|Wonderful,
If you have ever wanted to try Belly Dance, this is a perfect selection. I had been considering to do it for awhile and after some looking, settled on this one two months ago or so. Since then I have been learning and having fun.
She is really good at showing you how to do things with examples that are easy to understand. The presentation works well as she shows things from all sides when describing what to do, such as how much movement is needed. Very warm personality that is realy enjoying showing me how to Belly Dance.

|Nice Belly Dance DVD,
This DVD has a couple of short sections to start – general introductions and cautions plus an interview with Leila, which provides a good overview of what to expect and things to keep in mind.
Then there are three main sections – Basic Movements, Intergrated Movements and Dances To Follow.
Basic movements has sections which cover Posture, Arms, Hip Circles, Hip Pushes, Basic Shimmies and Basic Camels. Leile builds on each movement in each section and then at the end puts the moves together. Leila will show the moves from different angles so you can see what she is doing, and does not say “left” or “right” and shows “one side” then “the other” so it makes it easy to follow. The movements are Moving with Shimmies, Egyptian Walk and Moving with Hip Circles. Then there are three more dances to follow and improvise to. There is no instruction on the last three dances – Leila explains this is how dance is often taught when you learn more. There is also a perfomance by Leila to watch which is beautiful.
I have started to feel like I am able to do some of the Basics fairly well and gaining coordination.
