Amazing place! Great teachers and so many fun classes I want to try!…read more Unlike so many people I know, I never took dance growing up, However I have always enjoyed movement and wished I could dance actual steps. All that to say I was super intimidated to take the plunge now, in my late 30s. I started with a Saturday afternoon line dancing workshop. I was immediately put at ease by the friendliness and the diversity of ages, sizes, and shapes of people that I found taking the class with me. After my wonderful experience at the workshop, I signed up for beginning modern jazz. Tracey Durbin is an amazing teacher! I was up-front with her about my lack of experience and nervousness. She put me at ease by reminding me that everyone is here to have fun, period. I have now signed up for my second session and I have no plans to stop!

There aren't may dance classes in Durham for adults. That's what drew me to Ninth Street Dance. I…read moregrew up dancing and continued performing in college. When I graduated, it was hard to find a dance studio to take lessons. Ninth Street Dances offers classes in a variety of styles, techniques, and flavors. You can take a dance technique class or a movement/fitness class. I've taken an eight-week hour-long modern and contemporary. I've also taken the dancehall workshop (one three-hour class) which was high-energy and a lot of fun. Most of the adult classes were at night, which was great to attend after work. (This was before COVID-19, of course.) Now classes are virtual. I recently signed up for a virtual mediation class that will take place for four weeks during my lunch break -- perfect while I'm working from home. Other classes offered -- 90's cardio funk, tap, ballet, bhangra, twerk, hip hop, afrobeat and so many more! Here's the link to the class schedule: https://ninthstreetdance.com/classes/

The vibes were great, the playlist was awesome, and the workout was even better! I do lots of barre and yoga, so I figured this would be in a similar vein, but I was so wrong. I was sore (in a good way!) in muscles I didn't know I had! Riley's teaching style was super approachable and she gave lots of options for modifications to accommodate any injuries or discomfort. Honestly, I liked my experience here so much that I'm thinking about getting ClassPass just to add The Cube into my regular rotation.

The parking is a little strange being behind the building I'd recommend entering through the front (I accidentally came in via the back door and therefore was a bit confused where to check in and the board has all the info you need)! Great class and loved the 90s playlist - lots of energy and worked all aspects of the body in one go. I cannot speak the the price of classes as I was introduced to the studio via class pass but it was a great experience and I'd love to drop in occasionally

Walking into Legacy I have never had that experience. Each new person is brought into our family. I have been going to this studio for 9 years and each year brings new experiences, great people, and a whole lot of fun. I've found myself wanting to explore every form of dance that has ever been created and goodness knows this studio has no shortage of them. I'm amazed that in 9 years I have not only expanded on my technique but I never ran out of things to learn.

I have physical disabilities and took dance for many years growing up, but it can be hard to find an inclusive experience as an adult. Davis Dance Company is just that. I love their musical theater happy hour classes, and the drop in options they have without committing to a regular class schedule. I have always felt welcome, and the vibes have always been positive. I'm making it a goal to go more regularly in the new year, and I recommend anyone who is curious about dance or wants to let their creative side shine, check it out!

Truly can't say enough about the teachers (recent alums from Eastern Carolina and sisters!). They're so sweet and do a great job with all of their classes. I can't wait to see them take off once the world discovers this gem of a studio!

Jordan, the owner is outstanding…read more Recently we started with Ashley, because so that I could come for individual lessons with her in addition to our regular lesson. Both these instructors are outstanding and some of the best I have experienced in the last 12 years we have been taking lessons. Ashley is patient, emotionally supportive, and able to break silver level steps into small parts that we eventually put together into whole steps. We have progressed a lot because of this. Plus, there is teaching charm and etiquette so that any woman I dance with has a positive experience not matter what their level of skill. The other dancers there are a friendly group that always welcomes any newcomers. The men dance with all the women, and the women feel comfortable asking men to dance. It's such a pleasant supportive atmosphere, especially in the Friday practice dances. We have tried other dance studios and consider Move with Grace the best.

It really is a fun and positive environment.

I was really excited when the new Pure Barre Durham opened in the new Shops at Erwin Mill shopping…read morecenter. I've checked out other barre places around the Triangle, and this one was right by my house! The class is exactly what you'd expect from a Pure Barre class (scripted, a routine you would know). You enter the studio, sign in, and set up inside the room. Barre socks are a must, so bring some with you. There are bathrooms both outside and inside of the actual room, and only one wall has a mirror - so you aren't forced in front of one if you don't want it. Both classes I took started late, which is annoying, but it was the first week they were open. I definitely think it takes more than once class to feel the workout - you'll spend the whole first class just understanding what's going on, so if you have the opportunity, a class package is the way to go. I purchased the 4 classes for $40 newcomers special (14 days to use). Unfortunately some of the days the studio was closed due to snow, but the owners were more than accommodating about adding a few days back onto the pass to cover it. However, it was nearly impossible to get into a class! Even a full week ahead of time, I could not get into a class or on a wait-list - AT ALL (I'm talking the entire weekend was full). So despite the owner's accommodation with adding a few days on to the package, I was only able to use two classes anyway. My suggestion: If you have time to take class during the off-peak hours (mid-day? I have no idea) then it's worth it, but otherwise, any kind of package that can expire might not be worth your money. This might be due to the fact that they just opened a few weeks ago, so hopefully as they hammer out a better schedule, include more classes, etc. this won't be an issue.
