What people say about Alegria...

Caitlin & Annie

"Joining Femme Fusion at Alegria has been a joy-filled rediscovery of movement, connection, and self-expression.  From the first class we were met with warmth, encouragement and an infectious sense of fun.  Each week's theme is an exciting surprise - whether it's playful and bold, or sultry and strong, Jodie invites us to explore, express and enjoy being in our own bodies.  As sisters, it's been so special to share this time together.  The class has reignited a love of dance that had quietly been on pause, and we are so grateful to be part of a community that is inclusive, uplifting and deeply accepting.

Thank you for making every Tuesday evening feel like a celebration of feminine energy, where we find our inner dancer again and let go into beautiful movement."

It feels like home and our classes are the highlight of my week."

"My husband and I have been loving our Salsa dance classes with Alegria!  Having never tried anything like this before, we were nervous to start but it’s been such a fun way to connect, with tons of laughter and a great vibe.

The class is well-structured, making it easy to learn while keeping things lively and enjoyable.

 

Highly recommend it for couples looking to spice up their date nights!"

“Learning to dance as an adult was a little daunting but I am so glad I found Alegria.

The classes are inclusive, regardless of personal ability and everyone is welcoming. The dance teachers are very supportive and make learning to dance as an adult so much fun.

 

I have been dancing at Alegria for two years and have enjoyed every moment!”

"In following my partner, Jen, into Latin dance I've found new levels of connection. Bringing together musicality, sensitivity and unity of movement was a challenge.

​

Over time my two left feet fell into step, and when we move together in the physical conversation of dance, it's really quite magical.

 

Thank you to the Alegria team for showing us this new way of being, and for the bonus warm community of fellow learners."

"Still buzzing from last night's Latin dance party!

Apart from a great turn out and a great bunch of people, with the work we've been doing (in our private lessons), for the first time I didn't feel I was letting dance partners down from not knowing enough dance moves.

Such a boost to my dancing confidence, so exciting!  I know there is a lot more that I can learn, but this is a brilliant place to be working from."​

"There are moments on the dance floor when a move works, the beat resonates and my dance partner smiles.
 
These moments are nothing short of magic."
