    When you want to feel redeemed, go sweat it out at The Sweat Spot!

    The Sweat Spot is one of my favorite things about LA. I had always wanted to dance, but didn’t have the courage to do it until I discovered Sweaty Basics. The Sweat Spot is an inviting / non-judgemental and supportive environment that challenges you to be yourself. If you don’t have a garbage heart, Sweat Spot is your place.

    I love this place so much. I can’t believe I’m a grown ass woman learning to dance for the first time in my life. It’s so liberating and no one is judgey. The sweat spot is pure joy. Never had a bad teacher or experience.

ABOUT THE SWEAT SPOT

The Sweat Spot was Ryan Heffington’s warm and welcoming dance studio in the heart of Silverlake. It was a 2200 square foot space and a hub of the east side arts community. The classes included ballet, contemporary, modern, jazz, hip hop, dance fitness, Gaga, Pilates and a variety of emerging dance styles and fitness classes specific to the 18 amazing teachers and choreographers who called The Sweat Spot their home for 10 years.

Most of the classes that were offered at The Sweat Spot’s physical location, were all levels and it was totally common to see complete beginners and professional dancers sweating side by side.  We welcomed and still do welcome new dancers, returning dancers, career dancers and anyone who wants to experience the joy of moving your body on our live-streaming Instagram classes. Spend some time on our website watching the archival videos of the classes we hosted in the space, follow us on Instagram and join-in the online dance community that lives on long after the physical space of the Sweat Spot.
