    Monica O.

    Olivia provided me an intimate 20-minute conversation of pure, unadulterated advice. It's unlikely I'll stumble upon another opportunity like the one she afforded me Thursday afternoon, and less than an hour after hanging up the phone, I am certain her words will alter my world for years to come. Allow me to explain something here. Spain is a land of history, of adventure, of diversity, of tápas, mystique and timeless love. It is the land where my parents spent their honeymoon. It is the land from where I was shown weathered glass pieces they collected of every color imaginable. It is the place where my father as a young man took a photo of my mother as an even younger woman in a simple white peasant dress - an image to this day I always think of her by. It is the place they discovered jamón serrano and sangría, two simple but salivating staple foods no self respecting Spanish restaurant would dream of skipping on. It is the land from where the Columbus Fleet replicas were sailed to Corpus Christi, where my entire family was a part of the crew commissioned to man & maintain the ships integrity for one summer. To put this more succinctly, it is the land I was born to travel to. Since I can remember, Spain was always in my plans. One way or another, I would get there, whatever the drawbacks. I was lucky enough to fly to the Rockies as a kid and live in Guatemala for two months as a teenager, but never Spain. And so I postponed visiting this land of personal fable due to work, school, strife and redemption, all the while keeping that peninsula in my target. They say life gets in the way. I say life has a way of making you wait for what you want the most, that nothing can tear your sights from. Life has a way of reaffirming your weary dreams. The time has come where I am near the end of one extended tunnel but I'm quickly approaching the start of another, after which I don't know how many more anchoring responsibilities I'll have taken on. The time is ripe, and I must act soon or hold my peace for another N decades to come. I had a few states I wanted to visit, but apart from that my endeavor remained largely missionless. I needed a purpose, a cause, a calling. I love dance, but felt it was time to expand to less familiar schools of thought. Wait a minute. School. That's it! I've spent all this time finishing one school and making plans to enter into more schooling, so why not go to school to study what I love in Spain? Surely I'll pick up Spanish more fluently than I've been capable of in the past. I'm put in contact by a mutual friend with a woman who studied Flamenco in Spain on-and-off for about six months. She recommends a school in Granada that offers Flamenco *with* Spanish classes in a 12-week course. I'm sold, but realize I need to search around for other Flamenco schools before committing to the one. Enter the talented Olivia Chacón. I had taken an intermediate class with her a while back only to confirm: I am a profound beginner. Executing the more complex patterns within flamenco's social dance of Sevillanas is like trying to move your foot clockwise at the ankle, then trying to move your hand counterclockwise at the wrist. Olivia has studied intensively for over three years in Madrid and Sevilla with some of the most renown Flamenco masters in Spain. She returned to share with Austin her love of Flamenco by opening a space where she could instruct in this art. She was the person to talk to. I call the studio one Thursday afternoon, hoping to come by before their classes are over and talk to someone willing to give me 5 minutes of their time. It is Olivia herself who answers. I explain my plan to travel to Spain for Flamenco, and ask her experienced recommendations for particular schools to look into given my agenda. She is familiar with the school in Granada I mention, and for the next 20 minutes grants me her undivided attention, explaining the nature of studying Flamenco in Spain: - There are rarely organized 'schools' where there is regular staff - Most places are informal instructors who begin choreographies whenever they please - Many lack a website to further research their facility - Some instructors move from studio to studio at whim and, - Even if you find the number to a studio and call, there is a good chance no one will answer the phone She gives me the names of a few programs to research, as well as several instructors she studied under. She tells me I deserve to go alone, that I will undoubtedly make friends with other students, and that I deserve a pair of authentic Flamenco shoes, even if this will be my first time in heavy instruction. She tells me I should buy them in Spain to make sure they fit, and to NEVER wear them out in the street or on any non-dance surface. Just as I suspected. Olivia, you've imparted a great wealth of knowledge tonight, and had a hand in advancing me one step closer to one of my life dreams. For this, I am grateful.

