With its success in the U.K., in cooperation with the publishing house of New World Music Ltd., Amira’s Bellydance Music Compilation CD was released in 2006, available on Amira’s website.- Amira teaches the proper posture and reminds you about it throughout her lesson. The majority of instructional videos neglect that.- Her instructions are more thoughtful than in many other bellydance programs- Unlike some instructors who don’t realize that you need to practice the moves individually before you can put them together and up to speed, Amira makes sure you absorb each movement by repeating it many times.- The camera is always where it belongs (which is rare in the world of bellydance videos).- Amira’s style is very soothing and helps focus on movement execution.- Amira’s appearance and the choice of background and music are very tasteful.
