Yenis is enthusiastic and energetic, you can really tell that she cares about Zumba and loves to dance. I've been to about 10 classes so far (she offers a 10 class card for $50 plus one class free). What I like so much about the classes is that she brings in new music and dance moves but also plays some of the same songs during each session so you're able to get the hang of the dance moves. The studio is very new and clean! Nice floors and lots of mirrors! The free water and tea is a nice touch too.

I took classes here this past summer. I've done Zumba before, but I had never gone to a place that…read morepretty much did Zumba exclusively. Like many reviewers state, Yenis is an awesome instructor. I love her routines. For the most part, every month, there is a different routine. Therefore, you have a sense of what to expect and work on. Once the month ends, you move on to a new routine and series of songs. Within the routines she does some muscle work, which is also nice. The 6pm(ish) courses are really packed. If you don't like crowds, I say go to the 7pm(ish) courses. They're nowhere near as crowded. Yenis definitely has a following, which is nice. She's super friendly and has great energy. However, I'd like to mention one of the other instructors. Over the summer, I REALLY loved going to Mimi's classes. She has a ton of energy and I also loved her routines. She would incorporate some kickboxing/punching moves, along with some good muscle work (burpees, push-ups). However, she would do this in a fun, manageable way. It always made me sad that more people didn't take her classes. I always looked forward to them:) Both Yenis and Mimi incorporate great music and teach using the mic, which makes following along a lot easier. My only complaint was that there wasn't a short-term contract available when I signed up. I was only around for two months, but I either had to pay for a three-month membership or pay $12 per class.

I attended ballet classes for 15 years under the instruction of Maria Spremich. This is NOT your…read moreaverage City-run recreation dance class. Formerly a professional dancer with the Lines Ballet Company and instructor for the San Francisco Conservatory Ballet, Maria has created a comprehensive training program that not only develops dance skills, but also impacts individuals' lives. A lot of kids sign up for only 1 or 2 sessions, but many of the young people end up attending for most of their walking life (my term for starting dance classes as soon as one is able to walk). This is due to the community that has been created. The program consists of a weekly class schedule, as well as two opportunities per year to perform at the beautiful El Camino High School Theater. I have many fond memories of preparing for shows by getting into our beautiful costumes, doing our hair and makeup (the one time we got to wear makeup and be like the big kids!), and waiting with great anticipation to go out and give the audience a show! After recently observing the shows from the other side, I can say that I am impressed by the level of the kids' professionalism throughout the entire show. Besides ballet skills, Maria teaches discipline, passion, and expression: DISCIPLINE: ----------------- The way the classes are structured, beginner students start with a weekly ballet class to learn the basics and become more familiar with warmups, technique, and combinations (short sets of choreography designed to improve technique). Intermediate students need to attend 1-2 times per week, and once they move up to the advanced level, must attend 3 classes a week. Two of those classes are spent building technique and strengthening the muscles, while the 3rd class is reserved for pointe work. I strongly believe that having such a rigorous schedule increased my time management skills, as I learned to manage homework and other activities around my ballet schedule. Also, Maria was patient yet held high expectations of all her students, which motivated us to be more committed to our study of ballet. PASSION: -------------- I definitely acquired my passion for dance (and performing in general) by learning from Maria. It is apparent from the way she dances and teaches that she loves what she does, and is therefore very effective in sharing that love with her students. To this day I can't live without some dance in my life. I learned to enjoy teaching kids based on how Maria taught us. Not only am I a stage performer in Broadway musicals, but I also choreograph/direct children's musicals. I attribute my skills as an effective choreographer to my strong foundation in ballet as well as to having such a wonderful and patient teacher. EXPRESSION: -------------------- I was an awkward kid and even more awkward teenager. And I mean REALLY awkward! Ballet classes enabled me to get past myself and be more comfortable with who I am. Dance is a wonderful outlet for anyone, but a structured class where I had a safe community to express myself was critical to my development as a person. TIP: This is a hidden bonus gem within the City of SSF. The classes are very reasonably priced, as this is a City program, and you will be so pleased with the value you get out of these classes. Sign up your kid (or yourself -- they have adult classes) today! TIP2: Ballet -- and dance in general -- is FANTASTIC for your physique! But ballet in particular builds a lot of muscle, in all the right places. :)

When I first started seeing…read moreAna I had a lot of pain from old dance injuries which were made worse by sitting at a desk and driving in traffic everyday. We worked together once a week first building strength and "fixing" my ailments and then eventually working on maintaining great habits and my core strength. What Ana provides that I have not been able to find elsewhere is a keen understanding of the body combined with a natural instinct about how work, life, and personal habits effect one's overall well being. She not only focused on the physical therapy side of my ailments but also worked with my on sleep patterns, how I sit at my desk, what foods I am eating, etc. opening my eyes to the realization that I had to make changes in my life as well as continue to do my exercises and "homework." Ana also always took notes on what was happening with my body and would come up with customized exercises based on what was needed that day or based on what issues I was experiencing. Nothing is cookie cutter with Ana because none of her patients have the same issues and needs. Ana and I also worked together on several pole performance workshops. Not only is she an amazing pilates instructor but a gifted dancer and performer. I learned so much from her and am thankful for the performance opportunities I had working with her. And Ana is the most positive, reassuring, supportive, and encouraging person. She always finds a way to spin a negative into a positive but is tough if needed to make sure that you are taken care of. I wish I had an Ana where I am now but I am also thankful for all her help over the years and for helping me live better and want to take care of my personal well being!
