We're grateful to our fans for their recommendations for classes and performances!

"BalaChandra Bellydance is one of a kind, I saw these delightful and talented ladies perform at multiple events with glistening costumes. After their first performance, I wanted to learn the trade and be a part of the magic. After a few events I worked up the courage to take a fitness and dance class lead by Laura. She is mindful and works with all body types and ages. It was empowering to be in a room full of women working on themselves with a body positive approach and while learning new dance moves. You get the best of both worlds seeing BalaChandra Bellydance perform at shows and festivals locally, and you can also take their dance and fitness classes."

"I have been taking bellydance classes from Laura for almost 4 years and her showgirl slimdown classes for about 1 1/2 years. I love her style of teaching and her attention to technique. Laura makes each class fun and enjoyable. Laura also encouraged our showgirl class to perform for her professional dance group, and she worked hard to create choreography for each number. I would totally recommend taking one of Laura’s classes!"

"If you haven't been to Laura's classes, you are missing out. Both the Bellydance and Showgirl Slimdown classes are fun and her patience is amazing, especially with the choreography we do for our performances at various venues. Talk about outside my comfort zone! Her constant praise and encouragement in our performances has helped my confidence no end and I know the other girls in the class feel the same! Well done Laura!"

"As a fellow group exercise instructor and dancer, I consider myself to be pretty tough critic, and Laura is a really great instructor. She does a great job of explaining movements with attention to details that really make a performance stand out. Her choreography is challenging but attainable for anyone. She is extremely professional and you can feel her confidence and knowledge as she maintains focus on the fitness and form elements of her classes. Her classes are not intimidating and her students are welcoming and fun to be with."

"I have never taken any type of dance class. Laura's bellydance is so much fun! I forget about everything and learn to how to move my hips while my top is still!! I also take Laura's Showgirl Slimdown class. I feel sexier and more confident. I can't thank Laura enough for her dedication."

"Laura Barsalou is a wonderful and amazing dancer, instructor, and person. I love her classes! She has a unique way of explaining the moves and reinforcing technique that is easy for all students of different levels to understand.
I will forever be grateful to her for re-introducing dance in my life. I admire her passion for teaching and dancing. She is inspiring! I recommend her classes to anyone who wants to try bellydance, improve their current skills, or who just wants to have a good time dancing in a supportive environment."
