There's several class types for all genres (kpop, hip hop, popping, jazz funk, house) - for different levels! So many teachers to choose from, recently I've been taking Jepoy's Beg Hip Hop on Friday nights and they've been so fun! I plan to take others! Each class is $25 unless there's a special guest, and you can book the class online or do a drop in when you're there (They accept Venmo on site!) I typically book day of, but best to book in advance when it comes to special guests. I wish there were class packs of some sort because I would love to come more consistently. Parking is pretty easy on Fri nights, but I can't speak for the other days, as it is located in the city. They also have spring performance workshops, which I plan to do in the future! I'm excited to keep coming back!

I did a drop-in class with City Dance Studios recently and had a wonderful time. It was a pop-up…read moreclass with Brian Puspos. The location was easy to find (I did UBER here so I cannot speak about parking). There were a lot of students that also seemed to have dropped off / used ride hailing in order to get here. The front desk was spectacular. So easy to navigate and check-in. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The bathrooms were a little tricky to find, there was definitely a line everytime I went. The main studio space WAS HUGE! So much space to dance and I was pleasantly surprised! The class itself was PACKED but I was able to find my way to the front/middle area! I do follow City Dance on Instagram in order to keep myself updated on instructors and classes offered! I can't wait to come back to try other genres. They have a massive assortment of teachers / instructors! Lots of talent in SF!

I was told first that a spot would be offered as an exception but then (and after telling my daughter who was so happy) this offer was rescinded by a different staff member. What is more I was made to feel it was my fault when I was doing nothing wrong. Heartbreaking.

I joined Rae Studios as a beginner dancer in 2024. Since then, the studio has been the highlight of…read moremy life in San Francisco. Every single teacher at Rae puts their all in. They take the time to look at you, what you're doing, and help you learn, adjust, and get to know your body more. I'm an unlimited member, but the $25 per class (or whatever it is), is the best way to spend $25 in San Francisco. Not exaggerating. Jess is such an experienced coach. She moves like water. She watches your body, and understands how it works. She makes hands on adjustments. Being in class with her - I truly feel like I'm with a professional-grade artist. Power Barre is a must, for any dancer, any fan of Pilates, or anyone who just wants a lean, toned dancer bod. And Pop Jam is so much fun. I've also taken Jazz Funk with Tashi, which is the BEST way to start a Monday. It's beginner friendly, but you learn technique. She's fun, lively, hilarious. Every single person is beaming when they leave her class. Drenched with Anna is also a pleasure. She's a delight to watch. A true athlete in her flow. It's a real workout! Belly Dance with Andrea was a surprise to me. I had no idea what Belly Dance was until I took this class. As it turns out, Belly Dance is like a mix of Pilates and Booty shaking. I didn't think I could move so precisely, but Andrea is such a good teacher, and so good at explaining the moves - I believe she can teach anyone how to Belly Dance. She has a thorough understanding of the history, the culture, and the artistry. Hip Hop with Mahi - the most energetic ball of fun there is. She's effortless. Drenched with Diamond - another great workout, and a delightful way to spend a Saturday morning. I love to take my girlfriends and get brunch in Union Square afterwards. Also, the Rae Studios Showcase was SO much fun. You get training in how to perform as a group. The adrenaline is intoxicating. There are people who do four per season, is how fun it is. How many opportunities in life are there to perform? Rae Studios makes this accessible to everyone. The world is tough right now. We could all use a little more dance and light in our lives. Check out Rae!

Love Rae studios, long overdue review:…read more Convenient location near Union Square, a short walk from Powell station. You will need to ring the studios for them to buzz you into the building and take the elevator up to the 7th floor. Beware, the elevator can take a hot minute, so get there early! There is usually a receptionist that can help check you in, but you can also self check-in via their tablet in the bigger room. That room also has a dressing room for those that need to change clothing. There is a key for the bathroom. There is a waiting room and cubbies to place your stuff and high end water fountains. I'm glad that Rae studios has partnered with Wellhub/Gympass, This week I took a regular kpop class with Oche for the first time. I have done the performance workshop series with Fran last fall. Both Oche and Fran are great teachers, super energetic, thorough warmups and always checking in if we have questions on the choreography. Also both are super stylish!! Typically, you can see what song is being taught on Rae Studio's Instagram the day before the class. I've also taken several of the free kpop classes at Civic Center with Fran. For the free class, it is on the other side of the outdoor gym. It can get loud during events nearby, but Fran does her best to be loud and clear. As for the performance workshop, it was fun but the day of the performance was quite chaotic. The lights were different than how it was during the rehearsal runs and it was super disappointing when the music cut out. On the bright side, I felt like our group got to know each other well and even held a potluck together! I probably won't do another performance workshop series anytime soon, but will definitely keep coming to the regular and free classes.

