This studio just feels comfortable for ALL levels of dancers...and dancers from ALL walks of life. The K-Pop class was super fun and Alice was very patient, taking her time to make sure no one was left behind and everyone was having a great time! You can tell she loves what she does!

Nikki is encouraging, fun and truly inspiring. I was super nervous before my first class, but she quickly put me at ease and has become one of my very favorite fitness instructors. The space is inviting and safe and a place where you can just do YOU!