    Dance With Me Austin caught our attention because they offer dance lessons for wheelchair users…read more They're located inside The Domain, and when we arrived, the first thing I noticed was the wall of glass windows. You can see everything from the outside, and I'll be honest, I felt a little awkward knowing people could watch us. Once inside, I noticed several couples dancing with different instructors and had a moment of nervousness, wondering if there would be enough space for us. Then we met our instructor, Johnny, and all of that disappeared. He is an absolute delight. From the start, he made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely at ease. I quickly forgot about the windows and the other dancers. We had plenty of room, and that's entirely thanks to how Johnny guided the lesson. Even though we were doing a shorter intro session, he managed to teach us all the basics to the song we chose. Somehow, it felt incredibly intimate and personal, even in such a large, open space. We had so much fun that we've decided to continue our lessons. Highly recommend, especially if you're looking for an inclusive, welcoming place with truly wonderful instructors.

    Dance With Me Austin has truly become like a second home to me. From the very first class, I felt…read morenot just welcomed but genuinely cared for. The instructors are beyond talented, but what makes them so special is their kindness, patience, and the way they believe in you even when you doubt yourself. They meet you where you are, and then somehow bring out the very best in you every single time. Over the course of my journey here, I've not only learned how to dance with more skill and grace, but I've also found a community filled with joy, encouragement, and laughter. Every lesson feels like a celebration, and I always leave lighter and happier than when I came in. Dance With Me isn't just a studio it's a place where confidence, artistry, and friendships grow. I'm forever grateful for the love, passion, and family I've found here

    It's been almost a good couple of years since I took a pure barre class, tucked, toned and burned…read moremy muscles and remembering the fatigue and kick butt workout, said never again. But now that I've become a mom, and have a mom body, decided I'd try all the Pilates, core, barre you name it workouts in the vicinity of my bubble, and what better way than a quick walk from my office on the days I go into the office. I'm actually a lifetime member so I frequent my gym up north for the fantabulous child care, but pure barre was something I tried recently again with sweetgreens opening and sponsoring a workout class. I've found I absolutely love Pure Barre Define and Empower, these 2 have the core basis of the classic routine, but incorporate more weights and cardio than my prior core workouts of Classic. I am overdue for a classic trial, and taking classes with Rachel (owner) and Margaret have been absolutely lovely and fantastic, uplifting and such a highlight of my day, getting such a good workout in, and leaving just to do it all over again next week. I purchased a pack of credits and appreciate how I can get my classes, which this location can book up pretty quick if you don't book in advance, but the community is solid, and I love the classes are non judgemental, you go at your own pace, and the instructors have hands on adjustments to help you improve, and genuinely keep you here for yourself! I don't feel like I can go anywhere else and not leave high on endorphins and dying from a killer workout lol :) Finally - the fact that the music is everything I enjoy, well it 1000% makes my hour that much more enjoyable and fun. Their playlist is a bop as the kids say these days!

    Wonderful workout and incredible staff. The studio is clean and everyone is so friendly. I love it!read more

    DO NOT TRUST ORANGE THEORY WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD…read more I was a very loyal member for years. However, after getting pregnant, I wanted to cancel my account. They convinced me to pause instead and ASSURED me the pause was indefinite. They told me that I would be charged $15 indefinitely for pausing my account, however, they charged me $119 for 6 months. They now refuse to call me back or refund my money. They are in the business of taking money in whatever scammy way they can. If I were them, I would trust my loyal customers and provide refunds when asked. However, that is not the case. There is a clear record that I did not attend a single class during this time because I was told I was on pause. STAY AWAY!!

    Although the Orangetheory workout is effective, coach Chrissy was mean and harassed me about…read moreholding the handlebars while running on the treadmill. I asked her to stop her comments and she continued her unwanted verbal harassment on two additional occasions. Coach Jonnie then defended her citing possible shoulder issues in two years time because of holding the handlebars. The Orangetheory coaches were not considering the used worn condition of the treadmills causing instability and a risk of injury from a slip and fall. Although the domain is a great location, the equipment at this Orangetheory is in aging, used condition so the coaches would be the primary reason for membership. The coaches should inspire, motivate and care about the members but sadly they were critical and offensive. The gym at my apartment building has brand new, state of the art equipment and I now run without needing the handlebars for stability. I canceled my Orangetheory membership and chose a virtual instructor called Rachel fitness who is based in Miami Florida plus rowing and running or elliptical.
