  At 52 this is the first dance class I’ve ever taken. It’s only been a few months but since day one both the instructors and students have been incredibly welcoming and supportive. I’m currently taking Bomba classes and I really like that you don’t just learn the dance, you learn the history and culture behind it. What I didn’t expect was the strong sense of community created through fun events, shared experiences, and giving back to others in need. More than a studio, it’s a place to connect and grow and I’m having so much fun!

  This place is amazing! It’s not just a dance studio, it’s a community; it’s family! A perfect place to dance,, no matter your age or skill level, whether you want to perform, grow as a dancer, or enjoy a healing environment. The dance instructors Emiliah, Jessica, Joselin, and Stephania, and the Zumba instructors: Sujeily and Earl, are skilled and supportive and the owner/director, Kelvia, is a gem. She organizes events for the dance community at a local and regional level and invites international dancers for special workshops! Her choreographies are beautiful! Her upbeat personality and faith based vision and perspective are a daily inspiration!

  I just found out about this dance studio, and my only regret is not knowing about them sooner! The instructors are very friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve always wanted to try belly dancing classes and partner classes like ballroom and salsa and they offer all of the above! I love how they provide this therapeutic space to learn the cultural context of the dances and move the body in a fun way.
