Professionalism - 5 stars Patience - 5 stars…read more I wanted to do something fun on my mom's birthday and we decided to have a 1-hr private lesson for our group of 6 ppl (4 adults + 2 kids). I called and spoke with Alessia and she was very patience answering to all my questions. We are interested in learning ballroom dance and she said we can tell her what we wanna learn at the time of the lesson. The location we went was 121 Weaverly in Pasadena. The location was easy to find (10 mins walking distance from old Pasdena town) and my mom chose to learn Waltz. Alessia was our instructor and she was trying to teach us as much as she can within the hour time. She was nice, professional, and patience with all of us. It was a very pleasant experience for all of us.

I've been taking classes with Alessia for a number of years, and every class I learn something new…read more The classes are always fun and she brings great energy. I especially like her attention to detail in the technique, and in the proper way to lead and follow. If you want to learn Salsa, Swing or any of the Ballroom dances you can't go wrong with classes at Let's Dance SP. Alessia recently convinced me to try International Latin and while difficult, I can see definite progress. I especially appreciate her helping me develop my body action which transfers over to my social salsa dancing. Drop by any of the classes and check it out yourself, you won't be disappointed.

For a dance studio, they do have a good amount of positives…read more They offer an average price of $18 for a drop-in class (whether it's for adults or youth classes). The instructors try to be inclusive and are consistent (meaning they teach more than one class every week). They all have a wide range of dance experience and you will not be disappointed by their expertise. You will not find difficulty joining or building a community as there are a lot of regulars from the area that are nice. The building itself is spacious and rental prices seem to be good as well (minimum starting price is $20 an hour). The different spaces they have varies between 4 rooms (Warehouse and Studios A/B/C). There is a small lot and if that's full, there is a decent amount of street parking. It's close to the freeway entrance and plenty of food and other attractions around the area. However, with some positives also comes some areas to improve upon. With the limited parking and street parking, I would recommend coming at least 10-15min early to make sure you can arrive on time to class. Their system tends to be slow at times and you may miss the first 3-10 minutes of class trying to look for parking or wait due to slow check in times. The other focus is the variety of dance classes (in terms of competency levels and styles of dance). It seems that this studio focuses more on hip-hop, Salsa, and Contemporary classes being the most accessible (sprinkled with a couple of jazz, heels, and k-pop once a week). They have the same round of teachers and it would be nice to try different dance styles and genres. This studio definitely can continue to upgrade and grow more! Would try this place at least once and see if it's your vibe.

Such a great dance studio with amazing instructors! Beginning to advanced- all levels are included!…read moreTheir instructors really help break down the steps, moves, etc to help you know the basics of each type of dance. You can learn salsa, samba, Lindy hop, jazz, contemporary, to even Bollywood! The pricing is reasonable and parking is available on their lot and on the street. Can't wait to keep learning from some of my favorite instructors!!

I come here for Dance Church on Wednesdays and Saturdays and I love the space!…read more There are three separate gender neutral bathrooms and a water bottle filling station in the larger studio. The floors are what you'd expect but somehow still grip-able even when slightly covered in sweat. There are cubbies at the front and two doors in so that people who need to leave early don't disrupt the class with light or noise. Parking can be kind of tight but there is usually street parking pretty close in the neighborhood around the studio.

I've been a member at bodydada for four years, and I truly cannot imagine my fitness routine -- or…read moremy community -- without it. What makes bodydada so special starts at the top. The owner, Kim, has created something genuinely rare, a studio that feels like a tight-knit community rather than just a gym. She leads with so much warmth and intention, and it shows in every corner of the space and every person she brings on board. The instructors are absolutely world-class. Every single one brings their own energy, style, and expertise to the barre and yet the quality is consistently incredible across the board. Whether you're a first-timer or a longtime regular, you'll feel challenged, supported, and seen. I've taken classes with all of them over the years, and I'm always excited to walk through the door no matter who's teaching. Four years in, bodydada still feels like the highlight of my week. If you're on the fence about trying it, consider this your sign.

This local dance studio is a hidden gem in the perfect location for budding Monterey Park dancers…read moreof all ages! It's so close, convenient and located in a plaza with over a dozen nail salons and a sprinkling of food/drink places. A perfect plaza to kill time for a parent who is waiting for their child that is taking dance classes in these studios. For those who would like to be present as their kid takes class, these studios also have a great seating area to observe the lessons. They have just recently expanded classes for older kids and adults. A great way for the adults to move their bodies, get their groove back on, and burn some calories. To top it off, DanceLA just opened up another studio two doors down to accommodate more classes. The recent open house showcased this beautiful space. This place has friendly, encouraging, and supportive dance teachers who are skilled in teaching students of all ages. There is also ample parking in the adjacent structure. Local, reasonably priced, with friendly, kind, staff members, is a winner in my book. Check this place out! Whether you're a youngster just starting out, a former dancer looking to move again, or an older newbie that wants to move their body for fun, DanceLA is the place for you. Check them out and support local businesses.

These teachers REALLY know how to work with children, and foster an environment of joy and creativity where all students feel supported and appreciated.

It was only my second class, but Sho's beginner swing group class absolutely whooped my calves. I…read morenever knew swing dancing could be so intense! What I found fascinating is that I had taken a few West Coast Swing lessons with a private instructor before, and as odd as it is to say, I learned more in one group class with Sho than I did in three private lessons. On top of that, the space is beautiful and everyone was incredibly friendly. If you're debating whether to check this place out, just do it. I'm always a little hesitant before trying something new, but after both classes, I walked out thinking, "Holy smokes, I can't wait for the next class."

He was awesome! He was able to quickly come up with a routine that was approachable/doable for beginners but still looked really nice. Everyone at dance street is friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend anyone who has ever been interested in learning to dance, even in the slightest, or if you need a choreographed dance for a specific occasion to book a session.
