Adult - Ballet - Foundations
see all reviewsSuper fun - can’t wait to try again! Never done ballet before, so I’d recommend going to the Tuesday class before this. Wednesdays are apparently Beginner Plus, where they focus more on combination sequences rather than fundamentals and definitions. Vanessa (the teacher) still corrects form but there’s not really a pause to wait for newbies. Super welcoming group of folks though, and good energy so it wasn’t off putting - just kind of intimidating that everyone picked up the sequences on the first try. Got in a good sweat though - will def be back after I take a few more Tuesday classes :)

see all reviewsfun workout, definitely out of my comfort zone but would love to go again! structured kind of like a Zumba class where you simultaneously follow the instructors moves so the first lesson is a learning curve but not impossible. I really liked the addition of exercises that focus on different body parts (core, legs, arms) incorporated throughout the class

see all reviewsBrand new to lyrical, did my best to follow along. Love the large, expressive movements of the genre and the teacher’s graceful execution. Would take again, love the smaller class size so I don’t accidentally thwack someone.

see all reviewsA dance class exploring counter-technique and balance. As someone who has taken dance classes before but does not consider themselves a dancer, this was a challenge with a supportive community that welcomed my mistakes and celebrated my progress. It is intelligently structured; the class I took started out with an anatomical exploration of the hips, and then we danced through some physical themes that culminated in a brief combination moving through all of the counter-technique movement themes. It’s paced with ease to chill upbeat music. Verena is an excellent teacher, taking the time to uplift me and check in with helpful notes, and celebrating everyone’s process. I will note this was a mid-to-advanced in level compared to other classes offered by The Rooted Space. I’ll absolutely be returning to further my dance and movement practice and building a considerate physical community :-).

see all reviewsRachel was so nice and a great instructor! This class was good for beginners but you should know some terminology before going. Most of the students are regulars but I took this as my first adult ballet class ever since the very beginner class didn’t fit into my schedule and I had a good time!

see all reviewsThis was an amazing class for anyone who is looking to combine dance and fitness. The instructor was amazing and very welcoming. She made me and friends feel accomplished and comfortable for it being our first Zumba class ever. Even though I didn’t hit all the moves exactly, I had so much fun and the studio was a welcoming environment, clearly loved by the regulars.

see all reviewsIf pilates and yoga had a baby with a dancer’s grace and a sculptor’s precision, you’d get gyrotonic. The machine looks complex, but the movements are smooth, stretching and strengthening in ways I didn’t know I needed. 10/10, would twist again with James.
