DANCE 1252025-12-16

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5

She is very kind and clearly cares about her students. She is also very good at really explaining ballet steps and showing why every exercise is important.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5

Dance105 is very unfriendly to people without ballet background, and the scores are very strict, although she always emphasizes that she is not very mean.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5

Liz is so nice. Yes Pilates Mat I, was not super easy and the quizzes were a little difficult but not impossible. Very interesting class and would def suggest.

DANCE 1352025-04-03

Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5

Liz is very kind and cares for her students. However, Pilates Mat I, a 1 credit class has been nowhere near easy and fun. There are 3 exams on the anatomy of the body in correlation to the exercises and a final where you have to perform the Pilates flow based on memorization. If you miss 3+ classes without make-up, you fail.
