"Hot routines, hip music and Ilyse's enthusiasm combine for one fantastic workout!"                                                         Mark and Sioux Ratkovic "I love Ilyse, and that's why I love her classes!  As a teacher, she is just the right balance of fun and firm.  She makes us laugh, but pushes us hard.  Her class reflects her personal style:  the choreography is challenging and creative, which gets the brain working.  But unlike other dance classes I've taken, Ilyse keeps us moving so that we also get a great cardio workout.  She challenges us but keeps a sense of humor throughout, so that the whole thing never gets too serious.  She knows all of her students and encourages everyone, making her class an environment where anyone, not just advanced dancers, can have a great time, socialize and of course get a fabulous workout."                                                          Sharon Margaret Lord "My husband and I only had a short period of time to learn to dance for our wedding.  Ilyse was amazing!  She broke the steps down so that they were easy to learn for my husband-to-be (who has two left feet).  We had so much fun learning from Ilyse and our first dance went off without a hitch."                                                          Mr. & Mrs. Guzman "I always end up hyped, excited, sweaty, and totally in a great mood!  Ilyse is electrifying....and she gives you all the love you need!"                                                          Sam Willocks "My earliest memories of dancing was when I was around 5 or 6 years old, being on the stage dancing in a large circle and, being the shortest, feeling squished between the taller, older dancers, but loving every minute of it.  All these memories float back into my consciousness every time I dance in Ilyse Baker's class.  She has the marvelous ability to transform her classroom into a Broadway stage even without the bright lights and live orchestra.  Her teaching, her choreography, her attention to detail, her selection of music are all perfection.  If, after she has taught us a routine, she says out loud "Good job, Nancy, my heart feels like sailing, there is a smile on my face, and my day is complete."                                                            Nancy Klemens
