Videos for belly dancers have grown to be a large market. The bulk of them are instructional videos either introducing the dance or focusing on particular specialties. Some offer fitness workouts based on belly dancing moves, and others showcase performances. There's also a small number of documentaries featuring related topics. With so many videos to choose from, how do you locate ones that match your interests, and how do you make an informed decision on which one to buy? If you've purchased an instructional video, how do you structure a study-at-home session to gain the most value from it? On this page, Shira brings all her articles, reviews, and advice about videos to a single place. |
