Testimonials

"Coming to Chandara's class is one of the highlights of my week, every week! Being a busy mother of two makes it hard to find the time to do something for myself. Bellydancing is one of the only things that I do exclusively for me. I never thought I could possibly learn to do it, but I can see myself progressing from class to class." ~Sonya Y. - Columbus, OH

"Chandara's breakdown of moves couldn't leave even the most uncoordinated student behind. As a personal trainer with a basis in physical therapy, I thought that the care she gave to joints and generally being gentle to preserve the body was tremendous. I enjoyed her class so much that I recruited her to teach at my gym! It has worked out wonderfully!"
~Blair H., Certified Personal Trainer - Columbus, OH.

"Chandara is not only gifted and talented, she makes her classes fun! I truly appreciate her in-depth knowledge of the art and history of Bellydance, and her dedication to her students. Chandara encouraged me to dance again after I had given it up for many years due to health problems, and for that I am eternally grateful to her." ~Kristen T. - Columbus, OH

"Chandara has had a huge impact on my life. After dealing with severe arthritis for a huge part of my life and thinking that I would never dance again, Chandara helped me rediscover a part of myself that I thought would never again exist."
~America S. - Columbus, OH

"I have known Chandara for over a decade. She makes her classes fun with her unique teaching style and her energy. Not only does Chandara teach the dances, but also the history of the dances, where they come from and what they mean. I am proud to call Chandara friend and mentor." ~Kelly M. - St. Louis, MO

"Like all great teachers, Ms. Chandara Gamal meets her students where they are in their lives, in their illnesses, in their body types, and she teaches them that they each have the power to express themselves through this art. After many years of looking, my wife has found her way back to an essential part of herself through belly dance and that is worth celebrating."
~ Graham C. - Columbus, OH

"Chandara is the best instructor I've met and everyone else gets measured by the standard she set. I've tried a couple of classes in NYC and they just don't explain it as clearly as Chandara." ~ Natalia C. - New York City, NY
