BodyWorks By Chandani -- Kids Belly Dance Classes

"Since my daughters have started Belly Dance lessons, their self confidence has improved, along with balance and coordination. They are having a great time and look forward to their lesson each week. Along with their knowledge of dance, they are learning about another culture. This has helped them learn about some of the places their father has been with the Navy. Overall this has been a very fun, positive experience. I would definitely recommend this to other parents."

Meet Erika

I'm Erika, mother of 4 and Navy wife. I'm originally from North Carolina, and have lived in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area for a little over 3 yrs. I've always been amazed by the moves and music of belly dancing and finally took the plunge when I found Bodyworks by Chandani. After many months of lessons, I joined Little Sisters of Chandani student dance troupe. In May of 2007, Zahirah was born, my stage name. I started teaching children's class in April 2007. My 2 daughters dance with me and it's a great mother/daughter bonding experience. I love sharing my love of this dance with others and I hope to grow more and more as a belly dancer and an instructor.

Class instructors are trained and supervised by BodyWorks By Chandani belly dance, have received back ground checks and are CPR certified.
Parents are welcome to stay and participate with their kids during class.
Class size is limited to 6 kids and is on a "first come, first serve" basis.
