Bring Your Best! BYB4

Raena (Ricki Lascody), Dallas, Texas

"In my opinion, my dance has catapulted to a whole new level since the first Baladi Coaching session. I've felt the difference in my performances and also felt it contributed to very positive outcomes in my first solo competitions. People (including judges) have shared great feedback and those who know me more personally have commented that they almost didn't recognize my dancing. One actually said, "Did magic fall into your head or something?” :-) Ranya's program WAS the catalyst for my new approach to dance, physically and mentally. She is extremely in-tune and insightful so she challenges you to step out of your comfort zone in a way that isn't too much. It's a little scary but you can see she believes in you and wants you to be your best you so your feel safe in your attempts. The group setting also offers you great insights. You get to observe others challenging themselves and can observe how it all can apply to you in some way. I don't think I would've gotten as much from private sessions as I did from the group set-up. Highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to level up their dance!"

"I highly recommend online coaching with Ranya Renée. I really appreciated how positive Ranya's critique was for myself and everyone else. Not once did I feel threatened or judged. She created a very safe and supportive atmosphere and I appreciate that she shared some of her own personal struggles and process. I also liked working an a small group for the conference sessions. At first I was intimidated to be critiqued in front of others, but as we got going I found it was helpful to see everyone else being critiqued too. Often the concepts and skills they were working on were applicable to me personally, and I was able to listen to and evaluate all the critique in a more objective way than when it was just my own feedback, if that makes sense. I LOVED seeing other's personalities and musicality come through their dance. It was inspiring and made me that much more excited about my own creative process and interpretation."
