    Best dance studio in Los Angeles!!! Yireh is the best teacher ever and cares so much about the development of her students. This is the place to go if you want to learn full k-pop choreographies while being given the chance to polish your fundamentals along the way. Going to Debut, I was also given the opportunity to showcase what I have learned on stage during the annual Koreatown Festival. Throughout the rehearsal process, I was able to experience a small preview of what it is like to train as a professional dancer. Even though it was rigorous and tough because of the limited time we had to practice, it was worth the effort because the results were amazing and I made some amazing friends along the way. It was definitely an experience you have to experience at least once in your life. The community in Debut is also very welcoming and friendly. I have made many friends in the studio and our friendships are not just limited within the studio. The friends I made in Debut are not just acquaintances or classmates I meet during dance class, they have become almost like family. Debut is a great place to dance with a safe environment to make mistakes. It is a place where new dancers can start out their journey and outstanding dancers can showcase their talent. Most importantly, I am very thankful to Debut because not only has it given me a safe space to learn how to dance, but it has given me an amazing group of friends and a mentor that has helped me improve my dancing and also my personal growth as a person. It may sound cliche, but it is true, take my word for it!!

    I'm not sure what else to say about Debut Dance District other than deciding to go here (on my own, with absolutely 0 dance experience) was one of the best decisions I ever made. If you're nervous about getting involved, are on the fence about going because you have no dance background, or feel shy because you have no one to go with, no need. Everyone that goes here is incredibly friendly and welcoming - and that's one of the best parts about Debut: the community. Everyone cheers each other on, and you will for sure meet new people and make friends who you can hang with outside of the dance studio. I started making friends on just my second class. And there's very few feelings more rewarding than the camraderie you'll have formed with your fellow classmates after finishing learning a song. They teach every K-pop song you can think of here, balancing all the new hits with popular classics. There are class options that will teach you the entirety of the song (and at different speeds - beginners can learn a song over the course of a month, and those who are more advanced can learn a song over 2 weeks), and single classes where you can learn just the chorus. Make no mistake: K-pop doesn't come to you overnight, so you do have to practice at home on your own in between classes if you want to truly perfect the moves. Yireh is the primary instructor, and while some of the reviews say she is strict, I couldn't disagree more. She cares very much about making her students better. The way she breaks down each dance will have you immediately dancing in a way you may not even have thought was previously possible. She is absolutely incredible - and I know I speak for everyone when I say we are in constant amazement at her dance ability, teaching ability, and how she knows the choreo to EVERY K-pop song.

    I've been going to Debut Dance District for three months, and I can confirm that this is the happiest I've been in a long time. Connecting with so many people with similar interests has been incredible, and coming to Debut was easily the best decision I've ever made. All the staff are so kind and friendly and truly add to the experience. Yireh is such an excellent teacher, dancer, and amazing person overall. She truly cares for all her students and pushes them to do their best. In each class I've taken I have made so many amazing friends & memories :D

From the aesthetic to the instructors to the students themselves, this place has a welcoming atmosphere to all dance levels and I feel comfortable to explore dancing with all the different styles of dance they offer. Their social media presence is also great! They are constantly updating their social media (Instagram) with up to date info on each week's/day's classes such as the instructor or the song/combo they'll be teaching. The linked website is also relatively easy to use and it's pretty simple to register for classes. I mainly come for the Hip-Hop and Kpop classes they offer and I enjoy them a lot! Coming into the studio, they check you in and have you wait in the comfy waiting area before the class starts. The dance studio itself is pretty roomy and there's long mirrors up front. They also offer other dance studio spots at the property that you can rent out for private rehearsal or 1:1's. For rates it's usually $20-$25 for a 1 hour 30 min class depending on the instructor and what they're teaching. The classes usually take place from 6pm - 10:30pm (3 classes a night) during the week and another 3 classes from afternoon to night on Saturday's. For parking, it's street parking but I'd say it's relatively easy to find a spot nearby. If you're in LA, I'd definitely recommend hitting this place up for a class or 2!

It has a large infrared light bar, but it also has very strong, infrared light around the sauna otherwise, and on the ceiling of the sauna as well. and this one, you are also able to adjust it to other types of light such as blue, green, Amber, etc.You are also to control your own levels of heat. There is a television with prepaid Amazon prime channels. The Bluetooth speaker inside the sauna is loud and crisp, and of course you can control the levels and channels with the remote.

Spend your money at a pole studio that creates safe, work opportunities and spaces for black women. Especially when they had the opportunity to do so, and chose to take the extra step to ignore the chance to let a black woman safely generate money in their space.
