Sixteen years ago, moving to Los Angeles from Europe—where people can still walk from place to place and don’t necessarily need to work out to keep in shape—I had to find a way to compensate my sudden and unexpectedly significant lack of physical activity. Jogging? No, thanks! Tread mill? Please! Steps, bikes, machines? Not for me. It had to be fun, challenging and, more importantly, creative. I first joined Delane Vaughn’s hip-hop class and then his jazz class as well. At first I was lost and had no idea what I was doing or supposed to do. Yet, I decided to stick with it because I feared even more the boredom of typical gym activities—or classes for that matter. I am now addicted to my dance work out with Delane, which keeps me physically healthy and mentally refreshed. When Delane arrives, I am never sure what he is going to come up with, but that only makes my experience constant and intriguing work in progress. I know for sure that I could never remain committed to any conventional work out or repetitive routine, as the brain needs as much nourishment and experiment as the body does in order to remain flexible and responsive. Delane has a very eclectic talent and can adjust his creativity to any music. I often showed up to our sessions with Arabic or Hebrew songs, flamenco or tango, African and Polynesian percussions, Australian rhythms, and he made me dance on all of them, naturally. Delane just listens to whatever you may suggest, and translates it into movement that works for your body.

For those of us who are not trained professionals, who are not interested in trying out for Beyonce's next music video, or who have a limited dance background, it can be challenging to find a dance class in Los Angeles that isn't intimidating. After taking classes with dance instructors who made me feel self-conscious, inferior, or like I was in the wrong place altogether, I finally decided to shop around for something that made me feel good about myself. When I found DeLane's class, I was comforted to see a room full of students just like me: women (and some men!) who simply wanted to move creatively and dynamically no matter what kind of training they had. I saw a room filled with dancers of all levels - some beginners, some "hobby-ists," and even some advanced students who simply enjoyed DeLane's style of teaching and choreography. I quickly found myself fitting right in, thanks to the sense of welcome and positivity in the room. DeLane is one of the most positive and fun-loving instructors I have ever known, and I'm not surprised that my dancing has flourished under him. DeLane demands only one thing of his dancers: that we put our whole hearts into the movement. His taste in music is wide-ranging, and I never know which part of the world we be traveling to next. Every class is a workout (how can it not be if you're dancing with your whole heart?), and I leave feeling refreshed, revived, and ready to take on life's next curve ball.

I am now a 12 years old and ive been working with Delane for 2 years now and Iv'e lost 20 pounds and gotten muscle! I take private classes with him. Before i had a big belly, flappy arms, and jiggly legs. I was a chubbster. Delane has really inspired me to be active, and keep on going. His stretches really work me out, that's what makes the muscle. I know have toned legs, NO MUFFINTOPS! I dont have a big belly now! I'm so proud of myself and thankful of Delane please check him out he's awesome!!!!You wont regret it!

Delane is a wonderful dance teacher. He is authentic and a real joy to dance with. His teaching techniques have inspired me to be the true artist I was born to be. I feel more confident and my energy levels are high as a result of having lessons with Delane. Delane is a true inspiration and since taking a variety of dance classes with him I have a bounce in my step! He has given me the gift of expression through dance. I am now more open to receive and give. I am looking forward to continuing this journey of dance. He is truly amazing. I highly recommend Delane as a Dance teacher,

Delane is an inspiring and positive dance teacher. He worked with my son who was so inspired after just a few dance lessons that he performed a solo dance for his friends and family. We did Michael Jackson dances and lots of other fun dancing at our party. Delane is professional and I knew we were in good hands the minute we met him. Thank You Delane for making our party a memorable night!
