Looking for opinions on belly dance instructional videos?
I have looked at some amazing belly dance videos on ebay. I have tried the Goddess Workout (fabulous but not always clear on what moves where), Neena and Veena and Kathy Smith. But I want to try someone new. If anyone has some good advice as to instructional videos please let me know. Thanks all!
I host a belly dance class in my home so I do have a teacher/class. 
What I am needing are personal opinions on any of the videos out there that people have tried.

If you want something to really build a good foundation and break moves down to their simplest parts you may like the precision motion workout series by Suzanna Delvecchio (sp?). In general if your not taking classes I’d reccomend signing up for some as opposed to using videos. But there are lots that can be used as supplement to a live class to really help further your learning and facilitate practicing at home outside of class. The videos you mentioned are more workout based than instructional based so they offer minimal teaching in combination with a cardio workout which will be different from a quality instructional which is often slow so that enough time is spent really drilling the breakdown of each movement. I’d suggest looking up videos on amazon and then reading the reviews. It will give you a good idea about what people liked about it and what they didn’t like and you will get a feel of whether or not it will fit in with your style. I’ve got several reviews up on my site (http://www.middleeasterndance.net) and Shira has quite a few reviewed on her site too. (http://www.shira.net)
I liked the video called Visual Melodies, by Hossam and Serena Ramzy.
this is my instructor, Samra. her videos are awesome and she holds workshops around the world.

you won’t be disappointed!
I have DVDs by the Belly Twins & The Goddes one too. Belly Twins is so much better than Dolphina. I just found a new series on FitTV (part of the Discovery Channel family) called Shimmy. They have seson one out on DVD and I purchased it. It is one of the most easy videos I have used thus far. The 2 disk DVD set has the first 13 episodes on it each episode is half an hour long each with a warm up and a choreographed dance then most have you do freestyle at the end. Shimmy has to be my favorite DVD at the moment!
Try Fat Chance Bellydance. Excellent for the basics, and conditioning.
