Heartbeat House is hands down one of my favorite places to move, sweat, and just feel GOOD. The cardio twerk class with Lindsey is everything. Her energy never disappoints and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. It's infectious. The class is so much fun, super inviting, and welcoming no matter your level. You walk in and instantly feel comfortable, which is not always easy to find. Lindsey creates such a positive vibe that keeps me coming back every single time. The music is also on point. It's a great mix that keeps things fresh while still honoring the roots and culture behind twerk. You leave feeling empowered, energized, and honestly just happier. If you're thinking about trying it, do it. You won't regret it. read more

Enjoyed another Groov3 class here today with Dee Brown! The studio is spacious and has cubbies for your personal items. It can get pretty warm in there. read more

The best dance and workout studio in LA! The staff is warm and genuinely welcoming, the instructors are truly best-in-class, and the vibe is completely non-judgmental--everyone feels at home the moment they walk in. I absolutely love HBH and recommend it to everyone! read more

I almost don't want to write this review because I want to keep this little gem to myself! I've been going to HBH for over a year and it's always a warm, comforting experience. Lindsey and Kait are amazing instructors and work really hard to make sure everyone feels welcomed and valued. Everyone here is so kind, staff and students! It took me a while to find an adult beginner friendly studio because most places in LA cater to professionals looking for maintenance and training. This place is truly for those looking for a safe place to explore something new and scary. I would say most classes are beg/adv beg with some intermediate classes for those wanting a challenge. I hope more folks find this lovely place so they can offer a wider range of adult classes! read more

editing this review because It seems I have misplaced my anger. classes I've taken at the past here are great. I have gone a couple times in the past and the Instructors are kind and do a good job getting you to work up a good sweat. unfortunately I couldn't make one of my last classes due to the fire and wind / road conditions and was charged by classpass. note: ClassPass unfortunately sucks on the other hand. and will charge you even in disaster / emergency times. read more

I highly recommend this studio! I especially love Betty's ballet classes and Lindsey's heels classes. The community here is very welcoming and the classes are a great workout that keeps me coming back. Free parking lot! read more

I have taken dance and fitness classes at many places over the years and Heartbeat House is right up there! The teachers are great, the range of classes is fantastic, it's super reasonable, and you always feel so, so welcome. Also abundant free parking! I haven't taken from all the teachers, but very much love Lindsey, Rocky, Kait, Kumbi, Toni, and Jerrod's classes. read more

So glad to be back dancing behind RockYourBest at Heartbeat House. And take Groove3 classes too! So glad HBH good vibes continue!

Took the fitness dance class at 7:15 on Thursdays. I loved loved this class!!! While it was a bit outside my area I took it to avoid traffic and had so much fun!!!! The instructor's high energy and bubbly enthusiasm make this class A MUST! What I loved more than anything was the eclectic playlist which combined with her spirit invited you to REALLY workout! Bring water because you will need it and forget about everything else just go and have fun! read more

I love this dance/yoga/pilates/exercise studio. Kait and Lindsey, the owners, are so nice and all the classes are great. I particularly like Nitya's yoga classes and Kumbi's sculpt and stretch classes. They're the best instructors and people. This place is amazing for women (and men) of all ages and shapes. I highly recommend it. read more

I actually do not know how things are these days, but there is a new owner who reached out to me with the nicest letter offering to do whatever she could to make up for my unfortunate experience. The new owner sounds responsible, respectful and genuinely interested in providing a great experience for her clients. The studio is too far away for me and I don't think that my teacher is there anymore, so I probably will not be there any time soon, but I hope that someone tries it and tells us about any changes so that I can delete the original post. read more

Heartbeat House is such a wonderful, diverse, and welcoming community! I LOVE the classes there, especially the heels and cardio twerk out classes with Linsey. Heels dance was something I always wanted to try but was too shy to do in any studio, until Heartbeat House. I have been attending the class for almost a year and have been improving and loving it! It brings me so much joy and confidence in my body. I have also tried methods of dance I never even knew I would like as I have no previous dance experience, like modern and contemporary, and have really enjoyed it and felt supported by all the instructors. HIGHLY recommend :) read more

I took part in a community service event here. They were so kind to open their studio to us. It was a super cute place and the classes they offered also sounded really good. read more

