Truly enjoyed the class. I wanted to get back into watercolor painting and this class helped me along. So much that I'm tAking another class!
-
-
-
Great place and instructor.
-
-
The instructor had an amazing studio and was very kind and welcoming! The class wasn't as traditional as I had liked, I expected a bit more on color mixing and more about how the technique of watercolor is really supposed to be used. Nonetheless, I had a great time! She really allows her students to be independent and have fun with it. I think it's a great class for beginners because you just get to give it a go without any real pressure, but I'll admit I did feel a bit intimidated by her intermediate students who had paintings already half finished. The instructor is a very cool person and has a lovely studio, it was very inspiring. The materials provided were also top notch! I left with a great piece and a good feeling overall.
-
I enjoyed the class. I wish I had more time to truly grasp the concept of Watercolor. I thought the instructor would do a demonstration first so we’d know more or less where to start. Glad I took the course though.
-
-
The teacher was kind and welcoming and the space, materials, and lighting were excellent. She provided snacks in the middle of the 6-9 PM time slot--which makes sense--because it is during dinner time.
I was disappointed with the experience, though, because I didn't feel that the teacher really was able to help me LEARN. She briefly showed me techniques--but the task--to copy a picture--while she made squares and then divided up the photo into quadrants and told me to "draw it" in pencil and then I would use watercolor to complete it--felt beyond what I had been assigned to play with it ben was able to accomplish. Looking back, I wish I had been given a scrap piece of canvas and been told to play. Instead of the evening being relaxing (the teacher told me to "just have fun with it"), I felt disappointed that my work was more a reflection of the teacher's effort than my own.

Kareen has an amazing space for the watercolor class....an exceptionally large, extremely well lit room....each personal space for the student is wonderfully set up with a large palette, numerous brushes, water, tissues, paper.....all the finest...ARCHES and WINSOR NEWTON.
Also, there are folders of so many pictures, all gridded so ready for the person to draw on paper. Kareen is constantly walking around to be available to answer questions, demonstrate a technique, offer suggestions...
Definitely one of the most enjoyable three hours of watercolor. Do attend!

-
This class was amazing! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. All very talented painters. The instructor was incredibly patient and helpful. I feel like I really learned a lot!
-
Wonderful class that is well suited for all levels, in a beautifully lighted space with the best materials provided. The instructor Kaaren is very talented and will guide you through with all the patience and rigor needed!

Wonderful, highly skilled and imaginative teacher in a beautiful studio. Each student, whether beginning or advanced, is given individual instruction and encouragement. Kaaren Lewis inspires!

This was a great experience, even if you're completely new to watercolor, you go out being proud of your work !
Thank you !
-
The instructor is very talented, and while she will loosely guide you, she provides good tips and demonstrations. Great class!
-
Great tips on painting with watercolor, nice atmosphere, a nice group of students. The best painting class I've ever taken. Really enjoyable.
-
Great teacher and overall, great experience!
-
-
-

-

A really great place to learn more about watercolor. Karen is helpful, but gives the students lots of independence. It is not a typical class, no step by step guides but it helps you be able to take the skills you learned and use them when you come home. Definitely should try!
-
-
simply outstanding experience with karen! It was my 1st watercolor class and she inspired me and gave lots of hands-on attention. Informative, warm, and welcoming evening - can't wait to go back!
-
-
This art workshop was simply wonderful. I couldn't have spent my Sunday afternoon better! I loved the peace this environment gave me and the other artists who work around you are just lovely. You learn about technics how to use and mix the watercolors. I was amazed by the result of my 3 hour work!
Thank you a lot for this great experience!
-
The teacher is wonderful!!! I was impressed by my painting !!! I couldn't believe I was able to create a beauty!
Thank you so much!

An excellent and enjoyable class to learn about watercolor.

-
Great introduction to water color. Kaaren is a wonderful instructor!
-
-
-
Such a great experience! Perfect for all levels. Expect to come back 2-3 times to finish your painting.
-
-
Kaaren is a wonderful and supportive instructor!
-
-
Wonderful teacher, beautiful studio, and top quality materials are provided.
-

This was amazing and I am returning as soon as work permits.

