From Amazon.com
Bellydance! Magical Motion is a well-balanced introduction to this ancient and alluring art form. What makes this video different is that it adds a new dimension by emphasizing the exercise potential of the dance every bit as much as the artistry. And they're right: the motions taught here are definitely an excellent way to keep the body in shape. This is not, however, simply a workout tape; it is an instructional dance video that provides a solid foundation in all of the basic motions and steps. You could take what you learned from this production and put together either a workout or a dance routine, and it has the nice bonus of guiding you to the right music, costuming, and finger-cymbal work. All in all, Bellydance! Magical Motion is an excellent resource for the budding enthusiast. --Brendan J. LaSalle

 Great For Beginners! May 22, 2004
Katherine Pfeiffer
This was one of the first belly dance videos that I bought. I still love it (even after two years of serious study). I now recommend it to anyone who wants to begin bellydance! Atea's choice of dancers and costumes; her clear instructions; the repetition of each move so that you can follow along (dance with her - as if you were at a lesson) are all excellent. The quality of everything -lighting, sound, music, introductory material - are all high. This is an inspirational as well as practical video.
 It's okay... March 13, 2004
Yes, she's a bit stiff, but it's easy to follow if you are a beginner. You'll be beyond this tape before long, but you can follow the basic moves easily. Once you have that you can add your own pazazz. And it's pretty.
 It's a shame there are not 0 stars on ratings February 4, 2004
Reasons not to buy this video:
1. She reads from cue cards the entire time.
2. She's extremely stiff and boring.
I have only watched this video once in the two years that I have owned it.
See a Clip January 26, 2004
Alyssa Morhardt (New York, NY)
I was thinking of puchasing this video when I came accross this web site with clips from the video on it!http://www.magicalmotion.com/videomagicalmotion.html I'm going to buy it just for the fabulous explination of the belly roll.
These videos are horrible! November 24, 2003
Gertrude Ezell (Wasilla, AK USA)
I'm sorry, but these are horrible for teaching belly dance. Atea is very stiff & stilted & her chorus dancers CANNOT dance! It is absolutely Scary!
I have never seen anyone (in person or in a video) dance the way that they do in this video. If you are interested in learning to dance, please, choose another instructor!
