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?

If you're passing through town or just working for a few months in Nola and need a place to work, that has a Nola vibe, this is the best. Very affordable, very safe 7-7, then be careful, but that's Nola unfortunately. Full kitchen, fast internets, phone booths for private calls, I like the bathrooms (hey it's important when you work somewhere 40 hours a week). No complaints. Started as the cheapest level and worked my way up to a small office. Great coworkers, mostly writers, geeks, and a few professional services and non profits, all feel a million miles away from my corporate cube.

The artwork is quite impressive and very meaningful. This was such a great experience and I do recommend others go for a visit. I definitely recommend the docent-led tour option. The art is in a warehouse. So if it's hot and humid outside, you will likely also feel that way inside also. So bring water or wait until the weather has cooled down later in the year.

Well first time since it offered a city service. The NOLA Project is hosting their plays in this space and we were here to see their production of the Tempest last night. The staging was sparce but the backdrop of the Greenway walking path was lovely. The space is wide open but fully fenced which keeps out birds but not necessarily all the bugs. There are restrooms with handicapped access and changing tables. I feel like it would be a great space for a rave... if those were still a thing. For the event last night they had set up a couple of tables with beverages and snacks. Parking is where the Thursday afternoon farmer's market normally is, or across from the Parkway Bakery parking lot.

I am obsessed with modern and contemporary art galleries and museums, so I was absolutely shocked…read moreto learn this gallery existed within the New Orleans area. His art is very reminiscent of Jeff Koons, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Yayoi Kusama, and similar artists within this parallel universe. The gallery is free to visit and it's massive. I was in awe of how much space there is and it is top to bottom stacked with art. Every section has a different thematic and concept and it was super cool to see the different art methods. I found out the space is available for private event rentals and you can also enjoy a complimentary drink! Drinks and Art is seriously the way to my heart. From $30 to the thousands, there is something in everyone's budget to take home a piece of Josh Wingerter's art. You can actually purchase a spray can that he actually uses for his artwork covered in one of his signature prints for $30. It's such a cool concept and a great way to reduce, reuse, recycle. Eco-friendly Art for the win! While I was walking around I discovered he does a lot of community outreach and is actually from Westwego. It makes total sense as to why he wanted to come back home. Josh Wingerter has actually displayed his work and done galleries all over the world including Art Basel in Miami. I'm really excited to follow him on social media and come back for future events! This is an absolute must visit for anyone in the area or wanting a fun and unique trip. It's at most 20-30 minutes from Orleans Parish.

He was the artist of the infamous Blue Dog, among many other pieces. In the French Quarter you can find his art gallery, Rodrigue Studio. His art, including the Blue Dog can be described as Pop Art. The Blue Dog is a terrier spaniel, with bright yellow eyes, and a surprised look on his face. There is no admission fee for the gallery. You can go on a self guided tour. There are so many variations of the Blue Dog, with a variety of settings and sometimes he might be red or yellow. A Blue Dog print will run you $2000.00 and up. I can't imagine the cost of one of Rodrigue's original works. If you love pop art, or if you're curious in the beautiful and very colorful works of George Rodrigue, I would highly suggest you check out his art gallery. You will leave with a clear, optimistic mindset.
