REWRITE WHOLE REVIEW COPY OF BASIC DANCE REVIEW
This is the first video in the Sensual Art Of Bellydance series. It is entitled basic dance and that's exactly what it teaches. This is a good video for an absolute beginner but most dancers will find that they are quite familiar with the contents. I think the video is of good quality and has been well produced. It's also among the more affordable videos. They demonstrate the move pretty well, however, they don't mention where the weight is most of the time. I liked that they do teach a choreography yet, I was a little dissapointed that it wasn't to a whole song, just a piece of a song... but, at least beginners can get an idea of how to put the moves together. Overall I would recomend this video to anyone looking for a beginner video.
