If you are looking for something fun to do, that is also a great workout, and want to hang out with supportive like minded people, then give Groove Zone a try! I just finished my second term yesterday, and I'm looking forward to my third term starting next month.

I've been going to Groove Zone for the last 6 months and have had an incredible experience. Before…read moreI started, I consider myself someone who has no clue how to dance and someone who looks incredible awkward on the dance floor. Yolanda class was a true beginner friendly, unlike a lot of classes in LA, and did a good job of making everyone feel comfortable. Now I'm constantly getting compliments about my dance moves! (Video for proof)

This class would have to be the best class ive been to. The instructor Melissa is soo friendly and…read moreall the other attendees are very supportive. Cant wait for classea to start again!!

I got introduced to Crossover Dance Studios via someone who also goes to Dancekool Studios on…read moreSussex St. Apparently an ex-Dancekool dancer opened this studio an year ago. The instructors also teach at both venues so it all seems interconnected even though they are not associated from a business sense. Despite the obvious comparisons, the atmosphere is different, mainly due to the crowd. There are a lot of kids here. And i mean that literally. Most of the patrons are high school and uni students with no dance background, which reflects the level of the beginners classes and are easy to follow. The intermediate/advanced classes attract a slightly different crowd with a focus more on choreography. Although there is an obvious focus on hip hop, breaking, locking, popping and waacking, there are few classes on other styles such as Jazz, JFH and RnB. Then there are Kpop classes for Korean pop fans and Girls Hip Hop, a concept I still find a bit odd, but hey it still gets a crowd! Another great thing about this studio is that they often have guest teachers from LA and SYTYCD, which you would not normally be able to access as they tend to stay in the underground scene and won't visit mainstream dance studios. I would probably only recommend this place for people who still look like they need to carry around ID's. Unless you intend to do an intermediate/advanced class where you can feel ok about being 25+ lol.

Crossover is another street dance studio located in Chinatown in Sydney. Its located on Goulburn…read morestreet and is pretty hard to find, sandwiched next to a streetwear store Espionage and a Korean restaurant, you'll notice an open doorway a slightly obscured cross over logo and an elevator in the back that you'll need to take to level one. Once in, don't be put off by the large number of teens talking and practising around the sofas cause you're here to dance. The majority of classes here are great, teaching street dance styles with the proper knowledge, understanding and foundation moves needed to give you the proper instruction you'll need to get started or improve your dancing. My favourite classes here are Rod's House class, Poppin Jack's and Keanu's Popping class and Red's Breaking class.

A world-class studio for sure…read more Google Maps and Waze directed me to the wrong location for dance class, spitting me out at The Rocks, but the location for dance class is in Ultimo. Keep that in mind. Luckily, Uber exists and I was there in 15 minutes. Once you get in, check-in at the front desk, pay if you haven't done so yet, and the friendly staff will tell you which studio your class is located in. The studio is clean, well lit, and has restrooms, changing rooms, and showers. SDC offers a wide variety of classes for all ages and they're priced at the standard. Inside each of the individual studios are cubby spaces tacked on the wall for your personal items. Barres are on three of the walls and a huge mirror is on the fourth one. The individual studios are big and the classes were larger than I had expected. But not to worry, there was enough mirror and floor space for everyone. I loved James Deane's adult beginner hip-hop class. James leads you into a warmup then teaches the choreo step-by-step. Though the class is large, he's very open to questions from anyone, but still goes at a good pace. He also emphasizes having fun, so don't be too intimidated if you don't have experience :) And he films classes every week! Next time I'm in Sydney, I want to take classes from him again (and take even more classes). Absolutely love this studio.

Ok here is the truth about SDC Studios. Whenever I mention this place to people it's usually…read morefollowed by a "wow" or an expression of awe. Then they usually look me up and down to see if I look like a dancer. This is the amount of reverence people have of this place due to the name and reputation. So when people come here for the first time they usually have a sense of apprehension and fear of being looked down by the teachers/other dancers for having two left feet that just want to dance :) Yes, I admit in some classes the feeling is justified as some teachers just weren't meant to teach but are amazing dancers in their own right. But they are in the minority and most of the teachers there are both...great instructors with cool personalities and awesome dancers. I've been dancing for a long time and have taken most of the classes at the studios. The choreography is amazing. Biggest tip is to forget about what people think and dance your heart out. Don't worry as most people will be in the same boat as you and will be too busy looking at themselves in the mirror to care :) Which class to take? Just give it a go. Even though there may be repeats of certain dance styles and levels, every instructor will teach it in their particular way and level and you will have to judge for yourself on whether you like it or not. If you are unsure always go for the beginner or absolute beginner class and start from there. So you want to dance? This is a great place to start. I'm usually there all weekend & on random weeknights, and you can find me either in class or at the reception, so come say hello :)

My son was going to Chapel lane dance studio. He was first doing just the preschool class and then…read moremoved to jazz class after that. It's a great place for the tiny tots to get introduced to music and dance. Every December they have concert where children from the studio perform. The pre-schoolers performed on Bananas and Pyjamas. You could imagine the joy of seeing my 4 year old performing on stage for the first time. All the other performances were excellent and I couldn't believe that this was actually being performed by amateurs and not professionals. They also lots of other classes like Tap, Ballet, hip hop, drama singing etc. The teacher Miss Simone is very helpful and pleasant. And I must say she is very patient with all her students. They have a few teachers and are very flexible with their students on what their interests are .unfortunately I had to pull my son out as we were moving but would recommend it to anyone living in the area.