This place saved me after I felt depressed and out of shape post-pandemic. I did the trial run because I'm always reluctant to go all in on gym memberships. I've always got my guard up, hyper aware of that cult like/judgy atmosphere that some gyms emanate. I've now been a member for a little over a year and I love it so much. It's become my safe place. I discovered I loved dance classes and pilates the most! Kait, the owner is so incredibly knowledgable and kind. As a member you can do 1:1 sessions once a month to target your personal pains/weaknesses. I did ONE session with her and we were able to figure out some areas of my body I needed to give more attention to in order to keep lower back pain at bay. Again, after ONE session, I knew what to do at home and its helped my back so much like I cannot thank her enough. This place is great for anyone who wants to ease back into fitness to reach new goals. I always leave feeling so motivated and most importantly, I always feel safe and supported. read more

I've been going to Heartbeat House on and off since 2013 and am so grateful they offered so many classes online during COVID. Their instructors are so talented, enthusiastic and positive, I feel amazing after every class. I've tried everything from ballet to yoga booty ballet, flamenco to pilates... and a number of specialty workshops. I've been to so so many studios, but Heartbeat has a magic I can't find anywhere else. read more

Since moving to the neighborhood, I have been looking for some light, fun, adult dance classes. I came upon Heartbeat House on yelp and gave it a try. They have a "try out" session of $44 for 11 days of classes (a steal if you ask me). So I tried out 4 classes. The Balletic Bare class, two Yoga Booty Ballet classes and the Cardio Disco. All of the classes were so enjoyable and light. You definitely got your heart rate up, but in a fun, easy going environment. All of the teachers were so nice and kind. I have now going their membership, and absolutely love it. 10/10 recommend. read more

I generally take shit care of my body, but once in a while, I get into fitness mode. I'm in one of these phases now, hoping it'll stick this time, even though my record does not inspire confidence. Back in 2015, when I lived in Los Feliz, my friend June K. turned me onto an exercise class called Yoga Booty Ballet, and for around six weeks, I kept up with it, going to Heartbeat House every Monday night. Then one Monday night, I didn't go, and I haven't been back in two years. I do like Heartbeat House. It's a friendly little yoga/pilates/dance studio on the main commercial stretch of Atwater Village, a short drive from my old place. I know a lot of people come here from all over the Eastside and beyond--one of my friends lives nowhere nearby and has been taking zumba classes here for years. It's a plain space, just one big mirrored room, ideal for a dance class except for the glass wall looking onto the street. I always tried to stand as far from the entrance as possible. There were all kinds of classes available, and several different class/membership packages. I think I got like a cheap first class and then bought a bundle of ten Yoga Booty Ballet classes. Sign-in was easy, though that narrow corridor of a waiting area was kind of cramped. We tried to arrive at least a few minutes before each class so we could get through the sign-in and find a good spot in the room (see above, re: distance from windows). So, Yoga Booty Ballet: it is about as ridiculous as it sounds, an exercise class based on yoga and dance, with a lot of affirmations and new agey frills. There was one number where we all played patty-cake and then held hands in a circle and pranced like we were maidens running around a maypole--if there were video of me doing this dance, I would pay a lot of money and maybe kill to have it burned. But Yoga Booty Ballet was also a good work-out and a fun, judgment-free class that got me motivated to leave the house and exercise, albeit for a short period of time. Our teacher was great (I think her name was Kristen?), though unfortunately I don't think she's there anymore. She was extremely cheerful and positive, and she finished each class with a sound bath, speaking softly at us while she played her crystal singing bowls. I now live a good 20- to 30-minute drive from Heartbeat House, so chances are low that I'll make a triumphant Yoga Booty Ballet comeback. My class package is also long expired. I didn't know when I bought it that I'd have to use all ten classes within six months of purchase--a somewhat obnoxious policy that basically ensured I'd never come back once I hit a lull. That said, I had a good time here while it lasted and would recommend this place if you're looking to take some fun classes in the area. I have fond, embarrassing memories of Yoga Booty Ballet. read more

I have been coming to Heartbeat House for over a decade and I am consistently grateful for the positive, uplifting, but nonetheless challenging classes that they offer. Their new location is peaceful and well-designed, and the instruction is top-notch. Kumbi is a fantastic teacher: she knows when to encourage and when to push, and she paces her class for maximum benefit for all of her students. Heartbeat House is a real gem-- a place that cultivates community as well as good health. read more

