DVDs - one year anniversary :) FREE SHIPPING till August 15th, 2012!

On June 30th - a little over one year ago - I officially got the first master tapes for my first instructional belly dance DVDs 'Shimmies with Khalida' and 'Isis Wings with Khalida' in hand :) And as you can see in this Blog post, it's hard to believe how fast time has flown by. Oh my, what a year it has been!

Rehearsing my lines for the shimmy drills, while the Director and Producer check the first scenes.

And.. on August 15th 2012 we officially started distributing the DVDs via our web shop at www.khalidashop.com, which calls for a small celebration :)

Instructional DVD set - Isis Wings technique/combos and Shimmy Fever with Khalida!

To celebrate this one-year anniversary of one of the most exciting projects I've ever survived I will be offering FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING on both DVDs until August 15th, 2012

Fresh DVDs waiting to come to a city near YOU :)
So.. If you are looking for ways to stay shakin' this summer :) and/or if you would like to gift a dance friend with a set of fun training DVDs, go get your shop on here right now! Shop shop shop!
