Herbaculture Dance Studio 2790 Harbor Boulevard, Costa Mesa, CA 92627

"I took a class with Ryan and the class was amazing. Ryan was super hands on and checked on me the whole class. He even had a super adorable emotion support dog that was adorable !!! I’m a beginner and felt super confident in all my yoga moves."

"I love Herbaculture studios it is my home away from home. The diversity of classes and excellent instructors makes this an incredible place to learn and have fun. I do Lyra, hammock, and pole classes here and they are all excellent. ReRun"

"Ryan was amazing. His charisma flowed throughout the class, making everyone feel fortunate to be there. He provided assistance to each participant, ensuring a supportive environment. Although he usually teaches advanced classes, today's session was for beginners, and I thoroughly enjoyed it"

"Oh boy this post is long overdue. First off let me start by saying I'm medically overweight and I have a medical condition that makes it difficult for me to lose weight. That being said the past couple of years have been emotionally and physically difficult. It wasn't too long ago that I finally decided to do something about it. I decided to try something that would boost my self confidence and help me get more fit and thus, Herbaculture. And man this place is my home away from home. I've done LOTS of studio hopping and have been to basically EVERY studio in the OC, chino hills AND LB area. Yes, that's a LOT and I can say by far, herbaculture is the best (my opinion anyways). First off, the owner is especially careful with picking out the instructors. Never have I ever felt awkward or uncomfortable in ANY of the classes here and that's saying a lot considering I'm naturally shy and I am still learning to love my body as it is (as most of us are). I have tried almost every class this studio has to offer and each instructor is unique and amazing in their own way. I started out with pole and began to feel empowered. I felt disheartened as I realized how much upper body strength and ab strength was needed to do some of the tricks but everyone reassured me it takes time. Nothing happens overnight. I began to do weekly practices which turned into twice a week to 3 times a week as I slowly built up my strength and stamina and man, is it very empowering. Pole truly helped me to learn to love my body and boosted my self esteem. It took awhile for me to get to where I was with pole but little by little I suddenly began to be able to climb and hold my body up on the pole. It was truly amazing to see how much time and practice went into pole and seeing the results. I felt my upper body strength improve as well as my abs. After awhile I decided to stop pole for a bit and try out some of the dances classes. Similar to pole, the burlesque classes with Vanessa were amazing! I learned so much floor work and found that it was amazing to see what my body could do WITHOUT a pole and just by itself was amazing. I also took belly dancing with Sofia and while I'm not good at it, Sofia is the NICEST most SWEETEST instructor I've had so far. She's honestly such a positive human that I wish I could be more like her. With these dance classes I learned how to move to a beat and listen for a rhythm and got some cool dance moves in my repertoire before I decided to try aerial. Delainey and Ryan are PHENOMENAL instructors! By this point I had stopped pole for awhile and had lost all the strength I had built during pole. I had to start back from the bottom again and it felt like an uphill battle. But with the encouragement of Delainey and Ryan, they've truly helped me and EVERYONE realize they are capable of doing amazing things. Aerial is not easy and by far, the hardest out of all of the apparatuses. I've only just begun my journey, but this truly is my home away from home. I started my fitness journey feeling overweight and disheartened but now I feel my body growing again in strength and confidence. Also, Lorenzo the dog is a great benefit as well. If you ever need dog therapy while stretching, he will come up right to you. This studio is truly my home studio and I truly express that if anyone wants to give this studio a try they absolutely should. The studio has a drop in class for one $10 and it's where a lot of us start. Good luck on your aerial journey!"

"I am completely new to dance and recently took one of Delainey’s Lyra classes. I had such a great experience! the instructors and owner were incredibly kind and welcoming. Delainey did a great job breaking down the steps of each move to help me feel comfortable and confident. I highly recommend this studio!"
