Clips n Hips

This place in Warr Acres is the definition of creative versatility. Marti Rickman is the owner and mastermind behind such a unique and multipurpose space. The Clips part refers to a hair salon in the back of the building. You can come to take care of all your hairstyling needs. The Hips part refers to the dance studio in the front of the building. I attended a Salsa class given by Henry Tran and it was super fun. No previous signup is needed, I just saw a flyer on social media and showed up. I paid for the class afterwards via Venmo. Super easy! The floor is great, there was enough space, and everyone was very friendly. Highly recommend! Marti is from Colombia and is engaged in a lot of great dance events in the city along with her daughter, Layla, who is also an amazing dancer. All ages are welcome to book a class - from cumbia to Zumba.

My friend rented this place out for her birthday party. We learned how to do the flamenco dance with instructor Marti Rickman. This space is so unique because it is a salon slash dance studio. I would definitely come back for more lessons in the future! If you like to learn different styles of dance, check this place out!

(Translated by Google) I recommend this dance studio and hairdresser. Currently my daughter participates in the children's dance academy and I have also participated in the Zumba classes. Marti is an excellent dancer, teacher, hostess, leader who supports Colombian, Hispanic-Latin American culture, etc ... I also recommend her hairdresser because she has excellent customer service, has a great knowledge of hair products, makeup, cutting , hair massages. I personally recommend your service dynamics.
