Looking for a place to learn folklorico dance, enjoy fitness classes and more? A new business is here to help. Located at 7151 El Cajon Blvd., Suite M, in Rolando Village, this new arrival is called Federico’s Academy of Performing Arts.

This new studio offers an array of fitness and cultural dance classes such as ballet folklorico, salsa, hip-hop, yoga, Zumba, kickboxing and many others. According to the business' Facebook page, "We are an Academy of Performing Arts specializing in ballet folklorico, quinceañeras and all forms of dancing and singing."

Along with its extensive selection of dance and exercise classes, the establishment also strives to share arts and culture with the local community, hosting a Grupo Folklorico Herencia Mexicana dance group that performs at events across the San Diego area.

With a five-star rating out of three reviews on Yelp so far, the fresh addition is on its way to developing a local fan base.

Arielle B., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on May 7, wrote, "I danced ballet folklorico 15 years ago for my quinceañera and decided that I wanted to do it again. ... This studio is exactly the inclusive environment I've been searching for as I grow in my abilities as a dancer."

Federico’s Academy of Performing Arts is open Mondays and Wednesdays from 11 a.m.–9 p.m., Tuesdays from 11 a.m.–9:30 p.m., Thursdays from 10 a.m.–9:30 p.m., Fridays from 11 a.m.–8:30 p.m., Saturdays from 9 a.m.–1:30 p.m. and Sundays from 9 a.m.–1 p.m. Be sure to check its calendar for upcoming new classes, and stop by to welcome this new business to the neighborhood.
