Testimonials

“Talia is the only reason I am in any kind of shape over the last six years. I started taking her classes after the birth of my son, when I could barely drag myself to any kind of exercise. Suddenly I couldn't wait to go to class! Her energy, sense of humor, sassiness, and great choreography make her classes a ton of fun. Plus, she kicks my butt—they are such a great workout! She has also kept me going during this crazy time when so much feels hard. My body feels stronger and my spirit is lighter after every class.”  - Caroline G.


“As a professional trained dancer and choreographer Talia is a triple threat in the field of Zumba Dance Exercise.  She has amazing contemporary choreography that is complex but somehow also easy to follow, the workout is exercise is designed to get an intense cardio workout,  and the effervescent joy Talia brings carries you along through the hour.  The class has always been a highlight of my week as I feel re-energized and rebooted afterwards.  She comes with my highest recommendation.  99thpercentile of Zumba dance instructors.” - Berne F.


“Talia is truly inspirational in every way. Her extraordinary kindness and compassion makes everyone feel welcome, seen, and valued. She is attuned to her students and offers kind encouragement, as well as easy-to-follow instructions, exactly when we need it. Moreover, the beauty of her smile and in the way she moves would brighten anyone's day.”

“Personally, I’ve participated in many dance-based activities throughout my life (competitive dance, cheerleading, clubbing in college years, performing in musicals, swing / salsa dancing), but now as a working mother of 2 small children, a wife, and an orthodontic practice owner, I have little to no time for any of those prior activities. However, Talia has been a body and sanity saver during this shelter-in-place time period — making it possible to access amazing dance-based fitness classes anytime and from anywhere you have an internet connection!! Her old and new students are so grateful. Thank you Talia for all that you’ve done and continue to do so predictably — you’ve really gone above and beyond”. - Phoebe G.


“I always say that thanks to Talia I re-discovered dance. Every time I take one of her dance classes, I can connect to and channel my "inner dancer". The movements in other Zumba classes can sometimes feel a bit repetitive to me, however, not with Talia. This is because she has this talent of choreographing engaging, yet challenging, fun-filled dances and when you do them, you can be sure to feel energized and happy afterwards. Moreover, the music she chooses, covers a wide variety of styles and is highly motivating - so much that I often find myself still doing dance moves in my kitchen after class.  The icing on the cake is definitely her great energy with which she manages to carry anyone away.”

“For almost a decade I’ve arranged my life around making sure I’m available to be in class with Talia. And I know I’m not the only one! Through elections and tragedies, joys and pregnancies (mine, hers, and others), we’ve been through so much in the dance community that she’s fostered for us. Best of all, we just get to move our bodies in all different directions that we don’t get to in real life. (My desk job, sadly, does not require, nor likely allow, twerking.) Her classes are accessible to everyone, always fun, and always an amazing workout.” - Stefanie S.
