We met with John Ross and did lessons in Foxtrot, Ballroom, Waltz, Tango, and many others. After that, I managed to gain some coordination and my passion for organized dance grew into Salsa, Bachata, Swing, and more. Now approaching our upcoming wedding, I didnt even think twice about who to chalenge with trying to teach our families how to dance for our special day because I knew John Ross was the man for the job. We scheduled a private lesson for us as a couple for our first dance, and to teach my dad and my fiance's mom for the father-daughter and mother-son dances. We did have our dance song picked out, and John didn't hesitate to step in helping us pick a song for us together as a group. My mom, future mother in law and I have all had extensive dance lessons and were very much at home on the dance floor. My dad, future father in law and my fiance have had not very many lessons, and yet with John's expertise and over 30 years of teaching, we all ended our lessons feeling relatively confident and excited about our progress we made together. It was a wonderful bonding experience for all of us. Regardless of if you're a seasoned pro, or a newbie with two left feet, trust John Ross to bring out the dancer within you. Take some lessons at this local studio and feel for yourself the breadth of fun you can have solo or with a partner/date. Competitive pricing, convenient location, variety of classes and years of experience make The Ballroom second to none for dance lessons in Sonoma County.

The locker rooms are riddled with lockers that don't lock. The water fountains don't work. The bathroom sinks have no hot water and such low water pressure you can't even wash your hands. Things never get fixed. Treadmills down for several months. Saunas and steam rooms down for months at a time. Complaints are ineffective and downright useless. Hot tubs always have murky cloudy water. The floor surfaces in the men's locker room are extremely slippery, and conducive to falls and broken bones. The bench in the men's Handicap shower is literally falling out of the wall and needs to be propped up with another bench to keep from slamming down and shattering a knee cap. If you dare to sit on it, it could easily fall out of the wall causing a broken back or spinal injury. The steam room is ripe, dirty, and NEVER hot enough. And they keep raising the rates If you're thinking of joining, forget it. Things are bad and just keep getting worse. Working out is supposed to be energizing and uplifting.

She offers classes in Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and Larkspur each week. She also puts on dances throughout the year between Marin and Sonoma county which are a great opportunity to mix and mingle within the community and flex your moves!

You don't have to be a pro to receive excellent instruction here. A large variety of classes are offered for adults and teens, especially focusing on ballet and pointe, and these classes are no joke! They are long (1.5 to 2 hours for technique, and 1 hour for pointe), so you get a good barre, stretch, and center, along with plenty of time to discuss concepts and technique. While the instruction is professional and detailed, there is no need to worry about dress code or a toxic atmosphere. You can wear whatever you feel comfortable in, and everyone is positive, friendly, and welcoming. No drama divas here! The prices are also very fair - just compare them to other studios in the area - and you pay less per hour the more hours you dance per week. This is the perfect studio for anyone who is considering trying ballet, as well as for adults who want a more intensive ballet school. The first class is free, the music is great, and the instructors can work with any physical limitations that a dancer may have. Plus, they offer the rare opportunity for a beginner adult or teen dancer to eventually go en pointe with enough training. Best of all, CCD offers TWO performances each year at Spreckels Performing Arts Center in Rohnert Park! If you have ever dreamed of performing in a ballet, yet thought you were too old, you're in luck! These are not recitals, but full-fledged productions. They are not necessarily classical ballet-based, but also incorporate jazz, tap, and contemporary. It is an amazing experience to take part in one of these productions! They are not your usual ballet fare, either. For 2010, CCD put on original productions of "Alice in Wonderland" and "Nightmare Before Christmas". A welcome change from the usual "Nutcracker"! I should also mention that the floor and facilities are fantastic. The studio is clean and fresh (no dust bunnies!), and the floor is sprung with multi-purpose Marley which is perfect for pointe work. It is well heated in winter. They are in a convenient location, being just a few blocks away from the center of the Cotati hub. This studio also offers classes for children, starting with Primary Ballet for 4 and 5 year olds and going up to teens. They are also beginning to offer RAD ballet exam work. Best of all, they are expanding their class lineup to include adult beginner tap, hip-hop, and Afro-Caribbean.

Everyone we encountered here has been a genuinely good person. They were patient and kind with my daughter as she learned ballet basics. We especially felt this in the final recital. Even though it was a little hectic the week of the recital with two dress rehearsals, it was all worth it. Not only was the recital entertaining with all types of dance (ballet, hip hop, jazz, modern, break) but it was so heartfelt and creative. If I had known, I would have made it a point to watch both shows. It was that good. I also loved how Bernadette offers a dance class for special needs teens and adults and that they perform at the recital as well. It was so lovely to watch and it shows that Bernadette and her team have a big heart and include everyone in dance. Such a nice dance family to be a part of.

A nice relaxing beach with not many people, so can enjoy it almost to yourself. There are also many trails off the parking lot. I walked the Kortum Trail - it's a beautiful trail with stretches of wooden paths, sprawling greenery with mountains to on side and the, coast along the other. This trail leads to goat rock. It's a pretty steep incline towards the end but worth the views when you reach the top. It's a 2.3 mile round trip hike. I wish I had read a little history before I went on the hike, I later learned the large rocks you can see from the trail are named "Mammoth Rocks" it's believed the Mammoths rubbed against the rocks and created smooth polished patches 10-14 ft high.

There is a large parking lot and the parking is free. They also have bathrooms that are well kept. Whatever trail you decide you will have picturesque views of the Sonoma Coast.

