I took a circus aerial class here. When I first came, drop-ins were $5! It's more expensive now,…read morebut still very affordable. When I started, I wasn't sure what to expect. There was 1 silk, 2 lyra, and 1 pole for ~4 students, but there also seemed to be one of the instructor's kids (?) playing around too? There was a group led warm-up with yoga mats, but then it took the form of more open aerial then a directed class. I mainly did my own thing on silks, but then later asked for some help on lyra since the instructor seemed most knowledgeable about that. For the amount of money spent, I think it was a decent use of time. I think this place has a lot of potential, however, it didn't really seem like a class, or even serious training time. Everyone else there seemed relatively new to aerial. Other: * Parking can be a bitch in this area. * The studio is a bit smaller than I thought it would be, probably because of all the studio mirror angles in the pictures. * Class times are mainly during 9-5 business hours.

I loved the no pressure vibe at the studio and everyone was just there to have a good time! The studio itself was very welcoming. The floors were in great condition and were clean and easy to dance on. I can tell they take great care of mopping the floors and maintaining the space. The sound system was also very good which really added to the vibe. The waiting area was nice and I like that they have chairs to sit on while you wait for class to begin. Parking was a little difficult, but I was able to find a spot on Washington a couple of blocks away!

I signed up online via a link from their Instagram and the website was pretty user friendly and I was able to get registered for the class I wanted. No sweat. Looking for parking can be tough as it's street parking only, so I came a bit early to ensure I was able to get a spot. Walking in, the interior was pretty cozy and it was smaller compared to other studios I've been to in LA, but not a bad thing at all! The person working the front greeted me and I told her it was my first time so she gave me a rundown of how the studio works. I appreciate the great customer service! They have a full front mirror, cubbies to store your belongings, a clean bathroom, and an ipad up front to sign in. The class was comfortable since there were people of different dance levels so it's not intimidating. I also liked that it wasn't crowded. The classes usually last for 1 hour and 30 min. I would definitely take a class here again in the future.

A friend shared Alexis's classes and I realized the session was already three weeks in. I texted Alexis to check if she thought I would be okay joining during week four, with no formal salsa lessons under my belt. She was super responsive and reassured me I'd be fine and I could do a private lesson to catch up. And she was right! This is the perfect learning environment for anyone who is new to salsa and/or dancing. Alexis is a talented instructor - she is patient, kind, and always encouraging! She is skilled at creating a friendly group learning dynamic where we learn and have fun. I've enjoyed the experience so much that I'm planning to return for the next season. A huge thank you to Alexis for all of her coaching!
