After a false start at another studio where I didn't feel appreciated, I found Jane and Fritzi (RIP) who immediately let me know I was in a place where the love of dance was paramount and that "NO PRESSURE" was their modus operandi. Jane makes sure that fees are affordable and that every class is filled with substance and laughter. I'm looking forward to many more spins around their new expanded dance floor!

I did some classes with a specific niche dance teacher who isn't a "regular" teacher at this studio…read morebut instead paid to use the space. This review isn't about the teacher but about everything else. So if you're thinking about using them for your own rental (or booking for photo shoots like their site mentions), this review is for you. Every time I was there one of the two owners would sit and watch the majority of the class with their pet dog that would lounge on the furniture at the front or in their retail area. It's really inappropriate and distracting. One time someone stepped in dog crap inside and tracked it around the front seating area. Just... ew. Gross. Do these ladies bring their pets when they teach or is it only when someone else pays to use the space? One of the owners micromanaged the sound level the whole time she was there. Mind you, the speaker never popped or crackled or hit a level to worry about damaging it, nor were the neighboring businesses open to complain... I'm still laughing about it because their site boasts that they have quality sound but then don't want to let you use it. And then the chiming in when she had no business because it wasn't her class. If I wanted a boomer's opinion about something I would call my mom. From a student's perspective, this is objectively a nice studio space... If the floors didn't have a hump in one section, a ton of windows with no curtain thus blinding half the room perfectly with reflections from the sun, and a lingering buzzkill while you're trying to enjoy a class. I understand they're probably paranoid about their merchandise growing legs and walking off, but is there nothing they could do in a back corner to not feel like they're being a spectator? The decoration is cute, they have rotating artists set up their work, and this place has a lot of potential to be great. But either they need to have a system to trust the person teaching and give them a spare key (there's interior cameras...) or they need to figure out better customer service skills. It's like the boomeriest boomer that ever boomed opened up a business so they had something to do with their time. I wish these two the best of luck with their other classes and hope my experiences are unique to the times I was there.

Back when I was a USF grad student, I was on a search to take my first hip hop class. I was…read moreenamored with all the amazing hip hop dancers I was seeing in movies, on tv, and on the internet. I would drive to and call dance studio after dance studio, but they would either not offer adult classes or their adult hip hop classes were taught by contemporary or jazz dancers. It just wasn't what I was looking for. One day, one of these jazz dancers teaching the hip hop class told me about VYB and Demario Henry. Once I took my first class at VYB, I was disappointed in myself for not finding this place sooner! VYB is THE PLACE for adult dance classes in Tampa. They offer a variety of dance styles for beginner, intermediate, and advanced dancers with, in my opinion, some of the best dance teachers in the state of Florida. It's a welcoming community of fun-loving, good-hearted people with a passion for expression through movement (Voice Your Body)!
