My granddaughter loves it. She loves everyone there including her hip hop instructor the most. Great place for kids as well as adults!!!!!
super great classes and staff. they really try to build community and all are welcome here, no matter how much dance experience you have.
I appreciate that this studio exists but given the construction going on in the space, they should put more effort into having the studio floor at least swept after each class. There is so much dust everywhere these days and we shouldn't be expected to dance, sit or stretch on the floors with the amount of dust in addition to sweat, hair etc. Really like the studio/classes though! But it needs more attention on this
Best dance studio in Portland! I've been taking Beginning Ballet with Heather Jackson for over a year and couldn't be happier!! She is truly such an amazing teacher who really has a knack for helping her students learn in a way that feels personalized and also so very warm and inviting! The entire studio staff is incredible and has become one of the true joys of my week. I've made great friends through the classes as well! I did not have any dance experience before starting at BodyVox and my time there has really helped me to gain confidence in dance through ballet! I find that dance truly helps with my mental health as it forces me out of mind and into my body and reminds me the power of being in the present moment
Sekou’s West African Dance class was fantastic experience. I highly recommend. I was a drop in, new as a student and it was a total joy. People were welcoming, all levels of experience, the live drumming was a shortcut to get out of my brain and into my body, we didn’t face the mirrors so I wasn’t distracted by judging myself, and Sekou brings an ease and a love into the teaching. I appreciated being taught the roots of the specific dance we were learning. Oh, and a tip for new comers… bring some cash to tip the drummers (you can also Venmo).
