My friend suggested I do this class with her because I’ve had ALOT going on. We went to the introduction class and I was sooo nervous. However, as the class continued I experienced a confidence I never have before! I felt free, liberated, beautiful, and confident in my body!
Update: owner responded and offered a credit to try at a higher level. Reflected review. I will second the review I saw here stating that this a great place for true beginners but doesn’t seem like it caters much to people who have prior aerial experience and who want to experiment or flow.
I love this studio! It provides a wide range of classes for complete beginners to experienced dancers. My favorite classes are Tuesdays with Karol and Saturdays with Red.
