Thread: Music for Cardio Class

Does anyone have any ideas for constant, repetitive music for a belly dance cardio class??

I mostly use ME pop music for my Raqsercise class. I have an assortment of the "Now That's What I Call Arabia" and "Now Dance Arabia" CDs that I get most of my playlist from.

I also use a lot of ME pop, especially Nancy Ajram

Elevation and ElectroBelly

I recently made this list - Kiyaana's Bellydance Fitness Classes. Other class lists on the site have suggestions for cardio and drills.

I like pop, but find the lyrics can be distracting and the students have a harder time hearing me over pop compared to instrumental.

Last Friday I ordered Jillina's CD that goes with her "Shape Up and Hip Out" DVD and I used one of the long tracks tonight. I really liked it because it fits the typical fitness pattern - steady, prominent beat with subtle music that changes slightly every 32 counts. (I ordered it from Hollywood Music Center and received it Monday!)

Saidi music. Goes well with Saidi hopping steps, which are quite aerobic.

Thanks girls!

And thank you kiyanna! I was looking for that CD and didn't think to go to HMC - they're awesome, the minute they receive your order they ship it out right away.
