Ellenie is absolutely fabulous with children and shows a true passion for dance that comes through in the way she teaches children and guides them with so much care and patience. One of my priorities wheenrolling my children in Dance was that I didn't want a very strict environment. I wanted them to learn some strong basics and have fun doing it. Well, we got that and more with this wonderful place and delightful family. Thank you for all you do for my girls, we are so grateful.

My daughters have been taking ballet/tap with Ms. Ellenie for over three years, and we could not be…read morehappier with our experience. She is an exceptional teacher--kind, sweet, patient, and incredibly skilled--who truly cares about each child. The studio is very family-friendly and has such a warm-hearted, welcoming environment. My girls absolutely love Ms. Ellenie, and because of her encouragement and high standards, they have grown tremendously in their confidence, flexibility, and overall love for dance. She motivates her students to work hard, be proud of their progress, and take real ownership of their performances, all while keeping the experience positive and supportive. Ms. Ellenie is very professional and provides a more intimate, individualized learning experience that focuses on personal growth and improvement. If you are looking for a dance teacher who genuinely cares about your children and helps them thrive both as dancers and as confident individuals, I highly recommend her studio.

I made beautiful friendships and unforgettable memories. At 17, life took a turn when I moved from Iran to the U.S. I had to press pause on dance. I always missed it, but time just didn't allow me to return. Now, life has come full circle. I have a 2 years old daughter who is already stealing the spotlight with her tiny moves. We've joined the Mommy & Me classes--and let me tell you, she's living her best life. She dances like nobody's watching , and I get to relive the magic all over again. Thank you, Or Anoush, for giving us more than just dance steps--you gave us community, joy, and now, some unforgettable mommy-daughter memories. The legacy continues--with smaller feet.

My husband and I had such a wonderful, relaxing, and yet invigorating class -- we came out smiling, calm, and eager to return next Monday night! Do yourself a HUGE favor -- carve out an hour and attend this yoga class! It is fantastic! No better way to end a Monday work day and get in the right mental and physical space for a great week! :)

Dancing has never been my thing, but she convinced me that it was a fun work out, and an amazing social gathering. So we finally got to this place and there was an intense line of people, registering or signing in. I thought wow this must be a popular class with a line like this... I didn't stop to think how are these people doing to fit in this studio space... So we finally get to our turn, and theres a red head lady sitting there with the fakes smile Ive ever seen, and before even hearing us out or asking about the paid promo we have, she's trying to sell us an 8 week class and can almost not take NO for answer, Like I haven't even seen the place, I haven't walked in... I have not experienced the class, the people, the instructor, like HOLD ON... give me a second to breathe. and when we weren't too keen on purchasing her classes, she tried selling us salsa shoes. like really? So without even having the class start, I was annoyed. The studio was pretty cool. Very large space, and people were slowly coming in... some just practicing steps from the class before, some mingling talking... before I knew it that large room was filled with so many people there was no place to move... It did not feel like a fitness class. I don't know what it was. - raunchy gym meets social club. there was everyone from students in sneakers to office workers in shirts and ties. and people were just going in and out as they pleased, bringing in food and drinks, towels, chairs. so not organized. and then about 18 minutes into the class the instructor finally walks in - thanks for making it to your class guy! I gotta give it to him he was pretty up beat and he makes the class somewhat fun. but there is nothing fun about not having any room to move around. They need to put a capacity on the number of people who can take the class. I was later informed that they rent studios from different places around LA and all the classes are like a salsa nigh club - sweaty people way too close in proximity... if that's what I am looking for I will go to a bachata club and rub up against strangers. I just feel bad for the studio owners who rent these places to groups like these thinking they are decent dance lessons, but have no idea the filth that comes within, I was so tempted to call the studio and let them know that they might have capacity issues or some kind of liability or something, I think I still might do that - after i let the steam from Monday's class cool down a bit. I just get annoyed when people falsly advertise their service or product and try to rip off customers. People really need to stop being so damn greedy and know when to put limits - first with the lady who couldnt limit herself in selling me shoes or classes, then with Serg who cannot limit the dancers to a comfortable workable amount.

This review is long overdue!…read more I've taken classes at both the Montrose and Glendale locations, and I truly can't say enough great things about these studios. After trying several other Pilates studios that felt impersonal, Motivate was such a breath of fresh air. Every single instructor is fantastic, but a few deserve a special mention. Odet is incredibly knowledgeable. This girl knows fitness! She knows exactly how to challenge and motivate her clients. Christine's positive energy, smile and genuine kindness make every class such a joy. Alin is also another amazing and motivating instructor. And Courtney somehow delivers an amazing workout while keeping everyone laughing, it's like getting a comedy show with your Pilates class! I can go on and on about each and every single instructor. Both studios are true gems for the Montrose and Glendale communities. The instructors, the atmosphere, and the workouts are second to none. I genuinely look forward to every class. Five stars simply aren't enough!
