"Taking a class with Makela is the experience of being in the presence of a master. She magically sees and feels the ways I can improve and communicates what's next for me in a way I can actually do it. Her passion and discipline are contagious and have spread into every area of my life. I'd say we don't know what's possible for us in Tango until we study with Makela."

"I more than enjoyed the Real Women in Heels class. It took me back to my old days sweating it out in ballet class 5 times a week. If I'm going to spend the time learning something new I want to really understand the technique behind it. The beauty is in the details, and it's obvious this is the approach you bring to your teaching. I wasn't expecting the class to be such a workout (although I enjoyed it and needed it too) so next class I'm coming in yoga pants so I can really get into it."

"You teach in a way that feels intelligent, and I like how perceptive you are. "

"Jason and I have enjoyed taking your class and are appreciative of your gifts as an instructor. I've taken dance with many different teachers over the years, and you are excellent at what you do because of your attention to detail; that prevents us from picking up bad habits as we learn the steps. Jason and I have improved greatly over the 8 weeks we've been taking your class, so thank you! I look forward to our tango class every week"
Jennifer,
I love to help my students re-discovering the passion of life and acceptance and happiness through dancing tango.
