I have only ever been to one performance at the ballet, but have always been interested in seeing more at this theatre. I grew up taking dance, including ballet, and have always been interested in dance. Plus Center Stage was one of my favorite movies in the early 2000s, haha. The Grand Rapids Ballet also includes a ballet school for students ages 3-19, plus adult and Adaptive Dance classes. The beginner adult class is open to anyone and you can request a complimentary trial class. Beyond that, classes are usually $15 for drop ins, or you can get a 10-class punch card for $120. Classes are on weekday evenings from 6:30-8 pm. They also offer adult intermediate classes. Parking is limited in their lot, and the night I went there were lots of parents picking up kids so I ended up parking on the street. The class was taught by Attila Mosolygo, one of the instructors at the school. We started with warm ups and lots of barre work, focusing on strength, lower body movements, and flexibility. There weren't a ton of modifications given but with my limited knowledge of ballet I made it through as best as I could. We ended with a bit of floor work, including practicing chene turns and lots of jumping. My quads were definitely working hard and I worked up a sweat. I had a lot of fun and would go back for another class in the future.

From the start, the entryway of Grand Rapids Ballet shows you just what you'll be experiencing! The…read moredoors are lively and inspirational, and, once inside, the soaring, light-filled space, decorated with a large-scale photo of a dancer, fills you with joy. That's just a taste of what's to come. The most powerful, moving, and extraordinary dance I've ever seen? Aquatic hypoxia, choreographed by Nicolas Blanc, and part of MoveMedia: handmade... 7 new, original works, all world premieres. If this is the caliber of GR Ballet's shows, this company will go FAR. The dancing and choreography talent is tremendous. There is a spacious coat room, a closer men's bathroom, and a women's bathroom at the far end (why? I wished there was a closer handicap bathroom for either gender). The seating is pleasing, with plenty of leg room and comfortable chairs. I sat at the end of the row, and perhaps 10% of the stage was obscured by the side curtains. Luckily, most of the dancing occurred in visibility. One very smart thing inside the theatre: the lighting on the stairs is very clever. It is covered, so not obtrusive, but definitely lit up the stairs if you needed egress during the snow. Thank you! There is a parking lot in front (with 2 handicap spaces, so get there early if you need it), and a city lot across the street. We attended this as part of an official Yelp event, and I am SO glad we drove from Kalamazoo in a crazy winter ice storm!

Tiffany texted me as soon as I filled in an online request and said I come in at 7am. There were only 4 of us in the class and I loved the workout! It's a small gym that is setup with weights, TRX, medicine balls, etc. She put together an awesome workout for us that took about 50 or so minutes and involved some equipment and timing us on each set of exercises we did. We ended up doing 4 stations, and 3 sets of each. Tiffany was super nice as was everyone else in the class. I would highly recommend checking this place out!

I have been a member at FSP since April 2014, I have more energy and feel great. When I started I could only do 2 or 3 push ups. Now I can do 20+ with good form! I'm seeing the results I had hoped for plus so much more. Hope to see you at the gym soon! First class is free, come try one!

One of the best decisions I ever made was starting silks lessons with Aerial 4 Me. I was completely…read morebored with the gym and wanted to try something new and different. My strength and self confidence have both grown tremendously since starting! The instructors are truly delightful people to spend time with. They are gifted in their ability to give directions in a way that is understood by different types of learners. They are well trained in safety/spotting technique- even as I have advanced to more complex moves, I have always felt and been safe. If you hate fun and impressing your friends with fancy looking pictures of you doing cool stuff... This is not for you.

You'll learn the basics at first (climbing, basic foot lock), and once capable they will move you up to the next class. Depending on your ability, you may move up classes quickly or, like me, repeat some classes until you gain enough strength to move up. For your safety only, you will be allowed to advance in classes as your physical ability will allow, and no sooner. They will tell you the truth! If you're afraid of heights, I still recommend it! The intro classes work either from the ground or 6 inches off the ground until you're strong enough to go up higher. I had very weak upper body or core when I started. I am now about 1 year into classes and have improved dramatically, can climb to the top, and do moves I never dreamed of. You will amaze yourself, which is probably the most fulfilling part of it all. If you're looking for a new adventure and open to a session, I highly recommend Aerial 4 Me.

For all of $5 for the child (and free for accompanying guardian), your little one can spend an entire hour walking on balance beams, jumping into foam pits, bouncing on trampolines, and doing all sorts of things to burn energy. This is particularly appreciated in the MI winter climate when going outdoors often isn't a reasonable option. They do also offer packets of discounted passes - I think it's only $15 for a pack of 5 passes, making it an incredibly reasonable $3 per session. The location can be bit difficult to find, particularly because the building has a parking lot both in front and back. Best to call for specific directions.
