“Omg class was on fire this am. I’m loving it! Boom!”

“Hi Tatiana,
Ok I have not been able to decompress from the fabulous time. I have been a witness to the effects Booiaka has had on instructors and that is my desire to always strive to be better and staying true to myself, being me, giving part of me to my students. I have a plan set and embrace the process of personal growth.
I thank the world of Tatiana and her vision. Hope that I will make a difference in people’s lives as you have done to me! This comes from a place of truth.
With great admiration”

“What I see Tatiana is a strength and fire in you. I see you holding on to your integrity and passion and working hard -honoring this and how the struggle has shaped and strengthened you as a person. It is a joy to see you be `embodied` and express who you are!
It is also a gift to encourage and empower others to enable them to step into these parts of themselves also. For me in my work I see daily how the fear/shame can shut a person down and that they feel too afraid to take the risk of opening up again, too afraid to risk movement. I see how what you have to offer Tatiana is a way of empowering people to believe in themselves and realize they can `move` and that they have the ability to be in their bodies and they can feel able to make other changes in their lives.
You are a beautiful, talented woman Tatiana. I am also and you are encouraging me to step into and own more of my own beauty and joy of moving in my own body and in moving in the world.”

“I am from Texas and I just wanted to write you in the chance hopefully you may actually read this so I could tell you how AWESOME you and the whole Booiaka family are. First off just to be honest… I have no clue how I happened upon your page…or Booiaka…lol. However, I am flipping stoked that I did. You are WAY WAY BEYOND AMAZING and INSPIRING!!!! I am 31, music and dance is something that I LOVE and has always played a BIG part in my life especially growing up. It’s been my outlet, my release, my way to express myself, be it writing music or dancing. I lost touch with it though, I haven’t even attempted to dance since my surgery, my dumb ass joined the U.S. Army when I was 22 and I now have a basically bionic leg, they drilled the center of my bones out and replaced them with titanium…eh. I have had a hard time recovering and doing normal things like running and jumping. My health has suffered because of it, I’ve gained a lot of weight, I had severe depression. In my younger days I took dance classes from the time I was 5 until around 13. The first time I heard about Booiaka I sat for about 5 + straight solid hours watching videos, learning about it and was just completely amazed at all the peoples lives you’ve touched, the whole movement is killer and not lame like a lot of the others have been. It’s something that you inspire people to be passionate about, it’s something to have fun with, it doesn’t matter your age, or weight, or gender, it’s about just having fun and loving what you’re doing.
So…I just wanted to say thank you so much for creating Booiaka, and for inspiring me to re-ignite my passion for dance and music again. You have helped me so much, I am thankful and grateful . You are someone I look up to. BooLove <3”
