Great instructors and vibes here! I love coming here--recently started coming 2+ times per week and I can feel myself improving at dancing!! Never trained as a kid or anything, just learning as I go along as an adult. Started with Chelsea's class years ago and now branching out to a bunch of other classes. So fun!! New space is amazing!!!
This studio and the classes it hosts are amazing. As an adult coming back to dance after years away, the setting is ideal. The instructors are encouraging, aware of the levels in the room, and inspiring dancers. I highly recommend Daniel's classes and the workshops!
AMAZING!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Classes of all levels, hip hop primarily and SUCH GREAT CLASSES! I live in Boston and I visit Oakland every year to see my brother and I ALWAYS take a class here cuz this place us amazing! If I could pick this place up and move it to Boston I would!! Go here! Better yet, going here supports a small, local, minority owned business.
I am not a dancer. My relationship with rhythm is fraught. But the instructor was friendly, helpful, had a great energy and made sure everyone felt great at their own level. And the students reflected that attitude of respect and support. The only weird looks I got were from my own reflection as I tried to laugh my way through a hard (for me) routine. Take a beginner course and remember that sucking at something is the first step to becoming kinda good at something. You'll have tons of fun.
