I've been attending Santoor classes at Music and Art World for nearly 3 months now. Although Im not…read moreready to "go out on the road" or make my debut at Dorothy Chandler, I've have been surprised at that amount of personal attention I get from the owner and the people who work there. I get personal one on one lessons from a master of Santoor - passionate and professional - I can only hope to play with such grace and enthusiasm and heart. (Personally, I am absolutely fond of the instrument - it melts my heart to hear it played and enlightens my spirit to play it). I would highly suggest to anyone to take a music class or dance classes. It's both relaxing and challenging. Calming my mind from the relentless days of work and stress - while challenging my creative side and eye/hand coordination... completely stimulating. The school is quite affordable, and they offer more than just Santoor (Santur), Setar, and piano lessons but also Persian dancing and Belly dancing (I can only be a spectator in this case as I was born with two left feet). Based on my observations, the Persian/Belly dancing instructor is quite patient yet firm with her students - I've seen all ages taking the classes and they seem to have fun. (Gosh- I wish I were that graceful. DOH! ) The instructor Ive seen teach is quite famous from what I hear her name is Jamileh - she seems so awesome - powerful, feminine and graceful. Additionally, they do have a location in the valley where more types of the "arts" are offered: art, flower arrangement, table decor, voice lessons group/individual - kids especially would enjoy these classes, I'm sure. So, back to my lessons, I've learned an immense amount of the fundamentals of music (its been YEARS since I looked at sheet music). My instructor has students who have been playing for years and then there is me. :) No experience, just the love of music and the desire to learn, practice and progress.

I highly recommend Irit's flamenco classes in North Hollywood! She is an amazing instructor and a…read morebeautiful dancer. She's very thorough with her instruction and breaks everything down so that her students are not just learning steps and choreography but are internalizing and understanding the compas (rhythm). I love that she focuses on core concepts and rhythms that any flamenco dancer should be well-versed in. I also really appreciate her personalized feedback. Irit's classes are great for beginners all the way to advanced dancers. Five stars all around!

I've also been lucky enough to hire her as a dancer and choreographer for multiple projects, which I would do again and again in a heartbeat. Firstly, Galit is so passionate about teaching and it really shows. She is not only an incredible dancer, but she really knows how to hone in on each of her students' special strengths and help them grow as both a dancer and a person. She's very knowledgeable in multiple genres of dance and has years of experience, which she brings into every lesson. She's full of energy and enthusiasm, and always creates a super fun and encouraging environment. She's also always punctual and well-prepared. I'm blown away by the shows she puts on with the Spark Kids and it's so sweet to see how all of the children absolutely adore her! I would highly recommend Galit and can't wait to work with her again.

I have taken privates with Brinn for about a month now and see amazing transformation in my…read moreconfidence and my dance. She have created an effective platform for women to connect with themselves to channel their inner beauty. She is alert and present in all of her privates and focuses on individual growth. She will take as much time as needed to perfect technique and expression. She has reminded me why I dance and how dance is therapeutic. There are multiple reasons to dance, and everyone dances for a different reason. This is why Brinn is so unique, she understands everyone has different goals and doesn't try to lock each dancer into a mold. She helps you realize your goals through her method. You don't have to be a professional industry dancer, you just have to come with passion (and heels lol). She's extremely patient and cares about your progress. She's a great dance educator and I'm thankful for the safe space she has created for us all to get in touch with our true self.

I would say take some private lessons first if you are a beginner like me. I didn't even know the ABCs of Salsa and Bachata, and taking private lessons definitely helped. After I got little comfortable with it, I started taking the group choreo classes. The group classes are fun and great way to be comfortable with dancing with strangers. After couple group classes, went to social dancing which was terrifying but had to do it if I ever wanna become a decent dancer lol. Overall this is a great place to learn new choreo or start from scratch.

I also improved my dancing skills exponentially compared to the last time I was there which was 10 years ago. I'm sure if I stayed there I would've been the best dancer, but that does not matter.

You'll only know what I mean if you come join us at Gevorkian Dance Acadamy.
