    A performance with my teacher
    Gretchen P.

    Marcos & Ruta are excellent teachers and dancers! It is not often you find someone who can teach just as well as they can dance. They are fun, and have just the right amount of "push" at the same time as compassion and patience. They are always looking for ways to improve, and motivate their students. Their creativity is unsurpassed, and they teach from the very simple basic steps, all the way to performance style, for every level! I feel like my lessons provide me with exercise, laughter, and the right amount of hard work to continue to progress in my dancing. And for beginners, I have sent my boyfriend to them, and have never witnessed anyone learning so fast. They have a method that works for anyone. I have been going to them for many years, and I still feel like they are my lifeline in dance, I am so grateful for teachers and people in my life like Marcos & Ruta!

    The tango dance at our wedding!! Everyone was wowed by it
    Sam H.

    My busband and I had 10 lessons with Ruta in preparation for our surprise tango dance at our wedding 2 weeks ago. We found them on Yelp and decided to try out since there was very high yelp ratings. We absolutely had a blast!! Ruta and Marcos were very professional and patient and cared for us like friends! Ruta taught us mostly and she was very detailed and patient throughout the whole process. I have had some dance background so moves were not too hard for me but my husband had 0 experience before so he found it very hard at the beginning. Ruta was able to work through our differences and help us with frustrations at times. She listened to our requests for choreography and made a huge effort to fit everything during our short time of practicing. I could also see that both Ruta and Marcos are very passionate at Tango which is so important when comes to teaching us. We were able to perform a 1:30 dance at our wedding reception both in Australia and China and everyone was so wowed by it. Ruta is superb and we highly recommend anyone who wants to learn Tango. We wouldn't have gone anywhere else!! Thank you so much to both Ruta and Marcos for this unforgettable experience!!

    Marcos my teacher ;-)

    I have been taking lesson with Marcos for the passed year, I can say with confidence that besides learning a whole bunch, the lessons are a lot of fun ... He is very patient and breaks down the technique very well, also I take lesson with Ruta, his wife, she is a sweetheart with a gorgeous figure that makes you feel really good about your progress and also an excellent teacher they make the perfect combination for learning style and techniques in Argentine tango ... I'm very happy with Marcos and Ruta the are the right choice for me !

    Love this studio! Been going for about a year ish now. I used to go to studios on Melrose & Ventura…read moreexclusively but wanted something closer to the west side and this has been the perfect spot! Truly one of the most welcoming studios I've ever been to as well - it's the fastest I've made new dance friends at a studio before and the staff is so nice. They film the end of every class which is great, and sometimes they'll even bring in professional videographers for certain classes or pop ups. I typically go to Jingle's jazz funk and heels classes but have branched out recently to Kpop and other instructors and have always had a good experience.

I signed up online via a link from their Instagram and the website was pretty user friendly and I was able to get registered for the class I wanted. No sweat. Looking for parking can be tough as it's street parking only, so I came a bit early to ensure I was able to get a spot. Walking in, the interior was pretty cozy and it was smaller compared to other studios I've been to in LA, but not a bad thing at all! The person working the front greeted me and I told her it was my first time so she gave me a rundown of how the studio works. I appreciate the great customer service! They have a full front mirror, cubbies to store your belongings, a clean bathroom, and an ipad up front to sign in. The class was comfortable since there were people of different dance levels so it's not intimidating. I also liked that it wasn't crowded. The classes usually last for 1 hour and 30 min. I would definitely take a class here again in the future.

I…read morealways wanted to pick up dance again as an adult, but I was having a hard time finding a class I could keep up with as someone who hadn't been dancing for a long time. A little over a year ago, I saw that WLAD offers adult tap classes (a rare find!), I thought I'd give it a go, and I'm so grateful for the community I've found here! While WLAD is traditionally a studio for kids, I love that they offer tap, jazz, hip-hop, and ballet exclusively for adults, and in a completely non-judgmental environment (Heavy on the non-judgmental - EVERYONE is welcome, even if you're a total novice!). If you're even considering trying it out, I highly encourage you to come tap with us. I've been coming to Kistina's weekly class for over a year now, and I'm so happy to have dance back in my life!

It is so lovely that the little ones get to be part of the show and feel that they are part of a family of dancers. The studios owner, Ms. Mariah, really cultivates this feeling of belonging. I love the adult tap with Ms. Kistina! I started last year as a complete novice and look forward to my time there every week! Can't wait to try out some more classes, once the craziness of the holidays is past us.

With no prior dance experience, I found the environment supportive for individuals of all skill levels. I've completed three beginner series and felt my confidence and skills improve. I highly recommend taking the series more than once since the instructors try really hard to make each series different. There is so much to learn, so repetition is key! I also like that you get to dance with the instructors and get feedback, I don't believe other dance studios do this so this a huge plus. My instructors were David/Michelle and John/Sofia. AMAZING instructors, 10/10. Both partners are highly knowledgeable and explain technique in easy ways to understand. I enjoy the demo at the end of the class. Some great inspiration!! I look forward to my continued journey at Dancer!

    I came here to participate in Elina's Elina's intuitive painting experience…read more It was truly magical! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at ease. She created an intimate, calming atmosphere that began with a guided meditation, setting the perfect tone for the evening. The small class size made it personal and comfortable, allowing everyone to dive right into the creative process without pressure or judgment. Elina's warm, kind energy as a host made the experience exceptional. Surrounded by blankets and pillows, we could disconnect from the outside world and fully immerse ourselves in painting, which felt like a therapeutic journey. The soft music and Elina's gentle guidance added to the ambiance, making it easy to express ourselves freely. At the end of the night, I took home my artwork and a beautiful bracelet she gifted us, making the experience even more special. I highly recommend this to anyone seeking a creative and soulful way to unwind and connect with their inner child!

So just a heads up if you're in the hospital dead they will keep your money and don't care.

Ms. Emily has the biggest heart and is a complete natural at interacting with children so young. At the beginning of the session, when my daughter had just turned 2, she had a lot of trouble focusing on her teacher and following instructions - which I learned is completely okay. Over time, her ability to focus improved and she would look forward to her ballet and tap class every weekend. Her favorite part was when Ms. Emily would give a sticker or glitter at the end of class. I loved watching how happy she was in class and how much she talked about it afterwards. Sadly, due to the COVID situation, the studio has been closed for the last two months and our routine has been disrupted. We're really hopeful that the situation improves in Los Angeles and we can find a way to have the class back in a safe way. We can't wait to be back! P.S. Funny story.. I was SO excited to put my (then) 2 year old in a mommy & me ballet class that I read the class instructions very carefully... the dress code was fairly specific (a certain color leotard, tights, ballet slippers etc). So I thought the moms were supposed to dress up just like their daughters. First class ever, I showed up in full leotard and tights to dance with my girl! After that, I realized the moms come in regular clothes so I was careful to dress appropriately from then on. Just a tip for other moms enrolling in the mommy & me class!
