4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, Mar 15 2004
By Chrissy (DE, USA) - See all my reviews
Basic Dance was one of my first introductory videos into the art of Belly Dance. It was the most helpful and continues to be. First I used it to learn bellydance. Then I still used it to practice, and now I'm using the choreography for my school's diversity night! The rich Egyptian style music never gets boring and gives you a taste of the MiddleEast. Veena and Neena have an easy and sensual approach to teaching the bellydance moves that'll transform you into the Goddess that you are! It's fun, low-impact but effective, sensual, liberating, and a true artform! If you're interested in Bellydane than trust me this video is the BEST start you could find. All their other videos are also fantastic too! Also, this video's great if you're an instructor looking for a choreography to teach your beginner students!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but short, Jul 12 2003
By "enirhtak" (Enid, OK United States) - See all my reviews
They are really good at breaking down the moves. Sometimes they tends to move their camera to wrong places, but over all instruction is great, but once you learn the steps the actual dance itself is only 3-4 mins long.

Before purchasing this tape, I knew that it was called, "Basic Dance". But, I didn't comprehend how "basic" it was going to be. Read more
