'Ori Tahiti with Dylan - Lake Forest, California

Melani

Después de casi un año sigo enganchada a las clases de Dylan. Entrenamiento para tener un buen fondo físico para el Ori, técnica a tu nivel y necesidades, buena compañía, buena música, buen humor siempre, disponibilidad del profesor siempre, integración y respeto y lo que más me encanta y valoro...la energía tan bonita de Dylan que te empuja siempre hacia arriba en tu aprendizaje.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Y si sabes poco inglés, se le entiende perfectamente y te sirve para trabajar el listening también ?

Sus clases son buenisimas para cardio, tècnica, imporvisaciòn y lo mejor es que siempre te recibe con una hermosa sonrisa y energìa que te hace sentir como en casa, segura. Amo cada clase desde estiramientos hasta coreografìas...no puedo eligir por alguna que sea mi favorita, simplemente todas lo son!!

Y es tanto lo que me encantan sus clases que solo espero abra su academia para entrar XD

I have been taking classes with Dylan for about 6 months, and I absolutely love them. I came in as a brand new student with no dance experience at all, and from day 1, I felt welcome and comfortable. Dylan is a very talented teacher, his instructions are clear and easy to understand. If you want to learn how to dance while having fun and getting a workout, take his classes.

I loved taking Dylan’s workshop last weekend!! For my first ever workshop I felt so comfortable to dance freely and be part of the community. Before taking the workshop I wasn’t so confident in how I danced and I didn’t know how to be a strong solo dancer. But after taking his advice, I learned how to be the confident dancer I’ve always wanted to be and I now have a little recipe book of moves in my back pocket ?

I attended Dylan’s ‘Ori and aparima dance workshops this past Sunday at Ka `Ohi Nani o Mana`olana, a hui based in Concord, CA and had such a blessed time getting to dance in shared space and learn from Dylan along with the bestowing of his mana’o!

There’s so much treasured teaching I get to takeaway from Dylan’s instruction and build upon as I continue on my dance journey such as: when it comes to participating in comps, don’t forget your mixed plate of basic moves/fundamentals that all come together to make your unique recipe of expressive dance!

On a more vulnerable note: Returning to my dance journey after not having danced in many of years, has brought me back to times where I struggled with slight body dysmorphia and being too “in my head”. But I’m trusting the process of growing as a dancer, and taking my time, having grace on myself ?️

Māuruuru to all the inspiring and passionate leaders of the ‘ori community such as Dylan who has inspired me to push past the limits that I solely place upon myself, stop the negative, self-sabotaging talk and get to my core of why I even dance in the first place, my why:

?Love above all else
?Inclusivity
?Unique individuality
?Community
?Perseverance

And Healing ❤️️

100%, infinity/infinity would recommend you attend one of his dance workshops if you are just starting to dance or currently on your beautiful, unique dance journey! ?‍♀️

和Dylan上課將近一年的時間，每週二的常態可是我最期待的? 我住在歐洲，不同的時區還是上的到課喔！
在5月參加Dylan第一屆DSDP計畫，我非常非常推薦每一位舞者都應該參加！在這次計劃中Dylan請了很多線上知名的舞者來幫我們上課，上課前我以為我會和每位老師學習不同的combo組合，不不不！是更多層面的東西！我們學音樂性我們學每位老師的編舞歷程，聽老師們分享自己一路以來的經驗，這些是超級難得的！很少課程真的能夠一次認識不同的老師，聽她們說她們自己的故事！
我已經期待第二屆的DSDP！在短短8週獲得的真的比想像的多很多?

Dylan is an incredible instructor of Tahitian ‘Ori! He has helped me better understand body awareness and mechanics which have made a huge difference in how I dance. He is also super supportive and positive and it never feels like “work” even though his classes are tough and challenging. Absolutely take a class and see for yourself!

I wanted to learn a dance for my daughters graduation but the schools and classes near me required a membership. A friend referred me to Dylan and WOW! He is amazing! I wasn’t sure how the virtual classes were going to work, but Dylan is so patient and kind. I can’t wait to show off what I learned!
