This is a long overdue review for San Francisco Dance Space. My daughter has been a student there…read morefor 10 years now. We first joined SFDS when my daughter was two years old because we lived in the neighborhood and she wanted to wear a tutu. Fast forward and she is a dedicated dancer with SFDS. Her love of dance and dedication to ballet is due to the dedication, passion and skill of the business owner, Laura and her team. My daughter has landed roles in city-wide dance performances with the education she has had at SFDS. At the end of every year, like most practices, SFDS puts on a performance. This performance is above and beyond anything you wold imagine. I am talking the real deal - the costumes, the props, the whole performance is next level. I also want to add that Ms. Laura (the business owner) is a gem. She is a true teacher in the sense that she is vested in all of the children who attend her program. Recently, SFDS was forced to pivot their approach from in-person sessions to telepractice (due to COVID-19). Almost immediately, classes continued online - they have been excellent and during this crazy time its been something stable in my daughter's life. Thank you SFDS for providing a caring, challenging and fun space for the dancers!

My daughter has danced at SFDS since she was 3. I have seen her blossom not only as a dancer but…read moreas a young woman. The teacher's here, especially Ms. Laura, have pushed her and nurtured her all along the way. The yearly recitals are so well organized and carried out and as a parent I am impressed year after year. The lessons learned here will carry her into a future as a strong, confident, funny person. Watching all this transitioned to online classes during SIP has been amazing. I cannot recommend this studio enough.

My 2 kids just completed their camp week with Virginie from Petits Pas. They had a blast and the…read moreend of week show was the most fun and successful shows of all time! The camp theme was Circus Life, my kids learnt some cute 'clowny' songs, mastered acrobatic moves and yoga pauses and did really creative arts & crafts. They came back home today with an amazing souvenir of their camp. On top of that, the location of the camp was gorgeous: access to a patio with green lawn surrounded by typical Mission-style architecture, we were lucky to have a sunny weather through out the full week. Can't wait for a new round of camp with Petits Pas next year!

Virginie, Lena and all the staff at Petit Pas are incredibly gifted artists who are so passionate at creating the most fantastic environment for children to explore and thrive in all facets of acrobatics, dance, art, creativity and other forms of self-expression. The staff is also super dedicated to the wellbeing of their campers and keep their safety top of mind at all times. I fully recommend Petit Pas if you are looking for your children to emotionally grow and have wonderful experiences! I can't wait to enroll both my children in next year's sessions. Thank you, Petit Pas for not only providing peace of mind to parents but also for making such a positive impact to the lives of so many children. Bravo!

So far we've learned the basics of Swing, Bachata, and Night Club 2 Step. David Blood, the instructor is patient and excellent, and his volunteer helpers are fantastic (thanks!). We looked him up on ratemyprofessor and he gets the fire logo which means he's a "hot" professor :-). Congats, David, on being so smooth! The class size started out pretty full, but if you stick it out for a few weeks, it gets down to about 20 people. It is pretty even between men and women, and you dance with everyone. The only pain point is the slightly annoying process of having to fill out a college application to get in. But the price and instruction are awesome, so it is well worth it! Highly recommend.

Each student has a portable square platform to dance on. There were ~ 13 students so it's not crowded at all. I was able to see and hear her so clearly. She is experienced (to explain body mechanics in addition to technique), patient, and funny. I have a lot of fun. There won't be a class on 8/30/14 because of Labor Day. Last day to add full-term credit classes in-person & on WEB4 is 9/5/14. Next class is 9/6/14. We need more students in the class to keep the class. $46/1 unit class a semester is more affordable than studio at $15-$20/class. Students can take this for pass/not pass instead of a grade. Also, Kathe has a bag of pretty clean looking tap shoes from people who gave her, left unclaimed for students to use. She is as accomodating as a nice teacher can be.

The entire place is falling apart, filthy, and woefully non-ADA Compliant! The equipment is…read moremalfunctioning regularly. The entire "wet area" is constantly malfunctioning. There are heater issues in the pool and jacuzzi so often the members joke that "they must have paid the energy bill" the few times they are functioning adequately. The city has shut down the pool for repairs and health violations many times in my less than a year there. Managers do absolutely nothing but mislead and evade, refuse to return an important email (incidentally it took 6 months to finally get Francisco's email - he refused to speak with me or give me his email on 3 occasions), he has also failed to return a few phone calls and 4 in-person requests to front desk staff asking for his help address the more serious issues during the 7 months I have been a member. The women's locker room is not ADA compliant, and the disabled restroom stall is not labeled as such and used as a leisurely changing room often. The stall is always disgustingly dirty, even on the so called cleaning day. This disabled stall often has no toilet covers or toilet paper - especially on weekends, trash and soiled toilet paper strewn all over the floor, a dangerous loose toilet seat they refuse to fix or tighten, and feces and spitballs on the walls since August 2025. The disabled restroom in the common area is always locked and unusable. I am directed there when I have brought the ongoing issues to their attention. There is no lifeguard in the wet area. A swim school takes up the most common hours for pool usage, members are not allowed during this time. An extreme lack of gym and pool etiquette exists beyond anything I have ever seen as a former swimmer, now water walker, and gym member for 40+ years. There are few rules for the wet area, none of which are followed, which along with the safety issues and broken equipment and loose railings create a dangerous, germ filled, and unhealthy environment. The jacuzzi outtake has brown sludge growing in. The tiles in the jacuzzi and pool are covered in filth and slime from people coming out of the saunas to "cool off" without rinsing their sweat off in the shower first. The floating partition dividing the two lanes is similar, and also has black sludge and mold on it. The shower in the wet area was broken for weeks as well. There is literal mold dripping down the ceiling and walls in there they claimed to take care of last September. They seemingly simply wiped the walls and painted over it, as it is growing back at an alarming rate. The pipes are all rusty and some drip onto people in the pool. The city issued them a citation for repair in late August or early September, they still have not done a few of the required repairs. There are a lot of kind caring people that work there, especially Saldi, a former manager, and Jay, the hardworking maintenance person always fixing the broken things management refuses to replace and keeping things running as best as he can. And, there are some great friendly members that make the place more bearable as well. Yet rather than fix their failing infrastructure and equipment, or address member concerns, they get a fancy new bright lightening system that shows how old and filthy everything is, refuse to uphold ADA laws - especially in regard to the disabled lift and the one unusable disabled shower stall, or fix the heating system in the pool that has been malfunctioning on a regular basis since August 2025. Now there is a sign stating they will be getting massage chairs and other useless for most amenities members would have the displeasure of paying $12 a month more for rather than deal with serious health and ADA violations, and aging malfunctioning equipment and facilities.This is the only gym available to me in my neighborhood, most of the disabled people have left because of these issues. I do not have that luxury.
