Sweat Spot

The Sweat Spot is host to an array of classes, many taught by professional dancers, and is most notably the home of Sweaty Sundays. Yes, it’s a dance class. But we’re not talking warmed over hip-hop moves set to a familiar rotation of Top 40 hits here. No, this is Ryan Heffington’s Sweaty Sundays. Heffington is a dance world chimera who has worked with Britney and Ke$ha (in this town, who hasn’t?), appeared as a choreographer on RuPaul’s Drag Race and was commissioned by MOCA to bring a dance program to the museum. He brings his particular brand of hi-lo moves to his weekly Silver Lake classes, which have been running since 2008. They’re virtually an Eastside rite of passage and the studio is always packed with bed-headed twenty-somethings dancing off the previous night’s bespoke cocktail binge—but all comers are welcome. Catch them at noon and 1:30pm on Sundays.
