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. :)

Melissa's yoga class has transformed my life and how I see yoga. I'm able to do side plank now which would be mission impossible to me 3 months ago. Melissa is a gentle yoga instructor and gives clear and detailed instruction. She points out small details like "soft knee" or "feet facing the corner of yoga mat" during the yoga moves so it's very easy to follow. Melissa also changes up her yoga routine so I would never get bored even if I come three times a week. I've learned three different breathing techniques since then. At today's class, Melissa is very patient when she answered my questions on how to perfect my sun salutation moves. After her pointers, I was able to move seamlessly from underdog to jumping forward to the front of the mat.

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.

They've also added a water station for refilling water bottles. They no longer have a food stand, but they do have vending machines for snacks and drinks so that works pretty well. Also an improvement is the adult swim lane. previously there was only adult swim 15 minutes every two hours so that was difficult! Now there is always one lane which I really appreciate! Lifeguards are great, and i'm glad that they tell kids not to run. Kiddie pool was not functional this year due to a leak, and because it needs to be overhauled/rebuilt, it's unclear if it'll be available next year. I think most members love having this pool to go to during the season.

The boardwalk is long it was perfect for what I needed. I will say however, I decided to stop at one of the public restrooms along the way and the women's bathroom stalls had no doors. I kid you not, zero, door, just open to the world. The womens entrance had no door either. I felt like I was peeing in public. Did not like that!

For an impressive waterfall it's pretty mid. But the area around has some trails with nice views of…read morethe ocean and beyond. Yelpers have mentioned the trail to the waterfall starts where Westline Dr. and Skyline Dr. meet. From here it's fairly intuitive on where to go. I felt the trail down to the falls seemed too steep to attempt so I opted out. I'm not sure if it was better a few years ago but when I went it felt dangerous and easy to lose footing. I wouldn't recommend this part for someone hiking alone, with kids, or with inexperienced hikers. The trail continues in the other direction along Westline Avenue with views of the ocean. If you continue you can see the top of the waterfall from here. You have to walk a little off the main trail in the ice plant but it's worth it if you want to see the falls. Another way is you can see this waterfall is by walking from Esplanade Beach. From the top of the stairs there the waterfall is about .6 miles. It's so much easier to get to this way and it's a nice beach walk. From here you can't see the waterfall as clear because there is a lot of debris in the way. In this sense it's almost a better view from above. The waterfall comes out of a storm drain which isn't as nice and only flows after a big rain. I wouldn't come out of my way to see this waterfall. But I think it's worth coming to see if you are already at Esplanade Beach or live in the neighborhood and are walking the trail alongside Westline Dr. From the start point to the beach and back it's about a 3.4 mile hike.

He was professional, kind, and so easy to be around, which made me completely trust him before we even started planning our own wedding. From the beginning, he was easy to communicate with and made the entire process stress-free. On our wedding day, he blended in so naturally that we hardly noticed the cameras, yet he somehow captured every meaningful moment. He worked seamlessly with our photographer, and everything felt effortless. The day after our wedding, he sent us a teaser reel, and we were absolutely blown away. It perfectly captured the emotion, energy, and joy of the day. We've already watched it countless times and can't wait to see the full film. If you're debating whether to hire a videographer, do it--and hire EJ. Photos help you remember your wedding day, but video lets you hear the laughter, relive the vows, and feel those moments all over again. We are so grateful we'll have these memories for the rest of our lives.

EJ and Thomas made sure to capture the entire day and to get key elements that were most important to us. We truly enjoyed spending time with them! They made us feel comfortable and were great at directing us as well as being able to hide in the background when needed. Both of them showed us throughout the process that they cared and wanted to make us happy. When we received the highlight video, we were blown away! My husband was apprehensive about hiring a videographer but I convinced him to do it as I really wanted to have those memories. After watching the highlight video, he was so happy we hired Reel Motions. They picked one of the songs we liked and it flowed perfectly with the video. They captured everything we wanted and more! I've watched it so many times and each time I love it more. Everyone we've shown it to is amazed at how beautiful it came out and how professional it looks. The video quality is top notch as well as the editing. I'm grateful for them taking the time to make this special for us. They even scheduled a call with us while they were working on it to confirm a few details. Later on we received the footage from the day which included another four videos (getting ready, wedding ceremony, speeches, and friends and family). Not only did they put two of the videos to music but they also made them into edited videos that are fun to watch. They captured moments that I didn't even remember and/or didn't notice that they were recording. The ceremony music sounded great and the mics they put on my husband and our officiant blended in pretty well and captured the voices well. We 100% recommend Reel Motions to anyone who wants a videographer to capture special memories. We would use them again in a heartbeat! On top of all this, their prices are more than fair and I can't imagine anyone being dissatisfied with them! EJ and Thomas are top notch all around!

Thanks to COVID, I hadn't seen them in 1.5 years, and now they were finally able to come see me and my new babies! I'm a researcher. Like, seriously, that is part of my paid job. So, you know I did my search for local photographers to compare the quality of their photos, their rates, and their timeline for processing pictures. After much comparing and debating with myself and my husband about our financial commitment, I reached out to Darius because his prices and photos seemed too good to be true. As a person of color, it was also crucial for me to know that I'd have a photographer who knows how to take photos of mixed race families. I feel the same way about makeup artists, stylists, and folks who have to understand how lighting, texture, and all that stuff can look different for people of color rather than default white models. Finally, I wanted to support black-owned businesses in the Bay Area and let me tell you, I hit the jackpot. Darius is and met all of my criteria and more. He scoped out our location before we met and showed me photos of backdrops and angles. He arrived early. He brought jingly toys to catch my kids' attention for photos, and he had on knee pads and all sorts of accessories to be in difficult positions to take photos at different angles. He was never impatient, annoyed, and I actually don't think he ever even checked the time. He was just 100% present. Our family of 7 included 2 babies, 2 grandparents, a dog, myself and my husband, and my brother. He caught it all and the photos came back earlier than he promised and he blew it out of the water! In fact, he sent me some photos much earlier when I asked for a sneak peek to be able to use them as cards to send for a birthday party. No extra charge, no questions asked, in fact, he went above and beyond and sent me extras. I've already started referring to Darius as our family photographer and will need him again and again... when my in-laws come to visit, when it's time for holiday photos, birthday photos, and maybe even for parties and get-togethers. He is the REAL DEAL and I'm hesitant to even post this because now he'll be so busy that I won't be able to book him for ALL the family events I'm envisioning!
