I went in just needing to do something fun that made me feel good, and I thought "I'll do it once…read moreto say I tried it. I probably can't do anything anyway, I have the upper body strength of a squirrel" and by the end of the first Pole 1 class with Razz, I was signing up for classes twice a week. Small group environment, so it doesn't feel like there's all these eyes on you if you're getting through being self conscious. And everyone else in my classes are so nice and hype each other up! Different age ranges and body types, making it all the more better to show that anyone can do it. What an amazing environment the instructors here provide. I definitely recommend to any one of any exercise level!!

My son has recently become really interested in dance, and one day while we were walking by N Space…read moreDance, he stopped, looked through the window, and asked if we could go inside. As it turned out, a ballroom dance class was starting in just 10 minutes -- and without hesitation, Natasha welcomed him in with warmth and excitement. What could've been a nerve-wracking experience for a new student turned into something truly special. Natasha made him feel completely at ease right away. She treated him like he belonged there, and it was clear she has a natural gift for working with kids. During the class, I watched her create an environment that felt incredibly safe and supportive while still challenging the dancers to push themselves. She struck that perfect balance of structure and encouragement. Every child in the room looked focused, happy, and proud of themselves -- and that's all thanks to the way Natasha leads. We walked into N Space Dance on a whim, but we left feeling like we had found something really special. I can't recommend this studio -- or Natasha -- highly enough. She brings out the best in her students, and I'm so glad my son had the chance to be part of her class.

Natasha is a gem -- warm, intuitive, and so in tune with every dancer in the room. Whether you're figuring out your first salsa steps or working on refining your styling, she and the other guest teachers somehow meet you exactly where you are. And it's not just a dance studio. It's becoming a real hub for our community -- a place to connect, move, laugh, and let loose. I've met so many wonderful people here, and every class feels like a little celebration. Please join me in supporting this community gem!

After starting in recreational classes, both of my daughters chose the competitive path, which has been an incredible journey. Not only have they grown tremendously in their technique, but they have also learned valuable life skills such as teamwork, discipline, commitment, and perseverance. What stands out most is that this studio continues to get better every year. It has been exciting to watch its growth and evolution. The coaches are talented, supportive, and genuinely invested in their dancers. My daughters loved spending their time here, and it became so much more than just a dance studio. They built lifelong friendships, created wonderful memories, and gained coaches who continue to cheer them on both inside and outside the studio. Another thing I appreciate is that there truly is something for everyone. Whether your child is looking for recreational classes or wants to pursue dance at a highly competitive level, there are opportunities to fit their goals and interests. This studio has always prioritized quality over quantity, and that commitment shows. We are incredibly grateful for the years, experiences, and relationships that have come from being part of this dance family.

But taking lessons with a professional and patient instructor like Leo who also makes my lessons fun and entertaining has given me the confidence to actually compete in ballroom dance competitions and perform in dance showcases. I will miss my "happy place" when I move out of the area in a few weeks. I HIGHLY recommend Pacific Grove Dance studio. Dancing is fun!!!

I don't know what's been happening to me lately…read more When I have quiet time for myself, I find myself reviewing Argentine Tango moves and steps in my mind. While at the gym pumping iron, I find myself walking tango steps between sets trying to master the moves. I don't even care what the guys think anymore. I've been thinking of traveling to Buenos Aires to spend late night evenings out at milongas doing tango till the sun comes up... I'm even thinking of buying some colorful tango sneakers from Buenos Aires through the internet. Ok, they're purple and lavender...I'm comfortable enough with my manhood to admit it...! Oh Man, I've got the tango bug. I can't believe it...whatsup with me...? What is it about the dance that makes you want more? I don't know. But, when you are dancing with a woman in closed embrace and you feel her close to you, cheek-to-cheek, and you are moving in unison to the music the world slips away. All you feel is the movement of two bodies as one swaying though the dance floor oblivious to the world around you. There is no world: only the music and the movement and the embrace of your partner. You move forward to start a crusada and feel the floor glide beneath you, you come to the cross and hesitate, and release to forward or backwards ochos, and then close-out with closed tango...and then you walk, walk, walk..... In closed embrace you cannot see your partner's eyes, but you feel the wisps of her hair grazing your face; your legs, your pelvis, your chest, your face are all fused together with your partner's body. Nothing needs to be said, tango is a dance of close connection, of feeling, of passion, of intimacy... Shall We Dance in Pacific Grove offers tango classes on Wednesday nights. They are about $10.00 a class. And, yes, they are worth it...!

The only negative is the loud music - so bring earplugs or AirPods if you don't enjoy ruining your hearing while shaping up your body.
