Hooray!! Delilah is going forward with her Visionary Dance Hawaiian Retreat! Amazing when you consider the terrible weather we’ve been having in the Pacific North West. Anyone attending this retreat will not only get warm they will return home a better dancer.  Delilah is a real pro as a performer and dance instructor.

I had the opportunity to video record her when she performed at Columbia City Theater. This event was to launch the latest CD produced by House of Tarab. This is a CD you will want to add to your collection; really, some of the tracks are already being used by 3 dance companies in their DVD creations) anyway, I have the whole event recorded.  I wish all beginer and intermediate belly dancers would sit and watch the entire,unedited reels; no matter how clever the choreography is, or how many ‘Turkish Drops’ a younger dancer can perform… the skill that Delilah has in the real art of entertainment is worth being mentored by. She had them screaming with delight by just moving her head. I am not kidding.  You can really tell the difference when you see unedited footage; it’s soul satisfying to not only watch a stellar dancer, but also be entertained by someone who can discern what an audience wants and then give it to them!

Thank you Delilah; you make my job a joy.
