"Inspiring and mind-opening!"

"It made me remember why I am passionate about dance."

"I've grown as an artist, performer, dancer and person."

"I have recently started taking Joe's class and love it! I feel comfortable experimenting with my body's capacity for movement in his class. It is non-competitive and open, yet challenging and explorative. A wonderful integration of voice, movement, and spirit; this class releases you into a rhythmic intoxication!"
     - Suzanne Fernandez, San Francisco

"I find myself exploring the limits of my body and using my body in new ways because of Joe's dance style. Counterbalance, swing, release, momentum, the shifting of center of gravity, focus, suspension, all these things he uses and I've come to understand and appreciate. I am a better dancer in any style because of the contributions Joe's style has made to me as a complete and integrated dancer. I am a better person because of the challenge Joe's style has presented me, the concepts I've learned, the mental barriers I've overcome, and, not least, my association with the whole Joe Goode Performance Group and the other dancers they attract."

"I go to their twice weekly class knowing not only that I will be physically challenged and come away stronger and more talented. But knowing that I will be spending two hours with people who welcome me, support me, will give me advice and encouragement - and who also want to be there, dancing with me. I've always believed in the unspoken connection between dancers that makes us closer because we share an understanding of an art that most people don't have, but never have I felt it more than since I've begun learning from and with Joe, Liz, Felipe, Marc, Marit, Jen, Ben, and now Rachael, as well as all the many other dear friends I've made and will continue to make along the way. My future is brighter, my body stronger, my spirit surer, and my heart healthier for having known all of them."
