About Me
Dolphina is a mademoiselle with a mission. She started her company, GoddessLife , to make a difference one Goddess at a time.Today, Dolphina is a best-selling fitness video series creator, author, highly sought after seminar instructor and successful businesswoman.She was born in San Francisco and began bellydancing at the very young age of four. When the family moved to Morocco, the course of Dolphina's entire life was set in motion. There, Dolphina was so riveted by a bellydancer's performance that the young girl's lifelong connection to the ancient, exotic dance was cemented.Drawn by her love of dance, Dolphina moved to New York City to study at the prestigious American Academy of Dance and Drama. She eventually left the city on a spiritual quest that brought her to many parts of the world. In the West Indies, she was involved in a near fatal boating accident, where she was rescued by dolphins that guided her to safety. It was a life-changing event that guided her to her true purpose in life.Soon after, Dolphina returned to her California roots, where she created The Goddess Workout and began teaching the benefits of Bellydance. "Bellydancing is suddenly the hottest workout and much of the credit goes to a bellydancer named Dolphina, who a year ago released a video called The Goddess Workout (fans include Salma Hayek, Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra) and began teaching packed classes at CRUNCH Gyms last year," said US Magazine in February 2000. Life as she knew it changed completely when one of her students at Crunch wrote about her class into an episode of a little show called, "Sex in the City".Women gave an overwhelming response to Dolphina and The Goddess Workout, proclaiming its intoxicating appeal was more than just bellydance, but a lifestyle. So, in early 2001, Dolphina founded her company, GoddessLife , on the belief that every woman is a goddess . Her GoddessLife philosophy serves as the inspiration to all her videos, CDs , apparel , books, and seminars and retreats .In 2002, Dolphina opened The Goddess Center , a private sanctuary in Los Angeles that offers fun classes, one-of-kind workshops, empowering events, luminous parties and a community for fabulous women. She continues to grow her network of goddesses worldwide by offering classes at Destination Spas and Club Med as well as conducting master classes (teaching other teachers) and Goddess Workout Training sessions. In addition, she has been a presenter at the fitness industry's crème de la crème - such as ECA, IDEA and Festival del Fitness in Italy.Dolphina's greatest joy comes from empowering girls and women with self confidence through dance and a host of other activities, and makes it a priority to work closely with such inspiring organizations as Step-Up Women's Network and Women for Women . Her love dolphins, rhinestones and the color pink is trumped only by her desire to embrace all of life's experiences and make a difference in the world one goddess at a time.The Goddess Workout - Intro To Bellydance -Chest & Shoulders
