I've treated myeself to a belly dancing costume, and since there are no classes in my area, I'd love to hear any recommendations you might have on instuctional book/videos/dvd etc that you've found useful.
I looked at the DVD's, but there weren't any with high star ratings, plus some were Region 1 only.
Type 'Belly Dancing' in DVD section and have a look round there.

If you are anywhere near the M60, there are classes on a Friday night at Prestwich (Bury) in the Longfield suite.
I was there last night at an Irish Set Dance festival, and there were flyers on the table.
Ive been a belly dancer for four years now and it is such good fun.
Having moved to the island 2 years ago, i was desperate to find a group here , and I did. They are , I have to say, a bit more conservative over here but wearing my costumes has caught on with the others and they are now scouring ebay for stuff.
I look at clips on google video, u tube, there are pages of the stuff.
good luck and enjoy
