Awesome Bellydance teacher!

by karla_menchaca

I am a belly dance student at Alegria and I know that Nery is strict and likes things done correctly. That is her job, to teach you right! I have met the instructor outside of the classroom and she is a very sweet and kind person.

She has always helped me when I am not getting a step and during class I have seen her go to EVERY student making sure they have the right position and if you are not getting it Nery will help you out.

It is unfortunate that “Beethoven” had a bad experience at Alegria but don’t judge the wonderful institute on the experience of one student because there are hundreds more that love the place and enjoy the classes.

The wonderful women that run this studio love what they do so much, they are very passionate about dance and so are the instructors.

Visit Alegria and you will feel right at home.

• Pros: location, friendly instructors, night classes.

I see Beethoven is mainly angry at the belly dance here. I wonder if she/he/it has even tried out any of the flamenco classes offered at Alegria before she/he/it was so quick to judge about them. I haven't taken any flamenco classes but just by seeing the recital this past weekend I was totally amazed and it has inspired me to take more classes from Alegria.

I also wonder if Beethoven even talked to the belly dance instructor about the problems that she/he/it may have had. If she/he/it did, then they need to make it clear on their review before leaving on here such a one sided review.

• Pros: Amazing teachers
• Cons: -----

Dance the Night Away...

by Cheesecake

I have been with this company for a couple of years. I have enjoyed every minute of it. I have dedicated all of my time to belly dance and the instructor. Nery has shown just how much knowledge of dance she has, by dedicating her time to all of the students. If you are looking for individual instruction, you will get it. She makes sure that all steps are learned and is very picky on the the technique. You have to work hard and show the talent. Belly dance is an important part of Nery's life and she will do what she can to teach all of her students. Trust me....no workout videos were ever involved when she was learning. Also, there is no favortism. If you show that you are there to dance, then all is well, but if you are there to goof off and play, then this is not the place for you. Beethoven.....I am sorry that you are the only one that seems to have a problem. You should have said something. When you realize what went wrong with your situation, we would love to have you back! As for everyone else.... please, come and join us. You will see just how much fun and hard we work there is.

• Pros: INSTRUCTORS, peers, price, talent
• Cons: none so far
