Natalie F.

As I got ready for my wedding, I realized that my two left feet and general lack of comfort with dancing could be a big problem!!! A friend sent me Nadia's information. I honestly was not really looking forward to taking dancing lessons, but Nadia made it SO FUN. She encouraged us to try new moves / twirls I wouldn't have thought I could ever do. My fiancé had a great time, too, and now we're debating learning some salsa post-wedding. Thank you, Nadia!!

Nadia is an awesome instructor ! The best salsa teacher in LA!!
Michael P.

I had my first lesson with Nadia who's amazing! She is such a great teacher and very patient, knowledgeable and makes salsa fun to learn! I'm definitely going to get more lessons! HIGHLY recommended!!!

Nadia is the best! She was so much fun to work with and taught us a relatively "easy" choreographed first dance for our wedding that impressed and entertained our guests. We were super nervous about having all eyes on us dancing but it ended up being one of my favorite parts of the night.

First Dance was a dream, thank you Nadia!!!!
Amanda M.

There are so many wonderful things I can say about our experience with Nadia @ Dance Attractions but honestly the most impactful part of the whole experience is just what a wonderfully kind and patient person she is. I am such a shy and stiff person and I was really nervous about this first dance. She really helped me become comfortable with dancing and she made our lessons a lot of fun. We had 3 lessons with Nadia and we cannot thank her enough for choreographing a spectacularly sweet first dance for my wife and I. The end result was absolutely perfect and better than I could have ever hoped for. If I could figure out how to post the video I would lol Without a doubt, I would recommend dance lessons with Nadia to anyone, she is a fantastic dance instructor!

Nory K.

We highly recommend Nadia!! We were beginners at best when we started and walked out feeling like pros by the end of our third class. She would teach us steps and we would add our own flare with her encouragement. The classes were fun and full of laughters. The guests were super impressed!! Nadia made this experience super memorable!!

Her teaching style is clear, encouraging, and so supportive - even through all our mistakes, she was patient and upbeat.

Thanks to her, our first dance turned out so graceful and smooth - and it was to a fun, upbeat song that she helped us bring to life beautifully. It felt like us, and we got so many compliments. We couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Sindy is truly the best - kind, professional, and completely dedicated to helping her couples shine. We're so grateful for her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone wanting to feel confident and look great on the dance floor.

She has such a brilliant spirit--so thoughtful, kind, and genuinely invested in making the experience meaningful. What could have felt intimidating as complete beginners with zero dance experience quickly became one of the most joyful parts of preparing for our big day. We chose Brown Eyed Girl for our first dance, which isn't the most typical choice, and Lisa completely embraced it. She choreographed something that felt perfectly us--fun, natural, and achievable for beginners while still looking beautiful. She has an incredible gift for tailoring choreography to your abilities while helping you feel confident every step of the way. What truly sets Lisa apart is the care she puts into her work. She spent time outside of our lessons thoughtfully crafting and refining our dance, something we've honestly never seen another instructor do. Her attention to detail and genuine investment made us feel so supported. Lisa didn't just teach us a dance--she helped create one of the most memorable moments of our wedding. We'll be recommending her to every friend and family member with an upcoming wedding. She is truly one of a kind.

She has an amazing, fun, and outgoing personality that made every lesson so enjoyable. She made us feel at ease from the start, and it never felt like a chore--more like a fun and exciting activity we looked forward to every week. One of the things that stood out most was her flexibility. We had a lot of moving parts with wedding planning, but Lisa was always accommodating with our schedules. As a teacher, she is so patient as we worked through new moves. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple and choreographed something that matched our beginner skill level, while still being show-stopping for our guests. On the big day, our first dance was a hit! We've received so many compliments from our family and friends who were blown away by how smooth and elegant it looked. We couldn't have done it without Lisa. The dance lessons ended up being one of our absolute favorite parts of the wedding planning process, and we're so grateful for her guidance and encouragement. If you're looking for an instructor who will make your first dance both fun and memorable, we can't recommend Lisa enough. Thank you again for making our special day even more amazing! We love you Lisa! -Adam & Ariela

I signed up online via a link from their Instagram and the website was pretty user friendly and I was able to get registered for the class I wanted. No sweat. Looking for parking can be tough as it's street parking only, so I came a bit early to ensure I was able to get a spot. Walking in, the interior was pretty cozy and it was smaller compared to other studios I've been to in LA, but not a bad thing at all! The person working the front greeted me and I told her it was my first time so she gave me a rundown of how the studio works. I appreciate the great customer service! They have a full front mirror, cubbies to store your belongings, a clean bathroom, and an ipad up front to sign in. The class was comfortable since there were people of different dance levels so it's not intimidating. I also liked that it wasn't crowded. The classes usually last for 1 hour and 30 min. I would definitely take a class here again in the future.

