Dalylah has been Mr. Reda’s teaching assistant when he teaches in Madrid, because she has mastered his style knows his old choreographies. She has also mastered the Farida Fahmy elegant and classical style that made her famous in the Reda troupe musical movies in Egypt.

In addition to teaching regularly at Escuela Colorado and Al Andalus School (Madrid), Dalylah’ s artistic career involved teaching at several prestigious international events.

Dancing has been Dalylah Al-Qamar’s passion since birth. As a child, she learned ballet, Flamenco and natural dancing techniques, until she finally met the love of her life: Oriental Dance. Her university degree in Arabic Philology opened the door for her to the amazing Arabic culture, and its purest form of art: Bellydance. Dalylah’s unique style uses an accurate and diversified technique only to serve her best quality: expression. From a classical delight to provocative innovations, Dalylah Al-Qamar dares with a wide range of different artistic ways of expression.
