Hi Jamra,
The teachers that I know in Chico don't have websites, so I can't list them - it's a directory of dancers and teachers with websites.
Vanessa is a great teacher (formerly danced with FatChanceBellyDance), heads up Dancers of the Moon, and she advertises by "word of mouth." If you happen to catch a Bone Gruel gig, she (or one of her girls) is the featured dancer. Saahira, one of my former teachers, lists her classes in the Chico News and Review, in the calendar section, and I believe she's still using Al Kemi as the name of her troupe. Carolee is in Oroville, and she heads up Shalimar Dance Company, and produces the North Valley Belly Dance Competition (http://www.homestead.com/bellydancecomp/welcome.html). Chandonni, a former member of Sacred Circle, is taking a leave of absence from teaching due to her mother's illness.
During Farmer's Market in the summer, you will usually see dancers performing. Your best bet is to go to Sultan's Bistro on Friday nights (corner of 3rd and Broadway), for the bellydance shows - there's a different dancer every time, and you'll see a variety of styles. Just ask them who their teacher is after their show.
I officially dissolved Sacred Circle when I left Chico, but I still dance with my girls when I go up there to visit! 
Best of Luck!
