A neighborhood
movement home.
ESTIA House of Movement is a neighborhood dance and fitness studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, created around a simple idea: movement can have a place in your life at every age.
Founder Lydia Perakis, a dancer, personal trainer and educator from Crete, brought more than a decade of teaching experience across New York City into one shared movement home. She holds a BFA in Dance from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, and her approach is rooted in curiosity, care and trauma-informed teaching.
At ESTIA, beginners learn alongside returning and experienced movers. Small-group classes give instructors room to offer individual guidance, answer questions and help you explore how you move.
Come for Ballet and get to know a studio where dance, fitness and community share the same space.
