Maya is amazing and the class is super awesome! If you are looking for some engaging workout this is the class to take! Very fun! You have to attend a class all the time since attendance is a majority of your grade.

DANCE 118
Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
Awesome class. I have taken it twice now and tell all my friends to take it. It's a super fun, good stress-relief class that pretty much forces you to have a mandatory workout twice a week for a grade. Maya is great and it amazing (as a dancer and teacher), and I love the live drummers. 100% recommend taking this class to anyone.

I love Maya! This class was so wonderful, and she definitely allowed each student to get what they personally needed from it. If you're looking for an easy, relaxing, stress-relieving credit, this is it. Just show up and post on the discussion board and you should have no issues.
