Conditioning Class
Series
Tuesday & (or) Thursday Nights
Be prepared to sweat! Weight belts are NOT mandatory for Power Belly Class, but as many of
Delilahs students know, they add a lot to your work out. Weight belts are recommended for
maximum results.
In these classes we will stretch and warm up for 10 minutes and then begin
to work with a series of 1 minute repetitive torso, hip, thigh, belly, arm and balance conditioning
exercises for strength and endurance. We are striving to run the bodily instrument through the full
range of belly dance movement possibilities during the hour.
Bring a towel! You'll be wet!
Weight Belts
Rent or
Buy a Belt
If you do not have a weight belt we have plenty for sale here. If you want to
give it a try before you buy one, or you accidentally leave yours at home, we have a limited amount
to rent for $5 per class (keep in mind they are heavy so we cannot provide each student with one.
First come first serve.
If you want to make an appointment to come in and have a free weight belt
demonstration before class or on a different day and time, call (206) 632-1906. One of us will be
glad to spend time with you: Erik, Laura Rose, or Delilah.

The
Class History
The summer of 2003 the first Power Belly Course was offered for 4 weeks before Delilah went on
her 40 Days and 40 Nights East Coast Tour. Dancers loved it with or without weight belts, but for
those who used weight belts, the results were amazing! We saw waistlines manifest. Dancers lost
weight, inches, and got incredibly strong. So, we are going to do it again. Now we are proud to
announce that the Power Belly Class is one of our most popular classes we offer. Jeannette, who
attends both Tuesday and Thursday class gets the award for 'Most Enthusiastic'! She told me the
other day that she has not missed one class since that summer in 2003!
When we opened VDP Studio in 2004 we added the element of live music by
Erik Brown; percussion, bass, migwiz, didgeridoo and found sounds as accompaniment
to our courses. The live element gives us an added dimension to the total feeling of involvement in
the dance. This is also the goal of Power Belly–– to move from the gut! We strive to
engage the dancer emotionally through the discovery of the power in her belly!

Leslie of
Raqs Serpentine
What’s not to
love about belly dancing with fire? I combine over ten years of belly dance training with fire
performance to create a fusion that is sensual, powerful and beautiful. My dance is inspired by the
images and archetypes of Eastern religion as well as Middle Eastern and Classical Indian dance.
After completing my BA in Medical Anthropology with a minor in Ceramics at UMass Amherst, I hit the
road teaching, studying and traveling. It took three action packed years in the Far East and
Southeast Asia to finish that part of life's adventure. A proud native of the great state of Maine,
I will be making my home here in Seattle until the circus comes to town.
It’s my honor to
share my love of dance with Kaori and Ellen. They are goddesses of the winds and earth. Our
differences are our strengths.
I can also be seen in performance with Pyrosutra and the
stiltwalking fire troupe Birds of Paradise.
Visit my website for more pictures, video and

Belly Dancing During Pregnancy
Delilah
presents:
Belly Dance for the Pregnant Women!
Absolute beginning dancers, experienced dancers, belly dance instructors,
midwives, dulas, doctors. Pregnant or not and in all phases of pregnancy. (Maybe you are just
trying to get pregnant and you hope by hanging out with a bunch of pregnant women it'll be
contagious!) Any woman who is sincerely interested in the subject may join this class.
Belly Dancing During Pregnancy is an experiential class aimed at enhancing women's individual
experience of pregnancy as well as her relationship to the birthing process and creative
identification. Classes on belly dance and pregnancy are a very rare bird anywhere in the world.
These are the first classes offered of this kind at VDP studios.
This is more than a
physical movement class. Through the medium of the worlds oldest dance we will access wordless
expressions that arise for each woman during this miraculous time in her life. We will be pioneers
in exploring and furthering the relationship between belly dance and pregnancy by way of
journaling, discussing and the chronicles of individual journeys.
"Belly dance
is the most powerful thing a woman can do for her self!"
Delilah could be
heard repeating all day long in the Fremont Summer Solstice Parade 2005.
"I began an
amazing journey when I preformed for a conference of regional family planners in my second
trimester 20 years ago. It changed my life. I embraced the beauty of the goddess within me as I
masqueraded as Isis the Great Mother for my entire pregnancy. It's implications were far reaching.
Women came to me with tears in their eyes and said they wished they had experienced this dance
during their own pregnancy. They wished for their daughters to have the chance to experience it
too. I knew what they meant because this was my second pregnancy, and even though belly dance was
my life, I didn't see how clearly important it was during my first. Like these women I felt a bit
awkward or invisible to our culture during a time of the most miraculous female life
experience!" excerpt from Delilah's interview on the Dance to the Great Mother video.
While this class is a 6 week course, the plan is to later offer continuing weekly courses or
monthly workshops for the entire year.

