If you're craving washboard abs and some fun time with your girl, grab a couple of shiny veils and Amira Mor's newest DVD, Belly Dance for Mother & Daughter (International Entertainment, $18, available at www.borders.com). Mor, who's been teaching the Middle Eastern moves for 20 years, says that belly dancing is "a way to focus on your inner feeling." The DVD breaks down the how-to's into manageable segments: arm gestures, full-body movements and step-by-step choreography. For an intro to the art, join Mor and her daughter on May 7 for a workshop at the Brooklyn Children's Museum. Splashy sarongs are optional.—Stefanie Jackowitz
