Instructor Details

Daleela Morad

Daleela Morad has been teaching the time-honored art of the belly dance for over 20 years and performing for almost 30 years. She is the recipient of the prestigious "Elly Award" which honors outstanding achievement in the Dramatic Arts. She has trained with various master teachers in Egypt, the motherland of the belly dance. Daleela holds a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and a Minor in Music. In her classes, books and DVDs, she fuses her expertise in both psychology and dance to present belly dance as therapy for body, mind and soul.

Daleela started belly dancing as a freshman at the University of California, Davis. This ancient art helped her balance a heavy academic workload with a low impact physical activity that she soon discovered was more than meets the eye. She discovered that this dance form was also emotionally and psychologically therapeutic, because it helped to counteract the masculinizing effects of what is still in essence a patriarchal culture. Daleela discovered the opportunity to connect to her feminine curves, a sensuality she didn't know she possessed, and to an ancient past when women danced with other women in a culture that nurtured sisterhood. This brought considerable balance and fun to the otherwise stressful effects of living in a fast paced world.

This is one of the best belly dance courses I have seen online. Daleela is an amazing teacher. She goes from the simplest steps to the most advanced in an evolutionary way which makes it very easy to learn.

It was a good course. I could learn the basics and ejoyed a lot! Also this course made me interested to learn more.

I went through the course just once and enjoyed learning the steps. Daleela really knows how to explain each one well, but it was a bit difficult to hear some parts of the video. I'm looking forward to linking the steps into a smoother dance/fitness routine.

I'm having fun already. I wish she had a microphone on, though. At some points, I feel like she is difficult to hear.

Güzel beklediğim gib ancak altyazılar yardımcı değil. Hem yanlış yazılmış hem de instructorın ayaklarını görmemiz lazım

By Avi Kyan on 7/14/2019

This is the first online belly dance course that I feel I'm actually learning it! It feels even more natural than in-person belly dance classes. ~Can't be thankful enough Daleela

By Sachiko C on 5/13/2019

This course is great so far! I am a total beginner who owned one belly dancing DVD previously. I did not complete the DVD because it was too hard for me. I like your course much better :) Thank you!

By Patti Blaylock on 1/10/2019

Very good course. Perfect for beginners or to review if you haven't danced in a long time. Daleela gives clear instructions and demonstrates from all sides so you really get a sense of the movement. Great video!

By Andrea Martinez on 1/4/2019

Daleela patiently broke down the steps and was easy to understand. I enjoyed the cardio section because it was just right for a beginner. It wasn’t too difficult and yet I got a great workout!

By Joaquin on 1/4/2019

I thoroughly enjoyed this course because it was easy to follow, the teacher gave good instructions and she spoke clearly and slowly. I liked that she demonstrated the moves from different angles. I’m a beginner, so that was very helpful...Jackie
