Lariz Performing Arts, tucked along a tree-lined side street in the city’s creative quarter, is a two-storey, brick-front studio that hums with energy from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Inside, the aroma of eucalyptus mat spray and fresh coffee lingers under soft pendant lights, while floor-to-ceiling mirrors frame a spring-sprung Canadian maple floor that forgives jumps, shimmies and stomps. A state-of-the-art KV2 sound system fills every corner with crystalline bass and treble, so whether Alicia Keys’ “Girl on Fire” is powering a lyrical routine or Daddy Yankee is driving a Zumba blast, the dynamic feels immersive rather than amplified.
The weekly schedule is split into two creative streams: Performing-Arts dance and Zumba fitness. On the dance side, director Larissa “Lariz” Mendes—a Juilliard-trained contemporary dancer who toured with River North Dance Chicago—teaches ballet, jazz, contemporary and Latin fusion. Adult beginner ballet runs Mondays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.; an adult hip-hop crew meets Wednesday nights under Alonzo “Zo” Carter, former backup dancer for Janet Jackson. An annual spring showcase at the 300-seat Loft Theatre gives every student—from nine-year-olds in satin ribbons to septuagenarians in high-tops—real stage experience with full tech, costume, and lighting design.
The Zumba program, meanwhile, is masterminded by certified trainer Maya Delgado, who grew up in Cali, Colombia, and brings carnival energy to every class. Forty-five-minute sessions cycle through salsa, reggaeton, cumbia, afro-beat and Dembow; fit-science reports on heart-rate monitors embedded in wristbands beam live calorie counts to an overhead screen for friendly competition. Aqua-Zumba in the adjoining rooftop saline pool runs Saturdays at 10 a.m., complete with floating resistance weights and disco-underwater lights. For those needing lower-impact options, Chair- Zumba and Stretch-Zumba draw loyal silver-haired crowds who cheer one another like teammates.
Amenities complete the sense that this studio is a micro-resort rather than a rented room: gender-neutral showers stocked with sulfate- free products, lockers with digital codes, a kombucha bar trading fizzy pink-pineapple on tap, and a free homework corner for parents who arrive straight from school pick-ups. An app handles everything—bookings, music requests, video playback—so students can review choreography seconds after class on their phones. Monthly membership costs $159 and includes unlimited Zumba plus two technique classes; couples and first responders receive 15 % discounts, reflecting Lariz’s ethos that art, wellness, and community belong in one heartbeat.
