Early Closing for Halloween

Desert Lights will close at 5:30 on Wednesday October 31 so that our students may take part in Halloween activities. Students with 5:30 or 6:30 classes on that day may schedule their make-up at the front desk.

New Students

New Student?? Getting prepared for class at Desert Lights is easy. Wear a comfortable leotard, with or without athletic shorts. Hair should be securely off the face and neck. Leave all jewelry and valuables at home. Sit in the white box by the exercise bikes until instructors call the classes out to warm up - no need to check in at the front desk unless you are doing a make-up or this is your first day - your instructor will take attendance. Parents and siblings should procees to the upstairs viewing area and be seated to observe class.
