LINKS for DVDs (costume links are on the Classwear & Costuming page)
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
