was very impressed with this workout video. It is very complete in that it focuses on so many parts of the body, including breathing. Every move is broken down into digestible parts and done from slower to faster speeds or "gears." It's nice that each member had a chance to lead movements. The Goth/Industrial music is very fun and not overpowering. These ladies know their stuff and it shows. I have studied various forms of bellydance for 9 years and would recommend this workout to pros and ... Read More

- I shoulda known better
I watched the video clip. Listened to the music and I still bought the dvd. I shoulda known better because I hate the music and while the dance moves are powerful, I can't dance to music I don't like. So make sure that you like industrial gothic music before you buy this dvd! I think I will give this one away.

- It just won't stop!
I really loved the way these girls personalities came out in the intro, but this was otherwise disappointing. The pace of this workout was way off. For every 3 minutes of movement there seemed to be a whole minute where you stop everything and talk. It seems this workout was clumsily put together and so was the menu system. The workout feels like it goes on forever but the next day, the only place I feel it is in my hamstrings.
The long and short of it is, I'd much rather have bought a video ... Read More

- Interesting
I wasn't sure what to expect from this workout. I really enjoy Shakra's performances, but that doesn't always make for a good workout dvd. Other than the strange choice of working out in boots, it was a fun workout and really got the heart rate up. Just don't expect a lot of traditional cabaret or tribal style bellydance instruction. These ladies assume a basic knowledge of MED and fuse a lot of different styles with it. Also helps if you like industrial music.

- a breed apart
Different but cool!
Shakra is three outstanding dancers interpreting their vision of industrial dance, performed beautifully in sync, and with high energy. This is a powerful work out that you will feel especially in the upper torso and arms. These gals don't fool around.
I begin this program with skepticism, but halfway into it, I found an enjoyable,high energy dance that I could easily join into. The dark garb and stomp boots is not typical for me so, I joined in barefoot just to try it ... Read More