I think my expectations were a bit high after reading all of these reviews. However, I just didn't get the same vibe as others when I went. I did the new student deal, then purchased a package - I wish someone would have shown me how to check in, where towels are, whether there was a shower (I eventually found it, but does anyone use it? Is there a limit to time in it?) Most instructors are great - I have tried 5 different ones now. Enjoy the vibe of Dance For Your Life and UJam A LOT! However, others like MUEV8 are packed and even if you get there early, the instructor sometimes places people in front of you so you cannot check yourself in the mirror. (I tried it twice, Last time, she put her sister in front of me. Sigh.) Also, the more popular classes like Muev8 are a bit cliquey and RIDICULOUSLY crowded with people who know each other and apparently have been practicing the routines for years. Good luck not stepping into your classmates or being slapped when the whole room knows to twirl around except you. I enjoyed the classes but truly think that if each instructor would look out more for new people, explain the class, and perhaps, just have the person at the front desk say HELLO and make sure you have checked in (you basically just check in online then sit down in the lobby and no one checks if you have really paid for the class - these small things would go a long way towards a 5 star review. read more

On a fun strip of Glendale Blvd with all sorts of cool little coffee shops and restaurants, Heartbeat House offers an array of dance classes and it's only $5 for your first class and any class you take for the first week. What a bargain! They only have one studio room, but it's big and spacious and they have clean towels and weights so you don't need to bring your own. The instructors are friendly and cheerful and the clientele is pretty down to earth, regular folks so you don't feel like a dork if you get a move wrong or don't show up in the latest work out fashion. read more

I love this place! I've taken African dance with Jessica on Sundays a couple of times and her class is amazing! You will SWEAT. You will be DRENCHED head to toe. And it feels SO GOOD. I especially love that with every class there's a message and every movement has a meaning. The combos are so much fun to learn and even if you have trouble just shake it off and keep it movin. I wish I lived a little closer because then I'd take classes more often. LOVE HEARTBEAT HOUSE!!!! read more

I've been coming to Heartbeat House since 2013, and regularly take Kumbi's yoga classes. She is my favorite yoga teacher! I've attended other studios as well over the years, but I keep coming back to classes at HBH because the environment is so positive. I've also really loved Anna and Brandon's yoga classes, and enjoy HIIT, YBB, beginning ballet, and Zumba too. I love the community aspect to Heartbeat House. If you want to support local, POC, woman-owned business, that attracts a diverse clientele, this is your spot! Classes are streaming for now, but I can't wait to get back in the studio post-COVID! read more

Love heartbeat house, my 2 year old daughter does ballet with Ms. Harriet and loves it so much! Ms. Harriet is super patient with all the kids in the class and makes sure they don't get left out while still teaching the class. No clue how she does it all. It's been so fun to watch my daughters confidence grow and watch her learn new dance moves. My husband even took a workshop class on lower back, knee and hip pain and got so much out of it! read more

Heartbeat House - Morning ballet with ms. Harriet - Yoga Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I'm a big fan of Zumba. It's a good way to get some exercise in without feeling like a gym rat. A good way to "ditch the workout and join the party", indeed. I was looking for a good Zumba instructor and found Shawnee Rioles. She is talented. (Link - http://shawnee1.zumba.com/) The only reason I'm rating this as 4 stars is because the dance floor at the studio is a little worn out. Special: $5 per class for the first 7 days for locals $16 drop in Other pricing packages listed on their website Tip: You can also book classes on the MindBody app for convenience. Street parking is $1 an hour. ENJOY! read more

