From the reviews

This was a fantastic experience in dance and exercise. I love that there are no mirrors, the instructor is in the middle of the group, and it’s completely at your speed and ability. Freedom, creativity, expression, and fun around like minded people of all ages! I parked on the street in front as the lot was full.

Kate has done it again!! What an absolutely wonderful community class she developed again!! Just wow. She is such a magnet and knows how to get beginners to expert movers explore their joy and possibilities. I am a total fan of her and her concept, talent and creation.

Quality location. Clean, and the staff is awesome. Parking might be difficult when both studios are rented out though. A safe space for the community. Great place to showcase your talent, and network with individuals in the dance world.

I attended a dance class there for Dance Church. It has it's own parking lot and there is street parking as well. We met in what looked like a large performance space which was perfect for the class. I would definitely return for another class at that location.

Your first ballet class at Stomping Ground L.A.

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.
