great teaching for complete beginners4
It was tricky knowing what to get to teach me as a complete beginner the basics of bellydance, but I'm very glad I got this DVD. It's visually clear, with camera shots showing position of the body, and what different parts of the body are supposed to do and when. Working through different areas of your body also helps you focus more on what you're doing and eventually to put the various moves together in a short dance sequence at the end. In addition to clear images and instruction, the music is varied and the moves are broken down into basic steps then gradually sped up, so you can "choose" your level of dancing.

The positive outlook of the teacher is inspiring and will probably make you want to practise regularly and find some music to try out different combinations of the moves you're learning.

excellent instructions for the absolute beginner...5
Just a week ago my daughter started to work out with this dvd. Having practiced every day her movements look pretty elegant now, as the instructions are very easy to follow.
She would certainly appreciate a follow-up for the advanced learner.

Good beginner's DVD for New Age sensiblities5
I am very pleased with this DVD. I am a beginner in Bellydance and am having lessons. I bought this DVD to help practice at home and learn the basics. The instruction is excellent and clear. Amira is dressed appropriately and makes her movements clear helped by on screen animations. She also has good safety tips and makes a Mind Body Spirit connection to what you are doing. This is good for the Beginner who has maybe has done some chi kung/ yoga or similar and has already gained an awareness of their energy body, although this is not necessary in order to follow the DVD.
For intermediates, go elsewhere.
On a negative note, the listing says this is a PAL DVD when my copy is actually NTSC. This means it will not play on certain TV screens. Just check before you buy.
