I started taking class at Malashock a year and a half ago, and I look forward to my dance days every week! Prior to Malashock, I had only been dancing dance for about two years, so I am always pretty intimidated walking into a new studio class. The Malashock teachers and students are warm, welcoming, and never made me feel like I wasn't good enough. Having taking some classes in the Bay Area with some rather egocentric dancers and harsh teachers, I was so surprised to find myself with a group of talented dancers who were down-to-earth and humble.
I take Erica Buechner's intermediate/advanced class on Saturdays and Mondays. She is an amazing teacher whose choreography is both fun and challenging. I feel like I have improved so much as a dancer learning from her.
I love everyone at Malashock - the students, the teachers, Molly (the education directory), and the company - some of the most wonderful people you'll ever meet! Whether you're a newbie to dance or a dance veteran, this studio has something for you! Single classes cost $15, but if you buy a 12 class pass, it's only $10/class. A 12-class pass for students - I still can't believe it - comes down to $8/class. Yes, incredibly affordable!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Malashock dance. They have great classes with wonderful teachers, in a supportive and creative environment.
If you are a seasoned dancer with years' experience or someone who is curious and has never taken a dance class in your life, there are classes for you. There are classes for all age groups and all levels. Their online schedule is kept up to date, you can just check their schedule and go to class, without having to preregister online, which is pretty nice.
Their studio is neat and clean, and lovely. You will often find yourself taking class next to one of the Malashock Dance Company dancers, and you'll feel like, hey they are awesome, hey wait, I am awesome! It is such a great studio! I feel so lucky to have found them! -

I normally don't like modern dance, but I went to go see "Shadow of Mercy" last weekend because my good pals Bernadette and Trystan were performing in it, and they hooked me for 2 for 1 tix for my wife and I. Thanks Friends!
I was honestly blown away! Have I just been watching mediocre and "bad" modern dance this entire time? The partnering work of the 2nd and 3rd pieces blew me away...mental note to self: work on upper body strength! The rest of the choreography was smooth, wellconnected, athletic, and beautiful; wheras most modern dances I've seen typically looks as if the dancers just got jacked up on Redbull, E and acid, then tossed on stage to do whatever they feel like.
The music was interesting and went well with the pieces and lighting; it was not the typical modern dance crazy tribal or gothic "churchy" music, both of which I can't stand. Unfortunately the last piece was "countryish" music, which did not fit with the rest of the show and seemed very out of place; good choreography wasted on a bad piece of music!
Overall, I was very impressed with the entire presentation will definitely be back to see future Malashock shows...maybe even take modern classes after a 9 year haitus... -

http://www.pbase.com/e... --- I saw this performance on Sunday, Stay the Hand. It was a beautiful expression and performance of ancient Persian poetry, contemporaray dance and Persian "techno music." Yes that is right, I know it sounds odd but I was fascinated by Malashock's Production. This is a San Diego based Dance Troupe who practice on NTC. I expect to see more great productions coming from this group.
They did some interesting intepretations of the poetry through dance.The set and the lighting was simple and did not detrack from the dancers.
Minus one star for the North Park theater for not cooling off the theater before the performance. It was very, very hot on Sunday and I was suffering from the heat. I felt badly for all the Senior citizens sitting there, a few of them left due to the heat... The dancers looked a little over heated also but it did not impact their performances.
Beautiful, if they do perform this again, I highly recommend seeing it with an open mind. -

AMAZING Children's Creative Dance Classes!!!! Molly, the children's dance teacher is endlessly patient, clear, and full of energy. She is the reason we drive all the way to NTC every Saturday for my daughter's creative dance class. This class offers creative movement as well as incorporating ballet, jazz, and other movement styles.
Our daughter started out in the younger class and moved up to the older kids class late last year. She LOVES class and especially Miss Molly!
We highly recommend any of Malashock's dance courses (but, especially the children's classes) 'cause they really are wonderful, creative souls who want to spread the joy of movement and dancing to everyone, or every age. Check them out sometime...they are really good at letting you "try out" a class to see if it works for you (or your child). That is worth a few bucks and peace of mind right there! -

Just started dancing again after a 2 year break. This is the most welcoming studio I've ever been to. Classes at all levels. The teachers and other dancers are so nice. Malashock has provided me with an atmosphere to find my skill level and work at my own pace without judgement. I can dance without fear and even laugh at myself a little while improving every class. Thank you Malashock! :-)

I danced a lot as a kid but hadn't been in a dance studio for about 10 years. When I moved to San Diego I wanted to find some dance classes for fun and was told about Malashock Dance by a friend. I've been taking the modern dance class with Erica since January and love it. It's been perfect. The class caters for all levels from first time dancers to experienced and you can get whatever you need from it. While there's good technical training during class there's also emphasis on having fun and enjoying the movement. The perfect balance of professional and fun and a great class for getting me back into dance!
