Author, Daleela Morad, is a Sacramento Elly award winning belly dancer who has trained and belly danced in mystical Egypt. In the spirit of the Divine Feminine she wishes to spread the beauty and power of women and to create a sisterhood lacking in our culture. Daleela is a University of California Regent Scholar who fuses her Masters Degree in Psychology with 17 years of experience in Middle Eastern dance. Daleela also has a Minor degree in Music, with a performance emphasis, from the University of California, Davis. She makes regular trips to mystical Egypt to study with renowned masters of folkloric and modern Egyptian dances.

Daleela has won numerous awards for her excellent performances and choreography, including the prestigious Sacramento Elly Award for her lead role as the gypsy dancer Esmeralda in Garbeau's Family Theatre's production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. She also danced award-winning performances in Magana Baptiste's Ms. America of the Belly Dance contest in San Francisco, 1995 and 1996. Daleela was the featured belly dancer in the Indian film, Daulat, and produced three different educational dance programs for The Sacramento Channel.

The Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission has certified Daleela Morad to teach three different educational dance workshops/performances to K-12 schools and adult community organizations; she is listed in their Arts Education Resource Directory. Daleela strives to perpetuate the rich culture of the Egyptian people through dance performances at schools, cultural and community events. Her mission is to educate both children and adults about Egyptian culture, and the Egyptian dances that have been passed down from mother to daughter for hundreds of generations.

Daleela's recently released how-to, self-help book, Belly Dance Wisdom, has been featured on KCRA Channel 3's Common Ground, The Sacramento Bee, Sacramento Magazine, The Davis Aggie and was featured in several acclaimed dance magazines. A trained professional in both belly dance and Psychology (Masters in Psychology), Daleela shares her empowering dance story and how to connect to a powerful feminine wisdom and a female spirituality sorely lacking in our culture.
