I’ve attempted multiple times to get in touch with the studio to get more information on a class pack. I’ve left multiple VMs and sent a message through their website but have not heard back If someone at BDS reads this, can you please get in touch?

First time going there, the person at the front desk was so rude. I didn’t get a confirmation email for the class and I didn’t know my vagara login, she made a big deal about it and said it was going to take 5-10 mins for her to look up my name and check me in, it ended up being barely 2 minutes. I think she just didn’t want to check me in. The hip hop beginner class was filled, people were bumping into each other. idk how there was still 18 slots open for the class when I signed up that same day of the class. Overall terrible experience and I really wanted to like this place.

If you’re looking for a place to dance and train in different styles this is the place! You can dance from hip hop, to heels, to contemporary, nba pro style and more! Every single instructor is there to support your growth. I personally have felt like I found my home studio! There’s not one class I do not like! They also put sooo much effort in the space, it’s gorgeous and it’s SUCH a vibe! I highly recommend going here!

BDS is a wonderful studio! There is a huge variety of classes from heels to hip hop, contemporary, dance hall, NBA pro style, and jazz! There are also lots of opportunities to train with guest instructors from all over the world. The staff are SO amazing. These are formally and professionally trained dancers who have studied dance and danced for pop stars, NBA teams, in movies, in music videos, and at worldwide performances like Coachella and the superbowl! You WILL NOT find as many professional instructors at any other studio around!!!!

I am so happy boston dancers like myself now has a home studio to practice at. Pandemic has hit a lot of studios hard and I am so glad that Boston Dance Studios was able to open up this year! 🙏🏻 they work hard to bring in the best dance training as well as invite out of state teachers to come teach! I went to Axel’s hip hop class, which was a blast and high heels classes from Dan Lai and Sabina that came from NYC! If you are looking to train in hip hop, contemporary, high heels, dancehall - BDS has it all. Thank you for all the work you do and wish you a best of luck.
