bellydancing dvds? help for a beginner?
im interested in learning how to belly dance. i want a workout that is fun, and bellydancing has always looked cool, so i figured why not?
the only issue i have is that the nearest classes available to me are like, an hours drive away so i have no way of getting to them with my work schedule as it is.
so i want to know if there are any good dvds for learning how to belly dance? i am a beginner, but i do have SOME dancing talent. i live in the US, so nothing that is too hard to find or wont play in a US dvd player please!!
I would recommend "Sadie’s Complete Bellydancing Guide" as a good start for beginners and her "Thrillin’ Drillin’" DVD. The reason I recommend her DVDs is because she focuses a great deal on technique, and is very good at breaking down each movement and then showing you how to combine them. She is also one of the best dancers I have ever seen. Here is a link to her DVD store on her website:

Also, here are a couple of links to her dancing:

Amira’s Bellydancing 101 gets consistently good reviews for beginners.

If you can’t get to any classes, try and get to the occasional workshop, or go to a class once every now and then. Seeing the moves in real life is always much better than DVDs. Tiny details like arm position are really difficult to see on DVDs, and it’s the tiny details that make all the difference.