I loved this class ! It was amazing! The teacher was fabulous. Would like to take it again :)
-
-
Wonderful teacher, with great expertise, and attention to every student. Th Studio is also lovely.
-
Wonderful instructor. Learned so much. She is such a delight. The time just flew! Loved it!
-
-
I had a wonderful experience. The instruction is excellent. The supplies are of the highest quality. The ambience is truly uplifting. My classmates were, to a student, intelligent and charming. Kaaren is that rare passionate and energized teacher who approaches each student as an individual Time flew. Best, VL

-
-
-
-
-
Highly recommend for those looking for an easy to follow class. Space is warm and inviting and small group so lots of personal attention (<6 people).
-
Kaaren is extremely friendly and helpful. The space for class is fantastic with very nice lighting. This isn't a true "class" where techniques are taught en masse but is instead a workshop where individuals (including a large number of regulars) work on their pieces with Kaaren's assistance.
-
-
-
-
Love the class. Will be coming back.
-
Wonderful workshop in relaxed and inspiring atmosphere.
-
-
I highly recommended this class!
-
-
I truly enjoyed he workshop and plan on going back. The instructor is very knowledgeable and provides sufficient attention to all participants. Loved the space!
-
-
-
Kaarin is an excellent teacher. Her method makes it easy for anyone new to watercoloring to get started and feel successful. The lovely studio is clean, well-lit, and well stocked. The class has a good mix of new and return students.
-
This class is incredible, a true amazing New York experience. The teacher is so kind and helpful, the classmates are all so encouraging. There's a great mix of beginners and people who have been studying for years. I can't recommend this class enough!!
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Focussed, inspiring, and fun as you learn. Wonderful teacher Kaaren Lewis balances instruction and technique with exploration and creativity at all levels.
-
Kaaren’s class was warm and welcoming. I enjoyed learning more about watercolor painting and it didn’t feel intimidating. I’m definitely going back for another painting class to do more!
-
-
-
Loved the class. The room is bright and sunny. The teacher is very welcoming.Professional art materials were provided. I enjoyed it. Thank you.
-
Enjoyed the class and learned a lot. This was our first time trying watercolor. Kaaren helped us select a suitable first time subject from hundreds of samples. Next we learned how to sketch in on the watercolor paper. Then she got us started painting. With lots of direction and a few tweaks from her we had a reasonably good looking first piece. I Highly recommend Village workshop.
-
-
A great environment to learn and improve on watercolor skills.
-
I wish was a smaller class
-
I LOVE this class! Kaaren is a great instructor, and the space is bright and light-filled to do your watercolor paintings. There are limited seats for each class, so I recommend booking far in advance.
-
Everything you are looking for in watercolor painting, and much more!
Wonderful teacher, materials, in an inspiring, delightful atmosphere.
-
-
The teacher was very knowledgeable and gave much individual attention. She used students" paintings to demonstrate techniques to the rest of the class. As a beginner in watecolor, I was very pleased.
-
Had a great time. She's a terrific and warm teacher. And I love my painting.
-
-
-
-
Great
-
-
-
Uniquely special class with Kaaren Lewis, artist/teacher, a small group, top notch materials, and a lovely studio.
-
I will definitely come back again!
-
Kaaren is a lovely and generous teacher/host who brings great energy and enthusiasm to any student's experience. I'm a complete watercolor (and art in general) novice and truly enjoyed my time, as well as the painting I brought home. Can't wait to be back!
-
Had a wonderful evening of painting in a bright open setting with a great teacher. All the materials are provided along with friendly advice and a cup of coffee!
-
I loved this class! The teacher was kind, helpful, and I had a lot of fun meeting the other women in the class, drinking coffee, eating snacks, and creating art.
-
Learned great techniques
-
-
-
-
I had so much fun in Kaaren's class! Very warm and welcoming, class size was perfect, and the space was beautiful. I could see this being a weekly routine for me. It's a relaxing and rewarding way to end your day.
-
-
Great instruction, pleasant environment, really nice group of students. Looking forward to taking it again.
-
-
Very relaxing, make the most of it class. Instructor was lovely and the location was beautiful. Pick your own art to learn watercolors!
-
Very good class. Teacher was warm and knowledgeable.
-
-
An excellent workshop!!! I learned a lot, had a great time and will definitely take the workshop again.
-
Instructor very welcoming and nice. Not a lot of step-by-step guidance, but still learned a lot.
-
-
-
Great class - you can go once to try it out or come back again and again.
-
-
My favorite place to relax and paint. Kaaren is the absolute best and makes you feel at home.
-

-
Super!
-
Nice!

