Based in Denver, Colorado, Chaya has many years of performance and teaching experience, and enjoys sharing the art of dance with others.  Not only does bellydance work the body and circulate energy, it also lifts the spirit and helps us celebrate and love our bodies, regardless of age, shape or size.

See what her students have to say...

“Chaya was my first instructor.  I have her to thank for the positive experience that has led me to become the dancer I am today.  Her encouragement, friendship, enthusiasm for the dance, and her faith in me have been invaluable.”  --Carolyn F. (Zaina), Denver, CO

 "As an instructor, Chaya/Chris is patient and complimentary in her teaching, no matter the level of skill one has.  She provides challenging movements and continuous encouragement.  She promotes an atmosphere of camaraderie between herself and her students thus making the classes so much more enjoyable and easy to participate in.  Chaya promotes personal growth in both skill and confidence in her students.  Having been a student of Chaya's for almost two years, it is not just a class anymore, it has evolved into a coming together of friends to have fun, laugh and learn the art and movements of belly dancing."  --Karen W., Denver, CO

 “Chaya is a dedicated, patient teacher (ideal for beginners) and is a master of the most difficult moves. She gives her all to her students and shows undeniable love of the dance which she executes so beautifully.”--April B., Denver, CO

“She kept me dancing when others couldn't, she told me I could do it, when others wouldn't. I grew to love Chaya as a teacher and as a friend. She gave me so much pride in teaching me techniques and accomplishments I never thought I would be able to complete. She gave me the freedom to learn and she smiled proudly, enjoying her each student's growth. Her classes kept me sane, opened a whole new world and they were one of the highlights of my life.” --Wanda M., Thornton, CO

"Great instructor.  Excellent motivation and choreography skills."—Jolene M., Denver, CO
