Isabelle!!

Thank you so much for your e mail. It means a lot - and I know your schedule is crazy. So guess what? I was actually there Friday night with three of my girlfriends. I was the one who kept waving her dress around and I have pink in my blonde hair - anyway, not sure if we made impressions - but you truly did. We loved you - loved your way of teaching - your enthusiasm and well, you're just beautiful.

Have a such a great trip - we will plan on coming to the Friday night classes and get lots better so that when you come back - we'll be able to show you something great.

And I remember what you said...always be ready for the guy on the 5 - but never EVER waste those other counts - move those hips - step side to side - do whatever you have to do - but never waste - oh, and keep the arms chi chi level.

LOVED IT!!!

Thank you so much - have a safe trip and a joyful vacation and we look forward to seeing you when you get back!

Hi Isabelle -

Thanks for the wonderful note! I loved having you as a part of my special
day - I can't tell you how many people loved the salsa dancing - thank you
for such a wonderful energy you brought to the party! Please thank Marco as
well (he used to teach at Barry's Bootcamp, and the groom broke his arm in
his class! That's why we wanted Marco - we thought it'd be funny)

When Pekka moves here, we'd love to take some salsa lessons - so we'll
definitely be in touch - I know Rachel and Deborah might like to as well!

I will forward you an email link to the online wedding photos so you can
look - there's an amazing one of you being "dipped" by Marco!

xo,

Isabelle,

I saw you dance at the Hollywood Dance Studio about 2.5 weeks ago on a Friday evening. You're great! I've been meaning to take salsa lessons and watching you and your partner certainly increased my interest in taking the next step and actually set foot in a class so I can learn. I'm currently in the process of gathering a few friends that might be interested in taking the class with me. Hopefully we can start real soon. I'm a pretty outgoing person and I don't get embarrassed easily but some of my friends are the opposite. So my first question is what classes do you offer for beginners? I just want everybody to feel comfortable so they don't quit after the first class.

I enjoyed your Saturday styling class! The most
rewarding (in a sense that we learned something we can
apply immediately) styling class I've ever taken!

Nahoko

Isabelle,
The styling class on Saturday was just the BEST. I had a great time, learned
a lot and continue to be inspired by you. It has been a great delight to
watch you grow and expand as a business woman, teacher and performer over
the past six years. Yes, I have been around SALSA and you for six years.
Time for me to get really good at this. I hope you will make the styling
class a weekly event.

Carol Segrave

Dear Isabelle:

I also wanted to thank you for all the Salsa instruction I've gotten from you so far. I feel like I have learned so much. I went to one of Alma's classes with Reiko, one at Casa Escobar with you, danced 3 nights at the Mayan and went to 4 classes in your Wednesday night class. So, unbelievably, I've really only danced salsa on 9 separate nights including classes. So if I ever seem completely retarded, that's part of the reason why. Anyway, thank you thank you thank you. You have a wonderful way about you. I know how awful it can be to have health problems (especially ones that prevent you from doing what you love) and I wish you a speedy recovery with everything.

con amor,

Suzanne

Dear Isabelle,

Thank you so much for such an incredible performance and evening. You both were so great and everyone raved about you. Especially ME. I had such a great time at my party and the salsa really made it. You are so talented and I loved having you there to entertain all of us.

See you at class.

Sincerely con much amour,
Sandy Hudson

Isabelle!!!

I heard from the girls that yesterday's workshop on Ladies Styling was fantastic!! I am so bummed I missed it!! You must teach me some of those moves... we have to have a private lesson soon so I can brush up on my technique. In fact, I have been meaning to come back to Wednesday class (I miss it too!) to brush up on my technique and work on shines. I looooove shines.

A big hug to you

Pritti Ghandi

Isabelle,

Loved the styling class yesterday. I hope you will do it once a month. I really need some private time with you to really get on with it. Sorry if I missed your email about the pole dancing. How is it going?

Let me know your availability and fee for privates.

All the best,

Carol Segrave

Dear Isabelle,

I want to use this opportunity to thank you for being such a great salsa
trainer.
You have all the qualifications that one wants to see in a dance instructor.
You are very energetic, patient, and serious in training. At the same time,
you have such a beautiful personality that helps you create an enjoyable
and fun ambiance in the class. For the past few weeks, Sundays and Mondays
have been my most favorite days of the week. I will definitely recommend you
and your salsa class to my friends.

I am looking forward to our next session. Until then, I will be counting.

One, Two, Three,..Set Me Free!
Five, Six, Seven,.....Feels Like Heaven!