Kaaren is lovely - so knowledgeable about watercolor and always makes herself available to students in need of some extra guidance. Would strongly recommend to a friend!
-
-
-
Great and fun class!
I could not believe that I would produce a really cute artwork at the end of the class
-
-
-
-
-
Great class! A lot of fun and all materials are provided as well, and no experience needed :)
-
Class is held in an creative friendly environment buffeted by excellent instruction and enhanced with constructive encouragement.
-
-
Karen is amazing, gifted and totally helpful. Shes got tons of tricks up her sleeve to share.
-

-
Favorite class!!!
-
Class was delightful, engaging and purposeful, as always,
-
The instructor was wonderful, and I did have a nice time. I thought the course would be more basic learning about layering, brushes, mixing color, etc. I was surprised that I had to actually drawer the picture I chose to paint. There are some benefits to being thrown in to the big picture straight away, but I was not looking for a drawing class. I'm sure if I returned I would be taught more about the things I want to learn, but the open forum format for me as a beginner wasn't great.
The class was mostly regulars, all of whom were very nice, but with 1 instructor and 3 newbies, I felt she was a bit stretched.
-
-
-
-
-
The class was wonderful! Had a great time and learned some new techniques.
-
-
Although the class was filled with mostly regulars the instructor was good about going around and helping our us newbies. She took her time with each of us to make sure that we where comfortable with her instruction but most importantly she wanted to make sure that we were enjoying the process. Everyone in the class was warm and welcoming and I look forward to attending another class to finish my project.
-
-
Excellent class for all, beginners to advanced students.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
A thoroughly enjoyable class with Kaaren in her beautiful studio. Kaaren is friendly and encouraging, and gives every student personal attention. She provides the best materials for the class. I do find the class a little pricey as 1 class was not enough for me to finish a painting and I'll have to go back to complete it.
-
-
-
I've always wanted to learn more about watercolor painting and am so glad I signed up for this class! The instructor gave me lots of individual attention and feedback to help me get started. Everyone in the class was friendly. I will definitely be signing up for more watercolor classes!
-
-
Teacher is amazing! I cannot say enough good things about her classes. She helps you with the foundation of watercolor and she will also help you improve your painting beyond what you think you can do.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Beautiful studio, supportive, generous professional instruction and inspiring students. I'll be a repeater!
-
I am ecstatic about my recent still life painting and feel so much more confident thanks to Kaaren's enthusiastic support.
I look forward to resuming classes in the fall.
-
-
I really enjoyed the class which was held in a relaxing and welcoming space. I left with a finished painting and found the materials provided to be very high quality. I had expected more skills to be explicitly taught and would have liked more instruction to the group as a whole - it often felt like you had to listen in to what someone else was being told in order to pick up tips! I certainly had a good time but am not sure that I would find it worthwhile to return unless there was a more structured learning environment where I knew what specific skills/techniques I should know by the end of the class.
-
-
-
-
Wonderful teacher, and creative atmosphere a lovely space.
-
-
Great class - the classes are kept small so the instructor can be really hands on with each person. She helps you set up and teaches you basics and guides as you paint.
-
-
-
-
-
-
A wonderful class, with only 9 students, where teacher/artist Kaaren Lewis helps everyone learn and create according to their individual level, while enjoying a group focussed with love of painting in Watercolor. With her encouraging yet discerning aproach, Kaaren brings amazing insight, and skills to guide each student.
-
Wonderful experience.
-
-
-
Happy day.
-
Watercolor wonderful. Great coffee too!
-
-
-
Loved it! Kaaren is so supportive and encouraging. She makes you feel as if you really are artistic. It's more about the process than the finished product.
-

