The classes that Mary Ellen teaches are exceptional. She is knowledgeable about her craft and the body mechanics used in exercise physiology.
However, the studio is not clean, bathrooms are always out of order and if the toilet works, the hand dryer does not.
I would ask that the floors of the studios be dry/dust mopped each evening or morning before the days classes begin. The floors are covered with hair and dust.
