Adult students studying Middle Eastern Dance are offered performance opportunities by inclusion in Daughters of the Nile. Troupe members perform at local civic functions and cultural festivals.

Within Chandani’s classes, the student not only learns technique but learns to reach within her soul to express herself through the language of the dance. Chandani believes that everyone can express herself (or himself) through the art of Middle Eastern Dance. The key is to learn to get in touch with the spirit within and get past the inhibitions we may have learned.
