am the official queen of real fitness, 3 and a half years dancing with this talented woman, in good or bad times, in covid, dancing online, always focused on dancing thanks to you in which she helped me with my self-confidence, with my dance, with my technique, I was two years in a row without missing any heels class, for me It's so much fun, for me it became a dance family -Thank you for giving us all your energy in each class, in each training and for giving us your beautiful friendship. love you

I absolutely love this dance and fitness studio. I am a woman in my mid fifties and I feel comfortable taking their classes. The environment is warm and friendly while the choreo can be challenging. Im encouraged to keep moving no matter what. Marissa and Ebony absolutely ROCK🥳

I have been dancing with Real Rhythm Dance and fitness for 4 years and what a journey it’s been. As a working mom and wife these classes are a fit for my ME time. I started with the Vixen workout and just fell in love with Marissa’s energy and charisma. Soon after that the choreography classes began growing I was learning so much from her and becoming a better dancer as an adult is very different from when you are a kid. Marissa was patient and supportive and always encouraging. Intensives were introduced which focused on more in depth techniques. And after those I could really tell my growth. I can’t wait to personal train with marissa too! Aside from the classes, there are get togethers and socials and events that we attend to network and support each other. Real Rhythm also hosted its very first dance retreat which I was so happy to be a part of. Everyone who has ever taken a class will tell you there is a special feeling you have when it’s over. It makes me happy, confident and all around a better person. Real Rhythm is not only a dance company, it’s an experience.

Real Rhythm Dance & Fitness has brought so much joy to my week since I started going at the beginning of this year. After my last studio closed and I moved to a new town, I had fallen off dance fitness for months. I found RRDF on instagram and took my first VXN classes - have been going weekly since! I find myself smiling throughout the whole class as the instructors and fellow dancers are all so welcoming & encouraging. It's a full cardio workout but the dances and music are so fun, you barely notice how hard you are working. I love how Marissa, Ebony & Paige make RRDF community-based and appeal to various interests through dance fitness classes, different choreography styles, social events, retreats etc. They really emphasize taking care of yourself beyond just the physical. Love the values of the RRDF team & community - they have reignited my love for dance fitness!

I love Marissa's teaching, offering of different classes, opportunities for travel and so much more. I originally come from a freestyle street dancing background and wasn't sure how I would do learning heels choreography but she made it so personalized and welcoming. She really pays attention to you as a dancer and the whole class to make sure technique and flow look good. I've enjoyed doing her classes, intensives, VXN nights, retreat, wine and stretch class, and so much more. Although I left for about a year because of work travel, I was so excited to come back for the Real Rhythm Dance and Fitness community. It was one of the communities I really missed and it felt good to be back. I look forward to attending more of Marissa's classes and events whenever I'm free. It is so worth it for what you learn, the friends you make, how you grow, and how you level up. Thank you so much, Marissa, and everyone in RRDF <3

I am so happy to have found this place. The environment and vibes are amazing. It’s a safe place to find your rhythm & passion for dance. I started off with heels, then progressed to hip hop and reggaeton infusion. Love love the classes, the instructors, and the student dancers. I have new sense of confidence. This is a space to find yourself again, it’s all about the work you put towards it. This establishment has been exactly what I needed to find myself again through movement/dance. Thank you for creating this space. I got my sexy back 💕.

Get ready to have your life changed! Attending this studio is exhilarating. Unknowingly, you’re not just taking classes, but your embraced by a rooting community, of all ages, shapes, and sizes. I can not stop raving about this studio, it's amazing teachers, and the beautiful supportive group that comes with it. My peers watch my dance videos from this studio, and wish they lived closer to join as well.

Took a Heels Intensive program here and I'm so glad that I did! Expected just to work on choreography in heels but Marissa also provided exercises to help with boosting our self esteem, to take along with us in our daily routines outside of dance. She is an amazing teacher and dancer. Everyone was so nice to train with and very supportive of one another. I'm so happy to have found a new place to continue growing as a dancer. I will definitely be back!

10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking classes with the RRDF instructors! I've taken classes with Marissa since 2017- from Zumba to heels to hip hop to intensive programs to VXN and so much more. The instructors and other students have amazing energy. They provide a comfortable and encouraging environment to dance in for people of ALL levels. I always leave class in a much better mood! Taking these classes has helped a lot with my mental health, my confidence, and even making more friends. GO TO CLASS NEOOOOOOOOOOW!

