Not only is Studio 206 close to my home and in an iconic Seattle building (Old Rainier Brewery), the classes are so fun! There are so many talented and engaging instructors to match any flavor of dance you are looking for. Classes are accessible for first time dancers, and also satisfy those who like a little more choreo. The community at Studio 206 is also amazing. So many wonderful people who support each other and have a blast, while getting a great workout. If you have been looking for dance fitness and are just now discovering Studio 206, then be very excited. You're going to love it!

If you hate the treadmill, give this a shot. You will love it!!!!!! On top See you there!

*Purchases her very own zils*…read more I totally underestimated getting an actual workout here. I don't know why. I thought that the fun factor would cancel out feeling the burn, but dayam, this was work. I took the Egyptian-style belly dancing class, the first class in their 5-week series. My glutes. My hammies. Every muscle in my arm. Some muscle in my upper abs that apparently don't get used on a normal basis. They all moved...and I got into it. Our instructor was fantastic, making sure to accommodate those with injuries, explaining the muscles being stretched or used. She was hands-on, too, making adjustments to people's postures. $15 to drop in or $12 per class with the series via cash or check. Street parking. Reasons to buy fun costumes and props imminent.

I currently take Badi (a dance fitness style class) in this location and love the feel and vibe of the entire studio. With ample mirrors and twinkle lights for ambiance, the space feels sacred. Descending down the stairs upon entering by Sur 16, I become mentally and physically far away from the busy Seattle life overhead allowing me dance my troubles away and become lost in the music. The location is also off of 15th street in Capitol Holl, home to many wonderful shops and restaurants, giving you ample options for food with friends or a quick coffee break before or after your class.

The teachers are caring, positive, professionals who know how to motivate and nurture young dancers. My daughter is now almost 17 years old, currently a Jr. in HS, and is considering a career as a dance physical therapist. Also the year end shows are so well done, you feel as if you are watching a professional production. The adult classes are great too. I can not believe what the adult dancers are able to do in the final show. It's as if I am watching a professional show on Broadway. If you are looking for a creative, professional, dance studio with excellent instruction for all ages and all levels, then check out this studio! PS eXit space is growing so much that they just opened a new additional space a few blocks south of the main eXit Space studios in Greenlake called the Nest. Check it out as well.

"I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white…read moremoderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection. I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that the present tension in the South is a necessary phase of the transition from an obnoxious negative peace, in which the Negro passively accepted his unjust plight, to a substantive and positive peace, in which all men will respect the dignity and worth of human personality. Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured." Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from Birmingham Jail 1963

Come dance the night away with us! What a cool place to learn a little bit of Salsa and dance till…read morethe AM's. I've only been here on Saturdays for their Social Dance. It's always a good time. They teach a little 1 hour lesson from 8:30 to 9:30 and then open up the dance floor until 2 AM. You can learn some basic steps to get your started but don't expect to know Salsa after one mini lesson. :) As a follow, it was enough to just have a good time that night. The later you come, the more veteran and experienced dancers you'll meet. Many beginners come dance for the first hour or so and then leave. On Saturdays, the Bachata room is also open down the hall. A much smaller room but that's enough. The entrance fee of $20 gets you into both rooms. (Intro lesson is $5 extra). It's great being able to go back & forth between the rooms. There is a bar that you can buy drinks. You are allowed to bring your own water bottles but you have to leave it up at the front entrance because they don't allow you to bring your own bottles in due to the bar. Sometimes they even have performances from dance groups on Saturday nights. They also have practice sessions on weeknights that you can join and check out. With what little dance experience I've had over the last 2 months, Century definitely feels like "the place to be" if you want to dance the night away. Because of that though, Saturday Socials feels more like a show/a place to show off rather than a place to practice so just be prepared for that kind of atmosphere. Parking can be difficult since it's Cap Hill. Most people park at the parking garage down the street. **I'm not going to fault Century for this but this is something for women to take note of - not all men here are as respectful as you'd want them to be. Watch out for their hands and unwanted advances. Sometimes you really have to set your boundaries clearly because some people will def. take advantage of a friendly dancer.**

The space has great floors, walls of mirrors, and as a visiting dancer I felt welcome.

Salsa leads covered On1 and On2, and it seemed the bachata leads were esp sweet/ generous, certainly patient with yours truly (not my forte). As a woman it felt a very safe environment and I'd love to go back. Super fun, thank you SCT and Seattle dancers!
