1.0 out of 5 stars Other much better belly dancing dvds on the market..., 20 Jan 2005

By	"elishalovesseanpaul" - See all my reviews

I purchased this dvd as it was the most widely available belly dancing dvd so naturally i assumed it would be the best.Initially I was impressed by Hilarys moves, it was only when i purchased another instructional belly dance dvd by Dolphina, that i realised how poor the quality was.Hilary does not even include a warm-up, the picture quality is very poor, rather home movie-ish, there is no change in costume or location and i'm sure the same monotonous background music is used throughout.It is also quite short and includes too much of her dancing on tables and such like.
The only redeming quality was that her instructions were quite clear , however I really do beleive the dvd should have more content considering the price...i'd rent rather than buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says on the packet !!, 31 Jul 2003

By	Jacqui Fleming (Warrington, cheshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This really is one of the best of the 'teach yourself' Belly Dancing out. The instructions are so clear and well demonstrated that you can forigive the poor lighting and picture quality.
Some of the movements that she teaches on the video such as the 'Egyptian Walk', I have heard other techers try and explain, but Hillary makes things so much easier to follow.
Each movement has it's own section so you can stop and practise to your own background music and think about what you have just seen and heard.
It really is begginer's level, so I recommend that you get the intermediates with this one as after a while you do feel as if you need something more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear, easy to follow teaching - Naomi's review, 26 Jul 2006

By	Sam's reviews (Wales UK) - See all my reviews

The only reason I haven't given five stars is because the sound quality at the beginng was a bit muffled. As a teacher Hilary Thacker was very good and I certainly enjoyed following her instruction throughout the DVD. She showed the moves at different angles, and how to walk the figure of eights and hipdrops, camels etc. The snake arms were the most fun! I'm going to follow on to her intermidate's DVD.

There is nothing wrong with the dancing on the DVD, or Miss Thacker's teaching. Read more
