Here are things I wish somebody told me before I went. The beginner salsa level 1 class was not…read moretruly a beginner class. I signed up and was expecting a step by step breakdown slowly. Within five mins, we got into the salsa and I was so lost. Things slowed down a bit when you partner with people but it was the same steps several round so it was kind fast then slow. Overall, it was really fun and this class was more for meeting other people in a dance Zumba class than actually learning the salsa steps. One of the guys said bachata might be better to learn bc it's slower. The receptionist didn't do a good job telling me what to expect as a first timer. I had no idea what room to go or when to go in as everybody was waiting outside. I followed the people that was there to a class. You don't need to bring a partner to class, there will be people there for you and you switch (if you want to)

I recently came to Blue Feather for an Aerial Yoga + Play class with a few friends. The studio is…read morelocated in the Design District inside Soar Creative Studios, and you can easily book directly on their website. Aerial yoga has been everywhere lately, so I was glad to finally experience it here. The class size was small (~12 spots), which I think is perfect--any larger, and it would've been hard to see the instructor or fully engage in the movements. About 75% of the class was guided yoga using the aerial fabric almost like a sling for support (lots of Warrior II, chair pose, backbends, etc.), with the last 15-20 minutes reserved for "tricks." The time split was a little surprising, but I understand the need to warm up before advancing into more complex movements. Our instructor, Deidra, was confident and knowledgeable, offering options for both new and advanced students where it made sense. That said, I had mixed feelings about the structure. The class was advertised as beginner-friendly, but was filled with her students from moderate / advanced classes, seemingly working toward credit/practice hours. This meant Deidra often modeled progressions for them, focusing her attention at the front of the class rather than circulating to guide newer students in real time. Thankfully, a few more experienced participants helped by modeling positions, which was a big plus. My only other nick was the playlist--which bounced between Mumford & Sons to Gracie Abrams, with the occasional mainstream tracks, which just wasn't my vibe. Overall though, I loved the class and really appreciated Deidra's skill and passion. While not exactly "beginner," it was a fun and challenging introduction to aerial yoga, and I'd definitely return.

It will show you all the different types of classes, as well as prices, and you can book the classes online. I booked the "beginner" class last week - the aerial technique. I arrived about 10 minutes early and was shown where to grab and a yoga mat and was able to pick the "hammock" (I do not know the technical name for the ropes) I wanted to work with during class. The instructor was really nice and she walked us through each exercise. It was a lot of stretching - not really much off the mat, which was fine; I wasn't intending to be up in the air on my first time. Near the end we did get to flip upside down and hang for a little bit. I didn't find that comfortable so I didn't stay upside down for long. A lot of the other class memebers seemed to enjoy it, so maybe with time and practice I will like it one day as well. At the very end of class we got to get up in the hammock and lay down in it. The instructor turned off the lights so we just had the music to listen to and relax. It felt like we were hanging there a good ten minutes. Very relaxing. The studio is off Seventh Street in the Oak Cliff area. There is construction across the street, but I was able to find parking on Davis in a parking garage. When you walk into the studio there is a shop in the front with all kinds of trinkets, stones, incense, clothes. Cute stuff! I bought the package for 3 classes for $45 so my next class will be the aerial yoga. I'm very much looking forward to it!

Jay somehow combines great humor and charisma with outstanding musical and footwork instruction to make every class a blast. In my very first class, I learned an entire routine to a song I had never heard before in ONLY 2 HOURS. (And I suck at learning in group sessions!) He also changes it up each week to accomodate the more advanced students as well. A nice side effect of Jay's classes are that you get to learn in a fun, safe, relaxed environment, and that has really helped me come out of my shell and feel more confident - not only on the dance floor, but in real life as well. Whether you've always wanted to learn bachata or salsa, or you just want to come out of your comfort zone, I'd highly recommend Jay's classes.
