Here’s what some students are saying about Shoebox...

“I've never been to a dance studio that felt as welcoming and encouraging as this space. It really blew my mind to find such instant community. As a bit of a newbie to the world of trained dance, this warm atmosphere has made a huge difference for me. I love the personalized attention you get from small classes.
This isn't to say that they don't challenge you there. They do for sure.
You will get your moneys worth if you would like to be pushed. It's that it's done out of a place of love and community. I would encourage anyone, novice or expert, to check this place out!” -Whitney M.


“This is such a great studio! I've tried their $5 Pilates on Saturday mornings and Hip-Hop class on Thursday evenings. Cera is a great instructor and
makes you feel so welcome and comfortable in your own skin. I've been to other studios where I've felt like I was auditioning for a workout video and was relieved to have found Shoebox Studio!! It's like going to a friend's house for a good workout.” - Nina L.


“The company I work for started a weekly group yoga session at ShoeBox a couple months back. I had never done yoga before, and decided to give it a shot to work on my flexibility.
I'm very happy I started, and I plan on sticking with it for a long time to come. Cera is a great instructor. I always leave class feeling relaxed and refreshed.” - Chris Q.


“Now I consider myself a pretty in shape guy. I run, I do lots of yoga, I work out occasionally, but wow. After Michelle's boot camp my but and quads are SORE!! It was a great class.
The studio is really cute and after my bootcamp I took the Champagne pilates class with Cera. In addition to being a really great instructor, when the class was over we popped open a bottle of champagne and had a couple glasses. It's a pretty awesome way to ring in 2pm on a friday=)” - Mark G.


“Ohhh ShoeBox....this studio is my sanctuary. I cannot imagine any place better than the ShoeBox to learn about the body, mind and spirit.
Cera and her teachers provide a
safe, healthy, warm learning environment for all students All the instructors bring such a wonderful variety of skill and training to their classes and are all incredibly talented individuals with great energy and beautiful spirits. They are patient, motivating, encouraging, and down to earth.
The classes leave nothing to be desired-everything from yoga to ballet to belly dance and some core-rockin' Pilates is offered, and each class is as fun and fabulous as the next. I've never left a class without having learned something new about myself and my body. Anyone can benefit from taking classes at ShoeBox. Bottom line? The teachers are awesome, the classes are lots of fun, and the price is just right.” - Claire Bear







Taking classes at Shoebox feels more like going to a friend's house to have fun dancing in their living room. I keep coming back to shake it (like a chihuahua, but more gracefully and with more technique), the hurt-so-good stretching, and the often hilarious wisdom to be gained from the lovely instructors.
