“I have been taking ballet classes with Ms. Jana ever since i was little kid, and have absolutely enjoyed every second of it. Now as a college student, the first thing I always want to do when I’m back, is to take her class! Ms. Jana truly cares so much for her students and works so hard to help all of us improve. She changed my life tremendously not just from ballet, but also because of the relationship that I have with her and the lessons that she taught me. There is always something to look forward to in a day when you know that you’ll be taking one of her classes :)”

“I have taken ballet from Ms. Jana for over 10 years now, and I can confidently say she is one of the best and most caring teachers you could possibly learn from. Ms. Jana’s training allowed me to be accepted into the UCSB Dance Program, where I currently train. Her teaching prepared me for the university training environment, and she not only gave me valuable dance knowledge but also the important life skills of hard work and dedication. Ms. Jana invests deeply in each one of her students and has a positive effect on all of them. I completely loved being her student and always look forward to visiting and taking her ballet classes!”

“Words alone cannot express the talent and gift Ms. Jana has for training individuals to their highest potential. I started taking ballet with Ms. Jana when I was five years old and can whole heartedly say I would not be the dancer I am today without her. Today, as a recent college graduate, I look forward to taking class from her again every chance I am back in town. She has not only taught me the art of dance, but from her I have learned discipline and commitment. She truly cares for her students both in the classroom and outside. Her passion for teaching and her students does not go unnoticed.”
