Bellydance Fast Moves is a very good video for learning some of the fast moves of bellydancing. It's one of three videos made by Atéa and friends. All the videos are of good quality and fairly easy to follow. The scenery is fairly simply and not distracting. Atéa and "freinds" give small performances demonstrating different ways of using and interprting fast moves. During the instruction several dancers execute the movements at the same time so you can see it on several different body types. The video also offers you a short and simple choreograpy. I wouldn't consider the choreography to be good enough to perform though, as it was ment to help you get the hang of switching from one move to another I would reccomend this video for beginer to intermediate dancers. This video should be on every dancers shelf.
