Best of the Bay 2012 Readers’ Poll: BEST DANCE INSTRUCTOR

SF Bay Guardian

Quote from Students

Dance classes can feel like a contest. It’s not often that you find yourself in a place where you can feel the movement, get into it and love yourself. You get that here.

“Micaya makes hip hop approachable, 'what you can do in the club' . . . but I find myself doing it in my bathroom mirror because I’m still not over it after class.”

— Miko Laube

“People go to her class in part for the hip hop but in part for Micaya herself.”

“Even in a class of a hundred, Micaya has a way of teaching that makes you feel like she’s talking directly to you. Every person feels included and important and no one gets left behind.”

— Miko Laube

“I love Micaya’s class! It is filled with people from all walks of life who just want to dance. The best part, Micaya accepts us all and encourages us to leave our egos at the door and dance. And, we do.”

— Irene Holvik

“What, you’ve never gone, where have you been at?”

— Yesuah Bell

“Micaya’s class is for sexy people.”

— Megan Monsalvatge

“Micaya’s class goes from 0 to 60 in 3.5 and it never stops- enough booty bouncing and gyrating to give an earthquake a run for its money”

— Sammy Go

“Micaya combines great choreography with fun music and a teaching style that makes everyone feel welcome and talented!”

— Karen Greenwood Henke

“Micaya is more than a great dance teacher. She is a great combination of experience, motivation, energy, and silliness all wrapped into one extremely unique and wonderful instructor. When you take one of her classes you get the entertainment and a good work-out!”

— Heidi Law

“Micaya’s class is not only crazy fun, but it will shrink your ass as it expands your soul.”

— Kristin Slye

“Micaya is the 'Grand Dame' of hip hop; her enthusiasm and excitement are contagious. I look forward to her class as the high point of my day. She makes my endorphins rise.”

— Martin Mass

“Learn how to do it in the club TONITE!”

— Yesuah Bell

“I’ve been taking Micaya’s class on and off now for about 3 years. I love Micaya’s class, because of the diverse amount of people in her class. She has company members, first timers and committed regulars who work it out in every class. She breaks down her routines in a fun, but no nonsense kind of way. She wants people in her class to have a good time, but also expects them to work hard to achieve her choreography’s potential. Micaya also keeps her students on their toes by mixing a variety of dance styles and musical varieties of hip hop so no two dances are ever the same. Sometimes you get to rage and get out some aggression, while at other times, you slow it down and dance from your heart. Her choreography stems from emotional roots, which allows you to give a part of yourself, rather than just copying the steps. Micaya is honest, talented and involved in her student’s lives. She is an incomparable teacher, dancer and choreographer!!!”

— Elena Ruggiero

“Micaya’s class is fun, high energy, comfortable, and never boring!”

“What I love about Micaya in not only does she have the hottest hip hop action going on, but the manner in which she teaches is a fun, witty, sexy, yet concise way that gets people to really open up and move their bodies to the beat. She is a super awesome choreographer and teacher!! “

— Heidi Segedin

“I love the class. I think the environment is friendly, fun, and above all sexy! Coming to class is something I look forward to, and wish I could go to more often. I’ve made a lot of friends coming to class and through the workshop. Micaya is an excellent teacher, and she knows how to break down the choreography so it’s easy enough to pick up, but challenging enough to make you work. She keeps it fun and exciting and leaves me wanting more.”

— Chris Zimmerman

“Micaya’s class is crackin! She cracks the choreographer’s whip and her personality will crack you up”

Her class has given him a sense of pride and opened his world to the love of dancing which has been AMAZING for his self esteem, strength, creativity and also improved his skills in his other sports. We are very grateful and appreciative to Micaya for introducing Casey to dance and for always making it fun!”
