Shawn is a miracle worker! I wanted to do a surprise dance for my bride and approached Shawn with the caveat that myself and the groomsmen had little to no dance ability and even less rhythm! Shawn created an amazing dance routine that looked good and within our skill levels, and really put in the effort to create something memorable. She also pushed us and showed us that we had more ability than we thought! I was very impressed with her music mixing skills as well as she cut up and edited an amazing song for us. Overall, Shawn is fantastic and Afterhours is the place to go if you need any dance lessons!

I took a beginner hip hop class with Mackenzie today and I want to start with the good things. Mackenzie is a great dancer and her choreography was very creative and clever. And now I’ll talk about the reasons why I gave this studio only three stars. I’m a beginner dancer who has done dance workouts but other than that I have no dance experience and I’ve never taken hip hop classes. The class I took today was definitely not a beginner class and Mackenzie even mentioned this class is a bit harder and faster paced than a beginner class. She also mentioned they have been working on the choreography for 3 weeks and I ended up joining the very last class. I have no problem with a class being intermediate or advanced level but my issue is this was called a beginner class in the schedule which is not true and misleading. This class was at least intermediate level. As a student I came to learn but I feel like I didn’t really learn anything since the class was too fast paced and everyone else already knew the choreography. My suggestion is to put in the class information on the website that this is week 1, 2 or 3 of choreography so beginner level dancers can actually learn new choreography from the very beginning, progress, improve and feel like they know what they are doing. This studio is fun and great for intermediate and advance level dancers but after the class today I did not feel like this studio is very beginner friendly.

I love this place. Great classes- I feel like I learn so much from each class I take. The instructors are super friendly and Shawn is great at offering one on one advice during her classes, so it feels like I am getting just as much out of it as a private lesson. This place is just what I was looking for to help advance my skills for college!

Have taken hip-hop classes from Marissa. She is very good at teaching and communicating with her students. She has great energy,vibes and always very down to earth positive. She gives great criticism which makes you want to learn more , and motivates you to dance more . She explains how you can be comfortable in your own skin, so you can express yourself while dancing. Always excited to attend, she gives you great challenges. Would always return when I get a chance. Studio staff is always very friendly and helpful and the owner is very nice.

AfterHours is a great studio focused on adult dance education. Whether you've never danced before, want to pick up a new style, or are trying to maintain your skill, this place caters to all of your needs. Some classes seem to be more focused on technique than others, but I always learn something new when I go. In general, the classes are good practice for picking up choreography. The space is clean and well-taken care of. The staff is friendly, supportive, and passionate about what they do. Highly recommend.
