She loves her teachers as do I, especially Miss Madelin. My daughter is on a couple of the show teams and gets so many opportunities to perform and so much more personal instruction that she would not get in a larger company. Miss Zsa and miss Madelin also have parties for the girls, which really is a wonderful way to celebrate the end of a season and for the girls to bond.

We wanted a first dance for our wedding, and Genevieve helped us bring our vision to life. We had a…read moreconcept at the beginning, and from then and throughout the process, she took our abstract ideas and turned them into a beautifully choreographed dance that shocked our friends and family (in a good way). I appreciated that she adjusted her approach based on our timeline. We started with just a few classes, so she focused more on just creating and teaching the choreography. But when we realized we could devote more time, she shifted to working with us on our fundamentals to make the entire thing look much more polished. Highly recommend!

We wanted to be synchronized and prepared for our wedding first dance and Genevieve helped us bring…read moreall of that to life! We took a total of 5 dance lessons and we are so happy with the results. Our successful first dance would not have been possible without Genevieve's guidance, patience, and incredible choreography. She started by teaching us the basic fundamental dance steps (ie. rumba, foxtrot, single time swing) and then pieced the steps into a choreographed dance to the song we chose (Harvest Moon by Neil Young). She taught us how to transition from one step to another and provided us with tips on how to be more aligned with each other. This was the first time we've taken dance lessons since we were kids, but Genevieve made us feel comfortable and put us at ease! After every session, she would email us notes so we could review each lesson and practice at home. I highly recommend taking dance lessons with Genevieve, whether it's for your wedding or just for fun! My partner and I really enjoyed our time with Genevieve and are so thankful for her support and guidance. We look forward to further lessons with her in the future! Tips for new clients: I recommend starting your lessons at least a month and a half before your wedding. It would be helpful if you had your first dance song or a few song options chosen before reaching out to Genevieve.

My daughter enjoys the Monday classes. We also started the Saturday classes which I have to get her warmed up to. The instructors are good, they do their best I don't have an outrageous high expectation, its hard enough to be a teacher yet, it's even harder to be a teacher to children because not all kids have a long attention span. Im happy that I found this new dance family for my daughter. We plan to be with them for a long time.

It was a perfect extra curricular for her during lockdown and she learned so much virtually. They had virtual showcase and the kids learned the dances just though the screen and to me that was amazing. Teachers Fue and Jackie are very patient to the kids. Now that Manuia has been open in person, they were able to do in person shows lately, one of which was in Chase Center for the Warriors Polynesian Heritage Night. That was a very memorable experience for my daughter. Not only that she's learning different dances, coming out of her shell and is more confident, but Manuia is like a family to us. She's making new friends and the amazing team: Auntie Camille, Uncle Tommy, lovely teachers Fue and Jackie and the rest of the Manuia teachers and drummers are very welcoming and talented in more ways than one.

UPDATE: I've posted before stating how friendly the instructors are and how clean the studio is but…read moreI didn't know how good I had it. The studio recently closed for about 10 days to replace the floor mats. While they were closed, I went to another studio in a nearby city to do Inferno Hot Pilates. It had a much larger space. I thought it was kind of neat, but I noticed that almost everyone did not speak to the person near them. During the class no one made any noises. There was no "hooting and hollering." Even when the instructor asked how everyone was doing, no one said anything. The classes were ok at first, but by the 3rd class it became boring. There are a lot of regular yogis at Sangha. We are friendly and we talk to each other and to the new people if they want to talk. If you're new, you're encouraged to go at your own pace. You rest when you need to rest. We also "hoot & holler." There's a lot of energy in the class that makes it fun. We get energy from each other & the good music. The more yogis there are the more fun it becomes. It doesn't matter if you're what type of body shape you have. No one cares. The regular yogis also come in all shapes & sizes. We're all just trying to be healthy & have fun. The studio is clean. The instructors are always cleaning the floor mats & mirrors. There's no weird odors. You will not be lying in someone else's puddle of sweat. The owners/instructors are super friendly. This studio is very welcoming.

He's got that middle aged Bay Area Filipino humor and he's very thorough and clear on what to do and how to drive. The lessons were comprehensive but not overwhelming. I think the best highlight of his lessons were the places we went. He and I drove from SF to San Mateo and back, and there was always a way to cram in practice on subjects like knowing what to do at an area with few stop signs or driving on the freeway. A very honest recommendation for people that want to learn driving.

I had heard of Capoeira, always imagined as something I could never do or something I should ve…read morepicked when I was much younger. One day by chance, I saw 2 people doing capoeira at a street event of the Center (an awesome place by the way) , who were students of Bill Stark (Tucano), it looked so fun and beautiful I wanted to try it myself at his school. The philosophy of the school is to make capoeira accessible to everyone, and this really shows when you go to their classes. Everyone I have met in class is very welcoming, friendly, has a really good atitude on their own work as well as helping others. The energy and inspiration you get off them is really high. I d never done Yoga, I had just been trying to keep in shape with gym and tennis sometimes, I have been doing 2 and a half months of Capoeira at CAQ, I can now do stuff I could never imagine myself doing and I feel stronger than ever, and this is only the beginning... Tucano is a very nice, friendly, inspiring guy. His capoeira is awesome and knows how to feed knowledge on his students. Once you got the most basic things right, he works on the details, one by one, making the move/sequence you are working on more challenging at every step. If you are a more advanced student, he still does this, there is always room for improvement in Capoeira!. He also talks about strategy at the games and gives you very constructive feedback when he sees something wrong. The place where we train is really nice and conveniently located at Lower Haight. Lots of classes - Mon-Fri 8-9AM , Mon-Thu 6:30-7:30, and a weekly roda (really a lot of bang for your buck) . First week is 18 bucks for you to try it out, then $135 a month. Join us!

I'm a black belt in a Japanese martial arts, and a teacher in that practice as well, so I can say with great confidence that Tucano's class is a great blend of workout, theory, and play. As a beginner capoeira student, I really liked his pacing, though I've seen Tucano take on a mixed class of advanced and new students, and the more advanced students had a blast, too. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for mental, physical or spiritual exercise.

Since the Daly City location closed and the influx of people happened, it's been a fairly rapid decline into squalor. It's a small gym and just adding more broken down equipment from the closed gym doesn't make up for more people here. The machines break down more often and seem to be taking longer to be repaired. They seem to run out of paper towels every month. Now it seems that they have just stopped cleaning, at all. There is dust, dirt, debris, and trash on most every floor surface. Almost all the lips between the concrete floor surface and the rubber mat surfaces are coming loose. No one goes around and puts stuff in its proper place, some of this is on the members, but there needs to be tidying done...it used to get done regularly.
