PEAK

The following comments are taken from class evaluations of the PEAK training sessions.

Love the new approaches.  Good job!

You guys make great teachers, happy that you’re staying [in town].
We wish we had the same class in Latin.

Great class to attend.
Gave us a lot of information that’s seldom taught in ordinary private lessons.

Very interesting.  Something I never heard about.  Good.  Keep it up!

I think your Peak classes are a really good idea! Having played piano for 12
years both for myself and in front of others, I feel that the issues you
address in the classes are vital to develop in any artistic discipline.

Very interesting training techniques.  Very good to simulate competition conditions.  Why didn’t someone do this sooner?  Welcome back!

Good job, not too many teachers pay attention to warm-up and stretching before dance.  On the other hand;  many people may think it cuts into the real dancing!

We are believers of your P.E.A.K. We think the P.E.A.K. is a great innovative program you have created, and you are not only good dancers but great teachers.

Way to go, Joel & Clara, you are great!

 

Rising Star Squad

I would like to thank the two of you for all your help this past year. The exercises that we did in the RSS classes were a definite factor in speeding up my recovery after surgery.  After not being allowed to lift my arms for 3 months, it was a real challenge to do the posture/frame classes at the beginning but with every week I became more flexible and a little bit stronger.  If it wasn't for my new time schedule, I would be enrolling myself in all the classes that you have to offer!

I think it is a lot of fun, you guys are great! 

I’ve gained more from your classes than other group classes that I’ve attended.  I like the technical aspect of the class, using steps we know of and fine-tuning the steps.  Many thanks!

Great job!  I really enjoyed the class!!

The instructors were very patient & open to questions.

Classes are fun and interesting!!  Thank you!!

Joel and Clara – you both are great instructors.  I enjoy your classes a lot. Appreciate your enthusiasm for teaching and also appreciate how you really care a lot about helping people improve their dancing.

Your instruction is very clear – excellent use of demonstrations and breaking down choreography into components.  Explanations and use of descriptive words/imagery is excellent!

Best class running in Vancouver this summer I think!  Joel, Clara – thank you both!  I would definitely recommend it to everyone considering taking it!

 

It’s a very interesting class.  Makes me love Standard more!

Great job ~ always something to learn.  Appreciate the individual attention and extra comments.

I really enjoyed your classes.  You are both very talented and gifted dancers and instructors.  Thank you so very much.

Thanks for being really nice teachers in the RSS- makes me look forward to every class.

I really enjoyed your standard technique class over the summer.  I like your teaching style and the atmosphere of your classes.  I look forward to taking technique classes/private lessons with you in the future (perhaps next year)!

Thanks for the class notes Joel and Clara!  I found them really helpful.

 

Workshops

Lead and follow has always been our problem since we picked up competitive dancing, and we are glad that you put on this work shop.  Before we came we thought we were just going to get some routines for floor crafting, but it turned out that you delivered a bigger vision that we should apply to every step we dance.

I learned more today than I've learned in the past 3 years!

Joel & Clara, I really like the floorcraft workshop. It is really about partnership of the two dancers (follow & lead). It is sad for me that I am going to miss the last one =(
Congrats on the great success on this workshop, and I look forward to your next one! Thankyou =)
