Tap
Rhythm tap in the lineage of Glover & Hines. Shoes available for hire.

Kids & Family
Creative movement (ages 3-6), ballet & hip-hop (7-12), parent-tot Saturdays.
For everybody — not somebodies.
We started Rhythm & Grace in 2010 to make the kind of studio we wished we’d trained in: rigorous when it mattered, kind always, and never the property of any one body type or background. Twelve years on, we’ve taught over twenty thousand classes — and made plenty of friends in the process.
Drop in on a Sunday open studio, take a free trial class any weekday, or commit to a season and join us on stage at BAM Fisher in May.

The annual showcase.
Every May we take the season to BAM Fisher. Two evenings, twelve numbers, eight styles — every R&G student is eligible to audition, every member is on the call sheet.
From the students.
“I came in at 38, never danced a step. Mira put me at the barre and three years later I’m doing Saturday class with my daughter. Best Tuesday-Thursday habit I’ve ever had.”
“The hip-hop cypher Friday is the best night out in Brooklyn. Devon teaches you the choreo and then he’ll spin a couple records and the whole studio dances til midnight. Show me another studio that does that.”
“My kid is six, painfully shy, and would not let go of my hand for the first three lessons. By week six she was leading the recital number. Studio is patient, beautiful, and full of light.”
