This place has given me some amazing memories. My son has been in since he was little tiny, and by extension doesn't know he even has an option NOT to dance (but don't tell him that!). Mrs. Charmin is excellent. The parking is miserable. The annual performances are so cool that I want them seasonal. The staff is really friendly. There aren't many dance options but even if there were Eastside would still shine. (Except the parking... for the love of God.) read more

I've been going to Eastside Dance and took advantage of their first free class, along with the two weeks of unlimited classes for $45, which is an amazing deal! Their instructors are very knowledgeable about different dance genres and their history. The facilities are clean and well-organized, and both locations have designated parking spots. The only downside is that it can get quite hot during classes, especially when we're moving quickly and there are many people. It would be even better if the windows were open or if there were fans to help circulate the air in addition to the AC. Overall, the instructors and classes are great--I can't wait to come back for more! read more

My son goes to the teen hip-hop class and he really loves it here. The staff and the teachers are awesome and they are so supportive and kind. The waiting room is always clean and the staff periodically cleans the floors and bathrooms. They really do a good job at keeping things clean and orderly here for the students and parents. They do screen out the windows to the practice rooms, so it's difficult to see inside so the students have some privacy when learning their choreography, which I know my son finds comforting. He's more on the shy side and he gets self-conscious when we watch him practicing or learning the choreography. I feel like here, they bring out the confidence in him. Even though he's a little ashamed to show us his dance routine sometimes, he really enjoys dancing and never wants to miss a class. We even had to adjust his Taekwondo schedule so he can make it to dance class. I definitely recommend Eastside dance for kids and adults who want to learn to dance. If I have time, maybe I'll give it a go. Update: Our friend's son wanted to try hip-hop and he tried out the kid's class. He really enjoyed it! He said he definitely wants to sign up for the class and he's joining the Eastside Dance Family! YAY! read more

We've been attending Eastside Dance for two years and it's the best and most well-run dance studio we've attended in my daughter's 7 years of dancing. Miss Molly's focus on inclusion and diversity means that there is a class for everyone and everyone is welcome. It's not competitive and the students have fun, while learning to love dance at the same time. The teachers at the studio are top notch and care so much about each and every student. I can't say enough about the warm and caring atmosphere at this studio and I recommended it to all my friends. They even have adult classes, and, yes, it's OK if you're not a dancer! All are welcome. They meet you where you are! read more

Our daughter Cassandra began her dance journey at Eastside Dance two years ago, starting at 9 with no experience, and she's blossomed into a confident, hardworking ballet dancer-now competing in YAGP this year and excelling in ballet, pointe, contemporary, pom, hip hop, the pre-pro program, and Company. The amazing instructors, like Heidi McNulty, Molly Davis, and others, have nurtured her growth, and she's made great friends, while the welcoming community has been a delight for me as a parent volunteer-connecting with other parents and staff makes it a special place we'll stick with throughout her dance journey! Thank You Eastside Dance!!!! read more

I LOVE Eastside Dance! I am signed up for their adult Studio Hip Hop class, and the teacher Ms. Aara is phenomenal. I signed up feeling a little nervous for my trial class because I hadn't taken a dance class in literally years, and I had never danced hip hop in my life. This class has proven to me that literally anyone - even someone like me - can dance and have fun! The class is non-competitive, everyone is truly supportive, and there are adults of all different ages, professions, and walks of life. I find that I enjoy the class more when everyone shows up eager to learn without feeling fear or frustration around "not being perfect," and thankfully, the class is like that almost every class. Ms. Aara is a gifted teacher who truly cares about her students and her passion for dance and teaching shines. I knew after the first class I wanted to sign up! I've also dropped in on her commercial dance class which is somewhere between lyrical, contemporary, and jazz. It's been tough to commit to a class on Friday nights, but so far, I've been happy signing up using my punch card for the classes I can make. Finally, the operations have been impeccable. I haven't met Molly the owner yet, but I'm truly impressed at how seamless Eastside has their practice. You can sign up and pay all online, I have everything set to autopay so I don't have to think twice about billing, and Lily the front desk receptionist is kind and patiently answers my zillion questions. An epic find. I hope to be with Eastside for as long as my knees can handle it!!! read more

I can't say enough about how much joy being a part of the Eastside Dance Community brings me. I am a novice adult dancer in my mid 40s and tapping gets me out of my head and into my body. The community is fun and supportive and truly wonderful. If you are considering dance for yourself or your child, come join us. This is the place for all to be a dancer! read more

I've been taking the Tuesday adult ballet class since their opening and can't love it more! Molly was a professional ballerina at PNB and has tons of teaching experience. She makes the class super enjoyable and inclusive of students' different experience levels. It is where I sweat in a good amount but also get encouraged and able to improve my ballet skills. I've taken ballet classes in numerous studios in Seattle & eastside. This definitely is my favorite. Highly recommend to anyone who loves dance and enjoys a high quality classic ballet training. They have other dance classes like tap and children's classes too. And take Covid precautions seriously. read more

Womderful place! Will help your kids appreciate movement and music and exercise and expression! Highly recommended!

My elementary aged daughter took hip hop dance classes at Eastside Dance this year and what a FABULOUS experience it has been. The school is heavily values-based and works very hard to create and promote body positivity and inclusiveness and to celebrate dancers and dances from all backgrounds. All the teachers and staff are fantastic and I am so grateful and appreciative to the school for the positive environment they create. My daughter has learned so much this year and her younger sister is very excited to join her sister and take classes starting in the fall. Also, I was so impressed by the professional and organized recital the school held at the end of the year. Without question, we'll be at Eastside Dance as long as my kids want to keep learning! read more

Molly is hands down one of the most caring, intentional instructors and business owners I have ever met. She not only cares about the class instruction/technique, but more importantly cares about each individual student. She is highly communicative and listens to your/your children's goals to ensure that you are satisfied with your experience at Eastside Dance. Separately - Molly has done an amazing job designing the studio so that it is warm, welcoming, and spacious for her students to have the best physical space for instruction and community building. read more
