Review of Jalene, September 06, 2010
I'm a movement instructor too and I can be a little picky about who I think is a talented teacher. Jalene possesses the rare combination to work with beginners as well as experienced people at the same time. She's funny, engaging, and really sees each person in her class. I look forward to studying with her for a long time!
- Pros:
- Helpful, Engaging, Encouraging, Smart, Patient, Funny, Fun, Good communicator

Review of Bellydance Classes at the Ballard Health Center, April 21, 2010
Living in El Paso does not afford me the chance to take Jalene's classes but I would move just for that! The time I HAVE spent with Jalene has been very inspiring. She has got to be one of the best. I'm sure that anyone who has had the honor of sharing any dance experience with her will agree. Finding a belly dance instructor to match her will be very hard.

Review of Ongoing Bellydance Class in Central District/Capitol Hill, June 17, 2009
I have been taking belly dancing classes from Jalene for about one year. She is great! Her laid back but extremely knowledgeable approach is both challenging and casual. Jalene teaches with the interest of her students at heart. She is supportive and fun, sharing her experiences as a novice dancer and transforming those moments into humorous learning opportunities. If you're curious about belly dance or already have tried it, check Jalene out, you will not be disappointed!

- How was the price?:

Review of Jalene, June 15, 2009
If you're looking for a great class with an amazingly kind, fun, talented, and respectful instructor, this is the one for you. Jalene is the kind of person who inspires her students and never makes them feel stupid. She is endlessly patient and always takes time to help. I tire of pretentious teachers who give you dirty looks for missing a class or who think they're so amazing they don't take time to remember what it's like to learn something new.
This class has boosted my confidence and provided an amazing atmosphere in which to learn. I hope anyone who has ever been curious will give Jalene a try!- Pros:
- Helpful, Engaging, Encouraging, Smart, Patient, Funny, Fun, Good communicator

"Rare Find"

Review of Jalene, December 21, 2008
Jalene’s classes are a rare find for anyone seeking a welcoming environment with zero pretension. I have been a student of hers (on and off) since 2005, and I return because her classes consistently reward me with a body-positive awareness of motion and incentive to stay fit. Jalene’s deep knowledge of different styles of Eastern dance and music is evident. She knows what it’s like to be a learner because she’s continually studying her craft. Her approach varies from class to class so that even casual students such as myself find their horizons broadened. Facial expressions, rhythms, theatrical performance, candle-work, costuming, resistance of motion, self-choreography, anatomy, cultural geography, and general fitness are a few subjects I recall from Jalene’s lessons. I’ve been able to apply principles of movement and performance I’ve learned from Jalene to arenas outside of the dance studio. I miss her classes when I’m not taking them and would recommend her as an excellent teacher to anyone considering taking regular bellydance lessons. Perhaps I’ll see you in January at Groovy Dancer Studio, where I’ll be taking my next round of classes from Jalene.
