By no means am I a dancer. I took a beginner's dance class in high school (over 5 years ago) and it…read morewas more like gym class, where as long as you show up you automatically get a good grade. I went to one of the classes in September of 2016 and I'm not going to lie, I got really lazy and haven't gone back until recently. I honestly think that whether you are a college student, a parent, someone who has danced when they were a kid or never danced before, the classes are always fun to go to. It's fun to go with friends, but I go and I don't know anyone and I don't feel like I'm alone. I am a horrible dancer, and half the time, I'm on the opposite leg, wrong beat or I look completely lost and I never have felt embarrassed. Even one of the classes, it felt like everyone knew the choreography, except me, but I just smiled and danced a beat behind and no one seemed to mind! :) I attempted to do a split (I cannot do it to save my life) but the instructor (Arica) just gave me a thumbs up and smile, which is a great feeling knowing I'm not being judged negatively or feeling pressure to do it correctly right away. Below are the reviews of the classes I've taken so far. Hip Hop for Beginners (Madison) - So, I THOUGHT about taking intermediate. I've grown up listening to hip hop, so I was thinking, "I can probably do the intermediate moves" but in Sept 2016 the intermediate class just didn't fit in my schedule so I took the beginner's class. I originally thought I wouldn't get a great workout, because the moves may be some small or not as intense as I would of thought the intermediate class would be. I was wrong! I felt my body sore the next day. Madison, is not only a wonderful instructor, she was energetic and time just flew by. I like that the choreography had hard moves, smooth moves, and just a variety of styles. I took her class for a few weeks, even bought the 6 class card (which never expire). I had a great time and really liked it! Madison teaches a different class where the dancers wear heels and it looks like so much fun, I do plan to attend a class soon. A few of the hip hop for beginner classes that I took, Madison wasn't the instructor. So I got to work with different instructors, which honestly was great! The dances were all different, and fun. They also talked about the classes they taught, and showed some of their moves which I was in absolute "awe" in. There was an instructor that specializes in robotics, he was awesome and the dance was a lot of fun too. Hip Hop Zumba (Arica) - I've gone twice now, and it's so much fun! She talks to everyone as if she's really good friends with them and it's a nice, welcoming environment. She really knows how to make us sweat though! It's overall a lot of fun! There are people of all different backgrounds, ages and sizes that go, which I love! There are people that seem to have friends in the class, and some that are like me and don't know everyone, but no one seems to be judging anyone. I haven't felt embarrassed not knowing the choreography right away. I've jumped up when everyone was going down, and I just laughed because it's a fun environment. She's an awesome instructor, and she promotes what else is going on at the dance company. Deep stretch (Raii) -- Definitely love taking this class! It's at 8p on Wednesdays (after the Hip Hop Zumba) and it feels great to just stretch after a good workout and before bed. Raii is so calming, and he's not pushing anyone to do anything that may hurt. He's said a few times, "as long as you feel the stretch, you're doing a great job". I just thought to myself "how positive is that!". I really felt a great stretch on my big muscles, and on my little muscles. It was relaxing but great! There weren't a ton of people at this class when I went, so it felt more close knit the class. I was surprised though, because he's awesome and the class is a great stretch class! Overall, I recommend this place to anyone! It's a great workout, and so different from the mundane gym / treadmill / weights routine. All the classes I took were the adult classes, and I liked the 6 classes package purchase. There's also other packages which all of them are reasonably priced. I think this place is great for literally anyone. There's no judgement, they welcome everyone and the people that do attend all have a good time, I do for sure. The one and only thing I wish they would do, is make a dance to Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" because I love Ed!

Came before and returned forthe self defense class. Raii was great, I feel like I learned enough…read moreto be essential, but not so much that it was overwhelming. The class was just me and the owner, so we both got individual attention at our respective levels, and a good amount of cardio. My arms were burnt out at the end of class, and I learned a kick too. They also have capoiera and I'm excited to try that too. I'm just glad that since this was a dance studio, i didn't walk into am expert class, and both of my classes here have been manageable for non dancers.

I'm disappointed this is the only place that offers swing dancing in the city.

Each month they offer a four week class (usually a beginner's A and beginner's B) that is designed to teach basic swing dance skills. You don't have to have a partner to join the class since the class rotates partners - which is awesome if you haven't found anyone you can talk into taking a dance class with you. :) It's an open, laid back atmosphere where I feel like I can ask for help. There are lots of smiles and I leave class in a good mood. It's a great group to learn with!

Many of the favorite dancers are teen competitive ones & those dancers are highlighted by this studio repeatedly on social media & in photos, for example. Also, the number of students of color are minimal. However, we gave this studio 4 stars as a result of customer service, dance skills, numerous types of dance lessons & organization.

I have attended multiple times over the last three years as a drop-in and I feel like the teachers and the classes meet my needs and level that I am at. The instructors are friendly and you'll find the classes to be very diverse which creates a safe and inclusive environment. Taken both technical and choreo classes which were fun and QUITE THE WORKOUT. If you're in town visiting or wanting to train in a different format, I HIGHLY recommend it. Operations: 5/5 I can tell it's a professional establishment with skilled teacher and stellar programming. One can sign up for single / drop-in classes or train with a series of programmed classes to develop and learn skills. Each class on the website has a detailed description with a level number so one can properly sign up based on their level. The space has two studio rooms with yoga mats, blocks, sanitation materials, and more. Parking: 5/5 Plenty of street parking and nearby lots. I hauled from Los Angeles so it's so nice to find parking as easily as I did.
