Belly Dancers around the country (and around the world) are embracing Delilah's vision of belly dancing. 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 DVDs, Delilah emphasizes visualization and extension of mind and body as the foundation of meaningful, expressive belly dancing. 
 |
 |
 |
Delilah's teaching methods are clear, easy to follow, and very effective. The Delilah's Bellydance Workshop Series is a serious tool for dancers, one that you will use for years, even your whole dance career! You can find belly dance videos that cost less, but you will not find any that give you more for your money.
These three video volumes present a complete belly dancing workshop, to be studied in your own home, at your own pace. In them, Delilah defines an extensive vocabulary of dance, explaining and demonstrating hundreds of different belly dance movements and techniques, including zill patterns. In addition, she provides a holistic warm-up routine designed to prepare your body for the joyous experience found in this ancient dance form. Each 90 minute program is presented as an entertaining blend of instruction, philosophy, and beautiful bellydance performances, illustrating the many facets of this ancient art.
Web Club #303 is now open to all registered owners of Delilah's Belly Dance Workshop series. This is a password protected site which includes additional information related to the subjects covered on each of the three volumes of the series, as well as the extras added to the DVD versions.

Answer to a common question: what's the difference? The difference between this program and Delilah's three volume workshop series is that this program will deal with the underpinnings of the dance in a deeper more detailed fashion. Very Important teachings for students and aspiring teachers, but if a student is only able to afford one video and anxious to work on specific movement vocabulary, they might be better served by picking one of the classic workshop volumes. Belly dancing is an endless art form and it can not be taught on just one video. We hope you will enjoy building your own personal video library.
This program begins with a performance to the classical song called Leilet Hob by Muhammad el Wahab. On this video you will find one of my famous 'Elemental Warm-Ups' that turns into a deep lesson plan I call 'Mapping the Internal Realms of the Body.' As part of this work we will begin the Horizontal Belly Roll. It is the hardest and rarest belly roll work I know, but I decided to work with it in the beginning, because everything up the road will seem easier after practicing these fundamentals. Then we move into the basic mechanics of bellydance: alignment, shimmies, exotic arms, 7 hands, and head slides. We feature the hour glass concept, exotic lotus hands and Kali's arms. With these simple concepts you can practice a mystic 'Candle Dance' included in the program.
You also receive a membership to the Visionary Belly dance Web Club #101, which includes additional learning materials for the beginning belly dance student or teacher.

For intermediate and advanced dancers. In this program we look back at a spontaneous choreography, deconstruct it, and squeeze the juice from its kernels to nourish our growth and understanding of bellydance. As we view this instructional companion to Fire at the Iao, we find ourselves observing the science behind the magic and art of bellydance.
One five minute section of the live Iao concert performance is carefully broken down into seven instructive lessons with approximately 48 different bellydance moves. Even non-dancers will find this highly original instructional program fascinating and illuminating. This program was shot with 2 cameras during the live concert at the Iao Theater and 3 cameras at American Productions studio for the instructional program. A Retro Choreography is a very well produced presentation we know you will enjoy.
Flamenco and bellydance, hot and soulful. Fire at the Iao captures a remarkable performance... a beautiful, entertaining and entrancing evening of dance and music. This live show from the Iao Theater, Wailuku Maui in February 2000, stars Nikki Conti & Sulyman El Coyote in Spanish Flamenco, and Delilah & Sirocco in Middle Eastern Bellydance.
It is also a great study piece for all dancers striving to understand and harmonize their own spirit of performance with the application of techniques.
You also receive a membership to the Visionary Belly Dance Web Club, which contains additional resources for intermediate, advanced, and professional belly dancers.

Combinations with Delilah is an intermediate level lesson plan. It starts with a wild warm-up accompanied by Uncle Mafufo. It’s aimed at heating up the dancers awareness and energy levels from within. The chapters are broken into eight different combination sections. Delilah teaches 4-5 belly dance movement combinations in each section with variations and hand movements. Then you practice putting them together into a repetitive set that you can dance along with Delilah accompanied by a live musicians Uncle Mafufo, Erik Brown and Steven Flynn on dumbek, def and ney. This workshop is designed to help dancers with their transitions of stringing one isolated move into the next with grace and ease. You will find these sets challenging and fun! It’s also great to do with your Power Belly Weight belt.
As an added BONUS Erik Brown has recorded 3 short drum solos as soundtrack options for dancers to practice to! Really Cool!

When a dancer friend of ours produced this video, we were so excited by it that we had to make it available to you in our catalog. Goddess Grace is a moving meditation which weaves together elements of yoga, bellydance, other dance forms and exercise routines in a continuously flowing Tai Chi-style format. The movements are coordinated with a spoken meditation which invokes 26 goddesses from around the world, from Athena to Zoe, and includes empowering first-person affirmations. The form develops strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and grace, stretching and toning the entire body, while instilling a positive self-image and inspiring personal and social transformation. The concept and execution of this tape are unique and wonderful. We applaud Mariel for her production, and highly recommend it. | GODDESS GRACE: A MOVING MEDITATION | |||

This excellent video by dancer Gaby Oeftering, of Freiberg, Germany, belongs in every bellydance instructor's library, as well as that of midwives, childbirth educators, doctors, and communities. It is a wonderful mix of performance by two beautiful dancers, Haava and Sabine, in their 3rd trimester; discussion of the science and history of childbirth preparation by Dr. Liseiotte Kuntner, Doctor of Ethno-Medicine; instruction by physiotherapist Irmtraud Schieder on specific exercises and therapies to use during pregnancy; real-time practical warm-up, exercises and bellydance movements for pregnant women taught by Gaby. The video demonstrates that Oriental dance offers a therapeutic advantage for pregnant women for relieving pain, strengthening muscles involved in birth, harmonizing mother and child through prenatal interaction, and instilling a sense of joy and celebration throughout the prenatal and birthing process.| BELLY DANCING DURING PREGNANCY | |||

I recently was in LA and a friend urged me I must buy a copy of this video program! She knew me to be a woman who would appreciate and applaud the power of creativity and freedom of expression for all women. So, I bought it! I got home and put it in my VCR and I was really moved by the performances of these artists. So moved, I decided to make it available to you on our web site!
Here are the liner notes from the back of the box:
An Evening of Experiemental Middle Eastern Dance is a forum for Middle Eastern dancers to perform their controversial works. The performances, all based in some aspect of the Middle Eastern dance idiom, make current borders and standard representations visible by playing with and pushing past them.
Dancers bring to light some issues that are covered up and neglected, such as gender roles, eroticism, sexuality and desire, spirituality, cultural appropriation, the role of the audience and stereotyping.
