The front desk staff weren't very welcoming either. I arrived early and just had a simple question, but was met with blank stares and a vibe like I was bothering them. The studio itself wasn't ideal for focus or rehearsal. You could hear everything happening in the adjacent studios!! There was no sound insulation whatsoever. so it was hard to stay in the zone during class. Overall, the energy felt off, and I definitely wouldn't book this space for my own classes or come back to rehearse.

They also provide bathrooms for changing and cubbies in the studio to store your belongings.

This was my second time visiting Sass Class, and it was very intentional. I traveled from another…read morestate specifically to take class here, which already says a lot about how much I value the experience. This time, I took class with Amber, and she is truly a 10 out of 10 -- from her character to her teaching style, choreography, and ability to educate dancers in real time. She doesn't just teach steps; she teaches movement vocabulary and helps you understand how to inhabit the choreography as it unfolds. That presence and clarity make the experience special. A lot of what I enjoy about Sass Class comes down to both the choreographers and the energy of the space. That said, there are some practical considerations. There is no elevator, which can be challenging because of the number of stairs you have to go up and down. The studio itself is small but functional. There's a small waiting area, a check-in desk, two bathrooms, and a spot to quickly change if needed. There are two studios, which allows classes to run smoothly without feeling crowded. The location is central, not far from Moynihan Train Hall or Port Authority, and there are plenty of food options nearby for before or after class. Overall, SASS Class continues to be a space I value. I fully intend to take more classes there in the future. For me, it's about the quality of instruction, the intentionality of the movement, and the community -- and that keeps drawing me back.

After I was given the opportunity to watch the Paul Taylor Dance Company's stunning performance of…read more the Emmy-winning, "Speaking in Tongues" and a playful dance piece set to the music of Bach at Lincoln Center last month, I decided to take the open modern class at the Paul Taylor School in the Lower East Side. Learning from a retired company member was such a great honor. The adult open modern class is every Thursday night and is $20/class. The class size in this studio school is very small and offers quite a different experience from most other much more crowded dance classes in Manhattan. Expect to be called on by your first name and receive a lot of personal attention and constructive criticism. Also unlike other dance classes, you will have a warm-up and learn a string of short pieces (instead of one long piece of choreography) with each short piece incorporating and concentrating on at least one Paul Taylor signature move. Being able to learn these characteristic moves that I had just watched the company perform on stage was both interesting and rewarding. It seems like these pieces are taught and redone week after week rather than being expanded on which may be preferable for some. The class is also taught with live music, which always makes the dance process much more stimulating. While the room is large and contains many windows, the downside is the lack of mirrors. This may be a personal preference, but I like to be able to watch the instructor, other dancers, and my own body in the mirror to be able to compare and self-correct. Learning the choreography not by watching the instructor's reflection in the mirror, but by copying her mirror image while she faced us, was something that took some time to get used to. Likelihood of another visit: I may go back!

Our guests were blown away by our dance, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our wedding. Highly recommend Liza to anyone looking for a wedding dance that feels truly special!

We were visiting NYC from out of town and signed up for an adult hip hop class while we were there…read more At first I was nervous because the class was twice as long as the classes we do back home, but it really seemed to fly by. Our instructor (Slice) was very accommodating and went at a pace that was comfortable for the whole class. The building was large with multiple floors and studios. Class price was very reasonable, especially for NYC. There's a small merch area and some tables and chairs for lounging. It looked like there were some other out of towners there too so I'd definitely recommend it for anyone visiting or not.

While I wasn't the student called out in Dorit's Basic (level one) Ballet class, I was also in socks. As a new student, I hated the way that Dorit called this student out in front of the class - especially in a basic class and one that is $29! I wish she had handled this differently, as the rest of the class was very lovely and Dorit is an extremely talented instructor. I just couldn't help feeling anxious I would be called out as well.
