Frank Yang

Frank Yang has enjoyed drawing and painting all his life. During his teens he had the good fortune to study with several fine artists. However, art did not seem to be the best career choice at that time, so he abandoned his love for art and attended Cal State Los Angeles where he ultimately received a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Science. His college education resulted in his working in various industries including work place risk management for an insurance company.

Frank’s passion for drawing and painting never ceased and when he was presented with an opportunity to work as a portrait and caricature artist at Disneyland Theme Park arose, he jumped at the chance. This work for Walt Disney Productions paved the way for focusing on his artistic talent.

Frank’s unique approach to oil painting has resulted in increasing sales of his paintings, and has made him a consistent award winner at art shows, and a popular demonstrator for art clubs. All of which has led to commissions for a variety of subject matter, including portraits and family pets.

His affiliations include The American Society of Portrait Artist and San Gabriel Fine Arts Association. A popular artist at all events, Frank is a favorite at fine art shows all over the Southern California area.

 Sylvia Escobar

Zumba Instructor

I have been teaching group exercise since 1991. I teach many different formats that I have enjoyed teaching all these years but, Zumba is the format that has really lifted my motivation for teaching again. I am very happy to be able to make a difference when I teach Zumba because the members have fun, get fit, loose pounds and learn a few dancing moves every time. Come and have the time of your life!!

Arden Ebalo 

Arden has always been entranced in the musical arts ever since childhood.  He
loved to entertain through singing, dancing, or acting in the theatre back in
his birthplace in Subic Bay, Philippines.  He focused on Salsa dancing when
he took ballroom dancing classes.  With the guidance of Lana Osa, who he
looks up to as her mentor, he pursued Salsa with more vigor that he is now a
salsa dance instructor.  Although fairly new in the salsa teaching world, he
already has won "Best Teacher Award" and voted "Favorite Teacher" at the 2008
Star Ballroom Showcase where he taught for two years. 

 He is definitely full of energy and you will never get bored with his classes. His goal is to put a smile on every students' face and gain that confidence to be able to dance in public or performance.

He is currently teaching Salsa at Lai Lai Dance Studio, The Alhambra, Quest Learning Center and at Milly Frank Arts Studio.  He is also the director of Quest Salsa Crew and looking for dancers who would like to join the team.

He has painted over 1000 portraits, many of which were of the Philippine leaders of commerce, industry and politics. For years he has been conducting workshops throughout California.
