Attended this dance school when I was a child. Class consisted of stretching and sitting in front…read moreof a chalk/white board and taking a wild amount of written notes. I took jazz and ballet. I was not taught more than 1st and 2nd position and dances were taught by a voice over recording a couple weeks before the recital. Not original dances or interesting choreography. It was not a fun experience...eventually there was another dance instructor that took over whatever classes I was in besides Miss Janice but by then I had lost interest due to the lack of attention given to me when I really wanted to be a dancer. When you're 8-10 years old taking more notes than in actual school, it did not make sense to me.

The Body Art Barn is a beautiful space built by the loving and hard working spirit of Michelle…read moreDawson. Founder, mother, divine warrior, and artist designed this barn to be a sanctuary for those looking to enter a space to let go of tension and get to know themselves through the science and art of yoga. Michelle is by far of the most impactful teachers that I have ever had the honor of learning from. Shes a waterfall of pure esctatic enthusiasm and charisma. She expresses herself fully and will have you laughing and giggling the entire class. She inspire you by her example of strength and flexibility. She will push you to your limits yet also find spaces for surrender and softness. Her bootcamp is also a very special experience. Where she guides you through a sacred time in the early mornings to build your core, dance, be silly, and release any tension that may still be stored in our bodies. I love the art of this space. I love the community and powerful individuals that i have had the honor of practicing yoga within this community. All of the other teachers I experienced in this beautiful barn were professional, welcoming, and unique. If you are ever in need of some guidance and connection to powerful individuals, feel free to stop by this sacred place of yoga.

We stood in front of her tent for over 20 minutes with zero acknowledgment ( while she was working on another girl but holding conversations with other adults). I was ready to leave my daughter begged to stay. I took a picture of her Venmo and left my daughter there with a friend while I occupied my son. My daughter said she when it was her turn she was rude, didn't talk to her and when she asked the price she said "what do you want to pay? How much do you have?" She's 13. Absolutely inappropriate. For someone who's supposed to be so "zen" , she's not.
