Studio K Dance and Fitness

Been going here a couple of years now and it just keeps getting better. Kavita is always adjusting the schedule to keep up with her client’s preferences and only uses the top notch instructors for zumba and other classes. For those really wanting a challenge, the insanely fit Rosy (Roc-​Fit) takes it to a whole other level. Very affordable too.

So I have guess if you have not taken a cardio hip hop class to compare it to you might find this ok. I came tonight because I thought it was closer than where i was previously going and I might get a good workout. I wanted to do something besides run on a treadmill or drive an hour. Not good. She did not play music while she was teaching the steps… I come for the music. Standing in silence while you break down a routine is not fun. She should go over the routine with music… A number of times. Even if it is one piece of the routine. Thats how you get the workout. I came here to workout doing something different. Sigh… Back to driving an hour. Cannot believe I wasted time driving here. Hands down no comparison to other place… Nice people but I ended up leaving after the first round of silence while she taught the steps…
So I received a response to my review. This WAS a fitness class… It is called Cardio Hip Hop so it was a fitness class. Well it tried to be and it needs a lot of work.

I only got a chance to drop by here once as one of my girl friends really want to check out Zumba. I been meaning to check it out, and it is actually a pretty sweet studio.
Kavita was my instructor the one time I went on a Thursday (first class is free ya’all). Dancing in the dark really makes you feel as if you are clubbing but not with a bunch of people shimming next to you mad close. It was loads of fun and I definitely drop by again when I have a chance.
Jocy pretty much stated all the information you need to know about Studio K as shes been going here for quite a while :) Check this place out! Lots of parking all around!

Tried a couple of classes here while I was on holiday, am looking forward to coming back when I’m in town. Took a class with Rosy and a sub for another; Rosy was fun, her expressions during class and sense of humor added a lot of character to her class.
I’ll update my review for the other instructors the next time I’m visiting San Diego. Routines were not difficult, but not super easy, either.

I’m a big fan of Zumba! It’s a way for me to get some exercise without feeling like it is a workout. An hour passes by so quick.
I’ve apparently checked into Studio K Dance and Fitness at least 100 times, so I figured I should update my review! I’m not sure what I can say except if I made it to Studio K at least 100 times, I must really like it!
What I love about this studio:
— Prices are reasonable (first class free for new clients, $ 8 per class drop in, $ 60 for 10 classes, or $ 65 unlimited for a month (excluding special events)
— No autopay
— No contracts
— No initiation fees
— Schedule changes frequently to accommodate for new class formats such as Figure 8 Fitness (All About Core) and CIZE (Beachbody) in addition to Zumba and Bollywood. I keep coming back because I never get bored… EVER. Be sure to check their Facebook page for updated weekly schedule —
— Lots of special events (extra cost) but it keeps me interested and going back
— Awesome instructors — I literally sat on the
website to search for a talented Zumba instructor and found both Kavita Sheth and David Ramirez. Woot!
1) Kavita Sheth (
) — She is the studio owner, and she is amazing! She’s also been dancing since she was like 5 years old, so one can say that she is pretty passionate about this. I’m a big fan of Kavita’s Zumba classes. During her evening Zumba classes, she turns off the lights and turns on disco lights. Seriously a party feel! If you’re lucky, she’ll add a Zouk or Qizomba song into the Zumba classes to mix it up! Her Bollywood classes are packed, but I personally like the latin flare of the Zumba music!
2) David Ramirez (
) — He is also a Zumba Jammer (i.e. instructor that teaches other Zumba instructors). I guess you can say I’m picky or snotty; I’m okay with that! In any case, he adds a lot of fitness movements in addition to the party feel of Zumba, so for me personally, it’s a good balance of fun and working out. Talented and Professional.
David started teaching a new fitness format called Figure 8 Fitness — all focused on core muscles. He’s also the first official instructor in the US to teach this class, and it is pretty freaking awesome. After 2 classes, I could tell my stomach muscles were getting tighter. YAY! I will just have to keep going back!
There are other instructors at the studio:
— Rosy Muzika (
) — She is a firecracker. Rosy’s main classes at the studio are in the Zumba Toning. She has some crazy muscular arms and abs.
— Autumn DeCesare (
) — She’s got great energy with lots of smiles. Plus feel free to drool over her arm muscles! I went to a few classes that she was substituting for, but I am not a regular of her classes purely due to scheduling conflict as I work during the day (and she teaches during the day).

