Rhythm & Motion (R&M) was founded in 1979 by Consuelo Faust in San Francisco and is now merging to the east coast through Richmond Ballet!

Rhythm & Motion offers fun, high energy dance-based classes for the general public. All R&M teachers are experienced dancers who draw from a common body of choreography inspired by a popular and international mix of music and dance.

These aren't your typical "dance" classes! Our dance workout program cultivates a welcoming, accepting atmosphere that promotes health and well-being for all people regardless of background. At R&M, "Anyone Can Dance!"

Announcing an introductory into the world of ballet: Intro to Adult Ballet

This class is designed for the adult who has a hankering to try a ballet class but is either intimidated, self conscious, or just needs a gentle beginning. Susan Massey will teach the class which will meet for four lessons, touching on history, basic technique, and terminology. Each class will incorporate basic barre work and center work, with hopes of building confidence with each class. After all four lessons, the student will transition into the Adult Ballet I class already offered. Only requirements: commit to all four lessons and come dressed in clothes you can easily move in!

• NO PRE-REGISTRATION NECESSARY!  All Open classes are drop-in, with the exception of Intro to Adult Ballet. See brochure (at link above) for more information.
• Adult Open Classes are for students 15 years of age and older.
• Please refer to the Rhythm & Motion and Adult Class Brochures for dress codes and shoe requirements.
