Instructional Videos by Mara:

Belly Dancing I: Beginning Instruction with Mara: "The dancers who will benefit the most are beginning dancers who have covered the basic moves individually but are having a hard time putting them all together in improvisational style dance."

Belly Dancing II: Intermediate Instruction with Mara: "This video is a wonderful follow-up to the first in the series. Mara explains moves in a way that anyone can understand. By breaking down the moves first BEFORE setting them to music, you can really understand what you are supposed to do. That makes it easier to do the beautiful free-flowing dances she presents. The production is straight-forward, without distracting camera angles and flash-pots, which make you focus on the point of this video - learning how to belly dance. I look forward to many more in this series!"

Belly Dancing III: Advanced Techniques by Mara. "Mara uses the same movements learned in the two previous videos but adds enhancements and tells us how to put the movements together. The format consists of 3 sections of 4 movements each. After each section, there is a dance segment and Mara emphasizes that each of these dance segments is improvised just to demonstrate how you can create a routine even with only a few moves to work with (one of the strong points of this video series)."
