I've been coming to this dance studio in Ktown for almost 3 years and it still is to this day my…read morefavorite dance studio in LA! I love the vibes here. From the aesthetic to the instructors to the students themselves, this place has a welcoming atmosphere to all dance levels and I feel comfortable to explore dancing with all the different styles of dance they offer. Their social media presence is also great! They are constantly updating their social media (Instagram) with up to date info on each week's/day's classes such as the instructor or the song/combo they'll be teaching. The linked website is also relatively easy to use and it's pretty simple to register for classes. I mainly come for the Hip-Hop and Kpop classes they offer and I enjoy them a lot! Coming into the studio, they check you in and have you wait in the comfy waiting area before the class starts. The dance studio itself is pretty roomy and there's long mirrors up front. They also offer other dance studio spots at the property that you can rent out for private rehearsal or 1:1's. For rates it's usually $20-$25 for a 1 hour 30 min class depending on the instructor and what they're teaching. The classes usually take place from 6pm - 10:30pm (3 classes a night) during the week and another 3 classes from afternoon to night on Saturday's. For parking, it's street parking but I'd say it's relatively easy to find a spot nearby. If you're in LA, I'd definitely recommend hitting this place up for a class or 2!

I am a teen ager Mom and I want my daughter to try learn dancing at this place but there are no beginner class, even if they say they have beginner class. and too many people. It seems like they are all experienced dancer or at least they 've been dancing more of times than beginner. My daughter said that was not for beginner and not for learner, it seems like they are just gathering together for dancing. and admission people seems to be not friendly, they are just looking at me strangely.

One of my go-to places for Kpop dance classes in LA!…read more I love coming to Debut Dance District! Debut usually offers Kpop class series at different levels which can range from 2 weeks to a month. They also offer one day pop-up classes occasionally. You would need to reserve your spot at one of the classes online via their website. They also post what classes their teaching on Instagram and I like how they sometimes ask their students what Kpop songs they want to learn on there. Yireh, the owner and one of the instructors is great. I love taking her classes as she's super detailed and funny which makes the class enjoyable. The classes are shorter and pricier compared to other nearby dance studios, but what keeps me coming is the overall culture and vibe of this studio. Everyone is super nice and it's super friendly to all levels. The studio itself is nice and spacious. It is clean and well-maintained. There's also a parking lot downstairs with free and ample parking. There's even charging stations for electric cars.

A diamond in the rough. The studio is huge, gorgeous and clean. The artwork and basketball…read morememorabilia that filled the walls are incredible. We are not from the area. This was our first time there. The staff, including the security, the lady who checked us in and called herself "the lowest person on the totem pole" (I'm so sorry I don't remember your name), teachers/director (especially the director), parents of academy members all were kind and made us feel welcome. Our sons first love is dancing. He is also a very sensitive 9 year old. Loud noises and new situations make him nervous. He melted... The staff couldn't have been better at guiding him through his first audition. We were ready to let him quit and walking out the door when a parent came out and convnced us to stay. Once staff saw what was happending they all were amazing at calming and doing what they could to make him comfortable. They allowed him to sit and watch, which turned into him getting enough confidence to finally stand and perform. Thank you. ** Don't let the low rating fool you. Dig deeper.

Her dance academy is no exception. I called to request a tour and the most gracious lady, Ms Jackie, answered. Although there weren't any tours she recommended me I stop by. I was overjoyed. Although Ms Debbie wasn't on the premises, you could really feel the love and creativity afloat. It's a large well decorated academy with gorgeous art throughout. There were classes in session, so I stayed in the main entry and took photos. Although the cherry on the top would have been catching a glimpse of Ms Debbie, this still was an awesome visit.

I have coming to this studio for couple months now because my teachers are offering group classes…read morethere on sundays. I had never heard of it before but I was very pleased when I found it. It's a little hard to find because it's in the corner of a strip mall on Vermont and the windows are tinted so you can't see inside. I always find parking on the street on Sunday and it's free. Otherwise they have plenty of parking for the strip mall businesses. When you enter, there is a reception desk in the left and also some lockers to put your stuff in it. On the right there is coffee, tea and large water that you can use. Before you even think about stepping to the dance floor with your street shoes, there is a sign right in the floor to remind you to only wear dance shoes on the floor. The floor is always so clean and the entire facility as well. Large one bathroom in the back for everybody and gender. The monthly calendar is mostly all in Korean so I'm not sure if they teach in English. I'm the only non Korean in my Sunday class but the teachers also so the class is taught in English :) I'm glad I stumble in this place through the help of my teachers.

WOW!!! Just when I thought I loved the Pasadena location, this one might actually take the cake…read more The service was great from the moment I walked in; the front desk staff was so sweet and welcoming. I'd had a bad experience at the Pasadena studio with a girl named Megan, so I decided to try a different location, and I'm so glad I did. This studio is waaaay cleaner. The mat towels smelled fresh, everything felt sanitized, and the space was clearly well taken care of. My instructor, Jimmy, delivered an amazing workout, he incorporated moves I've never seen before and actually walked around correcting form, which is rare in larger fitness classes. He was fun, energetic, and really set the tone. Playlist was baddie certified! LOVED him! I also appreciated how well maintained everything was, soaps fully stocked, cozy studio rooms, and an overall vibe that felt intentional and inviting. I think this might be my new go to location. I don't even mind the drive :)

Cleanliness at this specific location could definitely be better maintained. The mat I rented that day was a bit smelly, and the towel was too, which wasn't great.

I'd probably avoid this particular location moving forward though, that's all.