Thanks again,
Reza Habibi Los Angeles.

Isabella,

Good luck with your show-----I know you will be a great success, no matter how the show turns out------you asked me how you appeared to me in your newsletter---you appeared to me as a very sensitive and intense professional who loved what she did and equally loved those who worked with her----you appear to be a woman who gives her everything to everyone in her life----a woman who sees her friends and students as part of her family, and treats them as her family-----I also see an intensity to achieve perfection in everything she does---I see a woman who never lets the thought of failure ever enter her mind-----the achievement of perfection is the only driving force in your life--------I didn't grow up in a country other than the usa but I grew up in a very ethnic Polish community in Pittsburgh ---I grew up with very strong European thinking ---Every day we must strive to attain the ideal in everything we had to do-----we may not achieve that goal but the quest for it is what life is all about---------I have always looked at myself as Don Quixote searching for the ideal world-----I will never attain that quest but none will ever say that I didn't try------on the day I die I will smile and say to God Thank You for letting me search for the Impossible Dream----that dream has made my life worth living---that quest is what drives me ----when that desire dies then I have reason to live--------------I see in you the same desire----A woman searching for the Impossible Dream----Perfection in her profession----unattainable, but a wonderful drive to live for----you not only have his desire for yourself but you also instill this desire in those around you----the desire to be the best-------that’s what I see in your newsletter-----and I think that philosophy is the heart and soul of Isabella------------------that’s why I know you will be magnificent in your show next week-------Best of luck to my teacher and friend---

John Hucko, Pittsbrugh

Isabelle,

Sorry I will miss your birthday bash Isabelle. I have no
attendant care for Ryan this Sunday. I want to wish you the best and thank
you for all the great classes you have provided and for introducing me to
Salsa. Your passion is definitely contagious. You have such a great spirit
and are so generous to share with all of us. I know there will be a huge turn
out. Congrats on all your good work and longevity. Love

Diane Hill, Pacific Palisades

Dear Isabelle

Did I ever tell you that I find it wonderful to dance with you !?
I used to be afraid to ask you, because I got to know you as such a strict
(and good) teacher and hence kind of expected the same attitude if I dances
w/you. But then I realized that when you dance you do nothing but dance and
are giving partner.

Thanks for the nice dances :)

Dirk Heinrich, Los Angeles, CA 90036

Hi Isabelle,

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your dance class
at Casa Escobar on Sunday. Your personality really shines--I've never had
so much fun in a dance lesson! I'm sure you don't remember me, but I spoke
with you briefly after class and told you that I was planning on visiting
Argentina this year. I hope you have a great vacation there, and look
forward to another lesson with you one day soon.

Scott Hawyard, Los Angeles

Dear Isabelle;

I had a great time Sunday night at my 1st salsa class. You're awesome! Thanks for all your wonderful energy; you are a beautiful and inspiring spirit!
love and light dr.b.

Bonnie Hemauer

Dear Isabelle

I just wanted to say that it was an honor to finally dance with a legend such as yourself. I am just getting used to dancing on 2.

I have enclosed a picture of us taken from the workshop party.

I hope we can dance again. :)

Tony

Isabelle

Thank you for the dance lesson in LA-----I've never had the opportunity to "feel" how salsa can be felt-----Like I told you, when the music begins I feel that I am the music----even at my simplistic level of salsa----but you allowed me to fell how 2 people can become one with the music----thank you for sharing that feeling with me-------I don't know if I'll ever be back in L.A, but if I can, I'd love to do it again----except this time I'll feel confident enough to go out dancing. You brought out a side of me that I had not seen in a long time------you made me dance with feeling ----you started to show me how a man should feel when he dances with a beautiful woman who also loves the music----thank you for letting an old man "feel" his inner self------When I close my eyes I can feel how you felt and how you moved in my arms--that I will never forget------you gave me something few people can or will do---you let me dance with the heart and soul of Isabella------I may never remember all the steps you taught me, but I will never forget the "feeling" you taught me---

Best of luck in everything Superstar,

John

Hi Isabelle,

I took your intermediate class last Sunday at Casa, and I enjoyed your
teaching very much.
Thank you for a lovely lesson. Since your class was too much fun, I wanted
to take the
class at your academy tonight, but I was wondering how I should dress for
it. I was also
thinking of bringing a friend as a partner, but he still might be a
beginner... Is it all right if?
he joins in just for today?? I called the academy, but I got your voice
message instead.
If you get this e-mail sooner, could you kindly call me?

Thank you for your time, and hope to see you tonight!
