This place is glorious!!!
Where to begin...
The studio: it's beautiful, it's tropical, it's clean, it's peaceful and well-equipped!
The instructors: I've taken 3 classes so far with Myriam, the owner, including Intro to Hula, Belly Dance & Tahitian and they've all been great! She is amazing! She takes time to practice the different moves and teaches you ways to loosen the right muscles to ... well... dance accurately! & gracefully! She is also genuinely friendly and when I couldn't come to class because of surgery she offered to help if I needed anything! She is a professional and has been involved in many styles of dance since I think age 4. She is now "21" ;) On the note of 21, she looks 21 and leads a really healthy live style, which she teaches without forcing it down anyone's throats. Proof: I still eat tonnes of unhealthy food :) She also owns her own Organic Skin care line which smells delicious!
Side-note: Took a friend to a Yoga, Massage & Wine night here at the beginning of the summer, and we both absolutely loved it.
The cost: Really good, considering literally every class I have ever signed up for in the valley!
Performances: It is not mandatory if you take the class, but you should check out any of her group dances at the Aloha fest every Spring in Tempe to see the results of taking the class!
In summary, check it out, you won't regret it! I recommend coming on the 1st day of an intro class so you can learn a full routine.
