Rating: 4.0
Good video
I bought this video because I've become interested in Bellydancing as an artform and workout regimen. The video is great for demonstrating technical Bellydance moves. The costumes are GORGEOUS and INSPIRING, and there is a very interesting segment on the HISTORY of the dance as an introduction. The video is a bit DATED, but no matter since it is an ancient art form. There are sections teaching some use of the veil and finger symbols also which is neat. the downfall to this video is that it does NOT pull things together to create any type of routine. It just shows a new move, and so-on. I'd like to be able to take the moves I've learned and put them together nicely. This video does NOT show you ways to do that. It is a very GOOD inroductory tape though. You DO feel like you are receiving a beginners lesson to the dance and its origin.
