What students are saying about Chudney...

"It's clear you put a lot of time into preparing each class, I feel like my musicality is improving, and I appreciate your availability for feedback."

-Maria from Virginia

"Chudney Raks is a very supportive as a teacher. She travels to Egypt, Lebanon, Greece, and other areas of the world and continues to update and refine her dance knowledge. This makes her a valuable instructor when it comes to Egyptian Style bellydance. Her classes are fun! She never hesitates to answer my questions in detail and is very thorough. I'm always impressed with the time and energy she dedicates to this dance form. Her fun, creative choreography is exciting to learn. There is never a dull moment in her classes. I highly recommend Chudney to anyone seeking to learn authentic Egyptian style"
