I've been working at this art space for years, so I finally decided to make a listing for it…read more This is a former school that has been converted into workable, rentable art space for creators of all types. Here you will find coffee roasters, photographers, painters and all types of other artists. I love this post because it's secluded, safe and private, has plenty of parking, and everyone here is respectful and quiet. There's a kitchen area, if you want to fix something to eat or keep drinks cold and there's even a dark room for film development. It's a wonderful space and I always enjoy working here.

Let's swing, baby, swing! Rhythmic Arts Center is a dance studio, but it's also so much more…read more The current schedule reveals an array of dance classes including swing, African dance, Zydeco, belly dance, Pilates, yoga, kids martial arts and kickboxing. They host several dance troupes in town, including Gris Gris Strut, the NOLA Jitterbugs and my favorite, The NOLA Chorus Girls Project, of which I was a member for a hot second before realizing my travel schedule wouldn't permit me to participate regularly. I can't attest to the awesomeness of all of the teachers/classes, however what I love about this studio are the gorgeous wood floors (nice to dance on!) and wall-to-wall mirrors (nice to spot to yourself when doing spinny spins etc. and admire/clean-up your form). It also feels very much like a community space, with very reasonable rental rates for private lessons and if you would like to offer up a class yourself. St. Claude needs more fantastic businesses like this one! It's time to move, friends! Take a look at the website and take a chance on one of the classes that sparks your interest. Hell, they even have Zumba and isn't that all the rage these days?

On a previous trip we had seen an evening show at Snug Harbor and wanted to experience something else. We had read good things about the Spotted Cat and their sets run all afternoon. We were a little confused about price because one of our guidebooks said there is no cover but you're supposed to order drinks. There was a doorman who charged us something like $5 each (still cheap!) and we ordered beer and a N/A drink at the bar and listened to a great jazz group playing old-time jazz. Interior is tiny and you're pretty close to the performers. We were standing at first but eventually found some seats as people left. There is even a back courtyard if you want to be outside, although I don't know if you can hear the music or not. We bought a CD from the band and enjoyed it when we got back home. All in all, a great New Orleans experience.
