Maiden Motion: A Local, Woman-Owned Studio For Dance, Barre, And Bounce Classes

Updated: Dec 10, 2021

Next Small Business Sunday Shoutout goes to Maiden Motion, and today also happens to be the studio’s 2 year anniversary! 🥳💜



I first found out about Maiden Motion when they offered a weekend of free classes at the end of June for their post-Covid reopening. After that, I became hooked, and I’ve truly never felt so happy and confident after working out than I have here. 🤩 From the classes to the women and the sweat to the smiles, @maidenmotion is everything I needed! Here’s the rundown:


💃🏽 Cardio Dance - The most fun class IMO with the BEST music to jam to from ABBA to Lizzo. 🎶 Each song choreo focuses on a different body part such as arms, legs, booty, and abs. I love letting loose and pretending I’m in a music video 🤣


🩰 Cardio Barre - Similar to regular barre, but with a hint of classical ballet mixed in. As a former dancer, I appreciate that element and LOVE the instructor @alix.gore 💗


💪 Slow Burn and Bend - Combines barre and stretching so it’s a great blend for a well-rounded workout. My favorite part is at the end when the instructor puts some essential oil in your hand and you can just lay there, relax, and breathe it in 😌


🕴Bounce - It’s a tad scary being on the mini trampoline at first, but after a beginner class, you’ll get the hang of it! It’s such a refreshing and unique low-impact workout if you’re looking for a switch up from your daily routine.


My FAVE thing about Maiden Motion is how empowering all the women I’ve met are and the community I’ve gained. If you’re looking to make new friends without the awkwardness, this is the perfect place to do so as Maiden Motion holds multiple events outside of classes from morning walks to book club meetings to river trips. Anna (studio owner and instructor) is a ROCKSTAR and I’m so in awe of how she left her job as an environmental lobbyist in NY to start this small biz focusing on her passion for movement (not to mention she built this studio from the ground up with her personal savings)!



I cannot recommend Maiden Motion enough and am excited for the day I can add my face to the 100 classes completed wall! If you're an RVAx member, you get 1 week of unlimited classes free or check out their website for other discounts and membership options 💕➡️
