“How do I describe Passion The Adult Dance Studio? I have taken a LONG time to write this review as I find it hard to put Passion into words.
How do you put into words that after thirty one years of searching you have FOUND where you belong? Your community, your favorite humans, your sense of self and expression, your home. Passion is all those things.
I attended Passion the first day they opened their doors. Since then I have gone through some hardships and have not felt like the best student, however, Passion never makes me feel bad for showing up, WHEN I can and with WHATEVER I have that day. At Passion I am free to explore my sensitive, sensual, sexual, emotional and every other side of my existence.
Having been a dancer my entire life, studying as a dancer in college and performing a bit after, I have NEVER felt so at home and free without judgement to be my authentic self. And I mean EVER. You can show up to passion in your current state and they will be there for you.
Happy that day? Go to Passion.
Emotional? Go to Passion.
Hysterically crying? - Go to dance class and the community is there for you.
Dealing with continuous hardship? - Passion is there for you.
Wanting to perform again? - Passion has that too!
Passion has allowed me to find myself after YEARS of soul searching. And that comes with the safest, most supportive, sensual, beautiful community of human beings.
So while it may just seem like a dance studio where you can take a daily dance class or join a workshop, Passion is SO much more than that! The amazing owner Calli and all the teachers have done a fantastic job at creating this sanctuary for everyone. All humans are welcome and I dare you to step through that door and change your life for the better FOREVER.”
“Passion is everything to me—it’s my home away from home. Whenever life gets tough, a class at Passion instantly lifts my spirits. On the good days, it’s the perfect place to celebrate with a community of beautiful souls who radiate joy.
I stumbled upon Passion while searching for adult dance studios, and the Twerk classes caught my eye. I had never danced before, and the thought of stepping into a studio alone was terrifying. But from the moment I walked through the doors, I felt welcomed and accepted by the instructors and fellow dancers.
That first class, a year and a half ago, changed everything for me. I’ve since performed in two shows—something I never thought I’d even want to do! My confidence has blossomed, and I’ve formed connections that feel like family. Passion has brought my dreams to life in ways I never imagined possible.
This studio breathes energy and inspiration into everything you do. If you’re looking for a place to discover yourself and find your tribe, Passion is the answer. It truly feels like a dream come true. I’m so grateful for this incredible journey!”
“I just have to take a moment to shout out to Passion dance studio—it’s honestly the best place! Every class I attend feels like an amazing journey. The energy, the passion, the skill—it’s all next level. The instructors are incredibly talented, supportive, and always pushing us to do better. And the community? Wow, just amazing! Everyone is so welcoming and inspiring, creating an environment where you can grow and truly express yourself.
What’s even more special is how Passion fosters women empowerment. The studio is a place where women come together, support each other, and lift each other up—both on and off the dance floor. It’s incredible to be part of a space where we not only learn to dance but also grow stronger, more confident, and more empowered every day.
I’m there for every class, and it’s the highlight of my week. Whether you’re just starting or you’re a seasoned dancer, this place has something special for everyone. If you haven’t checked it out yet, give it a try, I am sure you will love it. So grateful to be part of such a cool, inspiring, and empowering dance family!”
“I genuinely don’t have the words to describe how incredible of a place Passion is. This space is more than just a dance studio - it is a community of supportive, inspirational and loving men and women who inspire me to be my authentic self every single day. From the minute I stepped foot into the studio (with no real dance experience to speak of), I immediately felt so welcomed and loved and that has only grown with every class I take and person I meet.
This studio has changed everything for me and has become a space that feels like my second home, and the people I have formed relationships with feel like my best friends. I have been able to challenge myself and take classes in all different styles (hip hop, heels, jazz, and many, many more) and move my body in ways I didn’t think were possible and I have loved every second of it.
I cannot recommend enough that you put yourself outside your comfort zone and take a class here - it very well might change your life, like it did for me <3”
“I have been a dancer for over ten years. In my time I have never been apart of a studio that is as welcoming as Passion. Unlike so many other studios Passion focuses on body and metal positivity as well as fostering the love for dance. It is a space that is vibrant and incredibly inviting. I have taken a variety of class at Passion and I have loved every one. Passion dance studio made me love dance in a way I never knew was possible.”
