Visionary Dance Productions

I took a beginning belly dance class with Delilah. It actually was not my first class in belly dance, which is probably good, since I think I would have a hard time keeping up if it was.
Delilah is obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about belly dance. So passionate, in fact, that she often forgets that there are new comers and she just dances and doesn’t always catch when people are struggling. When you do interrupt her trance-​like state of dancing and ask her how the heck she’s moving like that, she will give you a phenomenal explanation. I’ve taken belly dance with 3 or 4 different teachers now and NO ONE has been able to properly explain shimmies the way she has.
The space is really cool. I like the Persian rugs all over the floor. They keep your feet from hurting. Much nicer than doing it in a community center on a hard gym floor.
I was a little put off my how often Delilah was late to our class. Once, she was almost 20 minutes late. She’ll make up for it by giving you more time at the end. But still, it’s no fun standing around outside the studio waiting for her. The time she was 20 minutes late, she also seemed very frazzled when she got there, like she just woke up from a nap. And in the process of teaching us some moves, she flashed us her cooch. That was kind of entertaining, actually. It was pretty amazing how great of a dancer she is, even in a half-​awake state.

VDP is my dance home. I love to perform there and taking classes with all the talented teachers there. I highly recommend Power Belly class and especially Performing Class series every Thursday. In performing classes we learned to use floor patterns, how to breath and use our breath in dance, stand still for 5 minutes and let others watch you in one pose to another — this is the hardest part for me since I can’t stand still :). There always more to learn in every class so I just come whenever my schedule permit just like going to the Gym with a membership :). I hope to see more of you at the studio. Wonderful teachers and environment to grow in dance! Dance sisters here are super awesome!!!

Visionary Dance studios is a warm, accepting atmosphere — not only are there legendary teachers, but the students are supportive of each other and strive for a «no cattiness» zone. Delilah was my first dance teacher and I keep coming back — her vision of bellydance as being more than moves slapped onto the outside of your body, resonates with me and feeds my dancer’s soul. Whether you want a kick-​booty workout with Powerbelly, to grow your stage persona with her insightful performance classes, or have one of her visiting teachers (Alimah! Elisa Gamal!) stretch your dance muscles, VDP is the place to go. Thank you, Delilah, for giving me my voice through dance.

I finally got to attend a class! WHEW! Delilah is so knowledgeable!
She worked us– it was a series of simple (well, not so simple, when one can see how I sometimes could not do moves), but not taxing physically, for me anyway. We worked every body part and combined several Isolation moves.
Her instruction and demonstration is very patient and clear. She is encouraging and can reach people with different ages and abilities.
There is so much to it– an art form, personal expression, fun, and toning and coordination.
As others have stated in their reviews Delilah is famous for many performances and teaching so many dancers. A lovely person.
This weekend is MedFest in WesttSeattle– go, see, sign up for classes.
I am currently into my yoga these days. I see a way belly and yoga can be combined in performances and can compliment one another in strength and flexibility training.

I took classes here and loved every minute of it, generally. I will go back and take more classes when my schedule allows. Recommend the whole experience highly. Quality teaching; quality merchandise; quality everything. Delilah is genuine. What more can you ask?

I’ve been dancing with Delilah since before she opened her studio in Fremont. She has gathered a group of teachers that are amazing and talented. I never thought I’d be a belly dancer, but Delilah showed me that I could be. Through this studio I have changed my ideas on what it means to dance, to live and to love. Thanks Delilah!

I love Delilah’s studio and her dedication to the art of bellydance. She has rocked the Fremont Solstice Parade for over 25 years with a bevy of bellies, all in themed costume with practiced routines. My first year as a belly dancer in the parade was fun, my second year was amazing, and I look forward to many more. Delilah has boundless energy and always has events, performances, and learn/​travel opportunities. If you are curious about the art of bellydancing, start here. If you are already an experienced dancer, consider joining in her many festivities.

Everyone should bellydance (and I do mean everyone!), and there is no better place to learn than Visionary Dance! Delilah is both a gifted artist and an amazing teacher, a rare combination. This studio is the most well-​rounded out there, with a rotating selection of fun and interesting classes for all experience levels. The most popular classes are Powerbelly, an intense and exhilarating workout set to live music, and the summer-​time Fremont Solstice parade series, which prepares dancers for the parade (but can’t prepare the parade for the Billion Bellies!), but there are classes for everything from very beginning up through development of artistic freedom. Delilah herself teaches most of the classes, and is supported by a wonderful staff of other instructors offering different styles and emphases including the incomparable Dahlia Moon and Laura Rose. I have been a student at this studio for many years and love love LOVE every class I’ve taken and every performance I’ve been involved in. If you are thinking of trying bellydance for the first time or looking for a new studio in town, this is the place to go!

It’s amazing how much fun a bellydance workout can be. I’ve started taking Delilah’s original Power Belly class for a low-​impact aerobic workout, and it is awesome. Now I’m going to take the Beginning Bellydancing class to learn some of the subtleties. What a great, friendly, group of women.

Visionary Dance Productions is a bellydance studio run by the incomparable Delilah. I’ve been dancing here for almost three years and I love it. Delilah is the most gifted, free-​spirited, encouraging teacher I’ve ever had. Coming from a ballet background, I had a hard time loosening up but its impossible to resist the personality of belly dance. Dancing barefoot on a carpet with live accompaniment in the company of other beautiful women. What’s not to love? Stick your goodies out and shake ‘em! I’ve taken Bellydance 1 and 2, Power Belly and the parade class. They’re all great, I would recommend taking the beginning class if you’re starting from scratch, because Power Belly can be confusing. Delilah is great and accompanist Erik Brown is awesome too. Shimmy on over to visionary dance, you’ll feel so much better about yourself.