I moved to New Jersey a year ago and need to find a dance studio. I am so glad I have found them! They had everything I was looking for in a dance studio! A year and half later I am still here dancing with all these amazing women that have made Jersey my home! So if you are looking for a fun way to exercise and make friends please take a class!

Love the variety of classes offered. VXN is the best cardio dance workout I've tried! The environment amongst the instructors and other dancers is positive, encouraging, and open.

I met Marissa back in 2016 when she taught a Zumba class at Golds Gym. I started going to her classes every time she taught and w eventually created a bond and friendship. She is not only a phenomenal dancer, but a phenomenal mentor, friend, and teacher. Whether you have a passion for dancing or looking for a fun activity to do with a group of friends, I couldn’t recommend Real Rhythm enough.

Real Rhythm is the one-stop shop for a variety of dance and fitness classes, from choreography to dance fitness to small group workout classes and stretching. Marissa has built this from the ground up and it’s clear why it has grown so much over time - she and her team care about the community they serve and work diligently to make everyone feel safe, included, and invited again and again to each and every class. It’s no mystery that Marissa loves what she does and is doing exactly what she was meant to do here. Couldn’t recommend more!

Marissa is an amazing dance teacher who is super sweet, fun and motivating. She creates a safe and relaxing environment free of judgement. She offers a wide variety of classes for all skill levels. If you’re looking for dance classes where you can actually dance like no one is watching look no further!

The best fitness environment! Release and get into your inner Beyonce, Brittney, or whoever your favorite performer is!Super Fun workouts! Pleasant staff. See you there?!

Awesome energy and positive vibe. These women know how to party while simultaneously getting an amazing workout! Can't wait to take their class again.

I have taken vixen workout, personal training, heels and hip hop through rrdf. All experiences have been amazing and I highly recommend all the services provided. Marissa’s is such a natural teacher. She motivates you to grow beyond your highest potential. She’s amazing! Please take the classes. You’ll see results! I definitely have!!!

Great community for dance and fitness - I’ve come here for special fitness events, heels classes, hip hop classes and VXN dance workout classes. Each class is high energy with challenging yet accessible choreography for even beginner / intermediate dancers. Marissa is a great instructor and has created a welcoming environment to all for purposes of achieving any health, fitness and wellness goals!!!

I absolutely 💯 love the energy from this amazing experienced dance group of wonderful women. ❤️ they are all fun and cool along with being very welcoming when I started. Thanks to the outstanding instructor Marissa who helps me learn each class. So Motivating.

Since going to Marissa’s dance classes as well as personal training sessions, my life has completely changed. My confidence is at an ultimate high. I look better, I feel better, both mentally and physically. If anyone is considering taking one of her classes, trust, you are making an excellent decision. She works with all fitness levels and will ensure that you feel comfortable and confident executing each dance move or exercise. Try her out!

The best dance and workout classes can be found here at RRDF! Owner and Instructor Marissa is phenomenal at what she does and makes everyone of all levels feel so welcomed and inspired. I would recommend her classes to anyone and everyone.

I’m pretty new to getting back to my childhood passion of dancing! I’ve been coming here since April and it changed my life! Marissa is seriously the most genuine and talented person I’ve ever met! No matter your level of dancing, Marissa along with the amazing people taking her classes make you feel just as good as them! Encouragement and empowerment is how I feel after every class! Met so many amazing people here! Bring your friends/family and come take some YOU time with any of the amazing classes she offers.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience thus far taking class with Real Rhythm Dance and Fitness! My favorite has been the heels classes which is offered at different levels. They have a variety of courses which encourages me to always come back to try something new and unique (like wine down stretch where you drink wine and enjoy a stretch class!). The classes are challenging which I enjoy so I can push myself to be a better dancer but whenever a dancer needs additional assistance learning choreography head instructor Marissa is mindful and breaks it down. Looking forward to continue to attend class and become more consistent with my dance training. Best adult dance classes in NJ by far :)

The most fun, exciting and welcoming group of people! I love being apart of an empowering group of women who uplift each other and all show up for the vibes. I have met the most amazing people and wouldn’t trade the experiences for anything in the world. From VXN to commercial pop to self care retreats. RRDF if definitely my favorite place to be.
