I've been coming to Rhythm Attic for nearly two years now, and it truly feels like a second home. The heart and soul of this space is Reshma -- her boundless energy, radiant spirit, and genuine passion for wellness inspire all of us to stay committed to our fitness and self-care journeys. Every instructor here brings their own magic, and the energy in each class is simply electric! The workouts are fun, dynamic, and incredibly effective -- a perfect blend of full-body fitness and mindful movement. But honestly, this class is so much more than just exercise. It uplifts me, recharges me, and fills my week with positivity. If you love Bollywood beats and want to dance your way to wellness, I highly recommend joining Bombay Jam at Rhythm Attic. It's joy, movement, and community -- all in one beautiful space!!! read more

Good location to get your cardio fix . Tried the Zumba and Bombay jam classes. One star less - they should add morning class , there is no class on Monday plus at time the class is more dance sequence with low impact and less calories burnt . read more

I cannot stop raving about this place. RA offers not just Bombay Jam (Bollywood dance, arms and legs toning and core workout) and Zumba classes with strength training, but also specialized core and strength training sessions! All this under one roof! All the instructors are amazing and super friendly! I've been going for classes here for over a year now and all I have to say is - CAN'T STOP! WON'T STOP! PS: If you ever want to come in for a fun dance session, bring along a bottle of water, a yoga mat (for Bombay Jam), a towel and loads of energy! read more

What a year passed by - 2022 - First, let me thank Reshma, who is unique and caring for every person joining Rythematic. All the instructors, Megs, Neha, Tripathi and Pari extraordinary in what they do, motivating us to achieve our goals not only in the class, but by constantly pushing us and checking on us every day through WhatsApp and texting. I want to share my Journey with Rythematic. I was always interested in dancing but hesitated. I started looking out for something and found Rythematic through yelp; I reached out to the number and was still determining who would be on the other side. That's when I connect with a super motivating and positive person, Reshma. I suffered from anxiety, depression, Thyroid (medical condition) and, of course, being overweight. Every time I stepped towards getting fit and healthy, I fell back. But this time, it was a miracle. Reshma was constantly in touch with me, though, at that point, she was only doing virtual classes. The day she decided to do it in person, she pinged me, and somehow I managed to attain my first class - on 15th August - what a day ;-) From there, it was no looking back. I not only got addicted to the vibes but found great community and friends ( friends forever). It was a fantastic feeling, and I can never forget my first class after it ( I spent my whole day mainly in the washroom, lol :-) ) as if my body was longing for this kind of detox. Reshma, Megha and Neha made sure that I was consistent. Regardless of what, I was motivated enough to come to class. I was shy and not confident enough, but I knew I was in good hands: so much love and motivation. The next and crucial thing I started bothering Resh was to add another in-person class. She is a sweet soul; she accommodated my request and added another in-person session; last but not least, I wanted to be in every class, so I asked her if I could join her while she was giving virtual class live, but joining her at home. She was like oh yeah, and I did. In 4 months, I lost 12 lbs (of course - all festive season). It helped me come out not only from my shell but also feeling happy, loved and wanted. What I achieved after losing - There are a few things to list down Depression - I was delighted, and my relationships improved. Looking good: I got a lot of compliments as I was taking care of myself, my body - my skin. More stamina -I could work a lot better and focus a lot better. The anxiety went away, and I was happy. I could play Garba(Navratri) and could ski after 8 yrs. I can go on n on about this group, Reshma and all the instructors( they spoil us with all the celebrations and goodies - special chai, omg ). Words are not enough to express my feelings, but I tried my best. We all need love and attention, which I get from this group. I love them for the way they are, and I look forward to going to every class - I call this place - My Happy Place :-) Please join us if you read my post and get motivated by my journey. read more

This review is for Zumba only - I haven't gone to other dance classes yet. A prepaid dance card is good for 5 or 10 classes and can be used for ANY of the classes they offer. First time attending any of the classes is free. Beware, the energy is plenty and addictive. Bring a small towel and water - the studio is small and fans do little unless you stand right next to them...you will sweat. Heidi is a ball of energy and a fun instructor. She makes this "workout" fun. Her dances are generally more high intensity and might be considered challenging if your coordination isn't completely there, but no one judges if you're offbeat. ;) Darcy is super friendly also. Her dances aren't as intense as Heidi, but you can definitely still get a good sweat going and the heart pumping. If you're a beginner, maybe check out Darcy before moving into Heidi's classes. If you're looking for a reasonably priced studio with friendly, welcoming people, check this place out. Remember, first class is FREE so you have nothing to lose, but some sweat on the floor. ;) read more

The Tuesday Zumba with Heidi is the best workout I've had in years!! For the last couple of years I've tried to take up running but seemed to max out at about 3 miles and would get bored. With Zumba i think i get a better cardio workout (your fast and slow non-stop) and it's so engaging!! Love this class and can't wait to go back! It does get a little stuffy in there because there's a lot of people moving around, but it's a workout, you're supposed to sweat... a lot... Monday is a little slower so if you're a beginner it would be a good class to start with, it's also a smaller group. read more