Support small businesses! ENJOY!

I only started coming here to follow an instructor from another gym but quickly fell in love with the studio.
Kavita is the owner of this cute studio in Clairemont and she knows how to run her business. It’s clean and always full of high energy. They have a wide range of dance classes at a reasonable price.
I highly recommend coming down and trying it out and the first workout is FREE.

I am so excited to have found this place!
After moving to San Diego two years ago I have been searching for a studio that was a great as my old studio in Riverside (Room to Dance). I was so happy at my last studio and felt an instant connection to it. When attending class at Studio K I experienced the same feeling.
Kativa is wonderful, welcoming, and inviting. I have been attending Yoga and after each class I feel more connected and centered. I am beyond excited to work back to taking Zumba classes– (which I loved) and have watched how much fun each participant has in class.
On top of the amazing energy, and owner, classes here are very reasonably priced. 60 dollars for 10 classes! That is only 6 dollars a class– you cant find that kind of deal anywhere in San Diego, especially not with the inviting and inclusive atmosphere.
Please give them a try you will not regret it! And– first class is FREE!

Another awesome zumba class with Susana and zumba toning with Rosy! Double hitter! Studio K is by far the best zumba studio in SD! Check them out! All of the instructors are amazing, energetic, motivating, and the choreography is on point!

Attended a Zumba class with my daughter while visiting from out of town. The instructor was energetic and made the class fun.

Being a yoga teacher, I’m fortunate to get free yoga for me and Chun P. at one of the nicest studios in town. But you can only do so much yoga — cardio and interval training are a must! I’ve fallen in love with Studio K to fill the gap and keep my heart rate up.
Cardio Bollywood, UJam (AKA Cardio Hip-​Hop), Zumba, Barre, and all type of classes available on the schedule. Prices are CHEAP! $ 7 a drop in or $ 50 for a 10 class pack. I recently signed up for the $ 59 monthly unlimited, which DOESN’T put you on autopay. If you want to keep the monthly unlimited, you have to sign up for the next month at your leisure. No contract! Definitely appreciated since I travel so frequently.
If you’re shy about taking dance classes — this is THE place for you. People of all shapes/​sizes/​ages/​abilities are TOTALLY WELCOME. Even as a newbie I felt like I fit right in, and the other classmates were really friendly.
Plenty of parking. Bring your own water/​towel. Also, my only pet peeve is that the schedule changes frequently — so be sure to follow them on Facebook for the most recent updates. There seem to be a lot of special guests/​master classes (which is a plus for those who want more dance experience) but they are an extra cost and take the place of a regular class.

I just went to my first Zumba class at this studio and it was fantastic. The instructor was so into the music, dances and having fun with us. It was challenging and exciting and I can’t wait to go back.

I followed my favorite Zumba instructor David Ramirez to this studio and am never going anywhere else. David always gives a great class, but recently I tried some classes with Kavita (the owner) and was very impressed. My favorite class with her is the Zumba toning/​Sentao (workout using a chair). It’s a great workout that always leaves me sore but in a good way. I’ve been to one of the burlesque classes and really enjoyed it. The studio has a lot of classes to choose from, there’s something for everyone, from Zumba, to Bollywood, to Hip Hop. Kavita is very friendly and her prices are the best I’ve seen in San Diego, and I’ve been to many a Zumba class.
This place is definitely worth checking out for anyone looking for a fun workout.

Just have my first Zumba class with Virgil and WOW! he has so much energy. The class is amazing and I’m sure I burn lots of cals. First class is free so don’t afraid to try out. The studio is super clean and cool. Smaller class, which I love but maybe it’s just because I went to the 5pm one.

Wonderful dance studio but somewhat informal in the way the manage it.
Everyone is welcome to drop in at any class, no experience needed and the regulars are anywhere from 18 to 50 in age… its a nice environment and you really get a chance to dance your heart out…
They also have zumba, yoga, bollywood, hip hop, insanity, zook, salsa and childrens ballet…
The studio is on the smaller size, only one bathroom, no changing lockers… some open cubbies to leave your stuff while you dance… no drinking fountain, so bring your towel and water bottle.
Location is good, plenty of parking except when theres happy hour in one of the neighboring bars…
First class is free, drop in $ 7, 10 classes for $ 60, unlimited monthly for $ 57.
Ive gotten the $ 57 a few months. That said, its frustrating when they cancel classes with an hour notice and you dont get any credit for this… recently theyve cancelled class a lot. frustrating since It ruins my workout for the day.

