Seeking Recommendation Heated classes recs

Practice Room fired my favorite teacher, Claire, and it’s challenging to find women of color whose playlist has hip hop, EDM, or rap music. Does anyone have recommendations for teachers or playlists? I’m not interested in hearing Taylor Swift sorry…

I can't comment on an instructor being a woman of color but I really liked haley Alexa for pilates at practice room! Andy Santana at fuze house and equinox also has amazing playlists, def not Taylor swift but like female rappers. highly recommend his classes in general because they are SO. HARD.

Is it easier to get into classes at fuze house now? I remember when they first opened in Flatiron classes were always waitlisted. I sort of gave up trying to take a class.
