Testimonials

Mica’s class made me fall in love with dance all over again. She cultivates a safe environment for students to allow themselves to learn and fail and express themselves freely. Mica provides one on one attention and corrections, pushing her students to trust themselves and realize their full potential. As my mentor, Mica has changed my perspective of myself as a dancer and a human, giving me the confidence and tools to become the best version of myself. I have grown immensely under her guidance and will continue to do so!“ - Camryn Graves (Professional Dancer and PMT Faculty member)

"I've been taking beginner contemporary with Mica regularly for over a year. When I started, I was immediately attracted by the atmosphere in the classes (people seemed to know each other and had fun all the time!). Although I struggled with the level, Mica was always very encouraging, and over time, I've grown much more aware of my movements and of how they feel in my body. I also feel more confident, and ended up participating in a performance intensive Mica taught a few months ago! Even after a year of classes, there are always so many things to keep working on, and I'm grateful to Mica for providing a welcoming space to do that."- David Sanchez Garcia (Student)

"Mica is a phenomenal teacher! Her attention to each student and careful feedback make her classes an amazing, welcoming environment to train and improve. Coming from a more street dance background, I find jazz technique difficult to get right; but whenever I make a little progress, I feel like Mica notices and is there to celebrate with me. She's very approachable and always takes the time, even after class has ended, to answer any questions I was struggling with. Her beginner Jazz class also comes with a fun and challenging choreography that trains your musicality. Can't recommend her classes enough, go take!"- Richard Guo (Student)

"Classes with Mica warms the heart! She has been my mentor for a while now, and she pushes me in so many ways, always guiding me through the technical and mental stuff that are part of the dance world. She’s fun, dedicated to her art and makes everyone feel very special! - Leticia Cirne (Student/Mentee)

"I highly recommend Mica's classes to all performers actively auditioning. Mica is an amazing teacher that challenges you to perform past the point of just "knowing" choreography. Her classes have pushed me to not only improve my technique but to also apply that technique in a way that reveals my individuality as a dancer - IMPLEMENTATION AND EXECUTION ARE KEY! Her classes make me feel safe to explore and her feedback/notes continue to help me grow and feel more confident when auditioning. She challenges you to tap into yourself and unleash movement that is captivating. Finding a teacher that demands that deep level of artistry and performance is truly rare and magical. I leave class very motivated and inspired every time! Thanks for showing me that I am capable of more, Mica! ' - Jose Martinez-Chavarria (Student)

"Meeting Mica has truly been a blessing to my life.  Not only does Mica care about the foundations of dance, but she truly cares about each student in the room, making sure that everyone feels like their best selves. 

Mica is intuitive, personal, hardworking, and most of all empathetic.  I have been dancing with Mica for two years and I cannot wait to continue." - Sidney Rochlin (Student)
