    In short, Ureka is phenomenal. Inspiring. Marvelous. She is an absolute professional, and master of her craft. She is an insanely talented dancer, as well as a natural born teacher. She is non-stop working and developing her teaching skills and is 100% dedicated to providing the highest quality experience to her students. She expertly tailors every program to meet each individual students' needs. Ensuring the curriculum is entertaining and challenging enough to promote growth and self-confidence. Ureka mentors and encourages you. Cheering for your accomplishments, and helping you understand and correct your mistakes. She is genuine and non-compromising in her care for students. Knowing how to reach students at the level they are, and build them up to the level she knows they can be. Creating strong student-teacher relationships through trust and progression. Her unrivaled versatility and brilliance shines through her abilities to conceptualize, and breakdown complex body movements, rhythm, and advanced lead/follow technique. Not only is she Incredibly knowledgeable and proficient on an abundance of dance styles and histories, but she holds within her an invaluable wealth of experience and wisdom. She teaches more than just dance. She models and directs a process of self-discovery that motivates and grooms students to live as better people. Creating a better world of dance through her community. Learn everything you can from her!! I am so immensely thankful for the opportunity to meet this wonderful woman, and to be introduced to the world of dance by her. It was a tremendous pleasure to be under her instruction. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Ureka for being honest, loyal, and compassionate. She taught me to be proud of my successes; both in the ballroom, and in life. I am honored that she shared her passion with me, and privileged to call her my coach.

    Ureka showed great enthusiasm, personality, and clarity. Her moves are graceful to watch and try to emulate. Verbal cues for cadence and emphasis are very helpful. Bringing her husband in to demonstrate partner moves brought it all together. My wife and I had great fun on this first lesson in preparation for our son's wedding!

    Ureka is a fantastic cheer coach and choreographer. Together we won three Dodds European Cheer Championships. She is a great cheerleader and fantastic dancer! My cheerleaders look up to her so much, fantastic teacher and role model. Our dances are always on point because of her instruction! She is the best at what she does!