I'm kind of a clumsy dork. Uncoordinated. However, I love to dance. But having tired of doing Wii dance games at home & wanting to involve myself in an exercise regime that was fun AND burned alot of calories, I did a yelp search of the best places to take dance / zumba classes & HBH was a perfect fit - it rated very high on Yelp, was both close to home & affordable. For the first week of classes, one can take any class for only $5! I tried as many classes as I could that 1st week & found all of the classes really fun. I started out in the back of the class, but soon found that no one was pointing & laughing, so I moved to the front of the class so I can better watch the teacher's moves. There are students of every level of coordination - a handful of really sexy, young, dancers (jealous/hate 'em) & some like me - older, huffing & puffing not getting the steps right. However no one pretends to notice - it's all good. Like I said, I really liked all the classes I tried,..but I really love the Zumba classes with Shawnee & The U Jam Fitness with Jared! I've done the Zumba DVDs & Zumba Wii dance game to death & far prefer going to a live class where I burn twice as many calories as working out at home. Shawnee & Jared are just wonderful instructors, I always catch myself smiling or laughing at myself, because while I may be the only 1 stumbling around, it's so much fun. (Shawnee is in the Zumba Exhilarate DVD & I point her out & brag that she's my instructor) I can't say enough about the classes there - those classes would alone keep on going to the HBH! The class however that is the most crowded, has the most loyal students & gets me the most disgustingly sweaty is JP's Latin Jam class. JP apparently was THE zumba instructor at one time (on U-tube you can see him performing) & then within the last couple of years JP started Latin Jam, which another student at HBH described to me as "zumba on steroids"!! I love it! Some of the moves are tough, but the music is awesome, sexy Latin music mixed with techo, hip-hop - similar to zumba music. There are few breaks in JP's class, and the moves are more physically difficult. (JP is also a salsa instructor & it shows) My body is physically incapable of performing some of his moves, however, it still feels like dancing & is so much FUN, I'm really addicted to it! I just wish JP taught more often at HBH. :( I wear a heart rate monitor in class (I'm the only one -geek). But I love to see how hard I'm working & in JP's class I burn the most amount of calories, more than I do in the Zumba classes - usually more than 500! (Once I misread my heart-rate monitor & thought I burned a 1,000, posted that on Facebook, only to realize I was working my heart rate monitor incorrectly :( .....But 500 is still good. I read that to lose weight you need only a deficit of 500 calories, so I'm still happy that I burn that much. In comparison I burn only 150 for an hour of Zumba when done at home! LOSING WEIGHT: I met one young lady in JP's class (she goes to Shawnee's Zumba class too) who has been coming to class for a year & has lost almost 40 pounds! I spoke to one Zumba instructor & she also shared she lost a lot of weight, 25 lbs when she started doing Zumba, just by going to classes 3-4 times a week. Dance =Lose weight - brilliant! COST: True, HBH is more expensive than joining 24 Hr Fitness, but you can't get the type of motivating instructors there. After the 1st week, (excluding your b-day week when ea. class is $5 too!) each class will cost $15 BUT if you buy a package, you can reduce the price. Obviously, the bigger package you buy, the better deal you get. There is a package that for $150, you 'll get unlimited classes for a month! They're very nice & helpful at HBH; so ask & they'll suggest a good plan for u. Thanks Kumbi!!! PARKING: I'm lazy, so I park at one of the metered spaces on Glendale Blvd in front of HBH. The more economical option is to park on 1 of the side streets for free. The HBH is in a trendy safe area in Atwater Village close to many awesome restaurants and a very good wine bar, where you can go to balance out all the calories you've just burned. CONS: Like I said, HBH is not the cheapest way to go, so if you are pinching pennies you might try 24 Hr. Fitness (with a Costco membership u can become a member for very little). Another thing that kinda bugs me is that it can get really crowded in JP's & Shawnee's class. This is not a reason to not go, BUT I find it REALLY annoying to get there early & to have someone come in late & push themselves into a choice space in the front by the instructor, pushing me over to the side away from the air-conditioning :( I'd love a rule that no one should be able to get into class if more than 5 minutes late, but that 's just grumpy me. I get the same way if I don't get enough to eat. read more

So far, I've taken three classes (Samba, Zumba & Muev8) with their pretty cool new student special! For $5 a class your first week, you can take 55 min classes. Afterwards, the price goes back up to $15 a class, which is a little pricey in my opinion. Both classes I've taken have been fun and tiring but they've also been very different... Some of their classes are meant to teach a skill/dance, these I felt were less cardio and more skill teaching. Pretty cool if that's what you want. The cardio classes like Zumba and Muev8 are more for those who want a total workout. I absolutely loved Muev8! Marilyn is great at what she does. However! I do wish the were more welcoming towards new students, it would help a lot. I guess all the staff being more friendly would help. I also wish someone would have told me about the STUDENT ID DISCOUNT? read more

We LOVE Heartbeat House!!! My 3 year old takes Toddler Ballet and Miss Alessia is AMAZING. My daughter loves this class so much. It's a sweet neighborhood spot that's fun, affordable and has so many offerings! read more

this is such a fun place for girls (mostly) to get a fun workout without being self conscious. parking's not too bad, you get a great mix of women who wanna work out but bored with the humdrum ways of working out. I'm excited - they're going to offer hula dancing soon. they also offer samba, burlesque, african dance, bollywood, ... the music makes all the difference. and it's definitely ok to not be coordinated! You know it's fun when walkers-by, from kids to dogs (and sometimes creepy dudes), peer through to see what's shakin' in there. read more

