Alvarado Street Brewery presents All Together. This beer represents a worldwide collaboration spearheaded by our friends at @otherhalfnyc to raise awareness for hospitality workers affected by the pandemic. This hazy IPA is loaded up with Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe, and Cascade hops and delivers all the fruit laden juiciness.

A limited number of cases remain for shipping in California, as well as four packs for drive through pickup at our Salinas location at 1315 Dayton Street.

Get Results with The Bar Method

The Bar Method’s signature technique is the fastest and most efficient way to reshape the entire body. Precise isometric exercises keep students working “in the muscle,” followed by active and passive stretching to lengthen and elongate the area just worked. The result is a graceful, strong dancer-like body, including sculpted arms, flat abs, a lifted seat and elongated thighs, as well as improved posture and body alignment. Students see remarkable results within just a few weeks.

Why it's Different

The Bar Method technique stands apart because it is safe, smart and personal. It was created under the guidance of physical therapists to ensure it is safe and effective for students spanning a wide range of abilities including those with physical limitations and injuries. It’s a workout that is safe and sustainable for life!

Someday again this lobby will be filled with noisy parents and siblings, and I am going to HUG everyone! (Then tell you to quiet down and not disrupt class). I can’t wait!! Missing our Dance Effects families. -Miss Katie

If you do, remember to email a proof of purchase to VivaDTC@downtowncampbell.com to get entries into our monthly drawing for prizes.
