HOTBEAT DANCE - STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

What students say about Diamand’s classes:

"I found the show girl class was a refreshing class after a hard day at work.  The structure of the class gives you a mixture of warm-up, free style dance moves and choreographed routines. Our teacher Diamand is approachable and always keeps the energy levels up.  The class is well worth a tr√ø." Suzie Manassa

"I  had the opportunity to try the Funk Jazz Hip Hop and the Samba classes and had an absolute ball.  Diamand is a talented, personable teacher who made the dance moves look so easy.  The classes are really enjoyable and I loved laughing at myself when trying the complex samba moves.  I would definitely recommend Hotbeat Dance to anyone who wants to have some fun!"  Liza Foote

 "I was initially nervous about starting dance classes as I had no experience and thought it would be embarassing. I'm so pleased I went ahead with it as it has been a great experience and I am enjoying it so much.  The instructor (Diamand) is very supportive and there are people there of all levels.  The moves and music are so much fun and now I have got someof my friends to come along and they are loving it too!"  Alice Tiller

I just wanted to say thank you for the recent classes.  I really enjoyed the experience. I felt like i started to at least get to grips with the basic step. It will allow me to have more understanding of what's going onduring my upcoming trip to Brasil. I will actually be in the carnival parade in SP and will be going to practice with the school so i hope to use my experience there. i'll let you know how it goes!" Graham Newman

"I have been taking Diamand's beginner jazz/funk class for the last year and I absolutely love this class.  The class is taught in an environment where you feel completely comfortable to 'boogy' away.  Everyone is there to have fun.  Diamand is a fantastic teacher whose energy and enthusiasm is infectious.  I would thoroughly recommend you give the class a go.

Learning two dances over 6 weeks gives you a great sense of achievement and really makes you feel like you could be in some of the film clips for the songs you are learning the dances to. I especially love that when you're out with your friends and a song comes on that you've learnt a dance to, you can show your friends all your 'hot' new moves." Samantha Hills

"Great routines, which change every three weeks, funky music to dance to,
and lots and lots of fun!!"  Jennifer Kwok

"I have been doing funk classes for years now. When I first started I was clumsy and practically danced with my 2 left feet. I was amazed on how fast I learnt and follow the steps. Diamand's funk class is definitely the best as she makes it so easy and fun for us to learn. The compilation of R&B music is awesome and it's always loads of fun trying those sexy moves you only see in music videos. Think Usher. Think Beyonce. There is nothing better to kill work stress than to boogie and shake your booty!!!"   Yossy Dharmadinata

"The Hotbeat Dance Classes are definitely worth your money.  The dance techniques not only help you keep fit (I have lost 3 kilos from the classes, yippee!!) but it is also lots fun.  The music, instructor and the dance moves are fantastic!  I would recommend the classes to anyone!"  Luanne Balaba

"If you think that you are too old, not flexible or don’t any rhythm whatsoever…then Diamand is the teacher for you. Diamand has been teaching me for two years now. She is a very encouraging teacher and makes you feel comfortable in her classes. I have thoroughly enjoyed the Beginner Funk and the Beginner Brazilian dance courses. For those of you who’ve thought about starting to dance but are too scared, I say give any of Diamand’s Beginner courses a go."   Paneeta Schwinghamer

"I have been participating in the Funk and Latin Funk classes for over two years. The class is a fun way to exercise, learn dance moves, stretch, improve co-ordination & balance & rhythm. Diamand is always smiling & the class quickly shares her love for dance. Diamand always makes sure everyone can see what she is teaching, breaking down the routines into easy to follow steps. The stretching session at the beginning & end of each class is also relaxing & therapeutic. Every week I look forward to moving my body in new ways that never occurred to me before."   Dean White

"I've been taking Brazilian dance with HOTBEAT for 6 weeks and there's nothing more I look forward to. The dance moves are fun and challenging and the atmosphere of the classes are relaxed and accommodating. Diamand teaches us at our own pace so there's plenty of time to get it right. The class is intense and heart racing and exhausting and above all, fun."  April Smallwood