Instructor was lovely and the class is a lot of fun. Recommend!
-
-
-

-
-
Class size should be much smaller. Didn't feel as though we accomplished any of the learning objectives.
-
Excellent instructor
-
-
-
-
-
Class is set in the perfect environment to explore ones hidden talents.
-
-
Karen's studio is so peaceful and warm. This class blends hands-on learning with a degree of autonomy. You pick what you'd like to paint, and Karen will help you along. Good vibes!
-
Amazing class in a very fun and interactive atmosphere. Will abosutely go back to bring another beautiful paint home! I definitely recommend.
-
-
-
-
-
Kareen is great- patient, organized and a very good teacher. Nice introduction to watercolor.
-
-
Great teacher and excellent studio space; all supplies really are included!
-
-
-
Good class, for six individuals, not nine!
-
-
-
-
-
-
Karen is super kind, warm and welcoming. She makes her students feel at ease and gives them one on one guidance. I enjoyed her class and would go again!
-
Loved this class so much! Kaaren was amazing and will definitely be taking another class. Learned So many new things and took home a finished piece at the end of class.
-
-
-
-
-
The class was fun and I learned about watercolor. The teacher made sure that we were enjoying the experience as well.
Nice and spacious work areas with all supplies needed easily accessible.
Fun!!!
-
-
Class is infused with vitality and zest.
-
-
-
Great class....lots of independent work time. Sometimes Kaaren gets distracted with other students so you have to wait your turn but she's very sweet and helpful. Feels like a family!
-
-
-
-
Really fun course!
-
-
-
Having participated in 3 continuous classes, like good wine, they only improve with time.
-
This class was excellent! I cannot wait to come back again.
-
-
-
Great class! As a beginner, I was a little worried about being able to keep up with the class, but it really does cater to all levels. Kaaren makes sure that each person gets some one-on-one help/advice from her. She's welcoming, kind and patient! I'll definitely be returning for another session.
-
-
I really enjoyed this class. The artist's loft is gorgeous, the art studio is spacious, and her cats are so cute! Her approach to teaching watercolor is a little different than you might expect - rather than take you through the basics of mixing and diluting colors, she has you choose an image from her image library and copy it into your own watercolor painting. She walks around to students giving tips and tricks. I actually learned a lot from her in one session and ended up with a finished painting, which surprised me. Most people though will probably take more than one session to finish their paintings, depending on how complicated it is.
-
-
-
-
Kaaren is the best, hands down. I'm so happy to have discovered her class. All the students adore her, and in one class it's easy to see why. I always look forward to her class.
-
-
-
Well organized session logistically (materials, lighting, work space and ambiance) combined with patient, constructive instruction makes this watercolor painting class a worthwhile experience.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Teacher was so patient to help and answer my questions. Enjoy this class.
-
Kareen was a great teacher and made you feel right at home. The class was fun and small enough that you can get 1-1 attention. I learned a bunch of things I didnt know before and will be coming back. Thanks!!
Couple notes:
- There is a cat around the studio, so be aware of that if you have bad allergies
- You will likely not finish your piece of work in one shot, so be aware of that OR pick a really easy picture to do
- You can bring a picture to base your art off of if you want
-
The teacher is fantastic! Can't wait to take the next class.
-
-
Excellent class!
-
-
Great class! Will be back.
-
-
This is a fabulous class. The instructor is amazing and knowledgeable about watercolor techniques very welcoming and it's a small comfortable group.
-
-
-
-
Terrific and enjoyable
-
-
-
I love this class. Each time I learn something new to apply to my painting. Kaaren Lewis is a great instructor.
-
I love this class! The instructor is knowledgable, so sweet, and I've learned a lot. Great materials and location too!
-
-
The class was great. All the needed supplies was provided. I went home with a work of art the first night. The instructor took the time to teach and even provided coffee.
-
Love the class!
-
Kaaren was absolutely wonderful to have as an instructor. She creates such a warm, inviting, and supportive environment for everyone. I told her I'll be going back, and other students said the same!
-
Kaaren is the absolute best. I always look forward to going
-
I was so happy I took this class. My first time ever doing watercolor painting and with help from the wonderful and generous Kaaren, I actually could take home a painting!
I've signed up for another session.
-
The class is a bright spot in my day.
-
I loved this class. I learned some great tips and Kaaren was a great instructor.
-
-
Great class
-
-
-
Excellent!
-
-
-
Kaaren is so warm and welcoming. I am a complete beginner and she was able to make me feel comfortable and capable in just one class. I will be attending again!
-
Delightful atmosphere, fun to learn.
-
-
-
Kaaren is the best!
-
-
Wonderful workshop
-
Love it every time!! Kaaren literally makes you feel at home with coffee, tea, cookies, and is super helpful and supportive with painting!
-
-
I love Kaaren's personal attention. She will work one one one with you. Yet, with that she also has to give her attention to other students so sometimes you have to wait for her to finish with other students. Luckily, most students are regulars so they just work independently. As a new student I needed more guidance which she gave, along with some snacks and coffee too. That's a little extra something nice even if you don't eat anything. I also can eat my dinner there; it's a causal atmosphere.
-
Wonderful class. The atmosphere is low key and pleasant. The material are topnotch and the teacher is kind and knowledgeable. I didn't have any experience with watercolor, but learned a lot in 3 hours.
-
Loved the class.
-
-
I truly enjoyed the class and the teacher was very hands on. Cant wait to take the next class.
-
-
I always enjoy taking Kaaren's class. She's wonderful and very helpful.
-
-
Another great class with Kaaren. This is my 6th time attending and I decided to do something more challenging. Kaaren was there to support me all the way through. I also love all the people who attend! Will definitely book again.
-
Very enjoyable learning experience.
-
-
-
I couldn't recommend Kaaren enough. She was a friendly teacher who made me feel right at home in her class. She was helpful explaining the watercolor process and setting us up with all the materials. She was available for one-on-one instruction but also let us be creative with our paintings. I ended up with a great painting and even better experience trying something new.
-
Love the class!
-
-
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
-
Loved it!