This review is for Rie's Zumba (Monday) and Zumba Toning (Friday) classes. I absolutely love Rie, her style, moves, and her collection of music. I have now attended 14 of her sessions. It is easy to follow her steps; sometimes it will take a few repetitions to get the routine for a particular song but you will definitely get it. She gives cues at the beginning of a song and that helps. She is very warm, friendly, and will instantly put you at ease. I simply love the energy and enjoy each and every workout. read more

Wonderful dance fitness studio! If you love Zumba, Pilates and Bombay Jam- I would highly recommend it. I just love the energetic classes by quality instructors! Working out here is truly fun and gives a community like feeling where everybody motivates each other to push themselves and take it to next level. Reshma truly cares about all of her students and is always there to offer great tips for their well being. This is the place to be if you want exercising to be fun! One hour passes away like breeze..Never a dull moment ! read more

I have been going to Rhythm Attic for the past four months, and all the instructors are fantastic! I joined for the Zumba, but the Bombay Jam classes are fun (not too silly and not too hard), too. I like that the Bombay Jam classes have 30 minutes of toning after the dancing. I also love that I've found something close to home, affordable/flexible, and with a few different evening schedules. I've taken my friends to classes and they've ended up signing up, too :-) The only thing is that it's starting to get quite crowded-- perhaps it's time to move to a bigger space or a second location? read more

Excellent Zumba and U-Jam studio. Located above a gymnastics facility, it's pretty easy to get to off 101. I've attended Zumba/U-Jam classes here on Saturdays and Mondays and the instructors are always fabulous and encouraging. There are mirrors on two sides of the studio which make it easy to check the instructor's and your own form while you're going through the movements. The only thing keeping me from giving The Rhythm Attic 5 stars is the lack of air conditioning. There's only two floor fans running in there and, goodness gracious, it gets HOT. Still, a great studio all in all! read more

The U-Jam class was fun! It's a great workout that's not too intensive but gets the heart pumping. Great hip-hop music as well !!!

This review is for Zumba only. I have been going to the Zumba classes here for over a year now, with some breaks in between. I am not the kind of person who likes to run or walk on the treadmill, have always needed something more involved and fun as a workout . And that's the reason I love Zumba. And Heidi is just the perfect instructor, she is very energetic and mixes up the moves very well. While newcomers may find it a little difficult to keep up due to the high energy and fast pace of her classes, but if you love to dance it's only a matter of one or two classes before you get into the groove . Overall a great value for time and money!! read more

I have been attending their dance classes on and off for 4-5 months now. I really like the punch card system, so you don't lose money if you can't make it to classes sometime. When I first started going there, I only attended their zumba classes. Then, the owner/zumba teacher, Heidi, recommended me to try out their yoga and bombay jam classes. Then, I gave them a shot, I really like them too. I also like their XTrim bollywood class. It's kinda similar to bombay jam except it has a strength training session in the last 15 minutes. On the other hand, yoga class is really hard. I feel it's more for intermediate or fit people. All their instructors are nice and friendly as well. I'm glad that I found this nice dance studio in a convenient location. read more

I am editing myself for niceness and my gut said to give this a 2 star. I have been holding off on the off-chance that I may need to go back there but I have admitted to myself that I won't, so I am comfortable sharing this review now. The data: BACKSTORY: I took UJam at Santa Clara Rec, and it was amazing. I have previously taken Zumba, before it became a thing, and it is a fast-paced Latin-rhythm aerobics class that demands a lot of fast and intricate footwork. Especially for beginners, and people with mobility issues, I have never approved of Zumba, although everyone raves about it. They rave about it because the music is fun and upbeat and people are friendly -- but to be realistic, the footwork goes at a pace that I think can be unsafe if you are not already very used to aerobics and swift dancing and well coordinated and comfortable with following quick choreography in groups. For this reason, UJam is my preference; while there can be fast choregraphy, it breaks up frequently, etc. I am a heavier girl, and had to begin a journey (we're all on it, whatever our levels of health). I needed to fill my calendar with dancing and fitness, so I took the free sample classes at RA, including trying out their Hot Hula, their Zumba, and their UJam. I am not going to name names right now, but the "energetic" instructor for Zumba is not good at articulating or guiding (aka, teaching) -- and while she is energetic, I never felt she was *safe.* When people tell you that you are beginner not to take her class, there is a reason. You could injure yourself trying to keep up with her, and there is no guidance on modification, etc. (also an issue with Zumba overall, as you see above, I have reservations about that fitness form). I have also experienced better UJam classes elsewhere. Same for Hot Hula. Just all around better teaching. These teachers have to start somewhere, and I want them to be successfull -- just know that you will be a bit of a guinea pig, and your fitness experience may not be optimized for your best results. Aside from that, if you are into DANCING -- the art of dancing, and you are trying to actually get better at DANCING -- you will not necessarily find that in MOST of the classes. This is harsh, but, if you are beginner, and trying to experiment -- which I was -- this serves a purpose. But to be perfectly honest, I have shopped hard in my area and been to MANY studios, and I belong to SEVERAL now, because I have learned a valuable lesson -- you will not learn, grow, and advance in your fitness and health unless you are inspired. And if you dont' know what you are missing, you could be expanding your potential, and challenging yourself in ways you never conceived of. My first UJam instructor (SC Rec) totally spoiled me -- she's an amazing dancer and teacher. I have experienced several instructors all over and you can tell A instructors from B and C and RA ... has never reliably inspired me to, say, drive 30 min out of my way to come there. But I have definitely found those instructors for UJam and Hot Hula, for example, elsewhere locally. I am trying to be kind and realize you may still feel this is harsh, but that's just how it is. Several of the teachers may lack rhythm, not articulate steps and just start dancing without prepping you or showing you anything, not adjust you for proper form for safety, or even just start late cuz they're disorganized and a little lost. The staff are very nice; they have a class pass. I literally bought a 20 class pass guys. It has at least 3 classes left on it. From a year ago. I found better teachers and facilities elsewhere and just ... never could justify going back. It was a gap filler for me, not a place I really WANTED to go. The gym below -- a kid's gym, very very smelly, and that smell travels upstairs, b/c during the day the studio is clearly also a tumbling room for the main facility. Windows don't open, tiny room, no ventilation. They DO have A/C -- it just works poorly in a tall warehouse room with poor insulation. They use little floor fans to augment -- it's not enough. In the dead of summer -- stinky and uncomfortable and crowded and close. I don't mind a shared facility and I think it gets the job done, I'd just rather go elsewhere and experience better teachers and facilities. read more

