Performance & Instructional
Videos
Belly Dancers around the country and around the world are embracing Delilah's
vision of belly dancing... that this ancient art of dance is a distinctly feminine
creative process which can be a powerful tool for uniting physical, mental, and
emotional energy in a form of personal self-expression. In her belly dancing
videos and DVD's, Delilah emphasizes visualization and extension of mind and
body as the foundation of meaningful, expressive belly dancing.
Bazaar

as well as for bellydance classes and workshops, as well as belly dance costumes,

Powerbelly Weight
Belts
Ever wonder what
makes Delilah such a strong dancer? Here is Delilah’s
training secret... adding an 8-12 pound weight belt to your
hips while you practice new moves or do your daily workout
improves core body strength, balance, and endurance. This technique
is for the beginner, hobbyist, or professional dancer or instructor.
It speeds up the time it takes to learn a new hip move. The
subtle extra weight makes you work a little harder; when you
remove the weight belt, the muscle memory is there and your
hips move like greased lighting! It’s
a great warm up device before a show or contest.
