Life Health Studio

After working all day, there is nothing I enjoy more than knowing I have a belly dancing or Latin dance class taught by Louise Dorian to go to. When you enter her studio you can feel a peaceful energy and warmth that is truly welcoming. Her class size is perfect for meeting great people of all ages and abilities and everyone is so friendly and supportive. No need to feel self conscious here, Louise has such a great positive teaching style that you can’t help but feel comfortable. Whether it is all new to you or you have skills, the classes are tailored to fit each member of the class. If you have trouble with a move she is quick to help you and never makes you feel like you are holding up the class. She is such a skilled teacher, that she integrates a difficulty someone may be having into a positive learning moment for the whole classes’ benefit. Louise is a beautiful dancer and so knowledgable about the origins of each dance she teaches. She loves to share the history so you can «feel» what the essence of the dance should be and then then movements all make sense You develop a trust that allows you to fully «let go» in the class once the music starts. The stress of my day melts away listening to great music and I learn some of the most beautiful dance techniques from a wonderful teacher in a friendly warm atmosphere where I always feel welcome. What could be better than that!

I love this studio. Not only are they unpretentious, but they are highly talented dancers and dedicated & patient teachers too. If you are looking for a place to learn yoga and dance, where you won’t be judged on how (fit) you look, where you’ll be made to feel better about yourself inside and out, then this is it.
Also, Louise has magic hands and a calming yet energizing aura about her. I’ve had frequent massages by her during some of the toughest times in my life. Don’t know how I would’ve come through without her talent and positive energy.
