Product Description

From Amazon.com

Bellydance! Magical Motion is a well-balanced introduction to this ancient and alluring art form. What makes this video different is that it adds a new dimension by emphasizing the exercise potential of the dance every bit as much as the artistry. And they're right: the motions taught here are definitely an excellent way to keep the body in shape. This is not, however, simply a workout tape; it is an instructional dance video that provides a solid foundation in all of the basic motions and steps. You could take what you learned from this production and put together either a workout or a dance routine, and it has the nice bonus of guiding you to the right music, costuming, and finger-cymbal work. All in all, Bellydance! Magical Motion is an excellent resource for the budding enthusiast. --Brendan J. LaSalle

5.0 out of 5 stars Great For Beginners!, May 22 2004

Katherine Pfeiffer "Kata" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bellydance: Magical Motion (VHS Tape)

This was one of the first belly dance videos that I bought. I still love it (even after two years of serious study). I now recommend it to anyone who wants to begin bellydance! Atea's choice of dancers and costumes; her clear instructions; the repetition of each move so that you can follow along (dance with her - as if you were at a lesson) are all excellent. The quality of everything -lighting, sound, music, introductory material - are all high. This is an inspirational as well as practical video.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's okay..., Mar 13 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Bellydance: Magical Motion (VHS Tape)

Yes, she's a bit stiff, but it's easy to follow if you are a beginner. You'll be beyond this tape before long, but you can follow the basic moves easily. Once you have that you can add your own pazazz. And it's pretty.

1.0 out of 5 stars It's a shame there are not 0 stars on ratings, Feb 4 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Bellydance: Magical Motion (VHS Tape)

Reasons not to buy this video:
1. She reads from cue cards the entire time.
2. She's extremely stiff and boring.

I have only watched this video once in the two years that I have owned it.
