Student testimonials

“The way she teaches turns with the body exercises beforehand and the detailed breakdown of the mechanisms has been a epiphany for me”

“These classes are a real treat, clearly delivered and self-contained so you don't need to worry about falling behind. Well-pitched to the aptitude of the class, and personal feedback is always positive and constructive. ”

“Magdalena’s classes are well-structured and prepared, she pays individual attention to her students (including in the online setting) and gives perceptive and practical feedback. Her explanations are delivered in a way that makes it really easy to understand and I often find myself remembering the details when I’m dancing outside of my classes with Magdalena. She creates a positive and motivational atmosphere and brings a lovely energy to every class she teaches. "
