More New York Gypsy Dance Workout Success Stories

Before I started attending NY Gypsy Dance Workout, my core has never been as strong and fit, although I studied classical ballet and gymnastics for many years. Working with Julia strengthened all of my muscles, and allowed me to gain a greater awareness of my body and its capabilities in movement. Now I weekly enjoy the variety of the world dances the right way, and have loads of fun in the process. I applied Julia's techniques to my other fitness outlet - parachute jumping - and performed a split in the air! - Yekaterina Barbash, Ph. D. in Egyptology, Brooklyn Museum

more >>Julia's classes have transformed me in an incredible way. I was never much of a dancer and I was a complete stranger to my body. I tried attending dance classes at the gym but each time got too embarrassed to continue past only a few lessons. After ten months of Julia's classes, I feel like a new person, both inside and out. My posture has been corrected and chronic bouts of debilitating back pain have become history. Whether you come to New York Gypsy Dance to shed pounds or to learn new dance steps, your body and mind will feel equally rejuvenated. After Julia's workouts I feel more playful, more graceful, and more self-confident both on and off the dance floor. - Julia G., Attorney. NYC.

My "before" NY Gypsy Dance picture is a bit embarrassing. I couldn't find my waist. I had no hope of fitting into my clothes. Had tried other aerobics courses and although I was stronger, they didn't target the necessary areas because they were unfocused. Even though I weight the same, I now have a reasonable shape and a better self image. Definitely happier! - T.

I am very happy to find Julia's classes. It is a hard work with fun and a lot of "happy" endorphins. My girlfriend, a fashion designer, noticed the results and complemented me (hence Julia's workout) with the best figure from all the time she'd known me. I found a workout for LIFE!- Julia Zborovsky, health management analyst.

New York Gypsy Dance is fantastic and full of inspiration for those who want to have their spirits uplifted and to be happy! It's an incredibly efficient cure!

I was coming out of a 24 year marriage and wanted to take "happy" classes. I found NY Gypsy Dance Workout definitely is fun. After just 4 classes, I noticeably improved agility in my footwork (how wonderful for tennis this summer!). I improved my posture as well as the abdominals, vaginal and upper leg muscles, all counteracting the effects of ubiquitous sitting at the desk. I've studied with Julia for 4 years now and all of my friends comment on positive changes in my posture and body shape. - Beverley Birks, Vintage Haute Couture clothing collector/dealer, www.BEVERLEYBIRKS.com

I've always wanted to learn Gypsy/Middle Eastern dance, and never having taken dance before, been too intimidated to start. Now I feel confident in my body, learn the basic moves, and am able to dance. After 8 pleasurable months of classes Julia's also given me the opportunity to perform publicly for the first time, alongside her dancers in the NY Persian Parade, something I never could have imagined doing previously. An onlooker complimented my dancing, saying I must have taken classes to have learned to dance like that. She couldn't have been more right about that! Thank you, Julia! - Beth S.

I was convinced that I was, and always would be a clumsy, ugly duckling until I took Julia Kulakova's NY Gypsy Dance class. Within my family I acquired a reputation as Queen Klutz. My poor sense of balance would leave me ramming into furniture, banging my head on open cabinets, and my personal favorite, tripping on nothing. Under Julia's tutelage, all of that changed. Gypsy Dance has realigned my spine, straightened out my posture, regulated my breathing, and has restored my sleep. It has opened up a well of beauty and natural grace of which I never thought I could be capable - C.

I began taking NY Gypsy Dance Workout with little ability to move my body with strength, awareness or fluidity. Now, I have achieved a growing connection with my body and the delightful ability to move in ways that make me feel free and strong. I have also gained so much emotionally, so much more comfort in my own body as well as a real sense of self mastery as I have learned how to move with grace. - Madelyn Freundlich, yoga teacher.

When bad knees put an end to competitive sports for me I needed a way to stay fit that also assured that I wasn't putting undue stress on my joints. I am not naturally a dancer but Julia's precise instructions and patience have allowed me to learn the technical moves and enjoy the entire process. Not only do I sweat and keep fit in Julia's class, but I also trust that I am properly aligned and moving in a healthy way, as I know she will correct me the moment I get sloppy. - Laura F.

From the first class I took with Julia about a year ago, I was hooked! Bored with traditional cookie-cutter exercise classes but with no formal dance background, I found Julia's class to be a challenging and exuberant experience with energizing diverse music, a focus on developing body strength and flexibility, and a sense of bonding with women of all sizes, shapes, and ages. Julia's class is one of the most fun parts of my day! - Yael Nitkin Kaner, clinical psychologist.

I have been in Julia's class for 2 years and I find it thrilling. I still master my English and greatly appreciate Julia's clear instructions and ability to explain movement for everybody to understand. In NY Gypsy Dance Workout I improved my coordination and posture and gained more awareness of my body. When I measure my capacity to move 2 years ago and what I can do today, I am so proud of this achievement. Thank you Julia! - Myriam Fleurdenpine, France

Julia's NY Gypsy Dance class is an extremely enjoyable way to get a great workout! She works us hard, but the results are there for everyone to see. Since beginning Julia's dance class, my lower abs are more toned, my waist has more definition and my upper back is much stronger. Plus, with the infectious rhythms of the music she plays, you hardly notice you are getting a great cardio workout, as well! - Lisa S., NYC
