The Power Belly Show started filming in May of 2009. By November we had produced 25 individual online episodes! We got requests to make them available on DVD so we picked a couple of our favorites. Enjoy! The Summer 2009 Edition features two discs; the first, Episode 9 in its entirety.

"Sweat Your Ass Off"
Delilah begins without a weight belt in this episodes and introduces the various dimensions and foundation concepts that help the dancer visualize her proper alignment at the center of free movement. You are free to wear a weight belt at any time during this program. Enjoy shimmies, isolations, layering, shivers, slides and belly rolls. You will find very deep, hard pressing, belly and pelvic work here. Delilah introduces a simple 3 line drawing and uses it in a multitude of fast movements on different planes to 6/8 rhythm. Then goes into Saidi hip work with lots more challenges.

Disc two features half of Episode 11 and half of Episode 12.

Episode 11, "Incredible Arm Workout"
AMY SIGIL and the UNMATA GALS do a drop-by to promote the Hawaii Retreat in April 2010. Delilah gives advice to beginners on how to use the Power Belly Show to your best advantage. Then goes into explaining her secret on how to use single free weights to develop upper core body strength and carriage. Lots of arm work while the lower body is doing something else for 30 minutes. A great sweaty work out!
Episode 12, "Earthy Workout"
Seattle was having a heat wave so we took the Power Belly Show out to the garden of Delilah. Live drum, music mix and hookah performed by Erik Brown. Tiffany, Carolyn, Diana, Pearl braved the heat to dance with Delilah in August; Shimmy circle walks, and grounded hip work, pelvic locks, buttock squeezes, undulations, body locks. Very hot.

Each episode of The Powerbelly show includes a “How to Do Stuff” segment, short tutorials with a variety of teachers. This Summer 2009 Special Edition includes Dahlia Moon, a resident instructor at VDP Studio in Seattle, teaching Modern Egyptian and Gawahzee 3/4 Shimmies. Delilah talks about balance issues their correction, as well as teaches her famous “Tail Spin” hip move.
