What a great concept to provide personalised feedback directly to us! I’ve never seen any other company provide this kind of unique service. Yolanda helped me refine my movements and now my transitions are a lot smoother and more controlled. My transfer of weight has also improved with some simple tips and tricks. Yolanda is with you from start to finish breaking down all the fundamentals that absolute beginners need as a foundation to hip hop. Even experienced dancers can benefit from going back to basics. She responds quickly once homework has been uploaded. Great to have an instructor who provides honest personalised feedback! Thank you Yolanda and Groove Zone…

This course is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! These videos are super helpful whether you’re just beginning to start dancing or you consider yourself as an advance. I love the breakdown of each steps. Yolanda’s advice where to put your weight is very helpful too. I tend to lose my balance most of the time. These steps are always a hit when you go to the clubs or any dance parties, no doubt -- you can just always add your flavors to these grooves! Keep practicing and practicing and you’ll be aware of your body movements in no time. Have patience and have tons of fun following Yolanda’s videos. have tons of fun!
