There are plenty of great belly dance dvd and videos out there to choose from, but sometimes the choice is overwhelming so I always prefer to go on a recommendation from a friend who has already tried one out. Perhaps they can even lend it to you first to see if:

a.    The instruction/instructor in this belly dancing video is to your liking

b.    Belly dancing is for you at all

Having tried out a friend’s belly dance videos first, please do not lose your nerve, because you will be missing out on the opportunity to experience the rewards of this fun and exhilarating way to enjoying fitness and better health in your everyday life.

I highly recommend taking up some belly dancing lessons locally also, because there is no comparison to the one on one instruction you will receive. Having someone who can tell you when you have the moves right and when you don’t will ensure faster learning and I don’t know about you, but I personally lose interest in things too quickly when I try doing them on my own. I find a weekly lesson with others who have a common interest is both a bonding experience as well as a social and learning experience all wrapped into one.

It is not the same for everyone though and many of you may just prefer to do your own thing with a belly dancing video at home alone or perhaps even invite a couple of friends to join you.

If you are looking to buy belly dance videos Amazon has a wide range to choose from with next day delivery.

If you have your belly dancing clothes made to order you can have one bra top that matches with both a skirt and a pair of harem pants and alternate them to suit different occasions or even your own personal moods. Alternatively, selecting costumes that are color co-ordinated as with blues, greens and purples or red, gold, orange and yellow will allow you to come up with a variety of different looking costumes using the just a few items.

Harem Pants

Harem pants, which originated in India are very loose fitting with the crotch hanging down sometimes as far as the knees giving the impression of a skirt, but then they taper in at the ankle giving a very attractive effect. They are comfortable and easy to wear and are especially suitable for ladies who are a little shy about showing off too much leg and waist. They also allow for ample movement whilst maintaining the gracefulness of a skirt.

Take a look at this picture of harem style pants. As you can see they are just as beautiful as skirts and sometimes even indefinable from a skirt.

Belly Dancing Skirts

Belly dancing skirts are often quite risqué, but this does not have to be the case, because you can opt for a full skirt if you prefer. Also, although they usually show off a lot of your middle, if you do not feel comfortable with this you may very elegantly cover up your belly a little by strategically using scarves. I must state though that in looking at pictures of traditional belly dancers you will find that more often than not they do not have a flat belly and there are plenty of men out there who find a woman’s belly to be quite attractive, so don’t be too critical of your figure.

Choosing your belly dancing clothes can be a lot of fun, but of course no more so than actually wearing them and getting out there and dancing in them. Enjoy!
