"I have been dancing with Carolyne for 14 years and find her to be an incredibly skillful and inspiring teacher. She has the ability to combine excellent instruction, depth of heart, a great workout and fun in one class. The only reason I've been taking NIA for so long is because of Carolyne. I recommend her heartily."

"Carolyne goes far beyond technical mastery to bring an infectious, encouraging and joyous energy into every corner of the room and straight to the soul of every participant."

"I met Carolyne in May 2008 at her Nia class. Carolyne changed any negative preconceived notions I may have had as soon as she started the class and was very helpful about showing me how to do the moves correctly without making me feel intimidated or singled out.

Several months after attending her Nia classes. I approached her about personal training for weight loss. I needed to be educated on why "diets" don’t work as well as how to build muscle the correct way. She educated me about all these things. Carolyne is great about listening to you and your needs as well as keeping a check on how your body is feeling through the journey. I have been working with her for almost 3 months now and can tell a huge difference in my health as well as in my shape. Not to mention buying a smaller size feels FANTASTIC!! She has truely changed my life."

"Taking NIA from Carolyne has always been good, but now it is great. She is a superb and supportive coach, personally engaged trainer, funny lady, and someone people want to be around. She's evolved so as a person and teacher, that our classes are inspiring, hard work, fun, liberating and joyous.

I am an executive coach and therefore an observer of people. Watching Carolyne's personal and professional transformation is inspiring. Carolyne has a well deserved following of dedicated students who work hard to grow under her expert and caring guidance."
