Crenshaw Yoga & Dance Studio

Crenshaw Yoga and Dance is an amazing dance studio. The classes are reasonable as well. For 10 years it was $ 10, and it is now $ 15 a class. However they they have various class packages that you can purchase to make classes $ 11 a class with a 10 class card. I attend Yoga for Beginners with Adrienne on Tuesdays, she is a 75 year old woman who is amazing at teaching and what she does. In addition, I attend dancehall on Wednesdays with Moiika, and it is amazing. She is so fun and awesome! Her class is outstanding and you get the most amazing work out. Sherida’s deep stretch class on Thursdays is also awesome! Go to this place, you won’t be dissapointed!

I’ve had the pleasure of taking Dancehall Class w/​Moiika for the past few weeks. She is incredible at her craft, the girl is BADDDD! She is a very supportive and patient instructor. No matter your physique, fitness, or dance level… she definitely will give you something to groove to, feel good about, and look good while doing it! She breaks things down with execution of choreo, to «jus feelin deh vibe», and go with «your own swag» And when there are steps I can’t quite catch, it gives me motivation to improve so I am always looking forward to the next class. I would pay for just the warm up and cool down portions of class, effective stretching to the sexy vibe of dancehall music… LOVE THAT!!! Only problem is… I leave class too hyped up, which could lead to potential «RUDE GAL» behavior! lol GREAT CLASS, THANK YOU MOIIKA!

Wonderful, wonderful little studio just south of Leimert Park. The mindful yoga is amazing. Very friendly atmosphere. And she has studio rentals too! Would make a great salsa dance floor or event reception!

This gem in the heart of Crenshaw offers small, intimate classes and rentaable space for all kinds of events!

Nice, spacious studio with one of my favorite dance classes — Dancehall L.A. with Moiika (currently on Wednesday nights at 8:30). She is such a fantastic teacher, from the moves and choreography to her deep knowledge of the music. A dancer and an educator who will make sure you leave sweating and smiling.

Okay, tonight was my third Zumba class of the week. I have been on a quest to find the perfect Zumba class. My first class this week was at The Aerobic Room on Crenshaw… great class… I then tried Zumba with David Aldana at the Party Rock Fitness Studion in Culver City. David’s focused on toning and conditioning… Tonight was Zumba class with Chloe at the Crenshaw Yoga and Dance Studio on Crenshaw/​54^th St. in Los Angeles. I must say this was a supper dance fun Zumba class and will become on Wednesday class of choice.
Chloe the instructor was a lots of fun, has a great personality and energetic. Tonight was her first class at Crenshaw Yoga and Dance and I will certainly be going again next Wednesday night. It was Zumba Dance party. Come check it out.
I was invited by the owner of the Crenshaw Yoga and Dance, Kar Lee Young, who is so very friendly and very nice. The studio offers Yoga, Zumba, Tai Chi, Drumming and Meditation classes for all levels. Thank you Kar Lee I had a fantastic time and I will see you next week.
Classes are affordable…$ 5 per class… skip McDonald and come dance off your extra pounds instead.

I attended the Restorative Yoga class taught by Sherida and it was absolutely amazing. The owner, Andrew, was very nice and greeted me with a smile as soon as I arrived. Classes are $ 10 but because it was my first class at the studio, I only paid $ 5. Sherida did an amazing job setting the atmosphere with candles and soft lighting. I was sweating within the first 2minutes of her class. Her teaching methods relaxes, tense muscles, strengthens the core, OPENS the body and will make you burn calories QUICK. I will definitely be returning.

I love it people are nice the teacher too I really recomend it come on you got to try it

I recently completed the 8 week Dancehall class with Moiika. It was excellent! With fun n authentic dance moves, a sweating workout, and she brings good vybes all the time! She taught us how to bend, wind n grind our bodies, pop, and much more all while presenting attitude w/​dance. I highly recommend this class for an alternative form of exercise and to learn dancehall. She will not leave you behind, if you wanna learn the move, she’ll make sure of it. Not a boring «and 5, 6, 7, 8» but really engaging and did I mention FUN!!! I have so much more rhythm dancing than I did b4. Much thanks Moiika!!!

