Let's swing, baby, swing! Rhythmic Arts Center is a dance studio, but it's also so much 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? read more