“From the moment you walk into passion studio you feel welcome , instantly comfortable and amazing sense of community ! The classes at the studio are not only a blast! But an amazing work out. The classes are empowering and uplifting. Calli’s dedication positivity and Charisma bleed through every class she teaches . You actually leave there feeling lighter, happier and more confident and sexy as hell! I so look forward to the next class the second one is over! It is always the best part of my week. Calli and passion studio have truly created such an incredible safe and beautiful space. I encourage everyone to try it out it will change your life”
“This is such a special place! Despite showing up to my first class solo and with minimal prior dance experience, I’ve felt nothing but welcomed and comfortable at Passion. I’ve been taking classes for almost a year now and can say that finding Passion changed my life — dancing here has made me feel so whole and complete. From Hip Hop to Dance Party Fitness to Shuffle and more - it’s a place to try on something new (or old) and just let yourself go. I truly thank my lucky stars every day that this studio exists. Thank you Calli and the rest of the amazing teachers for all you do to make this place and community so special. And to everyone else, come dance with us!”
“Passion is a truly one-of-a-kind magical place. Passion is SO much more than a dance studio. I have found my community at this studio. Passion is a safe space for me to explore my sexuality and sensuality through movement. I am more confident in myself inside and outside of the studio. I have found a more aligned version of myself. I have a deeper connection to my body. I have learned to express myself and tap deeper into my own body’s wisdom.
I am relatively new to the dance world and each class I’ve taken has been accessible and has met me where I am on my journey. The Passion community is so welcoming, encouraging, and loving.This dance studio and the people who make up this community are truly special! I have always been searching for a place like Passion and I am so grateful to be able to call this place my dance studio and second home.”
“This studio changed my life! I stumbled upon Passion while looking for a new, fun, and physical hobby. I had no prior professional dance experience, however, upon researching this studio, it didn’t appear that I needed any in order to take classes (what a relief!) Now, it’s been almost a year since I started attending dance classes at Passion and my life is forever changed for the better. I’m happier, more fit, more confident, and feel so supported by the community at Passion, even while I’m outside of the studio! I cannot recommend this studio to people enough!!”
“Passion isn’t just a dance studio. It’s a community of supportive, non judgmental adults who come together to create a safe, magical space to express yourself…or whoever you want to be that day. It’s one of a kind, being that at 35yrs old it’s the ONLY place I’ve found as an adult that feels as welcoming as it does. I dance for my mental health, but physical strength, friendships, & confidence is also what I’ve grown on this journey. I went when they first opened their doors over 2 years ago, but I fell off for a bit and can happily say I’ve been going consistently multiple times a week since November. Passion isn’t just a dance experience it’s a family that will always have your back. I NEVER regret a class at Passion.”
“This dance studio has honestly changed my life! Never did I expect to find such an inclusive, fun, exploratory, community-based place to dance as an adult. Every teacher goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable and ensure this is a judgement-free experience every time. I’ve taken a ton of the classes - heels, shuffle, hip hop, twerk, feelin myself, samba, Brazilian funk- and each one is so unique, a dance party and a total workout head to toe. There’s even optional performances and workshops you can partake in to dive deeper into your dancing and the community. Calli (the owner) has created a safe space for people of all dance experience levels (including none at all) and ages (18+) to just be themselves and have a great time. The people who go to this studio are also so wonderful and accepting, and I guarantee if you come, you’ll be making new friends. I can’t recommend this place enough!”
“I have been dancing for over 20 years and I have never experienced a dance studio like Passion! They are more than just a dance studio. They are a community filled with accepting, authentic, and inspirational people who allow me to express my true self. Passion has not only helped me to improve in my dance abilities, but also in my self-image. They create a safe space for me to have the confidence to push past my limits. It has been a few years since belonging to a dance studio and coming to Passion was the best decision I made not only for dance, but also my mental health. I am so grateful to be dancing again and surrounded by people I call family!”
“There are so many amazing things to say about passion! Where to start?! This is a beautiful space, perfectly nestled into Main Street in Beacon, with fun classes, wonderful teachers, and a kind, welcoming vibe...and that barely scratches the surface!
