Books
Some books I'd recommend are:
Serpent of the Nile by Wendy Buoventura.
Grandmother's Secrets is a feel-good book on the dance, but I wouldn't take what was said too seriously about the history to heart.
The anecdotes are great!
I also loved the Bellydance
Book.
DVD's/Video
Rumor has it that the
Belly dance Superstars DVD is a knockout. I don't have it but I do have the CD which is amazing.
The Stars of Egypt collection by Hossam Ramzy (an A-star musician) are breath-taking.
Images
The Bellydance museum has a ton of images.
