This is the first time in 15 years I am moving (I detest the word exercise) in an ""exercise"" setting. I heard great things from friends, have checked it out, and now I am hooked! I love the dance classes! Knowledgeable instructors help out either by walking around and suggesting how to better do the movement, or by showing different levels of movement from the front. I have found all sizes and shapes in the classes - yes, most are more slender and thinner than me, but i never feel unwelcome. I am free to concentrate on myself and my movement so i can really enjoy it. \r

The atmosphere is peaceful and tranquil. There wonderful pictures and sayings all around are supportive and life affirming. They have a boutique that sells gifts along the sames lines. I relish that there are lockers available to store away my personal things - with a key that i can pin to my clothing if necessary. Everything is clean, too! The more i am there, the more i love it - i look forward to making it a dance sanctuary for me.\r

they also offer workshops on various topics - i have become a big fan of the chakra workshops, and recently participated in one on ""a new earth"". that they focus on alternative and holistic ideas helps me to relax even more in this environment.
Pros: everything!
Cons: nothing
