The Capoeira instructors are so patient and talented. My kids just love it and don't want to miss a class or public performance. I invite everyone to come and learn about this martial art. The families that come are so friendly and inviting and made me feel welcomed immediately.

Darlina Marie is a good instructor of Tribal Belly Dance. However, Tribal Belly Dance is not really belly dance at all. It is a fusion sort of dance with elements of belly dance mixed in. The main focus in this class every week, without fail, is zills. It is annoying. Think of it from the perspective of the audience. Are zills actually entertaining? No. Regardless of the song that is playing, there is a specific zill rhythm that will cover it up with that obnoxious and redundant *clack clack clack* sound. It adds nothing but takes away everything. Also, this style of so-called belly dance is all about group choreography. Forget about those sexy, womanly dance moves you have seen in belly dance videos on YouTube. None of that exists in this class. Never. It is incredibly disappointing.
But one thing that is frustrating is the fact that I know Darlina Marie is capable of performing actual, authentic belly dance. She does it when she performs alone. She does not use those ridiculous zills or predictable choreography when she dances alone. If only Darlina Marie could teach this Tribal Belly Dance class once per week for those who prefer this style and also an authentic belly dance class once per week. She is talented and equally skilled in both styles. Please consider this, Darlina Marie.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tribal belly dance class. I was invited into the intermediate class after May. But because I simply missed 6 classes, the teacher demoted me back to the beginner class. All of the other students in intermediate class missed more classes than I ever did, so I was shocked to learn that I wouldn't be invited back into intermediate class. I had spent a lot of time and money there. I was a loyal student and customer. I will not be going back. The whole experience was just negative.
Edit: Owner, you are making a lot of assumptions in your response to my review.
If I did not attend the majority of the classes? lol What are you even talking about? I was a student from November - July. I missed six classes. I definitely had the opportunity to witness other students miss many classes but still be welcomed back and promoted. Do not try to pretend like I don't know what I'm talking about. I was thoroughly involved in that class for a long time.
I did contact the instructor. So at this point I guess you're just throwing comments out into the internet and hoping they stick? You clearly are just lashing out at me with no knowledge behind your words. I spent a lot of time and money in that class, though. I have the right to warn potential students that all of their time and money could be wasted in the end.
I do know for a fact that the teacher had also promised to allow other students into her intermediate class but when the time came for that to happen, they were rejected after a surprise audition. Meanwhile, the teacher's friends (who host events where the teacher performs) are welcomed into her intermediate class. Those friends almost never attend class.

Good Capoeira. This Martial art will shut down all the others and such a rich history! The instructors were friendly. I was able to leave me child and grab a quick coffee and all my kid talked about for the rest of the day was "went we going back to the Brazil class, dad?!" Cool Spot.

They offer high-quality classes at very reasonable rates, much better than being a gym rat! Some of these classes you can't find anywhere else in the city, which makes it even better!
