Throughout Michigan as well as Canada, Dalila has performed and instructed students in the art of belly dance, often referred to as “Raks Sharki”. In an effort to accurately represent authentic Middle Eastern dance and enhance her technique, she has studied under Metro-Detroit’s premier belly dance instructor, Princess Madiha. In addition to private lessons, Dalila lived overseas and traveled throughout Tunisia, studying native, folkloric dance forms.

 

Adding to her extensive and unique repertoire, Dalila is experienced in both ballet and tap as well as having participated in professional dabke dance troupes. Her formal training also includes collegiate studies in Contemporary and West African dance forms at Western Michigan University.

 

Dalila's dance embodies a deep appreciation for culture and history, and she is passionate about sharing her experience through performance, education and instruction.
