I've been attending classes with Lena and Heidi for nearly a year. I've tried several other…read moreclasses in the area and this one stands out for a number of reasons. Their mix of music is about 60/40 between familiar upbeat songs from dance/hiphop on the radio and latin songs that are newer to me. As a new student I found that their routines were easy to get into, and now I still find small things I can improve to follow them better or to increase the challenge/exercise/fun. They introduce new songs fairly regularly so things stay fresh while you still get to revisit old favorites. They take class input on the song mix: if there's a specific song you want that night you can speak up and there's a good chance it will be included. The environment is very supportive..you look around in between songs and everyone is smiling and friendly. They also find a way to involve the more experienced students in the class by having them come up and help lead on certain songs. They celebrate class achievements in meeting fitness goals and feature students on their FB page. Lately they've begun to incorporate some light/toning weights into a featured song most classes, which is a nice change of pace. A couple months back we had an eighties themed zumba party to raise money for ALS that was a lot of fun. It sounds like more themed nights are planned. These are all things that make this class great. I have a blast every time I go. And I get an awesome workout. What takes it to the next level for me are three key things: (1) Childcare. EVERY class they teach has childcare available in the kidzone at the gym. It works out to something like $1.50-$2 per child per class. This is very unusal in the area, especially for evening classes. My kids have a great time in the kidzone. While there's a tv in there, my kids usually spend their time playing with the other kids...many nights they have friendly dance contests with them. They look forward to going. It's like a playdate for them. (2) Price. Classes are free for gym members. Mt Si Sports n Fitness is already a very good bargain as a gym. If I took these classes as part of a punch card program similar to those offered at other gyms in the area I'd pay ~ $5/class. I attend ~10 classes/month and I pay less than $50/month for my gym membership. And I can use all the rest of the gym facilities, showers, other free-to-members classes (there are several). It's an amazing value. (3) Proximity. Of course this won't be true for everyone, but this is 5 minutes away for me. There are other classes in the area just as close, but not with all the features that this one has. If I had to drive 45 min roundtrip to a class you could chalk up another $4-5 in gas I would be paying for each class, and that's if I could make it given the rest of my schedule. I coached my kids soccer teams this past year and I could make it back from soccer practice in time to attend classes. The only thing I think might put potential students off is that the evening classes can be pretty crowded, especially Monday and Wednesday nights. I've never seen anyone turned away, but you should get there 5-10 minutes early to get yourself a spot where you can see the instructors.

There is a man who lives on the first floor, right outside the doors, who is a senior with disabilities. I am on the third floor, and every time they wake me up. I've asked the dance studio to please deal with this problem, but they simply ignore me. Sometimes people stand outside laughing and talking as well. There is a quite simple solution: exit the front door after 10 pm. I have multiple videos of this happening.

I went here for my first dance lesson outside of college (because of covid, this was over a year…read moreago!) for the Hip Hop I/II lesson that took place around lunchtime of Sunday. Although the instructor was a substitute, I felt the quality of the lesson was not diminished at all. Pace of the lesson is beginner friendly, and even though it took me the first half of the hour to adjust and remember the vibe of dancing, I was still able to pick up the fundamentals and feel confident in myself dancing a few 8 counts at the end without hesitation. I had a great time, even with the fact that the class was really small (about 6 people), as it normally feels a bit intimidating for me to dance in small groups, at least for now. The only issue for me is the commute as I don't have a car to commute from downtown Seattle, but whenever my friend with a car wants to do more dance lessons, this will certainly be the first place I will think of! Besides, this is one of my coworkers go-to dance studio in the past before he moved closer to the city, and he has mentioned that before covid, some lessons are so popular you have to pay in advance to secure a spot!

You leave feeling accomplished after a thorough workout while dancing to great songs. I wasn't sure what to expect when I came here. It was a bit confusing trying to find the studio. When you enter from street level, you have to go downstairs towards the Underground Dance Studio. You can either dance barefoot or with shoes (wish they could make a rule about which one because my feet always get dirty). The class starts off with some warm up dances and then moves through different types of styles of dancing with each song change. You get to express yourself however you want to. You don't have to do every single move the same way and they encourage movement around the floor. Thankfully there are a bunch of fans around the room because by the 3rd song I'm always sweating. There are no official breaks so step off the dance floor and get water as necessary. Class ends with some stretching and warm cloths with some sort of essential oil. I can't wait til the next class!

I came across this place when I bought one of the 8-class package from one of those deal sites…read more(don't remember if it was AmazonLocal, Groupon or some other sites). I figured I would just try this place out since it was quite close to my home and it had good reviews. I was pleasantly surprised at how cheerful and upbeat all the instructors are (I tried Zumba/Hiphop and More than Dance classes and probably have been in classes with 5 different instructors (depending on the day/time you choose to go). What I can say is that all the instructors are have their own styles but are definitely wonderful and will keep you happily dancing. What I particularly like about this place is the christmas lighting and the setting that makes you not feel so self-conscious about what you are doing wrong or how terrible of a dancer you may think you are. I admit that I'm not a naturally good dancer and I have a good time everytime I go there. There are, of course, some people there who can dance like rock stars and look really cool when they dance. However, the instructors there are very encouraging and provide guidance what you can do as a beginner, intermediate or advanced dancers, so you can really just do things at your own level and not care so much about others. It definitely feels liberating to just be able to dance your own style, at your own pace/level, and nobody is judging you on how you look or how weird you dance :). After the package ran out, I ended up signing up for more classes and still go there whenever I find some free time.
