Benefits of DVDs vs Online Videos
In these days of video streaming, most people don’t even own a DVD player anymore. Most DVDs are no longer being produced new, so you have to you have to buy used. However, there are a few benefits of using old-school DVDs for learning how to belly dance. These benefits include:
- You don’t have to watch the video on your phone or laptop, which allows them to be used for other things while you are watching the DVD.
- If buying used DVDs, the price point can be low compared to buying a monthly subscription to online video dance classes.
- You can easily sample a bunch of different teachers to see which instructor you like best.
- The lessons on DVDs are better organized for learning effectively than a bunch of random YouTube videos.
Drawbacks of DVDs vs Online Videos
On the flip side, using DVDs to learn to belly dance has the following drawbacks:
- Used and hard to find DVDs can actually be more expensive than a month of online classes.
- Most instructors only have one or two DVDs, so you can’t find additional classes for them on DVD.
- There are lots of free YouTube videos that teach different belly dance moves, so no need to buy anything.
