Delightful
When I started dancing 2 years ago, i was clueless. This video was one of the first ones i purchased and i basically learned how to dance from Atea. My regular classes became much more fun after a few months of practicing with her video and i found it easy to pick up the next level of techniques. Regardless of whether you like her personal style of dancing, this video will get you through the first few months of stuggling with the basic moves if you use it several times a week as a supplement to regular classes.Those looking for an easy dance tape to help ease back pain and stiffness will also find it valuable.

Good for learning basic bellydancing moves.
There are some pros and cons to this instructional video. Overall, it is a good place to start if you want to learn some basic belly dance moves. Here are some of my comments to give you a better sense of what "Slow Moves" has to offer you.

THE GOOD -- Atea demonstrates and explains some belly dance moves including hip movements, belly rolls, and head slides. You can see her entire body, which helps when you are learning these moves yourself. Also there are four individual dance performances and a group dance, which is interesting and good for ideas. These performances may give you some ideas for costuming (though I hope not), choreography, or just inspire you to be the DIVA that you already are!! =)

THE BAD -- Some of the dance performances lack grace and fluidity. You can almost hear them counting the beats to the music in their head. This kind of purposeful dancing is not natural---the choreography should flow better from each move. Be careful who you chose to model your style of dance after. A good way to learn anything is to copy, simulate or model after an experienced instructor. Be forewarned that some of the performances in this video leave a lot to be desired. A good performer is Dahlia, I believe she is the first person to dance on this video.

THE UGLY -- This may seem superficial but nonetheless it effects the overall quality and enjoyment of the video.....The aestethics are not pleasing at all. The setting, costuming, and 80's hair from the instructors are quite unattractive and distracting. If you suffer from ADD or are easily distracted, then you may find it difficult to focus on the belly dance moves. If this is the case, I would recommend that you get Neena & Veena's, Basic Moves Bellydance video.

Slow Moves is a good video for beginners, and those interested in learning how to belly dance. I would also recommend this video to those who want to refresh their technique.