-

-
-
Terrific workshop!
-
-
I had a lovely time, working intensely to finish a painting I had started and felt really good about the finished painting. I think I've learned a lot!
-
-
-
-
-
I think this watercolor workshop is terrific -- I learn AND I have fun!
-
This workshop is my version of meditation: for the time I am here, I think of nothing but my painting. I love the space, the teacher, the entire vibe.
-
Will take class again
-
Kaaren is amazing! Truly she is so encouraging, kind, helpful and an amazing artist! I highly recommend her class to anyone and everyone.
-
-
I learn and I enjoy it -- what more to ask? Watercolor is wonderful, and Kaaren is a delight!
-
Love Kaaren. She's so knowledgeable and helpful and kind. Great experience !
-
Kaaren is wonderful and supportive and allows for a freedom and joy in the work.
-
-
Great class -- just the right balance of learning and fun!
-
I thoroughly enjoyed this class; watercolors are magical and Kaaren makes them come alive. I learned a lot.
-
For not being an artist, I am coming out with pretty good watercolor paintings. I have been learning techniques and feel that I am having fun while learning. Our Teacher Kareen is fabulous and has a lot of patience, I usually make mistakes and she help me fix them.
-
-
I like the class, the teacher and the environment!
-
-
Great class. Wonderful atmosphere and friendly, very helpful teaches.
-
-
I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop and feel I learned a lot!
-
Such a beautiful class and teacher! I found a place I can call home for my first guided art classes. With simple direction I was able to create art that I never have been able to create before. My friends didn't believe I painted it, which was sad but flattering at the same time :)
-
-
A totally enjoyable class with a wonderful teacher in a supportive and conducive-tô-learning environment
-
Delightful class -- the perfect combination of serious learning, and fun. Kaaren is knowledgeable (and wonderfully talented hereself), supportive, and inspires me to keep coming back.
-
This is a wonderful way to learn watercolor in an enjoyable, supportive atmosphere.
-
I came back after a hiatus and realized how much I missed this wonderful workshop -- I forget everything besides the painting in front of me!
-
Kareen is an excellent teacher. This is perfect class for a beginner or expert.
-
Lovely!
Our instructor even gave me advice and various books I may purchase to help me along the way!
I will definitely sign up for another class when I can! :)
-
Love this class
-
Kaaren does a nice job spending time with each student but much of the time is spent painting on your own. I appreciated that she was focused on getting us into painting right away, just a quick demo and had us on our way! It's a great space and Kaaren provides all the materials you would need in class. Great class and I plan to go again!
-
-
-
I enjoyed this class very much. Great hands on instruction and plenty of opportunity to explore.
-
Amazing!
-
Wonderful way to spend a freezing night in NYC.
-
This is a lovely, helpful, enjoyable way to learn or improve watercolor painting -- personally my favorite medium!

Thoroughly enjoyed this class. Everyone goes at their own level, the teacher offers supportive and helpful tips, the atmosphere is serious and fun at the same time.

The teacher really explained everything from beginner to expert. Very pleasant atmosphere. Very congenial group.

This class offers everything you need to learn watercolor and have fun doing it.

Loved the class and I feel I'm learning a lot. Help when you want it, or work alone when you want that.

