Love this studio! Been going for about a year ish now. I used to go to studios on Melrose & Ventura…read moreexclusively but wanted something closer to the west side and this has been the perfect spot! Truly one of the most welcoming studios I've ever been to as well - it's the fastest I've made new dance friends at a studio before and the staff is so nice. They film the end of every class which is great, and sometimes they'll even bring in professional videographers for certain classes or pop ups. I typically go to Jingle's jazz funk and heels classes but have branched out recently to Kpop and other instructors and have always had a good experience.

My first time at this dance studio and it was a good experience! I came for a 6pm Kpop class taught…read moreby Ria on a Monday. 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.

Karma is an A-type personality who makes sure you get a lot out of the class, but she's also…read moreincredibly emotionally in tune, which is a rare and amazing mix. She makes sure you get the moves while also keeping the environment supportive, comfortable, and celebratory. I love when she gets so excited that she literally starts screaming because someone in class is going off. She celebrates people constantly, by name or even just noticing something they're rocking like, "Yes, GREEN JUMPSUIT!" Being the only guy in the class, I've never once felt isolated, judged, or uncomfortable about assumptions people might make about me. I've only ever felt celebrated. It was refreshing not having to navigate that in a public place. She encourages fluidity in whatever way feels right for you, whether it's super masc, super feminine, or somewhere in between. Her focus is helping you connect to your artistic dance spirit, and that's when you know you're doing it right. She also celebrates neurodiversity and really focuses on what the strengths are within that, while also helping people navigate certain challenges. Karma's class is more than just learning choreography. Watching her dance is witnessing powerful, raw, and inspiring artistry. When she demos, it honestly feels like a mini performance during class. Then when she dances with us right after, you feel like this epic backup dancer, and it inspires new moves and articulations within you. There's also a strong sense of community in Karma's class. She's built a culture where you not only bring self-love to the class, but appreciation and love for the people dancing alongside you. Someone might be doing a twerk, an offbeat wild move on their chair, or some epic crawl across the floor, and the whole class erupts with roaring encouragement. Karma encourages asking questions about the dance moves and routines. She absolutely loves them. But remember, she's an A-type personality, so be sure to raise your hand. ; ] She's also a motivational instructor because she's real. She doesn't say generic things. Sometimes she shares philosophies or lessons that helped her in life, and I've caught myself thinking, "How is this level of Impacting dialogue happening in a chair dance class?" It's a one-of-a-kind experience that involves a chair, saucy moves, and surprising moments of human-centered community, full of loving people hosted by the radiant Karma!

I also appreciated her focus on hip hop fundamentals like popping and waving as part of our warmup. While I enjoyed the class, I think it would have been intimidating if it was my first time setting foot in a dance studio. I would encourage the front desk employees to greet first time visitors and give them a brief rundown of the space, where to place your belongings, what to expect from class, etc. A lot of the people in the class seemed to know each other already which just shows you how popular these classes are. I hope to return soon!

This place is amazing! I HIGHLY recommend anyone who's even a little bit interested in learning…read moreabout dance to take the plunge and come to a class. I did that in November '23 and have been going every week ever since (sometimes 4 time/week). I've kinda let it take over my life because of how much fun it is, how great the people are (students and teachers) and what a nice little dance family it has become for me. Some students take classes to be able to compete in dance competitions, others just do it for the pure joy of dancing. Personally, I do it for the pure joy but the nice thing is the studio is welcoming to all people regardless of why you're taking the class. And it has been pure joy. Please do yourself a favor and come to a class. You won't regret it. Also, all the teachers are fantastic but a special shout-out to Jackie and Raul, who both teach salsa classes, among others, and who have helped foster that home-away-from-home feeling at the studio. I honestly can't thank them enough.

The service Elinor provided was terrible too. Once session when kids were acting out, she yelled at them and treated them so unkindly that the girls were I Tera and they never wanted to come back.

I asked very kindly for the refund but she refused! So rude...do t go to her!!!!!

REVIEW FOR ADULT CLASSES: I danced for the first half of my life, and then took a long hiatus. I…read morealways wanted to pick up dance again as an adult, but I was having a hard time finding a class I could keep up with as someone who hadn't been dancing for a long time. A little over a year ago, I saw that WLAD offers adult tap classes (a rare find!), I thought I'd give it a go, and I'm so grateful for the community I've found here! While WLAD is traditionally a studio for kids, I love that they offer tap, jazz, hip-hop, and ballet exclusively for adults, and in a completely non-judgmental environment (Heavy on the non-judgmental - EVERYONE is welcome, even if you're a total novice!). If you're even considering trying it out, I highly encourage you to come tap with us. I've been coming to Kistina's weekly class for over a year now, and I'm so happy to have dance back in my life!