There is a kids' program taught by a lovely young dancer, Marina Munoz. She also teaches two adult classes. I took the Tuesday night class and it was a blast: rigorous , great music, classic Luigi/Hama warmup. The combination was fast and my brain not working perfectly but it is doable for an advanced beginner or intermediate. The across the floor Tuesday had two short combinations, both easy to pick up (one with kicks and another with turns) and both at a diagonal in pairs. The studio is gorgeous with high, beamed wood ceilings and it was a dream to take a real jazz (not hip hop) class so close to my parents' house, near where I studied with Hama back in the 1980s (Katnap on Venice by Walgrove). And to make matters even better, there is a FREE parking lot! Off Abbott Kinney , this can be regarded as nothing short of a miracle. 16 a class. But 10 for 140 with no expiration date. This is a RARE treat in any of LA but unheard of in WLA circa 2013

It tells potential students to reach out to the instructor before taking a class. The purpose of a website / marketing is to make it easier for the consumer to do business with you. No other studios do this. I just showed up for the first class and luckily saw another student who showed me where the entrance is. I've seen others do the same. Coco is warm and welcoming. Mark is off-putting and rude to most newcomers. It also lacks all basic information and policies you expect to see on a dance studio website - there is no bathroom, dressing rooms etc. There are no class policies, payment information, prices, anti-harassment policies, processes for how to report incidents. Customers are treated differently - I've seen some told to use the owner's bathroom in her home while others told to go across the street to the park. Communications are poor and myself and other students have driven a long way to attend class only to find out class was cancelled. Be prepared for mixed messages. I had been going there 4-5 times a week for a year and received nothing but positive feedback. I always felt welcome there. Out of the blue I received the nastiest, rudest, most threatening email from the owner I've ever received. For months she wouldn't give me a reason and refused to have a conversation about it like any reasonable person / business owner would have done in her position. It was insulting, rude and unnecessary. Not to mention completely passive aggressive. If there were a problem, wouldn't you pull them aside after class to chat or set-up time for a discussion? No, straight to threats. Please note: Coco is one of the best teachers I've ever studied with and this review/rating no way reflects on her. She is professional, communicates well, is patient and creates a true no judgement environment to learn in. She is also one of the best sources of information on tap. She truly wants to see her students grow. And she offers a true intro to tap class for adults which is difficult to find in any style of dance. I have not had the opportunity to study with Joseph or Lynn but have heard only good things.

I honestly haven't seen any studios focusing on TRX classes alone and I was pretty stoked when I got the deal. First off, Studio U is located on Abbot Kinney just down the street from my favorite spinning studio, YAS. I'm shocked that I never knew this place existed and I literally drive by everyday. I guess I was really lucky on my first visit t there was one other student beside me. The instructor, Bevin is knowledgeable, patient and very nice...she watched our every move, form and reminded us to keep breathing. The entire session was literally like a semi-private. My body definitely remembered the moves and I'm sure I'll be feeling sore tomorrow. You can sign up for classes online and there is a 24-hour cancellation policy. Bevin was understanding the first time I canceled due to a last minute conference call I had at work with Asia. I understand now why they need such a lengthy period of time for cancellation as the class sizes are really small. Nevertheless, I will definitely be coming back here.

Walking-in, the music was loudly playing and the interior had a party type of vibe. Thankfully there were ear plugs available for purchase. Checking-in was a bit difficult since it was hard for me to hear the receptionist due to the loud music. She was also wasn't the most friendly or welcoming which didn't make me feel great. I also needed to use the bathroom and her directions weren't very clear, so I had to ask her where to locate it a couple of times. I ended up using the bathroom at a nearby spa which I'm not sure if that's the bathroom she was referring to. There were lots of cubbies to store my stuff before taking the class which was nice. The age demographic of the participants was on the higher side, but everyone seemed so energetic. The instructor was also fun and lively. I liked her hip-hop style choreography which was full of energy and grooves. I was impressed that she was able to dance with so much energy for an hour straight. I overall enjoyed the music selection and choreography of the class. Overall, a decent experience here. Since it was my first time, I was able to get into this class for $15. Otherwise it would be $30 which I think is a bit pricey compared to regular dance classes in LA that go for 1 hour and 30 minutes for around $20. However, I do recognize this could be the standard for these types of classes. I wouldn't go out of my way to do this again, but would be possibly down if someone invited me. More of a preference, but I would feel more comfortable taking classes like these with people closer to my age demographic.