I've been taking Tika's classes on and off (mostly off) for around 15 years now and I'm done. She…read moreis just so abrasive, abusive and hostile to her students. She insults them when she spats at the entire class, baiting them with "WHY ARE YOU HERE?? NO ONE KNOWS WHY THEY'RE HERE!!".... She places beginning students deep in the back row, giving b.s. excuses like she does that so they're able to follow experienced students better. This could be helpful but even the experienced students are a little off from Tika at times. And then she yells "ARE YOU EVEN PAYING ATTENTION?" at the beginning students for not being able to follow her exactly. She stops the dance throughout class to berate the entire class. Everyone, as a whole, she talks down to. No one is goofing, chatting or not paying attention and she still flips out acting all insulted because we aren't understanding the cultural or historical significance of the dance. Meanwhile many, many of the dancers are of actual Latina or Caribbean descent and don't need to be scolded on our heritage. And she now speaks with a weird, b.s. fake accent. She didn't used to have one! I actually used to take samba classes with her, as students, back in the early 2000's. Same attitude, no accent. In a time in the world there is so much negativity and hostility towards others, this is the last thing I want to experience (and pay for) when going to dance. Can we all try to start with kindness, love and give the respect that we all deserve?

I echo claire g.'s post regarding dance instructor, Tika Morgan. I decided to do something out of…read moremy comfort zone and take one of her classes in January 2026. It was the Dance Fusion Strength class. Excited and ready to give it my all (and, of course having paid $20), the class was met with an unprofessional, ranting, and intimidating instructor. Tika was almost accusatory in her tone asking everyone if they'd read the class description and knew why they were there. She further went on explaining how much effort and time she put into the class before we'd even started. It felt incredibly hostile and rather than telling her to eff off, I suffered through the class that was tarnished from the beginning by her words. By the end, following the stress of worrying about being yelled at the entire, I was in tears. Miserable experience. Avoid this chick at all costs!!!

On her first day, she reported to me that the jazz teacher (Isabela) did not allow the students to take bathroom breaks. She was also unnecessarily mean and said to one of the students she didn't care that they were tired. I wrote an e-mail addressing my concerns, and for some odd reason this same teacher was extra rude to my daughter the next day. She made my daughter do extra warm up reps although my daughter said her back was hurting from practice the day prior. At some point during class, she grabbed my daughter's arm very harshly. All the students in that class agreed that this teacher was unfair and unkind. My daughter refused to go back to dance camp and we had 2 days left of paid camp. Management refused to reimburse me and made excuses for this type of abusive/unprofessional behavior for this particular teacher. All other staff members were very nice. I can make a bigger deal about this matter by filing a complaint with the BBB or even take them to civil court. But I've decided to write my first review on Yelp just to forewarn other parents.

The inner journalist in me wanted to go out to Sexitude to cover the dance group for Yelp. Sexitude…read moreonly has 8 reviews, but it stands out to me. Perhaps, my inner gay man saw a spark in Sexitude. Also, it's offered as a ClassPass option. So, on a Sunday morning at 11AM, you can get yourself to church, or hang out with Darcy "Baby D." Sexitude offers different dance routines. For a month, they will work on one dance routine, and it should change month to month. I am not really a big dancer. It is not my passion, but I can do some basic moves and have a basic grasp of dancing. Like side-step, turn around, point your toe, and SHIMMY like Jimmy. If you have done this before, it won't be foreign and you can get going with the group. I was very out of step. I did enjoy the gay factor and the gay guys are cute and fun to watch. They are really into the dancing. Darcy leads a nightclub in SOMA as well. If you are into basic dancing for exercise, you would like Sexitude. It's giddy dancing that goes along with some fun music.

The steps are broken down into easily graspable parts, the choreo is a little challenging but at the same time not too complex which lets you also focus on the "working out" part of it, and moreover the energy level of the instructor is what makes this class truly motivating and pushes you harder. Palak also organizes happy hours, which is a great way to meet people if you're new to the city. Would definitely recommend this class for a fun workout!
