excellent instructions for the absolute beginner... February 29, 2008

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 sensiblities January 23, 2008

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.

A perfect introduction May 30, 2008

This DVD really is a wonderful way to learn the skills and abilities required for the beautiful art of bellydance. Amira is so vibrant and full of passion for the dance that it really motivates you and makes you eager to learn and build up your talent. The setup is simple and easy to follow. The movements are broken down step-by-step so you can see exactly how they work and this style of instruction is great for helping you to understand and reproduce the moves. The sections covered flow in an intuitive way and you'll be able to make progress even from the first try. The feel of this DVD is very inspiring and is very much about having fun and being happy & healthy. This DVD will have you bursting with positive energy and once you get your confidence up after a little practice you will never look back.

Bellydancing DVD August 3, 2010

If you are just starting out in bellydancing this DVD is ideal. It gives you all the basics to get you shimmying your booty. And it's hard work too but great fun!!

The best CD to teach beginners how to belly dance November 24, 2008
S. Saleh
This is the best CD I've ever used to learn belly dancing... the position of the camera is excellent, allows you to see exactly how the move is performed from top to bottom.... Amira precisely shows a step by step instruction on how to move your body for each move (that is left to right, back and front) and does not assume at all that your body maybe used to any of the moves... she repeats the moves few times for you to see and practice, and changes her speed incrementally for each move... one that is completely break down of the move, and one with the move done fully, and one in a dance position...
Unlike most of the terrible CDs, you don't feel rushed to follow Amira's moves, and she doesn't jump to the next move until she covered the first move and gave you enough time to practice...

The CD is split into several sections and you can choose to navigate and play whichever one you like (or wish to practice)... so you don't need to forward the whole CD until you find the section that performs hip circles for example...

She starts with about 5mins worm-up and ends with about 7mins workout that combines many of the moves she taught in the CD...

The voice is recorded separately from the performance, which leaves her attention on the moves, unlike many other CDs where the performer is worried about getting everything right at once!

I would advice you to look in YouTube to see a small version of this CD so that you know exactly what to expect...
