"I've been dancing with Kanina for 3 1/2 years now. When I started dancing, I thought of myself as a graceless klutz and couldn't stand looking at myself in the mirror. The greatest lessons I've learned in class have been to love my body as it is right now and delight in what it can do. Kanina nurtures each and every student and brings forth the greatest expression of their inner light. I've mastered new amazing skills and discovered a whole new genre of music and culture that I've absolutely fallen in love with. Kanina is an inspiration to all of the women in class and in our audiences. She rouses our class to greater heights of confidence and beauty every term. Dancing in class and with the company is my greatest joy and I feel blessed to have found Kanina and all of my fellow dancers. Words to describe Kanina: inspiring, beautiful, creative, nurturing, classy, legendary, the essence of grace and dance! " -- Jen
"I started taking class with Kanina a couple of years ago purely for the exercise. What I have gotten back is so much more. Not only do I get a great work out but I have grown as a person. It is a learning experience for me also. I have learned about music, culture, art, and fitness. I have met some truly amazing women along the way, Kanina not withstanding. I should also mention along with all of this I have actually learned to belly dance. So much so that I actually performed before an audience. Which not too long ago, is something I would have told you I would never do. I would never have imagined 1 1/2 hours a week would pack in so much fun, fitness and education." -- Kim
