A series of five belly dance instructional DVDs are coming to retail in August & September from the IAMED – International Academy of Middle Easter Dance – and BayView Entertainment, one of America’s leading distributors of fitness and dance DVDs.
Hackensack, NJ, July 30, 2008 --(PR.com)-- One of the most popular forms of dance throughout the world is belly dance, practiced on nearly every continent and popularized via film, music video, and television. Now, BayView Entertainment, one of America’s leading distributors of fitness and dance DVDs, is releasing a series of belly dancing programs from the IAMED – the International Academy of Middle Eastern Dance in August and September. The five DVDs – covering all subjects ranging from beginner instruction…to advanced techniques of finger zilling…to fitness using belly dance – are designed for participants at all levels of expertise, and promise to be a fun and exciting way to learn the art of the dance. The DVDs, each with a suggested retail price of $19.99, will be available in stores throughout the country and at all major online retailers – including Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, BestBuy.com, FitnessFly.com and others – in August and September, 2008.
The benefits of belly dance are both mental and physical. Dancing provides a good cardio-vascular workout and helps increase both flexibility and strength, focusing on the core muscles, although it also builds leg strength. Many belly dance styles emphasize muscular isolations, teaching the ability to move various muscles or muscle groups independently. Veil work also builds arm, shoulder, and general upper-body strength, and playing the zils can build strength and independence of the fingers. Belly dance is suitable for all ages and body types, and can be as physical as the participant chooses.
