I have been taking virtual classes for about two months now and I can’t say enough positive things about The Ballet Spot. I never took any kind of dance growing up and, while I'm athletic, I'm pretty sure I have two left feet and two left arms. This is not something that comes easy to me! BUT class is truly a judgment-free zone. I ended up in a private class led by Maiya, who could not have been more positive and encouraging. I'm sure she would have rather been somewhere else on a Friday night than watching me flail on Zoom! But she never showed it. I also love pilates with Deepa and Cardio Barre with Eliza, which is a sneaky tough class! The YouTube recording is a really awesome perk if work prevents me from getting to class.

Super fun virtual way to learn ballet as an adult. No judgment, challenging, but rewarding. Eliza is full of energy and kind. The choreography is beautiful with the selected music. Every month the dance sequence built on itself and it is so enjoyable to dance it.

As someone who took dance classes as a child, this is such a fun way to exercise! My instructor Deepa Liegel hit all the points. She broke down the combination throughout the class so we were warmed up and prepared to do the moves. The energy was upbeat and positive. There was enough challenge and personality in the piece, and she offered modifications so anyone could access it. As a bonus, she gave us background info on the style of ballet we were learning. I feel fortunate to take class at my level, from my apartment with such a talented instructor. I will be back!
