Unlike many dance studios, it's a place that fosters CONFIDENCE, DEDICATION, and PASSION-- which are amazing, lifelong qualities to instill in kids and especially teens. Kirstie, the director, is such a joy to be around and has created a truly unique and special place. Note only Kirstie, but all of the teachers too are committed to the students and create a very positive learning environment. Finally, the students are wonderful providing positive support to one another and put in a great deal of hard work. As I said before, the studio is truly a gem. Send your children or take class yourself as NCDI. It's a great find -- helped me remember why I love dancing again.

All that to say I was super intimidated to take the plunge now, in my late 30s. I started with a Saturday afternoon line dancing workshop. I was immediately put at ease by the friendliness and the diversity of ages, sizes, and shapes of people that I found taking the class with me. After my wonderful experience at the workshop, I signed up for beginning modern jazz. Tracey Durbin is an amazing teacher! I was up-front with her about my lack of experience and nervousness. She put me at ease by reminding me that everyone is here to have fun, period. I have now signed up for my second session and I have no plans to stop!

There aren't may dance classes in Durham for adults. That's what drew me to Ninth Street Dance. I…read moregrew up dancing and continued performing in college. When I graduated, it was hard to find a dance studio to take lessons. Ninth Street Dances offers classes in a variety of styles, techniques, and flavors. You can take a dance technique class or a movement/fitness class. I've taken an eight-week hour-long modern and contemporary. I've also taken the dancehall workshop (one three-hour class) which was high-energy and a lot of fun. Most of the adult classes were at night, which was great to attend after work. (This was before COVID-19, of course.) Now classes are virtual. I recently signed up for a virtual mediation class that will take place for four weeks during my lunch break -- perfect while I'm working from home. Other classes offered -- 90's cardio funk, tap, ballet, bhangra, twerk, hip hop, afrobeat and so many more! Here's the link to the class schedule: https://ninthstreetdance.com/classes/

I have been going to these classes for years and I am so happy to get my Latin dance and exercise fix at Erica's classes. The choreography is amazing, the energy fills the room and what I love is that it is a no-frills class in a simple gym for all shapes and sizes. She also does not play traditional Zumba music all the time and I love the mix of hip-hop, Afro beats, Soca and Beyonce. Erica's smile lights up a room and her energy is contagious. She is in demand as an instructor and you can tell form her Zumba Zin tours that she is always on the move. She also teaches cycle classes at Sync Studio and hosts boot camps at E fit 4 life. Erica's mom and close friends run the check-in area and you sign up online at Mind Body. There are deals offered where you can stock up on classes or buy them for $8 each. Erica also has themed birthday dance parties on the last Thursday of the month en special events for Halloween and other holidays. She runs an email list for the 2000 attendees of her classes and sends out announcements via email and Facebook. Erica also does the halftime show at the Charlotte basketball game and has lead dance parades at the Caribbean Festival in Raleigh. I could go on and on but the point it, buy a class, put on your dancing shoes, and get out there and shake and jump and dance your heart out. You will be glad you did.
