Really fun place to take dance classes. Bought a package of a bunch of classes at this studio and tried several of the classes and it was a lot of fun. I especially like the chair tease class and the burlesque choreography classes! The instructors are all very good dancers and because they also perform, they also instruct on connecting with your audience and the angle of your movements so all the moves will look good. Parking is really a nightmare in the lot, very few spots and the spots are very narrow, I got a couple of dings in this lot. read more

My husband actually introduced me to GTS via Instagram (he's a big fan). I always wanted to try burlesque but had many excuses why I couldn't (too far, no time, too big, can't dance). I finally said eff that, I'm going. Now I'm obsessed. I've taken four classes with Coco and I'm hooked. Yes it's far, yes I'm busy, yes I'm a big girl and I'm still not a born dancer. But when I'm shaking those hips and and gliding across the room, I come alive. If you are considering trying out GTS, stop. Just do. No more excuses. I'll see you there, I'll be the one doing a hair flip. read more

Not too hard to find but day time parking is difficult and classes at night are all good as long as you don't mind that the stairway entrance is a mason to a dive bar. They have very good toning classes if you can't pick up dance moves fast you should just stick with the toning. I found it on Groupon but this was not a good Groupon for me. You have a month to use their Groupon and their classes aren't very big which is great but you have to sign up for them and a lot are full and don't fit my schedule since there isn't a whole lot of classes teachers great studio. clean small but fun. read more

Glitter tribe is the kind of place that makes your entire week better simply for having been there. Coco, the studio owner, is somehow an ethereal creature while being relatable and down to earth. Excellent experience for anyone looking to get a bit of movement and tap into their own mojo. read more

I always had an infatuation with the art of Burlesque and other body confident dance classes and thank you Groupon for introducing me to GRS! After taking two classes (Jazz Funk and Beginning Burlesque) I feel so in tune with my sensual side as well as having fun. The instructors are very personable that they really break down the moves and empowers the dancers to "feel it!" I usually get awkward when I start dancing at a new studio but I felt at ease really fast here. The other ladies in the class are nice and welcoming. Some have been there for a few months while others are just as new as I am. What I love is that there are all types of women there who are enjoying themselves as much as you are. They are really encouraging throughout the time learning the moves and choreo. The studio itself is intimate and small but hidden away on the second floor in the corner of a small shopping strip. Its nice because there are no windows where people can watch. I think that's what makes the space comfortable because it feels safe from outside passerbyers. I can't wait to try out all the other classes to find which one best suits my style but so far, I like them both! read more

I have been taking classes at Glitter Tribe Studios (GTS) since April. There was a great Groupon deal available, so I decided to try the classes out. After my Groupon ended, I knew I was hooked! Here's what I love about GTS: - Studio: centrally located in SD. Studio is located in a strip mall in Clairemont. The studio is located upstairs next to a massage studio. I love the privacy of the studio...because you get sweaty, strip and not have weirdos peeping in. - Classes: too many to choose from (Body Beats, Buti Yoga, Sexy & Flexy, Bump N Grind, Dirty pop hip hop, Heels, Burlesque, etc). Tons of classes in the evenings and they just started offering day classes as well. You will want to sign up in advance as spots do fill quickly. Classes are reasonable priced...lots of different packages available at different price points - Instructors: Coco, Lola, Jaguar, Missy, Sweet Dee, Skky...professional and each have their own unique style. Fresh new choreo, so you will never be bored. They are all down-to-earth and don't make you feel bad if you have 2 left feet Students: unity in diversity. you will find students from all walks of life at GTS! no matter what your level of experience is...everyone here makes you feel welcome and wanted. it's fun and challenging and one of the main reasons i keep coming back. So, after a few months of taking classes at GTS (3-4 classes a week), I dropped a dress size (going on 2)!! But besides the weight loss, I keep coming back to GTS because this is a safe environment to dance your heart out (even if you can't dance), raise your body confidence, and feel empowered. Thank you GTS for helping me lose the weight and for keeping me on my toes! read more

I took my first class last night with instructor CoCo and OMG she is amazing and the class was lots of fun! I enrolled in the Beginning Burlesque and even tho I was the only newbie everyone was welcoming and encouraging. I really enjoyed the class and Coco makes sure to get the class engaged and cheering for each other. If you are interested in taking a Burlesque class I'd definitely recommend going here! I look forward to my next class! read more

I did a Groupon for 4 classes and I tried out different ones. The instructors are cool and the girls are nice. 3 out of the 5 classes were choreography, which I realize that I not great at, but I got rhythm in freestyle! My last class was the sexy sculpt class and that was a fitness workout where you actually did different moves and it worked different parts of your body. There was only small choreography at the end. It was my fave! If there are more classes like that where it's 10% choreography I'm down. read more

