The class is an hour long with half tap and half acrobats. I'm guessing this is to be able keep these younger dancers attention! The kids seem great, any staff I have interacted with have been helpful and the little always looks forward to going to dance class! They just moved from the original location on Newport Ave a few blocks away to Grand Avenue, Pawtucket, RI - The new studio is a block back from the main road, has plenty of parking (on weekend mornings anyway!), is located on the 2nd floor, is very large and clean. They have a coat rack area for parents and a room with shelving and hooks for the students to place coats and bags. Keep walking ahead to get to the reception area that is also connected to a large waiting room full of chairs and ottomans for the parents / siblings. There is a changing room with a bathroom off of it, a second bathroom with changing table, a kitchen type area with picnic table type seating for the kids to have snacks / drinks in between classes. There are three studio spaces in there now.... I only got to see the one (classes were in session!)....but it was very nice. Large mirrors, ballet bars, very nicely done. I can not say too much about the actual dance lessons at this point - So, I will have to report back once we have been bringing her here a bit longer - so far so good and the little is always excited to go! This building has a few other tenants but with all the signage we had no problem finding the way to go....the check in process at the reception desk is quick and easy. The only negative about this space is the open tread stairs at the front entry. Not being used to "seeing through" stairs, the little got sketched out when we hit the landing and started going up to the second floor. Luckily with a few quick reassurances she kept going and it wasn't mentioned again until we encountered another little girl and her mom on the stairs on our way out - having the same issue! Not major by any means but something to note. All in all - this place looks like a great way to get started in dance!

I've been familiar with In Your Skin Studio since their former location, and seeing how they've…read moregrown into this new space has been incredible. Their new studio feels even more intentional and dedicated to their programming -- it's versatile, welcoming, and truly designed for community, movement, and connection. From pole classes to hip hop, salsa, bachata, workshops, and social events, there's such a wide range of offerings that make the space feel alive and accessible to so many different people. What stands out most to me isn't just the variety of classes, but the people and the care behind the experience. The instructors do an amazing job catering to different skill levels in a way that feels encouraging rather than intimidating. I recently took my very first pole class there, and I knew that if I was ever going to try pole, it would be at In Your Skin. I went in with zero expectations and left completely exhilarated. I was honestly surprising myself with what I was able to accomplish in just one class -- it felt like I was defying gravity at times. A huge part of that experience was because of Nicole, who was absolutely phenomenal. She was attentive, hands-on, supportive, and incredibly skilled at spotting, explaining movements, and helping students feel safe and confident. I especially appreciated how she blended pole with dance, creating multiple ways to connect with the movement and practice. But beyond the instruction, the community in that room was unlike anything I've experienced before. I actively participate in dance communities and travel both domestically and internationally for dance spaces, and the sense of support I felt during that first pole class genuinely stood out. People were rooting for each other in real, tangible ways. There was encouragement, celebration, and care that felt authentic -- something that can honestly be rare in movement spaces. I'm truly grateful this was the beginning of my pole journey, and I'm excited to continue discovering what I'm capable of through this studio. Another thing that matters deeply to me is who I'm supporting with my money, and the owner, Sada, is a huge reason why this space feels so special. She doesn't just own the studio -- she actively participates, teaches, and thoughtfully cultivates the environment both in the foreground and behind the scenes. You can feel the intention and integrity in the way the studio operates. The pricing is also refreshingly accessible, which makes consistent movement and community participation possible in a way I haven't often experienced elsewhere. And perhaps the biggest testament I can give: I don't even live in the same state as In Your Skin Studio, yet I willingly travel just to be part of what they've built there. That alone says everything.

But not once did I ever "enjoy" working out. I found Steve through an app as I was looking for personal training to supplement my other trainer. When I met Steve in person, it blew my mind how much energy he had, despite it being 8:30pm. After training with Steve now for about a month, I've found that his energy wasn't just for show. With the passion he maintains for helping all of his members, Its clear that his high positive energy is just who he is as a person and as a coach. Steve takes a customized approach to each of his clients wether it's personal training, small group trainings, or any general members of his gym. He's always giving people advice and critiques on how to improve their form to get max results. As a pretty anti-social gym-goer, I was truly terrified to workout in the small group trainings. I don't like feeling like I have to race or compete with anyone. After a few classes, I realized that with the family environment Steve's personality brings to the room, that the group trainings are based on comradery, not competition. I really like the people that I've met at his gym and they've welcomed me with open arms. It only took a month for me to find an answer to my original question. People enjoy working out when they are inspired. Since meeting Steve, I've been inspired to run faster, lift heavier, and frankly, smile more. If you're looking for a rockstar coach and an awesome gym, I'll see you in class with Steve at Fitness Rising :)
