My best friend surprised me with an invite to see Dracula with the Louisville Ballet. In my 50…read moreyears I'd never seen a ballet! Right away the experience felt different from other theater performances - a smaller venue at The Brown Theatre, guests with elevated attire, robust programs, different performers for the matinee versus evening show. Louisville has a longstanding ballet group. Recently a new artistic director has joined the team - a Kentucky native. His time on the stage plus the program details were a nice intro. Thankfully I knew the story of Dracula, but wished I'd have read the program prior to the production. It provided summaries of each scene. Comparing what I'd watched plus the dancing was a beautiful match. Follow their social media to learn about upcoming shows and see practice sessions. Yearly subscriptions are also available for its biggest fans. Great experience to enjoy or gift to give. Parking available in downtown garages or meters. The Louisville Ballet performs at the Brown Theatre, which is intimate (and more cramped) compared to other spaces.

We were so blessed to be able to catch the sold out choreographer's showcase here! I am a huge fan…read moreof The Nutcracker but I've been wanting to expand my horizons and add more beauty into my life. I signed up for the Louisville Ballet newsletter, and when I saw the choreographer's showcase coming up I thought this would be an awesome event where the choreographers and dancers wouldn't be limited to predetermined elements in their performances. The event exceeded my expectations! Everything, from the dancers, to the music, to the lighting, to the costumes, was so thoughtful. We really loved seeing what these artists could do when unbound. I hope to attend many more performances and continue to support the arts, really what makes life worth it. Highly recommend!

I joined Suspend in August 2018, so I have been attending classes regularly for a little less then…read morea year at this point. There are many reasons I love coming to Suspend, but for my review I will focus on the top 3 reasons you should check it out. THE FACILITY The location in NULU is super convenient if you work downtown like I do. I love to drop in after work for a class or two before I head home. Suspend has several rigging points that are checked regularly for safety. They offer lyra, trapeze, silks, rope, pole, acro, juggling, hula hoop and a variety of other classes. There are occasionally even workshops to learn unique skills such as unicycling. The facility is clean and inviting. I especially love all the beautiful artwork featuring aerialists decorating the gym. KNOWLEDGABLE STAFF The instructors never seize to impress me with not only their knowledge of the aerial arts but with their ability to explain things in an easily digestible way. No matter your level (I am a beginner) they can get you on the apparatus safely challenging yourself to do new things. Every instructor is focused on proper form and doing things correctly to avoid injury. There are even classes like Flexibility & Mobility and Aerial Conditioning that I find quite helpful. COMMUNITY This is one of the most welcoming places I have ever been. They say that aerials are for anyone. Everyone is welcome no matter your shape, size you will be met where you are and challenged to push yourself. Everyone (students & instructors) cheer each other on. This gym is definitely a body positive space for anyone to work on their art. If you are curious about circus and aerials, I encourage you to check out Suspend. It is not easy, but the sense of accomplishment is incomparable.

Yes, there are fabrics, hoops, ropes and poles. Everything you'd see at a Cirque show. And you learn how to do really cool stuff on all these things. While working up a sweat. The instructors are really great, you start with the basics, I felt very safe and you build from there. They are highly encouraging, along with the other students. They also have conditioning classes, yoga, flexibility, juggling - so many things to keep you moving and having fun. I would highly recommend to anyone, regardless of age and fitness level.

Hawley takes the time to look at each new student and place them in the class that they are at (regardless of their age or previous experience) because she wants them to be successful as well as challenged. ITD is the best around in terms of your kids learning and having fun and the cost!

My Yoga experience goes back more than 20 years and is the one exercise I keep up with regularly (even having taught a very gentle Vinyasa class for years). The one thing I had never done was HOT Yoga, because I do not like heat. Call me a Polar Bear if you like. My daughter signed us up because she loves the Hot Yoga class (a solid 95 degrees). I was a little nervous because it is a one hour 15 minute Hot Yoga Power Class. Cory, the instructor was great, very clear in her instruction and even though the class was tough, everyone is given room to take it at their own pace. Because I wasn't used to the heat I did a couple of extra child poses and down dogs. The class was fantastic, I especially loved the ice-cold lavender face towels at the end. We are going back on Friday!
