I probably can't do anything anyway, I have the upper body strength of a squirrel" and by the end of the first Pole 1 class with Razz, I was signing up for classes twice a week. Small group environment, so it doesn't feel like there's all these eyes on you if you're getting through being self conscious. And everyone else in my classes are so nice and hype each other up! Different age ranges and body types, making it all the more better to show that anyone can do it. What an amazing environment the instructors here provide. I definitely recommend to any one of any exercise level!!

My son has recently become really interested in dance, and one day while we were walking by N Space…read moreDance, he stopped, looked through the window, and asked if we could go inside. As it turned out, a ballroom dance class was starting in just 10 minutes -- and without hesitation, Natasha welcomed him in with warmth and excitement. What could've been a nerve-wracking experience for a new student turned into something truly special. Natasha made him feel completely at ease right away. She treated him like he belonged there, and it was clear she has a natural gift for working with kids. During the class, I watched her create an environment that felt incredibly safe and supportive while still challenging the dancers to push themselves. She struck that perfect balance of structure and encouragement. Every child in the room looked focused, happy, and proud of themselves -- and that's all thanks to the way Natasha leads. We walked into N Space Dance on a whim, but we left feeling like we had found something really special. I can't recommend this studio -- or Natasha -- highly enough. She brings out the best in her students, and I'm so glad my son had the chance to be part of her class.

Natasha is a gem -- warm, intuitive, and so in tune with every dancer in the room. Whether you're figuring out your first salsa steps or working on refining your styling, she and the other guest teachers somehow meet you exactly where you are. And it's not just a dance studio. It's becoming a real hub for our community -- a place to connect, move, laugh, and let loose. I've met so many wonderful people here, and every class feels like a little celebration. Please join me in supporting this community gem!

The social workers are amazing and tapped into every resource in Monterey County. You won't find a better group of people anywhere. The weekly luncheon on Tuesdays, offsite in Carmel, is a wonderful networking opportunity and a beautiful event I look forward to. Here is some information from their website: Gathering for Women is a caring community... Where homeless women can get a hot meal, free clothing and some limited emergency assistance. Where health, mental health, and other service providers can connect with homeless women to offer them help. Where homeless women can learn how to keep themselves safe and health. Where the community can learn from homeless women about what they need. Where housing providers can connect with, screen, and place women into permanent housing. Mission: Supporting the Homeless and Hungry Vision: Our vision is that the homeless and hungry have a place on the Monterey Peninsula where they can access food, clothing, a caring community, and connections to resources and services. Values: Hope Empowerment Advocacy Respect Transparency Gathering for Women also operates a Food Pantry for All that is open three days a week and provides basic food staples to all hungry people on the Monterey Peninsula.

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays we provide services designed to reduce immediate harm and help homeless women transition out of homelessness, such as clothing, personal care items, case management, comprehensive resource support, limited emergency assistance, education to promote their health and safety, and connections to community service providers. Every Tuesday we provide homeless women with a caring community and a hot nutritious meal. On Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays we provide nonperishable food for anyone in need. Everyday we are working towards a permanent facility to consolidate our program into a drop-in Day Center with one-stop for resources serving homeless women on the Monterey Peninsula. Our Goal To provide the resources that will promote health, safety, and housing readiness among our women guests. Our hope is that every homeless woman will eventually be housed with appropriate supportive services.
