Bellydancing5
My husband bought me this DVD as I have been taking lessons locally. The DVD is broken down into sections which makes it very easy to understand and follow. I also like the fact that the woman on the DVD range in ages and experience. You get the opportunity to see how the moves are made by a beginner and someone more experienced. Overall this is a great DVD for anyone wishing to take up Bellydancing. S. Darragh, Valemount. BC.

Wendy Williams does a fantastic job in this video. The instructional style is clear, concise and easy to follow. Using real people rather than 'perfect, plastic, clones; they convey the fact that anyone can learn to belly dance. It is an entertaining and motivating DVD and in fact will assist to slim and Tone your physic if followed four times a week. I love it. Qudos to Wendy and her team of dancers and musicians!
