I highly recommend this body positive and super fun pole studio. Butter & Filth is incredible and…read moreprobably one of my favorite pole studios I've ever gone to. I feel like there are different types of pole. Some emphasize the workout, others focus on the confidence and dance aspects. I prefer the latter, but Butter & Filth does an amazing job at incorporating all the elements. It feels like a fully balanced space. I have taken a few B&F infusion classes. You are required to start with these before you can sign up for their other classes. It's a three class beginner series. They have two studios now, which are about 5 minutes driving from each other. The class mentions which location it'll take place at. If you're interested in joining this studio, you'll want to sign up for their newsletter to get notified when the registration for B&F infusion is open to signup for (usually at the beginning of the month). It seems like you're required to take it twice before moving on to their normal classes. Do not be discouraged by the pricing here. It's a local business with incredible teachers and a wonderful vibe. You don't only learn a lot, but it feels like an investment in self love. I know that sounds cheesy, but I usually leave classes there feeling inspired and really proud or good about myself. It's an amazing community and I'm excited to continue my journey with them.

We bought the "new student" package which is supposed to include three lessons (two private lessons…read moreand a group party) - but after the first lesson, they would not honor the additional two lessons. All they wanted was to sell us an additional package for $700-$1000. We did the first lesson of the "new student" package but after we didn't immediately want to sign up for a larger package, they wouldn't honor the additional two lessons we had paid for already.

I just took my first bachata class at RVA Dance Studio last night and had a blast! I joined because…read morea friend wanted to learn and a Yelp Elite friend of mine (who is very big in the Richmond Latin Dance scene) highly recommended Salsa with Boris. Boris was amazing. He is funny and a great teacher. He makes things engaging and fun. He set us up in an oval around class. Leads would stay where they were and follows would rotate when told to. We started the class with basic steps, then partnered up and added twirls. He picked the perfect music that wasn't too fast so we could keep up. I had an incredible time. It's a small studio located on the second floor. There is a lot of free parking out front. I still have three more classes to go, but I'd highly recommend taking a class at RVA Dance Studio. You can also check out their Latin Dance Night at The Park RVA every other Thursday and on Saturdays at ALOFT.
