Well, if you have a few dollars to spend ($124Can but with exchange rate almost the same in USD now), you might want to start with her 4 DVD Complete Oriental Bellydance System . . . it has some of the basics to get you started plus a couple of choreographies. Description from her website:
This is the Ultimate complete system and inlcudes 4 DVDs, sold as a complete set.
Disc One: Hadia's revolutionary new warm-up routine and 10 point alignment check;
Disc Two: Basic level steps and techniques and a full Egyptian style "Shaabiya" choreography;
Disc Three: A more complex intermediate technique and fun filled choreography to Hakim's "Talakeek"; and
Disc Four: Hadia's easy-flow cool down based on her favorite Yoga, Pilates and Jazz exercised to help you mobilize, stretch and strengthen your way to ideal muscle balance!!
Seriously, all these will keep you occupied with dance for quite awhile. And worth the investment to jump-start you into her style. I have those plus a few others and started out years ago with her Raks Sharki series which she has now put out on DVD.
Disclaimer: I am an unabashed fan of Hadia and just hosted her at my house during her Level I Teacher Training in the Dallas area. So, yes, I do like what she does!
