Dynamic Dance and Fitness

For my 500^th review, I’d like to bring Dynamic Dance into the spotlight! One of my co-​workers introduced me to Zumba, and I am so thankful she did. Zumba has been a great way to incorporate exercise into my lifestyle. I love dancing, and I love the music; it’s a lot of fun. My co-​worker told me about this studio. If you are new, they let you try a class for free to test it out. They also offer various payment options — classes per month or class by class. After my first class, I loved it so much that I was attending classes almost five times a week or even back to back classes.
My favorite instructor was Jaime. You can probably recognize him right away with his bright shoes or dyed hair. I think he was a huge reason why I enjoyed Zumba so much. He was fun, creative, and spirited. His classes are usually most crowded. I tried the regular zumba, zumba toning, and zumba step classes. Zumba toning is probably the toughest one, but you feel so good afterwards! Each class is about an hour. They have updated calendars by month, but they’re pretty much the same every week. I think they also post it outside in case they’re not open. They put together special events every once in a while, so you should ask Jaime if it’s not on the calendar.
The dance studio is a bit small, but there are cubicles on either side of the entrance to put your personal belongings. There is one restroom toward the back of the studio. They have yoga mats and some dumbbells for the toning classes. Generally the attendees here are moms or older women. I’ve seen only a handful of young adults and maybe some kids who come with their moms. Since I moved out of the desert, I’m still looking for a dance studio and instructor as great as these guys here!

I’ve been a member of this studio for three months or so and absolutely love it. So many fun people and always high energy. Instructors are easy to follow and make it a great workout for all fitness levels and all ages. Many moms have to bring children and they’re always welcome. While I have seen staff speak to both children and parents on occasion regarding behavior, it’s always been for safety reasons and concerns regarding giving members the best, safest workout possible, and has always been handled with respect. I’ve never seen anyone asked to leave, and I was present on the day mentioned in the earlier review. It was an issue of safety for everyone involved. Come out to a class and it will definitely brighten your day. The energy is amazing!

worst zumba studio ever! the teachers lack experience and are constantly off on their dances!!! also if you have children they make you feel unwelcome, my son was behaving and not bothering anybody but we still got kicked out. go somewhere else this place sucks !!!

Quite simply the best dance and fitness classes I have ever gone to. Came to Palm Springs in early January and my first priority was to find a gym where I could work out to great music and meet new people. This place took a couple of weeks to find but is worth every minute spent. Music is fabulous and loud and the energy in the studio is like nothing I have experienced before. And I have attended many dance classes in the past!!! Jaime is absolutely the best dance instructor I have ever seen. And his weight class is just as good. In fact in part because I so enjoyed these classes, we extended our stay in Palm Springs for an extra three weeks — was supposed to leave feb 28^th but stayed longer. My classes with Jaime are one of the highlights of my y here in Palm Springs. I am counting on him being here next year when we return for another three months. And women at the door who checks people in is equally lovely. Thanks for helping to make my stay here so wonderful!!!

Jam packed Zumba class with the mega star Jaime .The energy, classy and the charisma, what an awesome class to start our holiday weekend. Thank you and have a safe and happy 4^th Zumba peeps…

I have been going to Dynamic Dance and Fitness with Barby for 3 years. My life has changed so much. I was 240 lbs when I started and have lost over 60. The classes are fun with a twist. She incorporates fitness with AB classes, Toning, health and wellness and weightlosss challenges. The instructors are fun and you will get a great workout, so be prepared to sweat. Barby’s husband David is also at the helm and gives so much support. They also have Boot Camp classes with an awesome instructor LaMar and Estelle. Ladies if you are heavy and feel you do not have any hope just step into one of Barby’s classes and it will not only change your life but it will change how you feel about yourself because they will not let you feel any different. You do not have to dance perfect or do the moves correctly, just start moving and everything will fall into place. It did for me. I have not only learned to dance and get in shape, I have become a part of a family.
