From the reviews

We hosted my girls baby shower at CYD over the weekend and worked closely with Candis every step of the way. Candis was very responsive, easy and nice to interact with and very accommodating especially since we were working with a somewhat tight budget.

What an excellent venue for an amazing event. Ms. Candis and her staff were very helpful every step of the way and kindly greeted us with open arms. The propert is clean and the lighting was beautiful, perfect for my daughter's Sweet 16 Party. Thank you so much Crenshaw Yoga & Dance for opening your doors.

This is wonderful space in this neighborhood. The studio rooms are excellent. My family and I are very excited for the new Kids Program at CYD. The fist moment my daughter walked in she said, “I want to do this class forever”. The teacher, Janelle, has a great command of the kids.

★★★★★ — Natasha, Sep 2023

What a welcoming team and environment! Very serene and very clean! I love the lotus paintings on the walls! A great place for group cardio classes as well! Taj & Mark offer amazing Cardio Kickboxing classes throughout the week! Ample free parking at the end of the block! Love this place!

Your first ballet class at Crenshaw Yoga & Dance

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
