Instructional Videos by Alexandra King:

The production values aren't terrific, but the instruction is very sound. Unfortunately, it is unclear what audience Ms. King is directing her instruction towards. Some of the moves taught are very basic and suitable for beginners. Others are much more advanced. Still, this is a good resource, and the price is very low.

The Ancient Art of Oriental Belly Dancing 1 by Alexandra King. "Alexandra's performance is done well at the beginning of the tape, but the backgroud of the set interfered with beauty of the dance and the camera angles and flourishes were very distracting to her performance and made it a bit hard to see her moves well enough. Her warmup is good although the backbend is a very advanced move. She speaks clearly and succinctly, and I did like her explanation of spotting technique and her veil technique was excellent for a beginner."

The Ancient Art of Oriental Belly Dancing 2 by Alexandra King. "Alexandra King is a gifted belly dancer and a good teacher. Her instructions are clear and performances are very enjoyable to watch. She is very good about taking the student through well-thought out drills to practice the steps and transitions. Quality of the video isn't the best, but it is certainly usable (and better than some others I've bought!). I loved the floor work and the performance section (floorwork and a drum solo) was inspiring!"