There are plenty of reasons why you should come here, as the abundance of reviews have already noted. For me, the cost per class is a bit steep so take advantage of the new student $5/class offer to see if you really want to commit. I do love the way HH is a welcome place for non dancers and dancers alike. I took several classes, and enjoyed them, but I'm not entirely sure whether I'll come back right away. Mostly because I just couldn't really get enough of a workout. I have good endurance and was really looking for a cardio workout but just didn't get enough. Part of it is because I'm concentrating on the choreography so I am trying to remember a routine which for me, equals more brain thinking and less range of movement. All classes were fun though. Some instructors mix up the class with light weights and it sorta cuts the cardio short which was a little disappointing, but if you want variety in the workout, it's a plus for you. The Bollywood Aerobics was probably the most cardio. I didn't take any Zumba or Latin aerobic classes and those might be good cardio, but I've taken a lot of Zumba at other places and I seem to encounter the same issue - one or two really high energy instructors, but most end up being much more moderate and it's not enough of a workout. I like taking strength/cardio classes at the gym and was really wanting a place to vary up the routine, but I don't think HH is enough. Or maybe I'm just too choreographically challenged to get the most out of it. At times, I was thinking I would get a better workout just out dancing on a Saturday night. But I do appreciate the community feel of HH and may come back to check out another class or two to give it another shot. read more

Cannot say enough wonderful Things about heartbeat house! The owner and her family are amazing. And the variety of classes she has is phenomenal! They keep a family environment here. And kumbi is all about community. Lifting people up to their full potential. How can you not want to be apart of that? read more

I just moved into the neighborhood and for the last month I've walked by this place with high hopes of meeting new friends and getting my sweat on. So I finally went in to get some information on classes. The person at the front desk was extremely rude when I asked about class sizes and then told me to go online for more info. The Zumba class I witnessed looked really basic and the instructor pretty much phoned it in. He actually checked his phone twice during the 10 min I was there. DURING THE CLASS. Sad to say not my new exercise spot in my neighborhood. read more

Wow, almost three years since my initial Heartbeat House review! The wonderful and talented instructors, great daily variety of classes, and friendly and supportive staff and HH community have helped me achieve my fitness and weight loss goals. Before I started taking aerobic dance classes, exercise always seemed like a chore, and one that I would put off all too often. Now I look forward to staying fit hrough dance! I tend to take the cardio-centric dance classes, but the classes run the gamut from heart-pumping, to technique and choreography driven, to more mellow options. They also have yoga and pilates classes at the studio. I am a heartbeat house devotee!!! My only wish is that the airconditioning system undergoes an upgrade...the poor ventilation/circulation can make for some uncomfortably hot and sweaty workouts. read more

I've taken a few classes here: Bollywood, Zumba, Yoga Booty Ballet, and a candlelight yoga class. All of the instructors are great, it's a friendly environment and a cute little studio. The sound system is good. I just wasn't feeling the format of the yoga booty ballet, so I only took it once, but that's just personal taste. The Bollywood instructor is really great. I bring my own mat for yoga and the floors were clean enough when I was there, so I didn't have any of the cleanliness issues that other people mentioned. They started offering some kids classes, which is nice, but they are mainly for ages 5-9. It's so hard to find yoga and dance classes for the 10-14 age group, it would be great if they are able to expand their kids program. read more

This is my happy place. Not pretentious, good vibes, great teachers and it's more than just dance for your body, it's for your soul. So happy I found Heartbeat house. It feels like a community. LA drives me crazy but this place grounds me and brings me joy! read more

Class: Beginning Ballet & Floor Barre Parking: Street parking. It was okay, bearable. Location: In a fun part of Silver Lake. Go ahead and run errands or grab something to eat afterwards. The studio has a bathroom/changing room with a shower. I noticed a big puddle on the floor when I was there (after someone took a shower?) Eww. Level: I took this class when I wanted to start ballet up again. I found the class pretty beginner friendly, you can even consider it an intro level ballet class. If you compare it to beginning ballet at Ballet Bodies or Barboza Method, this was even more beginner friendly and casual than those. If you've always wanted to try ballet as an adult, but were too intimated to take a beginning ballet classes filled with people who have been dancing for a while; well, this class is for you. Also, the instructor has a super sweet personality, and is helpful without putting the spotlight on you (she also teaches at dance at Pilates and Arts) Structure: Like the title of the class, it doesn't follow the structure of a traditional ballet class. I've never done a lot of ballet sequences on laying on the ground (helpful in turnout practice), so that was something different and unusual. If you are looking for a more traditional ballet approach, with center practice, this place might not work as well (there is an intermediate class at this studio; but I haven't taken it). read more

