I took a beginner hip hop class with Tashi and had such a great experience. The music was engaging and the combination we learned was fun. I was really nervous to come to a class for the first time but Tashi and the regulars created an inviting and easygoing environment. I definitely struggled but that's SO NORMAL (like, it would be hella dumb to expect to be instantly good at a discipline that people train YEARS in) & I think the hardest part was getting out of my head and doing my best to just go with it. If you're looking for a place to try dance as an adult beginner I can highly recommend this studio and this class!
I can’t tell you how grateful I am that this studio exists! I’ve always wanted to take dance lessons but am just getting to it for the first time at age 35. All the teachers have been incredibly welcoming, fun, and supportive. And the students are equally kind! They’ve created a really special, joyful, and playful community here. I love the wide variety of styles and beginner classes available, and there are plenty of intermediate/advanced classes to grow into as I progress. If you’re feeling the call to dance but are shy about starting late in life — come try it! Whoever you are, you will be welcomed here with open arms.
I love this dance studio so much!! I am a monthly member and spend at least 2-3 hours a day here learning dance. There are plenty of classes for beginners, intermediate, and advanced dancers. Shoutout to Tashi, taylor with heels, Anna and Diamond with Drenched!! The classes are such a blast and are great workouts 🤍
Whenever I travel, I like to pop in on a dance class. Hadasa was teaching a contemporary class and it was a blast! Great play list and very creative floor work! Great warm up and a lot of variations through the class. I highly recommend enjoying a class here! Not to mention a great staff member greeted me at the door and showed me around!
Rae Studio is one of my favorite places to be! The staff are incredibly friendly and always bring such positive energy, they truly make everyone feel welcome. The break rooms are cozy and perfect for relaxing before or after class, and delicious fruit infused water. One of the best parts? My dog Gizmo absolutely loves it here! He gets so excited to visit, hang out, and take photos with his favorite people at the studio, also Tashi who is not in the photos. I bring him to work so it is very convenient that he comes with me after work. It’s such a warm, creative, and pet friendly environment, I can’t recommend it enough!
