Marine-I have been taking classes with Mike for about 6 months and I have to share with the world that HIS ballet class has not only shaped my body into one hot bod but also has made me calmer and more relaxed in my everyday life! I now have better posture (naturally through taking class) and I find that when I'm in his class I am so relaxed and feel like I'm in another world! Between his cool/chill music and his always changing combinations I feel challenged and motivated every class! I get compliments all the time on my legs etc...and it's only because his ballet class works my body in such a great way...even my friends have started taking and they had no tempo/dance skills...today a couple months in, they're obsessed with the class and actually feel more confident in there dance skills! Mike's class is perfect for those who want/need to:
strengthen and tone there bodies (especially legs and stomach area)
relax while working out
explore a classic form of dance
be more graceful
work on self-discipline
Janice-There are teachers, and then there are teachers who transcend the norm to become mentors. If you've dreamed of dancing, but think you lack the skill; if you used to dance, but think you've forgotten how; if you want to have fun and defy gravity; but also work your butt off, then this is the class and Mike is the teacher for you.
Katie-Your Tuesday class is great - the atmosphere is very welcoming and relaxed and that's something to appreciate in this town! Plus, you're a fantastic teacher.
Anna-I got your myspace message just the other day and I wanted to reply. I soooo wish I could make ballet on the regular but my schedule has been a little nuts. I miss it very much. Im gonna try to come this saturday.
Laura-Thank you so much for your class, it has been so great to get back to ballet after my 9 year hiatus!! Also, thanks again for the info about private lessons, i hope to be able to do that later this year, LOVE the class!!!
Rachel- As a professional dancer it was nice to finally find a teacher in Los Angeles who understand the technique used at the highest level.
