DVDs for Beginners - click on links; these are all at Amazon & have reviews. You can ask my opinion on any the dvds there; I have viewed quite a few.
Here are some that I recommend for beginners:

Amira Bellydance 101 - learn all the basics, classic - this is a great one to start with

Bellydance Jam with Bellyqueen - modern style & peppy, comes w music CD also!

The one-and-only Princess Farhanna! She is wonderful - this is a no frills dvd tho - but well worth a bit of low quality audio in my opinion for her skills & personality!

Beautiful Leila, American born, has lived and performed in Cairo 10 + yrs / I took a workshop with her in VT!/ great style

Rachel Brice - one of the leading innovators of American Tribal Fusion - dramatic & other worldly! With yoga also
