Wednesday nights, Cost $10: classes start 8 pm for beginners and intermediate 8:45,

Dancing until 2 am. Very casual grungy atmosphere, sticky carpet and badly cared for dance floor so don't wear your best ball room dance shoes! but good class for beginning and intermediate students. Hit or miss for finding people to dance with but fun.

I took the introductory workshop which was very basic and broke every move down and guided the students through it. Very nice little studio and caring teachers. If you have experience I recommend diving in to one of the faster classes as the workshops tend to go over the basics in exhaustive detail.

I love Eva's Wednesday and Saturday class is a nice flow yoga combined with relaxation. The classes have tended to be slow because the studio is new so she tailors the class level to the students. They also have a great permaculture education curriculum.

Pilates

Victoria Kelly offers private and small groups of 2 to 4 people in her lovely intimate loft studio.She has a well equipped studio with all the equipment, mats, balls and rolls you could want and lots of variety in her workouts. I came by to look at the studio and ended up co teaching when she had to pick me up at BART. You definitely need a car to get there but the studio is convexity located just off the freeway.
