Certification Brochure

Michelle Vrakelos is a professionally trained dancer at

the highest level. She was awarded a scholarship at the

most prestigious and selective dance school on the

West Coast, EDGE Performing Arts Center in Hollywood,

California. After her intensive training at EDGE Michelle

got hired by several famous dance companies led by

some familiar choreographers like Shane Sparks of

“So You Think You Can Dance” and Eddie Garcia who

has worked with Michael Jackson, Paula Abdul, and

Sheryl Crow. Michelle then established an international

presence by joining the 90’s fitness phenomenon Tae Bo

with Billy Blanks. She regularly taught to packed classes

of more than 100 people and alongside Billy Blanks

inspired the soldiers of the U.S. Armed Forces.

In 2008, Michelle opened a first of its kind fitness studio in

Los Angeles, M6 Fitness, where she took her 25 year

background in dance to create a unique fusion

between modern ballet and athleticism. This fresh and

fun approach created a fitness frenzy with lines out the

door, attracting attention from celebrities, Gabriella

Reese, Kymm Douglas, Kellie Martin, Brittany Daniels and

more as well as people from all over the West Coast.

After inspiring thousands of people to embrace a

healthy lifestyle through movement and

self-acceptance, Michelle decided to create a

platform so anyone in the world could get a workout

that would not only change their body but their life.

M6 Movement's ability to combine athletically infused dance with sensual fluid movements gives the

M6 Movement’s signature classes, SPLASHBARRE ™ , SHAPEBARRE ™ , STRIPBARRE ™ , PARTYDANCE ™,

PARTYBOX ™ and CANDLELIGHT MOVEMENT ™ an edge on the Dance/Barre/Fitness Industry.

M6 Movement never imitates or repeats the same class twice, we CREATE and through our creations

we generate a magic that not only fills bodies in rooms but provides a personal connection to

change a life from the inside out.

M6 Movement is about changing lives and creating a "Movement" in the fitness industry.

M6 Movement focus is on healthy living with a positive self-image while experiencing the ultimate

and complete cardio workout.

Music – Playing the right music is vital to your success. Music is energy and energy creates

motivation and motivation creates results.

Motion - Getting people up and moving is a formula. When you walk in a room full of people you will learn

to feel the energy and will execute sequences of movement that will best accommodate your clients

on that day. Generic is boring but creativity is exciting.

Meals - Remember that more than half of the battle with weight loss is food. By learning how to teach

amazing classes and furthering your knowledge of nutrition you will elevate yourself/your facility to the

next level of instruction. M6 Movement has a full Nutritional Program that offers a Traditional, Grain Free

and Vegetarian options.

Motivation - In our program you will learn that although there are many ways to motivate individuals to

exercise the number one way to create a family-like class is to engage with each client. People want

to feel encouraged not forced, accomplished not ridiculed and most importantly happy not frustrated.

Mind - During M6 class development we focus on understanding the positive mental escape that people

feel during that one hour where they have no distractions. As an instructor you are taught the

importance of coming in ready to perform, entertain and genuinely show interest in each client.

Me “You” – This last “M” is why M6 is here. We are all ordinary people that have so many insecurities. It

doesn’t matter how much success you have generated in your life we all have little things that get us

down. Whether that is caused by today's social media craze or life's surroundings it truly can be

detrimental to the success and growth of a person. Preaching beauty from within and using exercise as

a formula to guide people to a healthier, happier more confident life is so important.

Introducing the 6 “M’s”
