Some of our experienced instructors include:

Michelle Marx (Canasta)
Michelle's lifelong love of canasta began in childhood, when her mother and cousins played for hours gathered around the kitchen table. Certified by the Canasta League of America, Michelle is a sought-after private canasta instructor in NYC. She frequently donates her time to teach canasta for several charitable organizations. Michelle teaches canasta to seniors at 92Y and is excited to start a new community of players here at the JCC.

Julie Azous (Mah Jongg)
Julie Azous is a skilled and patient mah jongg teacher with over 20 years’ experience.  Her passion for the game has been called contagious by many of her students. Julie currently teaches at the JCC and other institutions, as well as privately around the city.
