Breaking a Sweat!
Posted by: victoria808 on: December 16, 2009

At
Foresight Studios — a performance space in the Los Angeles hipster neighborhood of Silver Lake — an exercise and dance class known as Sweaty Sundays attracts artists, screenwriters, choreographers and other creative types.
The class is led by Ryan Heffington, a performance artist, dancer and designer. Many of his students share his enthusiasm for Lycra and bright pastels.
The class was born of a roving monthly club night that Mr. Heffington held in 2006 and 2007, where clubbers learned short routines as they nursed their beers. Some of the night clubbers have changed their habits. “This is becoming more serious for them,” said Mr. Heffington. The class inspired one member to start a marching band. Another wrote her master’s thesis on it. The class is so popular that people are often turned away. Mr. Heffington has added a second class on Sunday and a weeknight class.
