I’ve just started taking Belly Dancing classes and the teacher uses the style she was taught in “just follow me and you’ll get the hang of it!”. I’d like to get a good beginner tape that I could practice with and get the basic moves down - anyone have any suggestions? Thanks! ---

What style of bellydance are you learning, traditional or tribal? ---

I love Kathy Smith for all things exercise. She explains things very well. I believe she has a belly dancing workout. Here it is: [Flex Appeal](http://www.amazon.com/Kathy-Smith-Appeal-Belly-Workout/dp/B0001IN0C6/sr=1-39/qid=1168877189/ref=sr_1_39/104-9461828-5756736?ie=UTF8&s=dvd) ---

I have [The Goddess Workout: Introduction to Bellydance](http://www.amazon.com/Goddess-Workout-Introduction-Bellydance/dp/B00005K3N9/ref=pd_bxgy_d_img_b/102-0813475-8780105) with Dolphina and it’s actually pretty good. She’s kind of annoying, but easy to follow. ---

I found this video, kind of expensive but it’s highly recommended. It’s an introduction to belly dancing video. Have you tried going to [amazon.com](http://amazon.com)?? Hope you find what your looking for. 🙂 ---

Thanks for the help! I didn’t even think of going to [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com) but now I’m kicking myself for not thinking of it sooner! Again, thanks! ---
