There are even monthly themed dance parties where you can go dance in the evenings. Classes are offered in different types of Swing, Latin, Country and Ballroom dancing. New to Rigby's Jig is yoga. There's even a variety called "Poor Man's Yoga" that's only $5 per class. Not bad! Classes are welcome to groups or singles. It's the place to learn how to dance!

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.

I live nearby this beautiful studio and have been eagerly waiting for it to open. They officially…read moreopen this May! I was able to stop by for a soft opening pop-up of theirs. They were doing pay-what-you-can pilates and dance classes. This studio is absolutely stunning. The huge windows give the space so much delicious lighting. It's spacious and has a great section for dance and then a bunch of stretching equipment. The owner was super kind and excited about the space opening soon. I decided to come for their dance class. I am by no means a dancer, but I can mirror a teacher. They advertised the classes as *no experience required.* Hailey Clevenger was a lovely teacher! She was passionate about dance and excited to teach us. However, this was by no means a beginner friendly class. We weren't able to mirror her and I'm really glad none of my friends joined me. I'm glad I had taken a few modern and ballet classes before because I was able to follow some of it, but after 30 minutes, I was totally lost and felt like I was in a dance audition. I'm excited to see if they'll offer more real beginner classes in the future, but this is an amazing space for experienced dancers who have missed their practice! I'm curious to try their pilates classes too.

Being that you all are in the mall, you'd think they'd have a five minute grace period for those…read morewho are new, and have trouble finding it. I came early, went to the wrong side of the mall and had to run to class. I ended up being two minutes late, the door was locked, and they had a sign blocking the door as well. I stood there for a second waiting to get in, but then someone shooed me away!! This was last week. One other time I booked, they canceled class the night before, and now when I want to actually go they wouldn't let me in? Huge disappointment. I'm a regular class passer and have NEVER been somewhere where there isn't a five minute grace period. And to lock people out?! I really hope they fix some things because this is isn't normal. Surely there are lots of people who have trouble finding this spot. It's in a MALL. Please do better

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.
