What people say about VMAC:

​"Vitalidad is a wonderful studio.  I appreciate that it is a Movement Arts Center that includes various kinds of practices including Latin social dances, zumba and yoga.... 
 I personally want a really sophisticated learning experience but it also needs to be FUN. They have mastered the balance. The Portland community is very lucky to have Carolina and Jamal back from NYC."
