From the reviews
“I have been practicing Classical Pilates for 20+ years and I have visited acclaimed and accomplished studios around the country. When we first moved to St Louis 8 years ago I explored 2 other studios.
Originally, I chose Central Studio because of the locations, but I stayed because I love the classes and I feel accepted, encouraged, and like a member of a family. I also enjoy the company of my classmates. If I were to tell someone else about the studio, I'd say, Go!
Central Studio is one of the best places in St Louis for dance, Pilates, and Gyrotonic, and my Gyrotonic session with Rachel Brown was superb, she has an excellent grasp of movement minutiae, and is so much fun and a delight to work with, so DO NOT PASS GO but GO TO CENTRAL STUDIO, your body, and mind, will thank you,…
I started going to Central Studio to have an exercise class and to strengthen my core. I have been taking the Saturday Pilates class for two years now and I love it! The instructor is Amy who is the best instructor I have ever had and is so experienced and it is a fun class. I look forward to this class every week.
Your first ballet class at Central Studio
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.
