The programs they offer
“I recommend trying out a 4 or 6 week series of group classes and then taking a private lesson (first one is half price with a promo).”

From the reviews
I absolutely love the salsa classes at By Your Side! The teachers Deborah, Laura and Guillermo are friendly, fun, and patient! My favorite class is level 2 salsa on Sundays with Deborah.
I rented the Broadway Ballroom for 2 hours to have a zumba class with my friends. Rate was reasonable and renting the space was easy to do. The space was perfect, lots of light, mirrors, and a speaker system.
One of the best places on LA! Professional teachers, variety of classes, always fun. Recently opened this location, bigger of space, bright room with big windows. Sunset is amazing!
If you don’t know about By Your Side, you may not be a local! This is THE place to go if you’re getting married not to mention for dance hobbyists. West-siders have been trusting their first/ father daughter / mother son / bridal party dances to Bysd for over 10 years.
Adult ballet at By Your Side Dance Studio Marina Del Rey
By Your Side Dance Studio Marina Del Rey runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at By Your Side Dance Studio Marina Del Rey
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