I started coming to Studio K about 3 months ago for the bollywood classes. I had never taken one before but love to dance (not that i’m very good at it.) and was a little ‘over’ zumba, so I thought i’d try something new!
Kavita’s bollywood classes ARE. AMAZING. They are so fun, and such a great workout, you really get your hour’s worth! Definitely more cardio even than zumba but you almost don’t even notice because the dance moves are so fun. Its a mix of bhangra, belly dancing, bollywood and even a little classical Indian dance if you’re really lucky.
I don’t know any of the songs (no I don’t watch bollywood movies… maybe I should start!) and like I said i’m not an amazing dancer, but she breaks every move down for you and there’s lots of repetition so its easy to catch on.
Also, though the classes are usually all women (but men are welcome!), there is a huge range in age and fitness level and its a super supportive environment– everybody has a great time! The first class is free, so if you like zumba or dancing in general, do yourself a big favor and try the bollywood class. I never stick with exercise programs yet i’ve been coming faithfully for months now (and have lost almost 10 pounds, seriously!). There are also a lot of other great dance classes at this studio, but i’m so addicted to the Bollywood class I haven’t felt the need to try many others :).
Thanks Kavita, keep up the awesomeness!

Found this place close to where I live and I am so happy! Kavita is an awesome instructor. They have a great variety of classes so you never get bored. I am loosing pounds AND inches! Everyone is so nice and there is plenty of parking. Prices are very reasonable too! If you want a fun place to workout while getting real results, this is the place!

A popular location for Zumba classes — and probably the only local place where you can learn dance moves seen in Indian/​Bollywood movies, Studio K now also offers social dancing on Friday nights (starting at 8pm with instruction in various dances until 10pm when the actual party finally starts). Introducing the BaZoumba Social: 3 Bachatas, 3 Zouk/​Kizombas, 1 – 2 Salsa /​Merengue and 2 – 3 Timba tracks in every ten songs. Cover $ 5, but $ 3 only for students or military. Parking is free. If you desire food or beverages, there are several restaurants in the same business plaza.

Zumba and dance cardio are furiously fun ways to burn calories… the music and moves are intoxicating.
Unilocal helped me find Studio K –Thank you my fellow Unilocalers!
:D Wow!!! This place lights my face up and I’m all grins after every class!!!
Kavita is a Rock Star! She’s a world-​renowned dancer who shares stylish moves and She busts our asses! Kavita creates a surreal fun experience! Kavita is always smiling and engages everyone.
Many class choices: Zumba, Bollywood (awesome work out!), Hip Hop, Bachata and Yoga are my favs… Impressive level of instruction in each diverse class. My classes are Zumba, Bollywood and Marilen’s Hip Hop class… love how her classes have helped create international friendships for me :)
Investment/​Money: First class is free and very affordable after that… no start up fees. Damn that’s different & nice.
The space is BEEAUUUTIFUL… the floors and mirrors… and areas for placing water bottles, keys & phone.
Kavita and her team are personable and friendly… they advocate for you. :) Definitely give this place a try, your first free class… and say hola :)

I loved this studio! Only attended one seminar (3 hours) as special event (soul dancing with Meeshi Ravi) and this is how I discovered this super clean, spacious, luminous, hardwood floored studio. Loved the good vibes, the acoustics, the non selling pressure, and especially the fact that is one of the few studios where adults can get Bollywood classes (check those classes at 6pm on Wed with Kavita) and also they are going to start new classes in October with a guy dancer on Sundays at 11am. Not to be missed, I am very excited about this place in Clairemont Mesa. The peace on Sunday was amazing, is like the ones in the studio we were the only inhabitants of this dancing planet:)

Been here only once but definitely won’t be the last. I had so much fun doing their athletic drill class. Will comeback next time for hip hop dance class or zumba. I heard those were super fun. The instructors and the owner were super nice.
Free for first timers and free entry for referrals… Sweeeeet!
