It feels collaborative and welcoming, with people encouraged to learn from one another and bring their own style into the space. Classes and events focus on musicality, technique, and connection in a way that feels comfortable and respectful, while still giving dancers room to push their own creativity and expression. Whether you come on your own, with friends, or as a couple, it's an environment that supports growth without pressure. Unity has been a really positive place to dance and be part of a community.

It's more than just a dance studio, it's a space where everyone is welcomed, supported, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. The instructors are truly outstanding. They're not only incredibly talented, but also patient, motivating, and genuinely invested in their students. They break things down in a way that makes learning fun and accessible, while still pushing you to be your best. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced dancer, you'll feel challenged and inspired every single class. Unity Dance Group has created something really special, and I can't recommend it highly enough!

What a pleasant surprise!…read more I had never heard of this place. I'm terrible at dancing. Any and all types of dancing. However, one of the women I'm seeing is into novel experiences (and is also a good dancer, TBH) and I wanted to hang out with her this week so...there I was. There is a free beginner dance lesson every Wednesday. The instructors are good, really good. Arguably too good. I'm such a n00b that I didn't understand most of the jargon. Jargon that most people have probably known since middleschool. I guess I just need a "total n00b" class to be offered in the future. Anyway, I'm trying to challenge myself so, I still tried. I *kind of* got the dance. My steps were innacurate and but I didn't run into anyone and my timing was A-OK. It was a really fun experience now that I'm not out on the dance floor struggling through "syncopated steps". (whatever the hell those are)

I cannot recommend this dance studio enough! I initially had trouble finding a good dance studio in…read moreAlaska, but I'm so glad I came across this one--hands down, it's the best. Michelle, the main instructor, was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the challenging process of pursuing my dream to dance. I wasn't sure where to start, what classes to take, or how to move forward, but she made it so much easier. I've been attending for six weeks now, and I absolutely love it! I'm finally doing what I've always dreamed of, and it feels amazing. You don't have to be crazy talented or have any prior experience. There are multiple instructors who are so supportive and help guide you every step of the way. I've had such an incredible time and can't wait to continue on to the next class!

People are friendly and welcoming to visitors esp since local community is fairly small. Beginners welcome and they toss in a fun dance class at the beginning. Data for dancers: Ratio of songs are 4 bachata: 4 salsa: 2 zouk/kizomba/merengue, with a bias towards whatever dance was taught that night. Danced mainly as a lead and didn't run out of dances. :) For salsa, more on1 than on2 dancers (music leans Romantica). I'll be stopping by whenever I'm in Anchorage on a Friday night! :)

I've been taking my son to the parent & toddler classes now since April 2021. It's a great activity…read morethat gets us out of the house for something different, but my son is also learning gymnastic skills as well as building strength in a fun, relaxed environment. The studio is very clean, and there are 2 large gymnastic rooms. They also offer dance classes as well as parkour. I'm not sure if they have a dedicated studio space for the dance classes. If not that would mean they need to rearrange the gymnastic rooms. They have quite a lengthy list of different classes broken down by age/skill level. They also host different camps, and have "Friday night out" where you can leave your kids with them to do activities while you get some adult time. You can also host kids parties here. The parent/toddler classes are structured where you are joining in to assist/supervise your child on activities. The classes are 45 minutes & broken into different segments to keep the little attention spans engaged. We have primarily had Ms. Angel as a teacher who is excellent with the kids, but we'd also have had subs step in. All the staff we've encountered are all very professional and good with children. In the parent/toddler class you should be monitoring your child, but the teacher will step in to correct any problematic behavior if they see it. I assume in the classes where parents aren't included the staff is more involved in monitoring for any issues. Each week the room is set up in a different manner to allow the tots to explore, and climb. The class for tots & parents is structured so that there are 2 portions of free play, hello & goodbye circle time with Song, a guided warm up, a skill of focus that's taught by the instructor, ball time & bubbles. The different segments are great for keeping the tots engaged, and they especially get excited for the routine of it. A favorite for all of them is ball & bubble time. There are also different themes like super hero or beach week for all classes. This is a great studio, and I will continue to bring my child for classes here as long as he continues to show interest in gymnastics!

Experienced teachers that build relationships with your kids and as parent I get a ton out of chatting with teachers at pick-up. Not ONCE have we had a weird/bad experience. There are many folks here that have been a very positive/constructive influence for our kids over the years and I wouldn't limit the 5 stars to one particular classroom or teacher. Starbright also strives to stay open even when ASD closes for remote learning days which is super helpful with little ones. We are extremely happy that we decided to enroll our eldest in Missy's kindergarten class here. She is one of those rare teachers folks use in those password hints "what was name of your favorite teacher in your whole life?" Also Starbright is recently under new ownership and after experiencing both the old and the new, I can say they haven't lost a beat. The new owner/director (also) Missy is awesome. Bring your kids to Starbright and upgrade your life.