Each time I attend, I learn something new, and it's a wonderful experience. A lovely, supportive teacher and environment.
-
So happy to be there to do what I love most in a happy loving space.

-
Loved this class. I went from total beginner to drawing something and painting!!
-
The wonder of watercolor! I am so enjoying learning the many ways it can be used to create beautiful paintings, and Kaaren is just terrific, helping each person according to their level and objectives.
-
-
Kaaren's own talents and her love of the medium create an atmosphere that brings out the best in everyone!
-
Very enjoyable. I was very inexperienced and felt free to just dive in and then got plenty of instruction as I went. It's a very relaxed and creative atmosphere and I look forward to returning and continuing to work on my craft.
-
Kaaren is amazing!
-
Kaaren is an excellent teacher and creates a very safe place to be creative. Super fun. Great for a total beginner or an advanced artist. I will definitely be going back!
-
This was my 3rd class at the village workshop and it wont be my last. The studio is beautiful with amazing light. Kaaren is so welcoming and thoughtful. Everyone is working at their own pace. You will have brand new students as well as students who have been going for years. Its a real relaxing 3 hours. Well worth it!
-
Yes, I love this class. Watercolor is challenging, but Kaaren is a terrific teacher and helps to make it fun.
-
This class may not be for the most absolute beginner, but Kaaren is patient and provides very great guidance and materials.
-
Kaaren is showing me new techniques every time I attend. She is terrific at making suggestions and totally supportive.
-
Very very interesting how this class gives me the nerve to try new things and discover the magic of watercolor. I love it!
-
-
I think Kaaren is a wonderful teacher who is sensitive to the very different needs of each student.
-
-
A wonderful workshop to learn and experiment in this amazing medium -- in a supportive and delightful environment.
-
-
The class is great and the teacher is super encouraging. I had a wonderful experience.
-
I feel I am learning a great deal and thoroughly enjoy my time in the class!
-
Incredible class! Kaaren is a great instructor. It took me two classes to complete my painting. It was so much fun and I am planning on coming to this class at least once a month.
-
-
-
-
I thoroughly enjoyed the class and am learning new techniques for watercolor painting, which I love.
-
Great instructor. Very patient and class moves at a relaxed pace. Highly recommend!

This course was great! Kaaren is a very warm, welcoming instructor. A nice way to relax and learn as you go along.
-
This is an excellent workshop no matter what level you're on. The teacher is there to help if you want it, or to let you be when you don't. I thoroughly enjoy it.
-
-
I enjoy the energy of the group. The teacher is quick to help and listens to everyone. The coffee is fabulous.
-
I loved the warm, friendly, helpful atmosphere. The evening light is amazing especially when the Empire State building glowso on my art work. Kareen is very inspiring and super helpful.
-
Lots of fun and I learned so much. Excellent nstructor who helps everyone whenever they need it, but allows the students their own time and space too. Top-quality materials included as well in the 3-hour class. Definitely a worthwhile experience and I'll be doing it again.
-
Lot's of fun!!!
-
-
What a fun and enriching way to spend a few hours!

I thought the teacher was excellent and supportive. The materials provided were also excellent and well thought out. Everyone in the class was lovely. I just so happened to be the only beginning that day and it was a bit challenging for that reason.
-
the class was wonderful and the teacher was outstanding and a very skilled artist.
-
I enjoy this workshop and feel I am learning a lot!
-
The size of the class and level of instruction were intimate. All the materials provided were generous and of high quality. Most importantly, the instructor was helpful and gave examples which both helped but left the individual's personal style intact. The whole experiencexperience was very positive!
-
Kaaren is a good teacher and is a generally warm and supportive instructor and presence in the classroom. The class is a good way to flex one's watercolor muscles with support.

Very enjoyable learning experience!

Both fun and instructive -- very enjoyable class!

Kaaren is amazing! There are students of all types of levels and she gives each and everyone one of them the time they deserve. I love this class and would return if it wasn't for my server allergy to cats (a nice black kitty came to visit during the middle of the class). Highly recommend this class.

I managed to squeeze in 4 classes during our 4 month stay in the city and am so sorry I didn't get in more !! Kaaren is a wonderful teacher and so very patient with multiple levels of students. We never had more than 8 students so she has plenty of time to move around and give individual instruction. She is very encouraging and is also a gracious host. Will most definitely schedule another class when we are back in NYC for a visit!!!!'