and drummers on VDP Drum Page
To be a creative artist you must indulge the
self; for all art comes from within.
Cultivating the
Performer
It’s traditional at VDP studio for Thursday nights to
be dedicated to the cultivation of the belly dance
performance artist rather than a belly dance
technician. We will work on standard techniques from
time to time, but we will call on more emotion and
creativity from the individual dancer. Awareness is
key. Strength, accessibility and courage come next.
This class will stretch your mind as well as your
body. Class is scheduled for 7:45–9:00 pm but may run
longer on some nights.
Each week there will be a group warm-up dance exercise
for 10- 20 minutes, then we move into beyond dance
moves and into the schooling of performance
techniques. Class members are dancers and audience for
each other. Be prepared to start the first class by
introducing yourself through a 3-5 minute prepared
dance in costume and make-up. Costumes are part of the
creative experience of performance.
In this class we will listen and explore all sorts of
music and belly dance with it. Exercises will explore
dynamics and floor design usage. NOTE; In this class
you will be expected to dance solo for each other. You
can bring in your own music as well.
Fall Performance Session 2007

5th Annual Spring Performance Class and Concert
"In the Garden of Allah"
A creative and sensual experience.
Theme: Aroma Therapy and Belly Dance
At each class we will work on various performance exercises to stretch the artists creative muscles. During this session each dancer will pick an aroma or a taste as her muse. She will investigate it’s properties; scent, healing use, history, symbolism, color and texture. . .
She will pick music, dance design, figure out costuming, and perhaps props that will be used to compliment in a dance
inspired by it. This is a performance of her making, but it is worked on in class under the guidance of Delilah and the
constructive feedback from other class members. Each dancer is then invited to perform it in our annual
"In the Garden of Allah" Studio Show on Friday April 25th 2008 (usually at VDP Studio).
"In the Garden of Allah" A Sensual Performance
The Public is invited!
VDP Studio Presents
The 5th Annual performance of
"In the Garden of Allah"
A sensual performance. . . An Aroma Therapy and Belly
Dance Show.
Herstory
This show concept originated many years ago when
Delilah’s Visionary Dancers were studying the power of
the muse in their dance. Searching for inspiration
that engaged the body, mind and senses they began
exploring the world of scent. Our sense of sent is the
most mysterious and least understood. So the first few
shows were all about the dancers exploration with
chosen scents. They research their use history
symbolism and then experience the effects of the sent
and let it lead them to music, costume and dance
composition. Truly a wonderful thought provoking and
experiential show to attend.
Then last year they branched out to also include a
sister sense of Taste! So this year you may be invited
to imbibe or chew a bit of the dance as well!
Warning: there will be lots of scents used in the air
so this show is not for the sneeze inclined.
(This is a Studio Fundraiser to pay studio property taxes
Yikes!)
Limited seating: 40 chairs plus pillow seating.
Advance tickets may reserve a chair. Otherwise first
come first serve.