I love this studio so much! The owner and the teachers are just fantastic. Super community oriented and non competitive studio which is so rare, combined with amazingly skilled teachers that sincerely care about their students. I have to offer a deep bow of gratitude to Alessia Bonacci-- her 'Dance for Your Life' and Bollywood aerobics classes absolutely saved my life during the pandemic. She is not only a highly skilled professional dancer and teacher but a sincere and uplifting person who really cares about her students and the community. She follows up on a personal level and makes sure everyone feels included, welcome and invested in their mental and physical wellbeing through dance, movement and intentional mindsets. I made it through the pandemic because of her teaching and energy and have met amazing people through her classes and through this studio. My niece was even able to take Alessia's livestream kids ballet classes all through the pandemic which literally saved her from morphing into some kind of combination cartoon cookie child since she consumed so much of both throughout covid when not ballet-ing. Thank you Alessia for saving the children! I also love Kumbee and Laura's HIIT and yoga classes and all the teachers. The studio is affordable and accessible and welcoming to students of all ages, I can't say enough good things about what these teachers have collectively built and given to the community. Miao. read more

I am so grateful to have this place in the neighborhood. It creates such a warm sense of community. You will feel comfortable moving your body no matter what your skill level is. read more

Because I decided that the gym doesn't agree with my lifestyle. I don't like waiting for him to finish sweating on the elliptical so I can get my sweat on. To hell with that. I love dancing, I need to exercise, why not go to a dance studio to get my cardio on? I love the Heartbeat House because: 1. Its in Atwater Village. 2. I live in A-town 3. Its inexpensive [$5 for your first week and you're allowed to try any classes you like. $15 a class thereafter or you can get package deals] 4. the studio is spacious enough to not step on your neighbors foot 5. I get to watch other folks stare at my chest through the huge mirrors in front 6. My instructor was hot Park on the street. You have your choice: in front, to the side, or on a residential street. I have only been here on the weekends and I find parking to be fairly easy. I wanted to go into detail about the class I attended, but I don't want to make it strange for me next time I go, so I'll update this in due time. read more

Is it DANCE? Is it FITNESS? I can't tell the difference, and that's what makes HH a no brainer in the burning calories department. It's $5 for newbs for each class for the first week so you can try out different styles, times, teachers, etc. on the cheap to craft out your ideal workout/dance schedule. From Bollywood to Latin to Yoga to Kickboxing to Zumba, you name it, they've probably got a class catering to those fancy foot moves. I'm still in my first week and surprisingly really enjoy the Zumba classes (at one point I used to laugh hysterically at Zumba classes from afar because they looked so cheesy, which was a workout in itself, but aren't I the fool!). I've only attended the late afternoon/evening classes and get there about 10-15 minutes early with no issues. The class size is comfortable and they have water for sale in case you forgot some liquid refreshment, and complimentary towels to wipe your sweat off. And, there's a whole lot of that happening! Metered parking in front (free after 8pm, all day on Sunday). Not all classes are created equal, but that's half the fun of HH, trying to figure out which ones you like busting a move to and which ones leave you busted up! read more

Applying for a student discount at Heartbeat House is a more scrutinous process than applying to a PHD Program at an Ivy League University. For example if you are a FULL time student, but you are on Summer/Winter breaks you are no longer eligible for the student discount. This is ridiculous, because the time a student is most likely to take advantage of dance classes is during school holidays. but OH NO, if you are not enrolled in classes at the time you want to attend Heartbeat House then you are not eligible for the student discount and will be turned away. so while the discount is awesome: $5 OFF for students, it might as well not exist since it has so many contingencies that make it almost impossible for students to actually take advantage of it. Best Class here is Amazing 80s. All other classes you can take at any other gym or dance studio. Marissa is really nice but you don't really get a good workout in her Zumba class. You have fun and you enjoy yourself, but you don't break a sweat. Latin Jam will raise your heartbeat but, again you can take this class at any other studio. Burlesque Ballet sounded good, and i took it and hated it! I consider myself an advanced salsa dancer and an intermediate all-around dancer, and i had a hard time following the instructor in this class. the bathrooms are clean. the dance studio has large floor to ceiling mirrors and windows that face the outside. People walking by can stop and watch as you dance your calories away. if you are not shy, like me, you might enjoy the limelight, but if you are a bit more reserved, maybe this is not the place for you. I don't want to support a business that doesn't support the students in its community. I hear that the new gym that opened just a few doors down is pretty amazing and offers dance classes too, plus competitive deals! read more
