DVD Reviews of Amira's Belly Dance 101 Dvd, a 5-Star Instructional Video of Belly Dancing Basics for Beginners

DVD Review: The Best I've Tried!
Summary: 5 Stars

You know how sometimes you have a difficult time grasping an idea or concept, and lots of people try to explain it to you but something still eludes you? That's how I felt about bellydance. I thought it was a beautiful art form and a great workout, but no matter how many DVDs I tried, something was still wrong when I watched myself performing the moves in the mirror. I couldn't figure out what I wasn't doing right. And I've been working at it. I've got over twenty bellydance DVDs. The Goddess Workout (which was my favorite up till now), Veena and Neena, Suhaila, Rania, Blanca, Neon...I swear I have everybody represented.

My point is that Amira explains the moves in a way that I was able to understand and grasp. i can finally do the Camel and it looks right! I get it now. This new understanding affects my ability to do all my other bellydance workouts and videos, and I think Amira has been instrumental in that change. Now I feel like I can start really practising and building on what I've learned. Thanks, Amira!

DVD Review: AMIRA BELLY DANCE
Summary: 5 Stars

I got this dvd about a month ago and think its great. Very basic, its just what a beginer needs. If you work every day on it you should be able to master this dvd in a month. Good luch!!!

DVD Review: The right amount of instruction!
Summary: 5 Stars

I have a lot of belly dance videos and most of them focus so much on the dancers abdomen and face that you can't really see or understand the moves. The teaching goes by so quickly or is so lacking in detail that it often feels like the videos (the ones i have are for exercise) are more for showmanship than instruction. Amira's videos are nothing like this. This video is a step by step rundown of how to do a myriad of different belly dancing moves. It focuses on the head, neck, arms, chest, abdomen, hips, thighs, calves, feet, everything. Each step is broken down bit by bit with guided instruction and a slow visual example that gradually increases in pace. It was easy to follow and informative. Amira really takes in to account that most people probably don't move their body like this every day or even during most workouts and she explains the movements in a way that makes them feel more natural and applicable.

DVD Review: my first and my best belly dance DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

I love Amira's clean, crisp yet very feminine belly dance.
I practiced athletics for more then 10 years and classic ballet before. So I managed to ruin my lumbar vertebrae and the only recommended physical exercise was swimming. It helped a lot but I could see a decrease of my lower back mobility and it was worsening no matter my efforts to stop it. My physical therapist (an Egyptian girl) recommended belly dancing. First I thought she was making fun of me but after I gave to this suggestion two months of thinking I bought Amira's bellydance DVD. I received the DVD 8 months ago and practiced at list 3 times a week; it was the exercise I needed. When I decided that I could ace :) the beginner level I looked for an Amira's intermediate but unfortunately didn't find it. So I chose Jena's intermediate bellydance and I had no problems with following Jena's instructions; she's great too. In fact a pleasant surprise was to see Amira invited to one of Jena's demonstrations.
So thank you Amira, I hope to see an Amira's drum sollo or veil DVD, soon.

DVD Review: perfect dvd for total beginners
Summary: 5 Stars

Exactly what i wanted - super simple and easy to understand. I appreciate Amira's sweet, calming, gentle energy... i tend to get frustrated when i am trying something for the first time and Amira always makes me feel good in my body and reminds me of my natural feminine power.
This dvd is not a huge workout but it is perfect for when you're just starting cuz you don't have the muscles for it yet and you have to go slowly so you don't injure yourself.
I also love the warm-up and cool down sections - so important to keep your body healthy!
I would definitely recommend this video to a total beginner who wants a simple and fun introduction to belly dance.
