I like the idea of this studio but it not for me. Overall I would give 3.5 stars. Background on me:…read moredanced since I was a child but in hiphop, cheer, step and African dance. I also have coached a cheer squad. I also was a Zumba instructor for 5 years. Location is prime. Right off Damen (Blue Line). Plenty of paid parking in several directions. I can actually bike here in 10 minutes. Studio it self is on the 3rd floor. I didn't see an elevator but not really an issue. However you have to get buzzed in so don't be late. I never had a problem. Studio was spacious. Dance floor was good. Plenty of mirrors and clean bathroom. Ventilation could be better. View of Point is beautiful. Price for value is good. I had a groupon for 5 classes. I have only done 4, and unsure if I will take the last class. Also they have new client specials which seem very good. I think $30 for a week for unlimited classes. Class format I found frustrating. I pick up choreography very fast. I attended two different classes with three different instructors. Zi-Cardio and B-Girl Dance (hiphop). While I was able to keep up in class, I found the choreography to be too much. Not hard just too many unnecessary additions. It was not intuitive at all. Because so many extra moves put in, often the instructor was off-beat. This is frustrating for any dancer. Also because so much extra steps, very hard to predict the next move unless you have done the song before. Instructors were all friendly. Ahn is a beautiful dancer and stayed on beat the full time. Downside to all instructors is that trying to perform for live recorded class and little actual instruction given. Take aways: good studio but not my preference. If you do trial, go for full month. Will take 3 to 5 classes to pick up choreography. Classes don't seem conducive to new or drop-in students. Much better if you are a member and come at least 2x a week. Not for me because classes won't improve my dance skills. Frustrating choreography because often time spent trying to figure the move which was being done in such an awkward way. If you are a hiphop or latin dancer, probably won't work for you. Classes were very good for cardio. On average 550 calories burned per class. Love the fact thay every class had a full arms song!!! Good luck studio as I love women run businesses!!! Tip: check out routines on Instagram and that will give you an idea of how they dance at this studio.

My overall confidence and energy are a lot higher too. I really like that the instructors are high energy and give you tips to keep you going, but also super understanding that you may need rests or can't keep up the whole time, as my first adult dance class this was super important to me for being able to jump in and feel comfortable. The location is also amazing, right off the Damen blue line, in a loft studio space with big windows and lots of natural light that seems to be right out of a movie. I always feel like the character from Flashdance walking up the staircase to class. For measure, I am a pretty athletic and go to the gym 3-4x a week, and here was my response to the following classes: The ballerina fight club gave me the best workout and towards the end I almost fainted but took a mini water break and was able to power through, has a combination of cardio with toning/sculpting. The Zi-Cardio was less of a workout and a bit easier for me, but I had a lot of fun and it was a mood booster(though this is a great exercise class for those with a lower threshold). The ballerina bum workouts are the hardest for me, not so much cardio but more so toning and sculpting specific muscle groups. I have a feeling the WERQ and hip hop classes I will take this weekend will be my favorite though-looking forward to trying them out, and definitely plan on signing up for more classes after my trial is done.

Inspite of this horrid flaw, with the hard sell by friends I tried something new- not knowing what to expect. AND I think I'm in love after my first dance outing in my life ever at Bluetopia! The class was very beginner friendly. The patrons were ubernice. I was impressed many are committed, very, VERY talented dancers. I could not help noting how attractive everyone was. A photographer making convo outside after taking a pic of me and my cuteee guy bud said blues dancers have the best asses of most dancers he photographed/met. . . best hips to waist ratios. Well, I did observe everyone brought the sexy and I immediately noted a Craig from Degrassi lookalike and a smokin hot Aleksander Skarsgard twin (who I danced with/made out with most of the night). The live blues band was hot as hell. They killed it with blues standards and jazzy tunes. Everyone on the floor was nice as heck. Strangers asked me to dance all night long and were patient with me even though I am a very novice follow. I tried my best to learn the steps and loved the dips, spins, and flourishes. HOT! They scorched the floorboards and I loved it all night long! The venue was contradictorally roomy yet intimate. The lesson from the astute and sweet instructors was from 8-9 and everyone danced past 2 am. For a first time, I'd call it a fun success and can't wait to return. It converted a sucky non-rhymatic dweeb into a tiny dancer. A bad romance has started for this free bitch, baby! Just dance!

To sign up, you must purchase private lessons and within the package, you are invited to attend group dance classes as well. There are typically at least two private sessions going on at any given time along with a group session. Throughout our six sessions, we were paired with three different instructors - Austin, Ben, and Mitchell who were all 5-star professionals. We have primarily danced with Austin in our private lessons and working with him is such a pleasure. He asks questions like are you here to become a professional? For a big event coming up? Or for fun? Either way, all team members treat you with the utmost respect as this is their chosen craft. They are attentive to every part of their student's body to set you up for success to be the best dancer you can be. In our first group dance class, there was myself, my partner, and two other pairs of partners there. This is a great part of training for dance because you rotate partners around the class and therefore learn to take smaller or larger movements based on your new partner. Pro-tip for parking: park on N Marshfield Ave after 6 PM for free parking. I can always find a spot there - it is a quiet side street.

There were dancers of all skill levels which made it a really welcoming environment too! The class was an hour and started with barre and then went into some floor combinations.
