Egyptian Belly Dancing with Hilary Thacker. "This video is not worth the money. Maybe for 1/3 the price it would be. Yes, she does teach you some moves, which she does spend a good amount of time on, but they are VERY basic. However, it is very difficult to understand her! The sound is atrocious, you can barely hear her, and if you can hear her, you sometimes have to struggle to understand because of her british accent. On top of this who would choose a black costume, with a (very) dark gray background? It makes it more difficult to see her moves very well."

Egyptian Dancing with Hilary Thacker. "Filmed with live Egyptian music - Haggag Metqal on tabla, Essam ElMatrawi on douf and AlGamal ElSaghir on keyboards. You can use this as an advanced instruction video or simply as a performance video to sit back and enjoy. Hilary goes through four rhythms - Whada Kebira, Maqsoum, Saaidi and Fellahi, first with the drums alone and then set to music. Also featured are the song Nasa and the Baladi with taqasim and drum solo. There is also some beginners finger cymbal instruction."
