Other benefits:
Your heart rate goes up, you sweat, build bone density and can lose weight. When you take the belt off, you will feel a rush of energy like you’ve been given a shot of vitamin B. The weight belt is my secret strategy when I first learned to dance. I was working professionally after 1 year of dance training and all through my career I have used my belt for staying fit as learning new techniques. Locally Bella Jovan, Brigitte Samson, Kalara and most of my proteges understand and are all big fan of the weight belt, Rachel Brice and many other top professional dancers across the globe own them.
My weight belts are reasonably priced but not cheep. They are hand made in America and not made in China. They are of special materials. If you mention this post you can get a 20% discount for your belt and it will be waiting for you at class. oxox D. More on Power Belly Belts here>>

Power Belly Weight Belts: Weight belts are a element of the Power Belly format but not mandatory.
Power Belly 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.
When we opened VDP Studio in 2004 we added the element of live music by Erik Brown: percussion, bass, cumbus, samples 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!
