Her class is pretty large and she's the youngest, and I'm always impressed with the three young women who are leading the class and their ability to remain calm and kind with a room full of high-energy 3-5 year old girls. My daughter is notoriously the one in the class who, when the kids do a little showcase for the families, is not dancing along with the group, and she's all good with it. She loves her teachers and has made a few friends. The clientele is a mixed bag of different walks of life, which I really like compared to some dance classes I went to as a child.

I walked in to ask one simple question about registering for adult jazz classes! Those two alone made me feel so welcomed and they had a genuine conversation with me asking about school, where I came from. I did dance for 11 years and I had to quit for 4 years due to certain circumstances. I have never been so excited to continue my dance career until I walked Into this dance studio!

It's a beautiful space with two dance studios available. The floor is perfect for dancing. Their larger studio has a sky light that makes it brighter. I love the art on the walls as well.

They also offer painting and drawing classes, including classes and events for adults. You can drop into their weekly classes or purchase pack class passes.

On the education side, it houses the TCC Visual Arts, Digital Media and Design, and Mass Communication programs. On the art side, they have different initiatives and programs that promote inspiration, education and collaboration such as art exhibits, installations and education programs. On the event side, I've attended presentations, fundraisers, and other social events. The event hall is a wonderful venue with ample space, parking, professional lighting/sound, and a kitchen. The 9th Street Observation Deck and the Boston Avenue Terrace are my favorite spots. They have a great view of downtown and offer an outdoor venue. It is also Oklahoma's award-winning first "green" sustainable rooftop. The facilities rental prices are all on their website and the staff is great to deal with, always very accommodating and taking health precautions seriously. I have also been very impressed with how they've pivoted due to COVID and continue making things happen. From online galleries and exhibits to virtual workshops, I've loved the versatility! My favorite workshops are the "I Can't" series offered at no cost to the public multiple times throughout the year.

Tulsa's newest YMCA is officially open! I've been looking forward to this location since I heard…read moreabout it in November. It is an impressive facility on the west of Riverside. There's a beautiful mural on the east side of the building. As soon as I walked in, I was blown away by another colorful mural of a soccer player and a floating ball installation. It is called "The World in Play" with each ball representing a country with an active YMCA soccer program. This location will feature three indoor fields, but right now, only the soccer one is fully finished. To the left, there's a cardio circuit training with state-of-the-art equipment, including two curved self-propelling treadmills, which engages more muscle groups and mimicked a more natural running motion. Next to the circuit, there are restrooms, showers, lockers, and a local soccer jersey collection. To the right, there's a meeting room and "The Hive", an interactive obstacle course that seems super fun for kids (ages 8 and up). It has climbing ropes, ball obstacles, game targets, and a scoreboard to play games. On the second floor, there are more cardio and strength equipment. There's an age limit to go upstairs (15+). To join, they don't have a joining fee. Membership prices are available on their website starting at $28 a month. Nearby residents get a free memberships.

I took classes from Priya (the owner/instructor) for a few months and I had so much fun. She takes her time to make sure you get the posture and understand the hand positions. My favorite part was being able to express feelings through facial expressions. Priya teaches other classical and folk stye (even Bollywood) Indian dance for anyone who would like to learn from ages five and up. Adults also! Another thing I enjoyed are the stories about each position in the dance. It gave me a better understanding of the culture and language. The cost of her classes are very reasonable and she generally offers them after normal work hours allowing the eight- to-fivers to be able to participate or get the young learners in as well. She and her dancers are featured in many performances around the Tulsa area and she also has plays during the Summer Stage at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center. I will include the link to her website in case anyone would like to look into it more. http://kripalaya.com/
