Started pole here a couple weeks back and I love it! Kelly (pole instructor) is super nice, really knows her stuff and is encouraging 🙂 I’m very happy with the progress I’ve made in such a short amount of time! The studio is also doing a really good job during this whole COVID situation 💖— Phoebe Lo
This place was so welcoming as a first timer. The space is cool and feels almost hidden which makes you feel comfortable! Cool selection of classes!— Cyan Lepore
The basic step is simple and most beginners have it within a lesson or two. Timing and partner connection are the parts that grow with practice.
Yes, beginner salsa assumes no experience at all. Complete non-dancers are usually moving to the rhythm before long.
It certainly is, and adult beginner ballet classes are common. Ballet develops posture, control and strength at your own pace.
There is no upper age limit for recreational ballet, and adults begin at all stages of life. Only professional training is age-sensitive.
Common basics include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. Most beginner dances recombine these same moves.
Short, repetitive four-wall routines are the easiest starting point. Ask the studio which beginner dances they teach first.
