Vega Dance Lab

Heard about Vega from a friend and decided to try it. As an inexperienced beginner dancer, I felt relieved to feel welcomed and challenged by the class aside from having fun of course.

Diversity, fun, and a good challenge--that's what you can expect to find at Vega Dance+Lab. I've been coming here for years now, but I still remember my first visit like it was yesterday. I walked in feeling nervous because I wasn't a seasoned dancer and my previous experiences trying to take dance classes in Portland had all resulted in finding myself in a room with professional dancers or 14-year-olds, in other words, total embarrassment. Vega was exactly what I had always dreamed of. The classes are typically brimming with a diverse mix of adults from all age ranges; as a 30-something, I feel like I'm the median age. Other students are generally welcoming and non-judgmental. The teachers are knowledgable, creative, and kind, yet they always push you to be your best and move past boundaries. The choreography and workouts are bold and sometimes challenging, but in a way that makes you feel proud of yourself when you leave. At this point, I think of Vega as my place of dance worship. I know that I can walk in feeling stressed out, and leave feeling elated. New dancers (and those who have never taken a class in their life) my advice to you is to come in and try a beginning class or workout class with an open mind. You will probably end up falling in love like I did.
