Product Details

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
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
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
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.

This is the best by far of all the instructional tapes on learning to belly dance. The series is done very professionally and the teaching is clear and is well demostrated. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Atea's a classic!
Just so everyone knows, Atea is NOT that stiff in real life! She must be camera-shy (a lot of us are). Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Stiff.
If you're looking for a video to workout along with, this is probably not going to be what you're looking for. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars There are far better tapes out there...
If you are looking for a tape to dance "with", this isn't it.
It's more like a documentary on dance.

2.0 out of 5 stars beginners only, maybe
Beginners who would like a quick view into some dance might take advantage of this video. There is an attempt to cover a lot of ground, but none of it is done well. Read more