There's just something special about coming back to the same place year after year and making new memories. The campground is nestled among the oak woodlands above Spring Lake, and I love that you get that feeling of being away camping while still being right in Santa Rosa. Most of the campsites are spacious and they each have a picnic table, fire pit and lockable storage. There are restrooms, showers, potable water and an RV dump station available. One of the biggest reasons we keep coming back is how much there is to do. You can walk, hike or bike the beautiful trails around the park, fish in the lake, launch a kayak or paddleboard, or enjoy the swimming lagoon and its floating water playground, which is my stepson's favorite thing to do while camping. There's even the Environmental Discovery Center, which is such a fun educational experience for kids. I also love the convenience of being close to everything. If you forget something while camping, need groceries, or want to grab a meal, you're just a short drive from Santa Rosa. At the same time, once you're at the campground, it feels like you've escaped the everyday hustle. The campground also offers sleeping cabins, including an ADA-accessible cabin, which is a great option for people who want to enjoy the camping experience without sleeping in a tent. After five years of making this an annual tradition, Spring Lake has become more than just a campground for us--it's a place filled with memories. From sitting around the campfire and enjoying time together to exploring the lake and trails during the day, it's an easy place to fall in love with. If you're looking for a convenient, family-friendly campground with nature, recreation and plenty to do, I highly recommend Spring Lake Regional Park!

The Santa Rosa Arthur Murray Dance Studio is more than a place to learn dance; it's a sanctuary of joy and personal transformation. The instructors, especially my primary mentor Julia, are outstanding. With a wealth of skill and professionalism, they not only teach dance but also foster a truly therapeutic environment. Julia, in particular, has been pivotal in my journey, offering encouragement and support that helped me navigate internal challenges I faced during my first big event, and helping me overcome severe social anxiety. Her dedication to creating a safe and nurturing space makes each session both healing and exhilarating. Her mastery in creating such a space makes every session with her both enlightening and enjoyable. Moreover, the community at the studio is a source of continuous joy. I've connected with many supportive, interesting, and fun individuals who enhance the overall experience. The camaraderie among students not only makes learning enjoyable but also contributes to a profound sense of belonging and happiness. Initially, I joined to learn just one dance but quickly fell in love with the art form, now proficient in over twelve styles. This studio has sparked a newfound passion for dance and has been instrumental in my emotional and social growth. I wholeheartedly recommend the Santa Rosa Arthur Murray Dance Studio to anyone seeking joy, connection, and a transformative therapeutic experience. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or a curious newcomer, this place will likely turn into your happy haven. read more

I started taking dance lessons in September. I have tried other places and they did not feel right - too "club-style" for me. The staff is friendly and they greet me with a smile or a hug - Emily gets props here! An important element for me and my husband who is NOT taking lessons is trust. I have trust in the instructors to teach me the dances and practice with me. I have trust in the other students because they, along with me, are all here for the same reason - to learn to dance. In the classes, we circle around so that everyone has a chance to dance with the instructor and with each other. It is a safe and respectful environment and you don't have to worry about someone throwing some shade towards you simply because you're dancing with their boyfriend/husband. I am enjoying my dance journey because they make it fun and will push if you want it. Daniel, my dance instructor, is a fun guy who loves dancing and is patient with my smarty-pants style. He will even throw something more difficult at me to see how I do. You think you're doing good and then you get a glimpse in the mirror and realize that you look like a newborn giraffe taking your first steps! You know what? That is ok and no one judges you!

For the little ones, you may not distinguish many differences between other dance studios. However, starting around 8-10 years old, Santa Rosa Ballet is the best school to study classical ballet in Sonoma County as it is the basic for variety genres of dance. My daughter has been accepted to San Francisco Ballet School summer session for 2 years by in person auditions and Royal Ballet School (London) on waitlist. This assures me the excellence of Santa Rosa Ballet teaching curriculum.

She started with ballet at age 3, and is now almost 17. Year after year she pulled away from various other sports and programs and chose ballet. At age 3 your little one attends ballet once a week--it's a joy to see them dance, learning little by little. It fills your heart. Now at almost age 17, they're dancing five days a week. It's not just ballet. With classical ballet and the wonderful instruction of ballet, Ms. Stephanie has helped my daughter be the strong person she is today. Ballet teaches so much: memory, focus & concentration, quick thinking skills. Additionally it can be relaxing, fun, difficult, and when playing classical music it can also bring a positive and calming effect to the brain. All while releasing endorphins. Looking back, it's incredible to see not just the physical strength, but the emotional and mental strength it can bring your child. We love Ms. Stephanie, her teaching style, professionalism and love for the performing arts. You're not just choosing a school, you're choosing a partnership in helping your child grow. Santa Rosa Ballet is wonderful school.

The instructor, Tallito, loves to to teach and dance, and his enthusiasm is contagious! I've never had so much fun while getting a workout. Classes are only $6 each if you pay for four classes at a time. It's totally worth it. Also, you can totally screw up the steps, and it's okay. There are classes on Tuesdays and Saturdays, from 10 AM to 11:00 (11:15 on Saturdays).

I then was then blown away by her mastery of teaching Zumba with a Latin flair! Ali does all her choreography. She had an intuitive sense for composing movements according to rhythm of the music, so much so, that after the first set of patterns, I felt completely natural with the routine. I have done dance fitness classes for a long time, and I have never come across a teacher as talented as Ali. If you haven't done a class with Ali yet, you should! You will be completely impressed and come back wanting more! I know I will join Ali again the next time I am in town.