I love Glitter Tribe studios! They have a variety of classes covering what feels like almost every aspect of dance. Let me start first with this; I am not a dancer. I have two left feet and I'm not very coordinated. Sometimes in class I feel a little uncomfortable; but in the best way ever! It's because I'm getting challenged! These girls are professional dancers, but they are also incredible teachers! Despite the fact that I am very new to dancing, the ladies at Glitter Tribe are always able to break things down throughly or find a new way to explain something! In every class I have taken there has always been a strong focus on form and technique. They don't want you to just complete the moves, they want you to do it properly, safely, thoroughly, and most importantly, look hot doing it! This place is so welcoming to all shapes, sizes, colors, ages, you name it! I have never felt judged, and every time I leave it find a new appreciation for what my body can, and how it looks! These ladies don't just walk the walk, they talk the talk leading the way with body positivity and confidence! I love coming to classes here. My only dislike is that I don't have time to go more often! Shout out to Missy, Coco and Sweet Dee for all the awesome classes I've taken! You ladies rock! read more

hooked! I had just turned the big 3-0 when i found them on groupon and was feeling super down about not having any hobbies or interests outside of work and brunch. I wasn't using my mind or body much at all and felt that disconnect. upon going to my first class at GTS, that disconnect was painfully obvious. talk about 2. left. feet. choreography feels a bit like learning another language (for me, others picked it up pretty easily) BUT the instructors really made me feel comfortable and everyone cheers each other on. I remember Coco (owner, I think) saying something to the effect of "you have to be okay with being seen" and my eyes watered! you DO have to be okay with being seen, letting loose, having fun and getting a bit of a work out in some classes. floorwork with Lola has been my favorite class. they call it "stripper church" and it's everything I never knew I needed for my mind, body and spirit!! read more

I've learned more here in the past 6 months then I did in 2 years under previous instruction. You need a safe place to dance? Welcome home. read more

This place is amazing!! Whether you are a dancer or not you will feel welcome and beautiful here! These awesome women make everyone feel welcome and are so encouraging. I started in July and I have no dance background but I am officially addicted to dance and Glitter Tribe Studios. Coco and and all the instructors are incredible dancers and teachers. This is more than a dance studio, this is a place to build confidence and explore movement all while learning to appreciate your body. Glitter Tribe Studios helped me to feel beautiful and sexy! Anyone can learn to dance, all shapes and sizes of women are welcome and encouraged. NO ONE dances without being cheered on and supported. Thank you Coco and Glitter Tribe Studios for changing my view of myself! read more

This place is hands-down the best thing that has happened to me since moving to San Diego 8 months ago. The instructors are the most amazing people, the girls you meet in class are so nice, and you feel so confident leaving their classes. I am super sad to be moving to LA next week, because I'll miss these classes so much! If you're thinking about trying it out, give it one class and you'll fall IN LOVE. read more

For some years I was just existing. I didn't have desire to do anything creative. I was letting my talents go to waste. I suffer from fybromyalgia and was in pain most of the time. I was watching the movie Burlesque and thought it would be fun to dance again. I googled burlesque classes and found the Pixie Stixx Burlesque Dancers. I have been taking classes for 2 years. I saw their dream come true and open Glitter Tribe Studio's. I never expected it to enhance my life the way it has. My fybromyalgia has decreased. My stress level has decreased. I am using the creative part of me and sharing it with others. I am not just existing. I am living life to it's fullest. I am in love with my imperfect self inside and out. If you just want to learn how to love and appreciate your flaws and imperfections run, crawl to Glitter Tribe Studio's and get your life. I did and all my wildest dreams are coming true. read more

An extremely body positive place. I am not a dancer by any means...I'm barely coordinated (or confident) enough to simply bounce back and forth at a club. I received a free dance class from another business and decided to give it a shot. I'm all about free stuff and have recently been actively trying to raise my confidence level, so this seemed like a great opportunity. I was so nervous during my first class, but I had no reason to be. The other girls in class were better at the moves than me, but everyone was understanding and encouraging. No one gave me funny looks when I would miss a step and the instructors don't single me out in front of everyone if I'm not quite keeping up with the moves (I've been to other group classes where this is the case and it's so embarrassing). Another great thing that I love about this studio is that they don't have a minimum amount of people in order to have a class. If you are the only one that shows up, you get a one-on-one with the instructor! How cool is that? If I lived closer and could go more often, I would buy a monthly pass. But since I live a little farther out I am going to have to settle for once a week or so. Their prices aren't horrible and there is a sense of pride knowing that you just did something that was slightly out of your comfort zone. It's so fun that I don't even notice I'm sweating until I'm walking to my car. read more

The instructors here are rude. They don't want to honor their classes. The owner is super rude. She's just a money collector. Has no interest in teaching dance or making students happy or retaining clients. If I could give them zero stars that's what they deserve. read more

When I started going to Glitter Tribe in this June, I was thinking I would just try a burlesque class for a little something new. I did not expect to find the incredible instructors, community of dancers, and range of dance techniques that are available in this humble space. Glitter Tribes Studios is like a second home now. I am constantly developing as a student and not only is my dancing improving, I'm cheered on by staff and students alike. I would highly recommend this space to anyone who loves to dance and doesn't fit the traditional mold of ballerina-since-birth. You will find your groove at Glitter Tribe! read more

My friends and I did a private class for my birthday. It was the best time!!! We danced, we laughed, and we felt sexy!!! I can't wait to go back!!! If you are looking for a different kind of fitness class, I highly recommend you give it a try! Many thanks to Coco for making my birthday celebration an amazing night! read more

This studio is my second home. I started taking classes with a groupon and before I knew it I was signing up for a 12-class per month contract. These classes are fun, but also really helpful. I really feel like I'm getting better, but also have such a great time at class. Lola is an amazing teacher and person, I would definitely recommend her classes. There are also so many different classes to choose from and so many different time slots that works for a super busy schedule. I love this place! read more