The depth of passion is in its community. The way that this space and the love poured into it shows up on the face of each person who walks into those doors, is nothing short of inspiring. I feel wrapped in love and support every time I’m there, whether I’m trying ballet, twerking, teasing, or just feeling myself! Being in the embrace of a supportive community, and getting to pour that back into those radiant humans, while expressing myself in a way that feels GOOD to be in my body, is heaven sent.
I wish this kind of space for every person but there’s just one place I’ve found like it, and this is it ❤️”
“The dance classes at Passion are amazing. I came in brand new to dance and the environment was supportive and welcoming. Every teacher is super sweet and patient in addition to being badass dancers. But what I learned this year is that Passion is more than a studio, it is a community. I am taking part in one of their shows and not to be dramatic but it has changed my whole world and inspired such a more positive relationship with my body. The women there are incredible, I’m having so much fun and I have truly never experienced anything like it in all my years of participating in different workout classes at different studios in different cities. I can’t say enough good things about this place, its instructors, or the other dancers you will find there.”
“If I could give all the stars in the universe rather than just 5, I absolutely would.
I found Passion The Adult Dance Studio just by walking around in Beacon and I swear it was fate. My life has changed in so many ways since coming to dance at Passion. The people, the vibes, the dancing, the COMMUNITY!!!!! It’s like my own personally heaven on earth.
The range in types of classes Passion has is so incredible. I have never taken a Twerk class before in my life and now I go every Wednesday. Every instructor brings something so magical into the studio space that truly nourishes your soul.
Calli has created a literal sanctuary for those of us who have a passion for movement and connection. Every single person who enters the studio is embraced with such love and acceptance.
Passion is a place of true wonders and I highly recommend to anyone who is juggling with the thought of trying something new to try Passion The Adult Dance Studio. You can’t go wrong 😉”
“If you want to have fun. I highly recommend Passion Adult Dance Studio
I can’t say enough about this amazing community. I started out by going to the shows as a spectator and felt so inspired that I signed up for classes.
I came into this first-time experience very apprehensive. Despite not having previous dance training, I was able to step out of my comfort zone and performed in my first show “Muses”
Thanks to Cali and everyone at Passion for the opportunity and providing the space for me to feel comfortable and safe within myself to express and explore the possibilities of my dream. Come Dance with us, Parties, Events, Spa Day always something happening. All is welcome

“Passion - The Adult Dance Studio is truly amazing! I’ve been searching for and dreaming of this place for 11 years, and every day I feel so grateful this studio and community exists! I remember walking in for my first class, and the first person I met was Calli, the owner. She was so welcoming and kind, making me feel instantly comfortable. Every single class is a joy, and the choreographers make everyone feel so supported and encouraged. It’s a place where you can truly be yourself, embrace your inner dancer, and have fun without any pressure. The spirit of Passion is about self-love, empowerment, acceptance, and gratitude, all found through dance. This vibrant energy is reflected in the amazing community here – it’s truly a special place.”
“I attended my first class at Passion alone, and it was the best decision I have made for myself. Although I was a nervous wreck, I instantly felt at ease with the energy of Calli (the owner), and fellow classmates present. My biggest fear was not being able to keep up with the choreography, and not being good enough because I haven’t danced since I was in 7th grade. It was such a supportive, fun environment, that those thoughts didn’t even cross my mind throughout the entire class. There was absolutely no judgement. Questions are always encouraged, and choreography is taught 2 weeks in a row so you can feel yourself more, and pick up on things you weren’t able to do the first week you learned it. Here I am a year later, and there isn’t a class I haven’t tried. Every instructor is truly incredible with their talents and unique personalities. They are extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and inspire me. My fellow classmates are now my best friends who bring out the best in me, and make my days brighter. Since joining this studio, I have grown immensely, not only physically but mentally. Passion has helped me gain confidence and embrace/own all aspects of myself not only through classes, but through workshops, and show performances. The opportunities Passion provides are unreal and as an adult, it’s rare to find a place that offers such wonderful diverse opportunities for a community. I look forward to dancing and forming connections with beautiful souls every day in classes. Forever grateful for Passion for enhancing my life.”
