I understand he's trying to be cautious but unnecessarily rude. The instructor I'm taking a clsss with is cool. The studio itself is ok - could be a newer and use some remodeling but here the job done. There is no AC so during dance it does get quite hot and musty... There is parking in the back but very unclear of where.

But they will bring you to where you can call yourself a dancer, and it will be true. Everyone is evolving there. The students, the teachers, the DJ's everyone. It's high level instruction from talented and experienced maestros. And the community supports each other. They have their protocol and it's cutting edge, and that's all I will say.

I was told by Dave that a stranger observing the class would be weird, I could join the first class but could not observe.

The freshman classes are still more advanced for those who have only taken less than 5 (or no) previous pole classes, but as long as you let the instructor know, they can give you some basic skills to learn. They use mindbody and making reservations online is easy. Free parking lot available. There's 13 poles that do spin. You must bring your own mat. Cubbies are available. I especially enjoyed Candy Cane's freshman pole class, as she pushed us to do our best and taught a fun little routine that we performed at the end of class. Heels are optional. Don't wear lotion to class.

They explain everything in detail and give attention to every student. They're always ready to help and guide you if something doesn't work out.

They are always clean, cozy, well-ventilated, equipped with air conditioning, and have large mirrors, which is very important for dance practice. The receptionist is also very pleasant, positive, and friendly. I was absolutely delighted with my experience at this studio and would happily recommend it to my friends who love dancing.

It was limited but open and easy due to the small class. In a much larger class that may not be the case. I didn't get to see what the restroom or locker room if they had one looked like but the instructor and class was awesome! It was moderate to intense cardio as well as total body with stretching added in at the end. It ended a few mins early and started a few mins late but you get your work and sweat in for sure. I recommend this class and I will be returning. I would also like to try out their aerial yoga.

Ruts Dance Studio recently moved into a new location and the new space is honestly super awesome…read more They now have two studio rooms right next to each other which makes the whole place feel even bigger and more professional. The environment here is just really welcoming overall. The staff, instructors, and owners are all incredibly friendly and supportive. I recently joined their dance training team and I've genuinely been learning so much while also having an amazing time. The training pushes you to improve but still keeps things fun and motivating. One really cool thing about Ruts is that K-pop idols and industry dancers occasionally stop by the studio, which says a lot about how respected and well-known the studio is in the community. Also, if you've never taken a dance class before, don't be intimidated at all. The studio is definitely beginner friendly and the instructors do a great job creating an encouraging atmosphere for all levels. Whether you're trying to seriously improve or just dance for fun, this is a great place to be.

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!

These classes at Inka also focus on good basics and gives students styling for both men and women. The teacher seems very relaxed and enjoys what he does which keeps everything relaxed. One thing that these classes offer that the previous didn't is that after class there is a DJ and an open dance floor with lighting so you can practice what you learned in class. And also because dancing is fun. I only go on Sunday evenings so that is all I have witnessed but it is the same teacher, Jorge Purizaca, for the whole weekend. I really like that there is a mix of ages here and most everyone is really nice and just there to enjoy themselves.

My daughter was so excited to join this dance program after her dance teacher at school recommended…read moreit. I wanted to support her, but I was skeptical from the beginning. I've lived in Los Angeles my entire life and had never heard of this studio. The cost was also very high for the location. I was told the total program cost would be $1,500. I wasn't comfortable paying the full amount upfront, so I decided to make a smaller payment first to see how things went. Looking back, I wish I had trusted my instincts. During the first week, my daughter told me they were served sloppy joe meat without bread for lunch. That immediately confused me since Food 4 Less is literally next door. I expected children to be provided with complete meals. I asked about the weekly menu so I could pack my daughter lunch if she didn't like what was being served. Instead of answering my question, I was told she doesn't cook the meals, someone else does, and that they "cook what's on their heart." I found that response dismissive and it didn't address my concern about what my child was eating. I also noticed my daughter kept coming home with a dead phone. When I asked her why, she said the girls spent a lot of the day playing and being on their phones. I was also told pickup would be between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. When I arrived at 4:30 one day, I received a long text saying I needed to start picking my daughter up by 3:30 because the instructor had other things to do after class. Since I work and couldn't leave that early, I had to arrange for my mom to pick her up. Even then, my mom would arrive at 3:30 and end up waiting outside for nearly an hour because practice didn't actually begin until parents arrived. It made no sense. Later, I was informed at the last minute that Saturday practices would now be required because the group was "unique" and needed extra rehearsal. That was frustrating because my daughter had already told me they spent a lot of the day playing instead of practicing. As someone who danced for over 15 years and whose daughter has been dancing for more than four years, I believe a dance instructor should be able to assess the students' skill levels early in the program and plan accordingly instead of adding mandatory practices with little notice. Whenever I asked what the girls actually did throughout the day, I never received a direct answer. Instead, I was sent a Google definition explaining the difference between a musical and a recital, which had nothing to do with the question I asked. I simply wanted to know the daily schedule and how my child was spending her time. Communication was another major issue. There were several occasions when the instructor didn't show up to the gym without notifying parents. The only reason I knew what was happening most days was because my daughter would tell me. The program also advertised two field trips. In reality, those "field trips" were simply walks to the local park and splash pad. That was disappointing because it wasn't what I expected when the program was being promoted. When I finally expressed my concerns about the communication, scheduling, and how the business was being run, I was told I was being disrespectful and that my tone was disrespectful. Every conversation took place through text messages, so I don't think it's fair to assume my tone. I was simply asking questions about my child and the money I was paying. Shortly after raising those concerns, my daughter was removed from the program. This was advertised as a professional and trustworthy dance studio. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. As a parent, I believe it's reasonable to ask questions about how my child is being cared for, what she's doing throughout the day, and how my money is being spent. Instead of receiving transparency, I felt dismissed. Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend this program to other parents.
