Bellydancing videos can never give you the kind of feel and intensity as going to an actual class. Not to knock them but you guys should really check and see if there are live bellydancing classes in your area!
Bellydancing is a great workout, a lot of fun and REALLY gives you something to show off on the dance floor, lol. A lot of the motions in bellydance are similar to those I was doing for years dancing to reggae, so it was a lot easier for me than it was for some people in the class, but no matter the skill level EVERYONE had a great time. Having a teacher there to help you focus made sure that everyone progressed.
Also, buy a scarf w/ coins. You can make a lot of noise when you shimmy, and it makes a huge difference to the hip thrust and figure eight movements. THere are a lot of online markets where you can buy them.
