About Chaaya
Chaaya was born in a small island in the indian ocean, La Reunion. Music and dance has always been a part of her life.
Later, she discovered arabic rythms but it took her a long time to face her fear of opening the door of a dance studio. It was fisteen years ago and since then, bellydance became a passion. In addition to her regular classes, Chaaya studied with a lot of famous egyptian dancers like Khaled and Gamal Seif, Assan Affifi or Aladin El Kholy...
With Assia Guemra, she found her own style, bellydance fusion, and followed her professional training for 2 years.
Chaaya keeps studying new styles but doesn't forget the origins. She travelled to Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco to feel the energy of those people .She was recently certified level 1&2 Journey through Egypt with Sahra Saeeda.
She fell later in love with indian music and decided to add bollywood to her répertoire... before discovering that she had true indian origins. In life, nothing is due at random, if you feel like bellydancing but you're too hesitating or shy to do the first step, think about her and open this door...
