Such an awesome dance studio! I just took a hip hop class with Elwin. He is kind, energetic and…read moreprovides great feedback. I love how he has an intermediate slot this summer.

They offer free de-caf free at the front and plenty of room to sit and wait for your class. There's such a wide range of selection for types of dances that there is one for everyone. You can choose what level you want and the ones I went to were all intro/open so they were beginner-friendly. Every instructor has been very nice. It's a judgement free zone and a great way to have fun!

I've always wanted to try hip hop dance and this opportunity came until this friend suggested me to…read morejoin him last Sunday. My friend J went quarter before 3 and I showed up little late when the dance session started. I wish there was a clear instruction before walking in. I was confused whether to take shoes off to change to indoor shoes or go into studios without my shoes and turns out I had to change to indoor shoes after arrival. Next step was filling out application form and if there was any medical history. I was ready for the session once it was finished. There was so much energy and the 90's hip hop was so perfect for this. Everyone wasn't first timers except for me and J. My instructor showed steps from slow speed and then the pace became quicker. It was little difficult to follow the steps and which direction to swing or to bend my legs. I nearly fell for the first 30 minutes , and then fell on the floor because of my poor balance. My only way to catch up is to observe my instructor or other people to improve dance steps. It was a fantastic work out for sure. Because there was only 1 fan, I felt very sweaty and humid in the dance studio. I only paid $10 for the first lesson and it was so worth it. Staff were nice and friendly. **Note: bring your old runners for the dance. Make sure they're clean pair. They have small change rooms so you can change into loose clothes. Water bottle is a must to bring. They even have a water station next to reception desk. I found myself overwhelmed that some moves were more of advanced level. Everyone else moved so fast I couldn't follow their speed. I found myself with a small bruise the next day.

I was 11 min late due to traffic but they still kindly let me in (their policy was 10 min window). Confirmed they were the biggest pole studio in the Vancouver area. I chose to come to the Richmond location as there was a parking lot so it would be easier for me to find parking. Their ceiling was 24 ft high. Def will come back for more classes next time when I am in Vancouver!

I believe this dance school focuses on ballroom (Latin and standard) dance. However, I think they cater to a Chinese, specifically Mandarin-speaking target audience.

As a first time student of their 90s dance class, I did not expect the instructor to be so rude and…read morecritical. I was not able to grasp all of the choreograpy, and she had no problem shaming me for not being able to follow along. She also loudly snapped at me for being too far from a dot on the floor. The class could not have ended any sooner. I was expecting a fun workout, and did not expect to leave feeling embarrassed and angry. I do not recommend this studio and will not be returning again.

My fiancée and I went there in the lead up to our wedding in order to learn a choreography for our first dance. My fiancée had something very specific in mind, and our instructor Faye was able to work with us to turn it into everything we could have dreamed for. Keep in mind: I am NOT and have never been particularly good at dancing, unlike my now-wife, so I was skeptical of how this would turn out. However, after just a few weeks of lessons, Faye had us waltzing around the room like it was second nature. By the time our wedding approached, we had included several lifts, dips, and other spins I never imagined myself performing. Faye's feedback and pointers are really detailed and helped immensely in sharpening up all of our movements as we got closer and closer to our deadline. The venue was also incredibly accomodating to us, as we wanted to create a video of our dance to share, and to have as a keepsake. We were able to rent out one of the halls for filming, and it turned out incredible.

There are also free parking spaces available and the staffs are always really friendly.