THURSDAY Performance Class
Golden Era of Belly Dance Classic Series
(8 Weeks
CLASSIC SERIES)
Dates: TBA
Time: 8:00pm - 9:00 plus (classes often go over because of
solo performances)
Each week we will dance together with some sort of creative exercise
and work on performance and stage presence techniques. Dancers are expected to perform and be
audience for each other. We will work with LIVE drum solos. Dance in costumes by all means if you like.
Theme: for this series we will use all music by classical Middle Eastern
composers and singers. Frid Al Atrash. Om Kathum, Halim Hafis, Addul Wahab.
COST:
$120 Registration Form (pdf format).
THURSDAY & SATURDAY PERFORMANCE CLASS
WINTER SOLSTICE SERIES
Dates:TBD
Maybe a performance date as well TBA
This class is open to all levels and is meant to provide challenge and experience. As the dancer
takes on different themes we offer each session, the combined assimilation of experience is aimed
at fully developing and educating the dancer about all avenues of belly dance.
My performance classes usually meet on Thursday nights and are 6 weeks sometimes with extra
field trips and performance options and usually go over time ( it’s a great dollar per hour
value). The sessions are all theme oriented and rotate during the year.
The September-October theme was Musical Appreciation and was dedicated to study and performance
of the Great Arabians classics artists and composers; Hafiz, Um Kolthum, Wahab, Fairuz, Rabani
Brothers, Farid El Atrash, Darvish. (If you dont know any of these names then you need to sign up
for this particular class next time its offered. Probably next summer of fall.). I was very happy
with the growth everyone made in this class. As an extra fringe benefit the class had a dinner
dance party with live music by House of Tarab (5 piece middle eastern band that just changed their
name from Ahlam to House of Tarab). They played live classical Arabic music for them all to dance
to. A fabulous opportunity!
Theme: WINTER SOLSTICE SERIES
This course is about exploring the deeper spiritual meaning behind this ancient dance by way of
it’s personal feminine empowerment, myth, archetype, seasonal connections and ritual. It
starts this week and will meet on a bumpy schedule. So before you sign up, look carefully at the
calendar and see if you can make most of these dates. Reason being working in and around holidays
and Winter Solstice.
In addition on DATE TBA, we try to
attend the Fremont Solstice Feast and contribute some sort of performance energy and that field
trip starts at 6 and goes to late. It’s an annual fabulous family event.
The goal of this class is about
developing the artist within and development takes thought provoking work on the part of the
student. There will be homework projects and the maybe even more hours of rehearsal if a
performance venue and project is launched by the class. Often unexpected events arise during the
holidays and its a lot of fun!

Based in Portland, Oregon, the Brothers perform both traditional and original Middle Eastern /
World Music featuring vocals in seven languages (Arabic, Turkish, Armenian, Farsi, Spanish,
French & English) and instruments from around the world.
Michael and his Brothers of the Baladi have been successfully bringing their
music to festival, college, concert and Belly Dance audiences all over the US & Canada for over 30
years. The Brothers’ ten recordings, including the newest 2005 CD "Presence of the
Past", continue to be distributed nationally and internationally by Allegro Distribution.
The Brothers also remain one of the most popular Belly Dance bands internationally too. His 2002
CD "Hands of a Thousand Dances" proves that Michael is still true to the music of
his heart. It features many different kinds of drum solos on Arabic tabla/doumbek, tar/framedrums,
riq/daff and drum kit, a heavy folkloric/tribal piece, a haunting Persian vocal mawal/gazel and
even a modern house/remix dance piece.
Michael continues to be one of the most sought after
clinicians nationally because he makes it fun and very easy for everyone of all ages - from Basic
Beginner/Elementary Schools to college music programs /Advanced levels and Belly Dancers.
Michael's 1991 Basic Middle Eastern Rhythms VHS/DVD was the first Middle Eastern Drum
instructional video ever marketed. His brand new DVD "Zils and Rhythms for Dancers &
Drummers" features a collaboration with International Dancer, Choreographer, Clinician and
Director of UCSB Middle Eastern Dance Ensemble - Alexandra King.
A multi-linguist and
multi-instrumentalist, Michael is a rare American who has embraced the true meaning of World
Music.
In 1995 The LA Times said this about the Brothers " the band aims to open a window
to the world and creates a sound that knows no borders"

Improvising does not need to be intimidating! It is not this daunting task so many dancers fear! Improv is in each of us. Every cell of our bodies know how to do it, we just have to TRUST. Dahlia is an expert at improvising and music interpretation. This six-week session will gently guide intermediate and advanced dancers through the "letting-go" and "trusting the self" process. With handouts and excercises, students will help students feel more confident and inspired to interpret new music and move freely to the old. Each student is asked, in advance, to bring one piece of music that MOVES them. It does NOT have to be belly dance music. Anything will do!