Update May 2013: I’ve been taking Debbie now for over a year and I LOVE IT! I am now one of her assistants at the Baldwin Mall when we have Zumba there, she’s a REALLY great instructor and I’m so happy I found her!!! I feel great and haven’t been this excited about getting in shape in a long time… plus I’ve shedded INCHES and and pounds and I’m happy…

If you are looking for a small and friendly place to do Zumba or yoga this is it! Great instructors and many different classes available. So happy I found it. I haven’t tried the dance classes yet, but looking forward to a great time just like I’ve been having with my Zumba classes with Debi.

I had the pleasure of taking the Zumba class with Debi! Love the energy! One day I will be able to complete the class with stopping in the middle. Lol!

I chose this place based on the reviews of the others. I’ve got to tell you… you will SWEAT. I thought my heart was going to jump OUT my chest and yell «STOP IT» at me. You must bring water. Ladies, tie the «girls» down. They will slap in the face if not properly secured. Debbie was phenomenal. I am so out of shape. I wanted to stop after 25 minutes. But I wanted my $ 5 worth. LOL. I shall be returning. Parking on the side of the studio is metered so bring quarters. Andrew was very gracious. He took the money and the paperwork. There were a lot of ladies there. I want to say about 15 – 20 of us. They have bathrooms there where you can change. They have a special right now, $ 60 for 10 classes. They also have yoga, but this big gal needs to move something. It was so much fun-​it reminded me of my college/​club days. The music is switched up. Michael Jackson, Tito Puente, Sean Paul, reggaeton, Luther Campbell. You’re gonna shake yo money maker.
I’ve also got to add– the ladies who are suffering & sweating with you are SO encouraging! Honestly. You’d want to come back for the camaraderie.
Debbie will give you her card and where’s she’s teaching Zumba at next.
She’ll say, «Call me.»
You’ll be thinking, «Stalk you» because it’s so much fun!

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I’ve grown to love this studio. I purchased a 10-​Class Zumba pass after trying the first class for only $ 5. The people — both staff and clients — are friendly and kind. Be sure to take some quarters/​loose change for the meters in case you can’t grab a spot on the left side (non-​metered). Very cool spot, check it out!

Very small and cozy studio. Clean and affordable prices.

I have been going to CYD off and on for about 3 years and I just love Adrienne. She is proficient in Yoga and her years of experience show! She is such a wonderful instructor. She talks you through your moves and assists you when you need it.
I took Zumba for the first time there last week with Desiree and she was great! She taught me more Zumba moves than I knew before.

I love Crenshaw Yoga & Dance! All the people are great, and the classes are fun and affordable. I love that they work for all levels — they adjust the work based on your wants and needs. So far I’ve taken hot room yoga and Capoeira. I’m excited to try Zumba, belly dancing, and ballroom dancing!
It’s a very cleanly place and you can easily find free parking. They also provide yoga mats if you do not have your own.

Great studio. Attended a Beginners Yoga class. Adrienne made it seem so simple… especially since I’ve never done yoga before. The atmosphere was relaxing with no pressure to feel like you needed to be a pro. I truly enjoyed the experience and definitely will be going back. Also, prices are very affordable which sold me from the start.

OMG, so I went back for the samba class and left knowing that I was out of shape. The instructor made my butt work! She’s really good and encourages you to get the steps correct and give 100%. I had a fantastic workout, and went back the following Saturday for Samba and Belly dancing class right after…11:45 — 2:00- now that was a great workout!
I will be back !!

About 2 months ago I went on a pole dancing/​burlesque quest and my search landed me at several classes all over the city. Some were too easy and others were not really a work out on their own, because they were only effective as a long series.
I just wanted a fun dance class with a burlesque twist that didn’t need a big commitment but offered a great work out.
That brought me to Mecca Andrews Burlesque Ballet class at 7 pm on Thursdays. Mecca is a cute and spunky instructor who is super supportive and easy to follow. Her class is challenging and fun at the same time. And sooooo affordable at $ 10.
This class is a winner, love it!
