I was told the contract process would take time and was asked to wait until February. In March, I finally received available dates and selected one. I was informed in early March that they would follow up with me soon with a contract and then radio silence Nothing!!!! Never got a contract, nothing. I looked for another space and found something with very professional poeple who responded within hours, and contracts were done in a few days- that's how you do business, not at MMAC. Despite following up by email several times, I did not receive a response. By early April, I had given up and missed the opportunity to book the space for May. Based on this experience, I recommend considering other venues, as they do not appear interested in working with potential clients.

Beautiful space, terrible management and teachers/manager for the kids program were completely…read moredisengaged. They clearly don't take the young people's program seriously. The management team is hard to reach and barely responds, one of the managers for programming actually flat out lies, and the teacher does not have the right engagement/interest/knowledge to how to teach young kids. Almost every class we attended started 5-10 minute late and ended early (and they blamed needing to wait for all kids to line up to go to the classroom.... Pretty dumb excuse to delay a start. I think it's because the teacher doesn't have the right strategy to teach. Put on a tutu with other kids, throw on some nursery music, build an obstacle and apparently that can be called a 'dance' class.

I love taking classes with the teachers from the Djoniba Dance Centre located within Peridance!…read moreThey offer adult open classes in West African dance, Samba, Haitian, Cuban, etc. for regular people. The studio is spacious, the changing room and showers are clean, and the front desk staff are always friendly and helpful. You register for classes through the MindBody app and have the option of taking an in person class or joining online. Located on the first floor is a kiosk that sells beverages and snacks with a small sitting area so you can grab something and relax. It's a great place to come and get your dance fix. Whether you're into ballet, jazz, hip hop, or voguing check out the daily schedule on their website. There's something for everyone here! See you on the dance floor!

The front desk staff weren't very welcoming either. I arrived early and just had a simple question, but was met with blank stares and a vibe like I was bothering them. The studio itself wasn't ideal for focus or rehearsal. You could hear everything happening in the adjacent studios!! There was no sound insulation whatsoever. so it was hard to stay in the zone during class. Overall, the energy felt off, and I definitely wouldn't book this space for my own classes or come back to rehearse.

Our instructor (Slice) was very accommodating and went at a pace that was comfortable for the whole class. The building was large with multiple floors and studios. Class price was very reasonable, especially for NYC. There's a small merch area and some tables and chairs for lounging. It looked like there were some other out of towners there too so I'd definitely recommend it for anyone visiting or not.

I came here recently to take a Burlesque Jazz dance class taught by Tony Guerrero. My friend brought me here with her, I probably never would think to come here if it weren't for her. My friend had been coming to this studio for years. I'll get the bad out of the way first. I am a bit of a germaphobe so having to touch the same floor that probably thousands of other feet have sweated on during the floor parts of the warm up routine, I was like NOoooOOOooOOOooOO inside anyway lol I still did it. I know it won't kill me but still I was like ew lol The pricing is pretty reasonable, it was $29 for an hour and a half long class. There's a hefty warm up routine that Tony leads you through before getting into the actual choreography. It's been two days since I took that class, and somehow I'm more sore today than yesterday LOL it had been a while since I last exercised to be fair. But this is a good thing though, you're basically getting a work out class and a dance class all in one! It's easy to why Tony does this for a living, he seems to really enjoy what he does. He was so energetic and was making funny jokes the whole time. I would definitely consider myself a beginner beginner, so I was slow to pick up the choreography but it really didn't matter, you just have to be close enough, you don't have to do everything perfectly! It was a lot of fun, I would totally go again with my friend if she invited me again. Also a tip, my friend told me that people don't usually wear sneakers to these things so she told me to either wear heeled dancing shoes or just dance in my socks, so I opted for the latter. I don't think this is really true because I saw other people in the class wear their sneakers so I wish I kept my shoes on haha but it's fine, it fun nonetheless! I would recommend a dance class here with your friends for a fun time. Also this way you have someone to take a video of you doing the choreo later instead of having to ask a stranger

After I was given the opportunity to watch the Paul Taylor Dance Company's stunning performance of…read more the Emmy-winning, "Speaking in Tongues" and a playful dance piece set to the music of Bach at Lincoln Center last month, I decided to take the open modern class at the Paul Taylor School in the Lower East Side. Learning from a retired company member was such a great honor. The adult open modern class is every Thursday night and is $20/class. The class size in this studio school is very small and offers quite a different experience from most other much more crowded dance classes in Manhattan. Expect to be called on by your first name and receive a lot of personal attention and constructive criticism. Also unlike other dance classes, you will have a warm-up and learn a string of short pieces (instead of one long piece of choreography) with each short piece incorporating and concentrating on at least one Paul Taylor signature move. Being able to learn these characteristic moves that I had just watched the company perform on stage was both interesting and rewarding. It seems like these pieces are taught and redone week after week rather than being expanded on which may be preferable for some. The class is also taught with live music, which always makes the dance process much more stimulating. While the room is large and contains many windows, the downside is the lack of mirrors. This may be a personal preference, but I like to be able to watch the instructor, other dancers, and my own body in the mirror to be able to compare and self-correct. Learning the choreography not by watching the instructor's reflection in the mirror, but by copying her mirror image while she faced us, was something that took some time to get used to. Likelihood of another visit: I may go back!
