I cannot get ENOUGH of this dance studio. Women owned, local, wide variety, welcoming, inclusive,…read moreexciting. I found them because I asked a friend who loves dance where the best place was for beginner level hip hop and then grabbed an unlimited membership during a deal. Best choice I've made for my health in 2019. Straightline is a great place to meet new friends, and I do exactly that almost every single time I attend a class. Every class I take is challenging but modifiable. The variety is great. Even though I came for hip hop, I love 305 Fitness (think cardio clubbing), yoga, piloxing (pilates and boxing!!!!!), pilates and barre, YOU NAME IT. The app to sign up the classes is super easy to navigate and gives you an option to add the appointment to your calendar when you sign up. Love that. The studio is also very active on social media and responds to any questions in a timely manner. I am here at least 3 times a week and tell anyone I can how great it is. Join their email list to be in the know for their events and special offerings - worth it even without a 'deal!' This community gives me something to look forward to throughout the day when normally in the winter I'd stay home, holed up in the dark. I'm not saying Straightline is curing my seasonal depression (hello Minnesota winter) but it certainly helps!! The two things that I'd change: the bathrooms are downstairs and there's nowhere to shower after a sweaty class. Literally the only two downfalls of this studio. If you're still reading this review, CHECK THEM OUT! I can't recommend Straightline Dance Fitness enough.

Straightline is fantastic! The live at-home workouts are a godsend. The instructors are…read moreknowledgeable and enthusiastic. During class, they also dole out individual attention and take the time to be encouraging with a gentle nudge toward better form or a compliment. I enjoy the mix of barre, yoga and HIIT classes. Every instructor varies her class each time, so it's never the same workout twice. In a strange surreal year, Straightline has been amazing and a consistent source of inspiration.

I went for the Aerial Silks beginners class and the price for a drop in class was very reasonable…read more There's a parking lot right in front of the entrance along with street parking. Upon entering the building, I located room #9, where Stomping Ground is housed. I was surprised to find that 8 mins before the start time, the door was still locked. The instructor eventually arrived a few minutes after the start time which was a bit disappointing. It's a decent sized space, but a bit in disarray. Anyway, there were cubbies at the front where belongings could be tucked away. This included shoes which are not allowed on the performance/class floor. Although my skills were awful I still enjoyed myself. The instructor was very patient, helpful, and never made me feel like I was holding the class back. She showed several moves, and walked us through as we attempted them ourselves and while encouraging us, never pushed us beyond our comfort levels. About 2/3 of the way through the class, a child came in and was all over the place. It was a bit distracting especially as she continued to pull the instructors attention towards random things. Can't blame the kid (for being a kid), but I do think paid classes should feel more organized and less random. Anyway, I'm glad I tried the class.

I absolutely love the Lyra classes here! All of the instructors are friendly, skillful, and…read moreattentive and I always have a great time.

Zenon is a dancers hidden gem located in Minneapolis. I discovered it last winter and have only…read morebeen there a couple times. I now live in the cities so I plan on becoming a regular. The staff and dancers welcome dancers from all levels and backgrounds. The open houses are worth checking out, so you can see what types of classes you are interested in taking. For now my favorite classes are the Hip Hop classes. I have a feeling as I explore Zenon more that will change. The people take dance seriously, but are also there just to dance and have a good time. So girls and guys, if you are new or already know the cities but you are looking for a place to dance - Check out Zenon.

I've even gone on to learn other kinds of dancing (salsa, irish, blues, bachata) with the confidence I got from attending late night swing. While I have never taken a lesson from Cindy or Terry, I have frequented late night swing every Thursday since that night and have met so many wonderful people there that have changed my life. If you're considering going I highly encourage you to do so! Everyone is so welcoming of new people and the atmosphere is like nothing else I've ever experienced.