I love zumba and have been doing it regularly for about three years now. Zumba is great exercise, but also tons of fun, so I make sure to go around twice a week. The zumba classes here are always fast paced -- just the way I like them. The only problem is that sometimes there are issues finding a parking spot and the room can get kinda hot in the summer. But I'm always sweating up a storm anyway, so it doesn't bother me. read more

First time to try the Bombay Jam w/ Reshma with my sisters and nieces. We had a great time. Not only it was fun but we burn a lot of calories and got the exercise we needed. Reshma was great! read more

The Rhythm Attic - Dance Studios Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I came in for a Zumba class since I was in town for business. I have taken Zumba for years and I am also a trained dancer, so I am picky when it comes to this. The atmosphere was very welcoming! I took a class with Darcy. High energy and fun!! Just like I like it. The facilities are not as great as others I've seen, that's what they don't get 5 stars. But other than that, I will definitely be back when I am back in Santa Clara for work. read more

I am blessed to have Heidi as a good friend. I am lucky to have co-taught with Heidi and some of her other instructors. I love her energy and choreography. She has some awesome classes. I love the Zumba Classes that she offers and also the Zumba Toning Class. As an instructor I love taking my friends classes and getting ideas from them and just having fun. Check out The Rhythm Attic you will love it! read more

I love the Rhythm Attic! The instructors are a wonderful people and attract friendly class participants. If you are new to Zumba and feeling intimidated about trying your first class, start off with Rie on Monday evenings. Her steps are easy to follow and it is impossible not to walk out of the room in a better mood thanks to her infectious smile and positive energy. Heidi's classes offer a great option to folks already familiar with Zumba and Geetha's classes strike a skillful balance of fitness challenge with inspirational choreography. All instructors are attentive to safety concerns and encourage you to go at your own pace. Definitely check out the online schedule before coming as the studio often closes for holidays. read more

I take Zumba with Rie at Rhythm Attic. The class is great - Rie is an awesome teacher and the Rhythm Attic staff are wonderful. My only issue is that the room is too dang hot! read more

FUN FUN FUN! It's the most fun you can have while working out. Saturday classes with Alyssa are a great way to get in a work out and dreading going on a weekend is but a distant memory! You have a good time and SWEAT too boot. I've taken a class on tuesday nite as well and it's just as challenging. The moves are a little bit salsa and belly dance on saturday and tuesday and thursday are salsa/ hip hop. Either way do yourself a favor and check it out. read more

This review is long overdue. I am very grateful to Yelp for finding this place! I was looking for a non-gym environment where I could attend Zumba classes and am so happy I found what I was looking for here at Rhythm Attic. Heidi is a wonderful instructor, she finds great songs and fun moves that get your body truly working. On one hand, I want this to stay the amazing hidden gem it is, but on the other hand I had to write this review and share it with Zumba lovers in the area! read more

I went to Rhythm attic for Zumba class with Heidi, she is warm and friendly, puts you at ease and also gives encouragement while dancing. The owner/manager of the studio is also friendly. I give 3 stars because the Zumba felt more like a mix of Bollywood workout. There could be some overlap of moves in every dance workout, however this class didn't have Zumba music or Zumba moves that one would expect! read more

Heidi is the owner and instructor.She has assembled a friendly positive and energetic staff which make the classes absolutely fun. I have taking all the different classes as some point and each are great work out. read more

I recently attended Liz's class and want to share with everyone that it is indeed a great workout. It doesn't feel like an hour ! :-) She takes time to break down the steps and show us before the dance. That really helps me pick up some of the dance quickly. I have attended Zumba from a few other teachers. She is by far, the best. I sure hope more people will benefit from her class ! Environment wise, the studio is clean and airy. Easy to find parking. What more can one ask for ! read more
