Basic Workout (Princess Farhana) – in spite of its name, this is not a workout DVD. It is however a very good instructional DVD. Princess Farhana breaks down several beginner level moves and drills them. The sections beginners might have difficulty with are the arm movements layered with hip lift shimmies, the hip drop kick and the horizontal and vertical figure 8s (I introduce all of these concepts in intermediate). Her undulations section is actually sagital hip and rib cage circles, though she does add stepping with them. She calls these moves camel and then rib cage camel. I had not heard the hip circle referred to as the camel by itself, usually the camel is the combined ribcage and hip movement. Purchase at Amazon