She is…read morewonderful and patient with the kids and knows just how much to push them to make progress without it being too much! The winter recital is coming up and our daughter is so excited to be part of she show as an Angel in the nutcracker! It is so lovely that the little ones get to be part of the show and feel that they are part of a family of dancers. The studios owner, Ms. Mariah, really cultivates this feeling of belonging. I love the adult tap with Ms. Kistina! I started last year as a complete novice and look forward to my time there every week! Can't wait to try out some more classes, once the craziness of the holidays is past us.

I was looking for a place that had technically skilled instructors AND a warm, welcoming environment. This is not easy to find. Often with teachers of this caliber and training, you find a competitive and cold culture which doesn't work for my daughter or for me. The Floor couldn't be further from this. The Studio Director must place high importance on cultural fit because every single person we've worked with here is top-notch - helpful, attentive and just a good human. The Floor is a wonderful place - it honestly feels like family. My daughter loves it here so much that she's taking 3 classes a week. Even teachers who have never taught her know her by name, and they know me too! It's just that kind of place. I can't recommend it highly enough.

THIS IS IT! I've been taken her classes everywhere from East LA to West LA…read more I've taken different dance classes at different places but they were never satisfied me. Either it's too focused on work out or too much on techniques, I want a class that is fun, energetic, brings me confidence and inspiration. One day my dream finally came true when I bumped into Andrea's class. YAY!!! As a newbie to her class, it's a bit challenge at the beginning. But don't get intimidated, I believe it's the same for everyone the first time. After the first class, it opens up your uncomfortableness and your courage keeps growing. I CAN DO IT! Sounds fascinated isn't it? The good thing is Andrea is a great observant and she will teaches you how to let go and just enjoy yourself. You will get better each time in the class. What I like the most about the class: #1 FUN!!! If you are one of those girls who can't stand treadmill and want a good workout, this is for you. Through the one hour nonstop dance session you won't know how much you sweat. You burn the calories as if you don't even notice. Because her class includes a combination of different dance styles, hip hop, Latin, Zumba, etc. and core exercises which allows you to exercise every parts of your muscles in different intensity. #2 Great music!!! First of all, her music is like magic, in one song it turns you into a super happy girl, the next turns you into a sexy lady. Also, I don't know if you have the same experience like me or not, when you hear the right music with the right beat, it alleviate your mood and make it feel like doing abs move/sit up so much easier. Andrea found these right type of music that suit every different moves you have. #3 Free the spirit. This class is quite powerful. Taking this class is like having a personal dialogue with yourself. Through each dance movements, I can feel it as who I am, learn how to move as women, and communicate with the inner self and be more confident, sexy and happy, feeling the women empowerment. After taking her class, I felt more confident and happier. Tips: LA dance fit offers free trial for her first class. So just let the front desk know it's your first time. Also, she's teaching at Your Neighborhood Studio every Thursday at 6pm. Survival rule: JUST LET GO & ENJOY YOURSELF! Alright. It's your turn to experience this class and let me know what you think.

Ms. Emily has the biggest heart and is a complete natural at interacting with children so young. At the beginning of the session, when my daughter had just turned 2, she had a lot of trouble focusing on her teacher and following instructions - which I learned is completely okay. Over time, her ability to focus improved and she would look forward to her ballet and tap class every weekend. Her favorite part was when Ms. Emily would give a sticker or glitter at the end of class. I loved watching how happy she was in class and how much she talked about it afterwards. Sadly, due to the COVID situation, the studio has been closed for the last two months and our routine has been disrupted. We're really hopeful that the situation improves in Los Angeles and we can find a way to have the class back in a safe way. We can't wait to be back! P.S. Funny story.. I was SO excited to put my (then) 2 year old in a mommy & me ballet class that I read the class instructions very carefully... the dress code was fairly specific (a certain color leotard, tights, ballet slippers etc). So I thought the moms were supposed to dress up just like their daughters. First class ever, I showed up in full leotard and tights to dance with my girl! After that, I realized the moms come in regular clothes so I was careful to dress appropriately from then on. Just a tip for other moms enrolling in the mommy & me class!
