The L.A.-based On Ensemble (pronounced "ohn") combines the musical and dance talents of its four members into unique and provocative performances. With musical experience ranging from centuries-old Kabuki music to jazz, rock and electronica, the On Ensemble has crafted a repertoire of ground-breaking taiko music. Current works feature these drums in conjunction with turntable, western drum kit, bamboo flute, koto (Japanese zither), and Tuvan overtone singing. That's right. Turntable. Throat singing. Taiko drumming. AND they are eye candy. If you ever catch them perform, you'll be amazed.

I've been taking his class at Athletic Garage for over 3 years and I have come out of every single one of his classes Joey feeling like I just had the greatest experience of my life: not ONCE have I not had a phenomenal experience (ok, once, 2 years ago in spring when he opened the garage door & my severe allergy to california oak took over and I had to leave, but that wasn't his fault!). I'll be honest and tell you I had to work up the nerve to take his class: he's this huge, muscular man but he MOVES like he's made of air: he's just an amazing dancer and I'm easily intimidated... but his class is a consistent, weekly reminder that there ARE beautiful moments in life, and the body was NOT made to just drive to work, sit in front of a computer, and atrophy at a slow and steady pace: your body is made for expression and creating beauty with every movement! he has this intuition where he can read what his students are dealing with: there have been so many times that he has yelled out in class "let it GO, work it OUT" and there I was dancing but thinking about some tough stuff I was dealing with: he's good like that. One class I was especially bashful and dancing behind everyone and he encouraged me not with rah rah "you can do it" forest gump crap, but by putting me in a group of veterans and said "this is where you need to be," and I rose to the occasion. I haven't forgotten that, and I haven't missed a class with him since. Not to say that I'm really that good at his class, but I'm enjoying every single minute. The only con for his class that it's only once a week, and it's only an hour...wish there were more of his classes. :)

He was the by far the most consistently excellent aspect of that gym. One day I realized that I had been attending his class for a year. Within that year, Joey had taught me to be more physically expressive and how to better learn and retain choreography. I enjoy freestyle dancing so much more because of the moves we practiced in his class. His style is fun and original. He is very patient with newcomers, but he expects his veteran students to display the skills he has taught them. I have found his classes to be as challenging as kickboxing and spinning. You will have an amazing workout! You'll be loaded with energy. And you'll be tripping on all those endorphins!

You come in and the positive energy you get from her and the students is so heart warming. There is no judgement on anyone and you feel so comfortable to be yourself. You walk out of there feeling Confident and secure about yourself plus you get an fun workout out of it too. You learn to walk and dance in heels while the class cheers you on and you learn some burlesque moves while listening to burlesque style music. There is never a dull moment in class and after awhile you start feeling like you've made a family with the students and Miss Marquez. It's like coming home every Sunday to be with some of the sweetest people ever. You will definitely not regret coming to this class.

I took a chance, signed up, and I'm so glad I did! I had so much fun, I signed up for the next session before the first had even ended. Eventually I switched to her Tuesday night class because it's year round and there's no gap between sessions. Even then, I found myself looking forward to Tuesdays so much, I rejoined Monday nights as well. Both classes are full of all ages and ability levels. Leela starts off slow teaching the techniques and moves, gradually working up to speed and putting it to music. By the end of class, everyone is doing the choreography. Leela makes class so much fun. We dress up and take pictures to celebrate holidays. Be sure to let them know when your birthday is because we love celebrating birthdays each month. Everyone has been so welcoming. I've made so many amazing friends through Leela's Bellydance that I probably would never have come across in my normal day to day routine. Whether you're looking to learn a new skill, or just something fun to do to unwind once a week, I highly recommend checking out Leela Bellydance!

She breaks down the dance and teaches it in segments. She adjusts as necessary and then we video her doing the dance so when we are not together, we remember what the moves are.
