I stopped in to the Little 5 Points studio for a workout class a few months ago and have been coming back twice or three times a week since. You get pulled in by the sense of community, the warm, welcoming environment, and the huge variety of interesting classes. Seriously, the number of classes I want to take when they release their calendar is always more than my body or wallet will allow. You can learn not just traditional Middle Eastern belly dance, but hula, bhangra, tribal dance, hip-hop/belly dance fusion... the list goes on. And on top of that, you can learn to add props to your dance repertoire (sword dance, anyone?). Plus, the super warm, all-female environment has taught me to embrace my sensual, feminine side (which doesn't get to come out much in my day-to-day life). The only downside is, as some others have pointed out, every time you show up to class you're tempted to empty your wallet on the beautiful belly dance clothes and accessories on sale at all studio locations. This place has added so much to my life, I highly recommend it to anyone.
