Beginner choreography

[Roxy]

Hey guys. I’m new. I’ve been watching YouTube videos and learning the basic steps for about a month now. I would like to get started on beginner combinations/choreography. While they are there on YouTube, most don’t go through the steps break down. Can anyone please help

You should purchase an instructional DVD or find a video that breaks things down more. Many YouTube videos are more for promotion by the instructor to buyer their DVDs or take their classes.

Welcome to OD and to belly dance, Roxy. I'm so happy to have you here. I agree with the Bonfire but have been away from the scene for long enough that I wouldn't know which dvd to recommend. Ideas, anyone?

Well that depends on the style.

What style do you prefer Roxy?

For now, I’m more interested in the Egyptian style, and the Turkish style.

For Egyptian style, I really love Ranya Renees DVDs in general. I'm not sure if they are what you are looking for at this stage in your dance journey, but I could recommend them any day. They are so full of information I could watch them over and over again.
The DVDs from Outi of Cairo might also be worth checking out.

I’ll check them out. Thank you.

FWIW, I'll throw this out there: Cory Zamora. Her vids are excellent. They're NOT a slick production, just simple "get the job done" videos. However, she is an AmCab dancer - which incorporates styles from all over the world.

I started out with Jillina's beginning choreography. She is very good at breaking things down.
