Learn the Jamila Salimpour Belly Dance (JSBD) format, all four volumes of instruction on one DVD. The JSBD format was created over 50 years ago and still stands strong as a valid and effective format.

Why learn Jamila's format?
Because it's belly dance history. Out of this format came Bal Anat and tribal belly dance. Suhaila's format evolved from these roots.
The format is effective and challenging.
Learn Jamila's finger cymbal method to play varied and interesting patterns effortlessly as you dance.

A young Suhaila teaches the movments that make up Jamila's format. Steps such as basic Egyptian, shift pivot step, Maya, Samiha and open turns are all taught in a fairly fast paced yet thorough method by Suhaila. Steps are done forward and backwards or from one side to another, which makes them versatile. The production quality reflects that there were filmed in the early 80's. This DVD was originally released as four VHS tapes and then four DVDs. Now, all four volumes are available on a single DVD.

The single DVD includes the following four volumes:
Volume 1: Basic Steps
Volume 2: Hipwork
Volume 3: Taqsim
Volume 4: Folkloric Steps
