I like it so much I drive down from Snohomish on a regular basis to take class. I've been taking tap at VAM from Mark for 5 years now. He is extremely welcoming, and one of the nicest human beings you will meet! As a more advanced adult tap dancer, it can be hard to find a studio that can continue to challenge you. And challenge me Mark does! I am humbled to be able to take class from someone who trained under the masters, and really is a master himself! His historical knowledge of tap dance is priceless and I love hearing his stories. All these years later, Mark will still pull out steps/patterns I've never seen before. No two classes are the same! And most importantly he makes class fun and is extremely skilled at "teaching to the room", making sure everyone present is being challenged at their level. Proof of all of this can be seen in the vast array of adults who come to take tap dance here - all ages and skill levels! In true "drop-in" format as well, which is very conducive to adult schedules (no feeling like you'll be behind because you missed the previous week). Veronica and the rest of the staff are super kind as well. I've always felt welcome walking in the door. Their annual showcases are also very fun to be a part of. If you are unsure, definitely give VAM a try! I'm willing to bet they have a class/level for you.

It allows me to see my son's class and gives my younger one a place to distract himself while I do so. The only thing that I would like to see is jr assistants for the teacher. At this age group there is always at least one child in the class that gets distracted. There was one in particular in my son's class. The teacher had to spend a lot of time calming him down every time, which paused the lesson for everyone else. An assistant would have been perfect to take care of him while the teacher kept on with the class. It is also fantastic that they have a music school right next door (same owners).

You leave feeling accomplished after a thorough workout while dancing to great songs. I wasn't sure what to expect when I came here. It was a bit confusing trying to find the studio. When you enter from street level, you have to go downstairs towards the Underground Dance Studio. You can either dance barefoot or with shoes (wish they could make a rule about which one because my feet always get dirty). The class starts off with some warm up dances and then moves through different types of styles of dancing with each song change. You get to express yourself however you want to. You don't have to do every single move the same way and they encourage movement around the floor. Thankfully there are a bunch of fans around the room because by the 3rd song I'm always sweating. There are no official breaks so step off the dance floor and get water as necessary. Class ends with some stretching and warm cloths with some sort of essential oil. I can't wait til the next class!

I came across this place when I bought one of the 8-class package from one of those deal sites…read more(don't remember if it was AmazonLocal, Groupon or some other sites). I figured I would just try this place out since it was quite close to my home and it had good reviews. I was pleasantly surprised at how cheerful and upbeat all the instructors are (I tried Zumba/Hiphop and More than Dance classes and probably have been in classes with 5 different instructors (depending on the day/time you choose to go). What I can say is that all the instructors are have their own styles but are definitely wonderful and will keep you happily dancing. What I particularly like about this place is the christmas lighting and the setting that makes you not feel so self-conscious about what you are doing wrong or how terrible of a dancer you may think you are. I admit that I'm not a naturally good dancer and I have a good time everytime I go there. There are, of course, some people there who can dance like rock stars and look really cool when they dance. However, the instructors there are very encouraging and provide guidance what you can do as a beginner, intermediate or advanced dancers, so you can really just do things at your own level and not care so much about others. It definitely feels liberating to just be able to dance your own style, at your own pace/level, and nobody is judging you on how you look or how weird you dance :). After the package ran out, I ended up signing up for more classes and still go there whenever I find some free time.

Great place to learn and make new fun friends! I'm particularly grateful for my experience over the past year on Alice & Ankur's sensual bachata social dancing training team. It helps so much to combine excellent instruction with consistent partners that you build trust and friendships with. For partner dancing, honest feedback and collaborative troubleshooting are essential. The team camaraderie is awesome, and there is lots of enthusiasm for optional activities outside of class, including weekend practices, potlucks/parties, and "field trips" to other cities. I've also loved my sensual bachata classes with Margarita and Johnny, and Alexa and Cathan! The studio regularly brings top teachers from around the world. For example, this weekend Korke & Judith, the creators of the Bachata Sensual style, came from Spain to teach. And I'm looking forward to Alonso & Noelia (2x Spain national champs) coming to teach in 2 weeks!

I went here for my first dance lesson outside of college (because of covid, this was over a year…read moreago!) for the Hip Hop I/II lesson that took place around lunchtime of Sunday. Although the instructor was a substitute, I felt the quality of the lesson was not diminished at all. Pace of the lesson is beginner friendly, and even though it took me the first half of the hour to adjust and remember the vibe of dancing, I was still able to pick up the fundamentals and feel confident in myself dancing a few 8 counts at the end without hesitation. I had a great time, even with the fact that the class was really small (about 6 people), as it normally feels a bit intimidating for me to dance in small groups, at least for now. The only issue for me is the commute as I don't have a car to commute from downtown Seattle, but whenever my friend with a car wants to do more dance lessons, this will certainly be the first place I will think of! Besides, this is one of my coworkers go-to dance studio in the past before he moved closer to the city, and he has mentioned that before covid, some lessons are so popular you have to pay in advance to secure a spot!

Wonderful place to workout…read more Dozens of people have messaged me and asked more specifics relating to my other review. Here are some details: Classes can be very very full so plan to dance close to other people. As of March 2022 masks are no longer required and most everyone attending (adult classes) do not wear them. Music is lively and fun but also super loud so bring your ear plugs if your hearing is sensitive. If you register for a class don't miss the class or cancel the class no closer than 8 hours before the class (I believe) or you will be charged a $15.00 fee. Many many people want to get into class so cancel early. SDF has mostly dance fitness classes offered in the evening and a few other class options (turbo kick etc offered in the morning) as part of the $125.00 monthly membership fee. In addition there are some other special classes (Twerk and monthly dance parties etc) offered at about $25 per class but see the website for further details. I do not believe SDF is part of "class pass" etc. No showers or lockers but there is a bathroom and a bunch of cubbies. The dance floor is cushioned which is great for the KNEES. Super tall ceilings and the gigantic garage door stays open which allows for great air movement. Parking is often tough so you might have to park off site at the park or near the Costco and walk over to the studio. Uplifting community and a great place to land if you love to dance for fitness but aren't looking for super complicated choreography Yes, ALL are welcome here!!!
