I trained in a dance academy ballet, jazz, tap, (you name it!) from age 6-18 and after many years have reignited my love for it through MADHOUSE!!!!!! With that being said, I can appreciate the sexy, diverse, and inclusive vibe they facilitate across their dance formats which makes it 1000x more enjoyable to experience. I am currently streaming the video content which is A++ quality and I hope to make it in to some in-person classes soon!! To say the least, I am a huge fan and forever loyal to their vision. TRY IT, YOU WON"T REGRET IT!

Madhouse Dance is such a great place for us ladies to go and get a great workout, have some fun and…read morelearn some spicy moves! I bought a pack of classes during one of their sales as I was very interested in trying it. First off it's always a little intimidating going to a new work out class but everyone here was very friendly and made me feel welcomed. It is a safe space to express yourself and dance your heart out! All of the instructors I've had so far had amazing energy and shared some great moves that were also easy to follow. I suggest letting the check in person know it's your first class so they can guide you (like borrowing knee pads or grabbing a chair for certain classes). Other than my slight difficulty in finding it and somewhat limited parking (there's a small lot and street parking), I love this place and would highly recommend trying it!

The class is fast paced and fun, Erika does an amazing job connecting with all the kids. My daughter took classes at the YMCA and she didn't want to dance, but here she loves it. Erika makes dance feel like play, and they end up learning moves and all following along. The best part about the classes is parents can sit in and watch and it's both hilarious and adorable at the same time. I highly recommend SD Dance with me if you are thinking about enrolling your kid in a dance class!

I normally don't like modern dance, but I went to go see "Shadow of Mercy" last weekend because my…read moregood pals Bernadette and Trystan were performing in it, and they hooked me for 2 for 1 tix for my wife and I. Thanks Friends! I was honestly blown away! Have I just been watching mediocre and "bad" modern dance this entire time? The partnering work of the 2nd and 3rd pieces blew me away...mental note to self: work on upper body strength! The rest of the choreography was smooth, wellconnected, athletic, and beautiful; wheras most modern dances I've seen typically looks as if the dancers just got jacked up on Redbull, E and acid, then tossed on stage to do whatever they feel like. The music was interesting and went well with the pieces and lighting; it was not the typical modern dance crazy tribal or gothic "churchy" music, both of which I can't stand. Unfortunately the last piece was "countryish" music, which did not fit with the rest of the show and seemed very out of place; good choreography wasted on a bad piece of music! Overall, I was very impressed with the entire presentation will definitely be back to see future Malashock shows...maybe even take modern classes after a 9 year haitus...

The aesthetic of the studio's are so very clean and neat especially the mirrors and floor, even with the decoration or with how the studio looks it's a 10/10. Prices are so good and affordable too!

The atmosphere in the small-medium size dancing room is ideal for a not huge group (very different from your massive zumba classes at the gym). The flooring is real hardwood and you can feel the hard work from dancing. The building is the one in Liberty station that hosts a variety of dancing studios with diverse styles.

You can drop in for $15 or buy a series which makes the price of each class cheaper. There are also lots of different classes to choose from.

I was a part of DanzArts' adult company Sabor Mexico for three years, and while I came in hopeful…read moreand excited to dance, what I experienced was a toxic environment fueled by manipulation, favoritism, and complete lack of professionalism from the director, Patricia Astorga. Patricia is the opposite of what a leader should be. The moment she senses loyalty from you, she will use you to your breaking point assigning every task possible just to avoid lifting a finger herself. Dancers are expected to travel long distances for performances (many of them physically demanding) and not only don't get paid we're also expected to pay out of pocket for gas and other expenses. Zero compensation, zero appreciation. The company's board? Just her inner circle of close friends who are completely biased and will twist your words to defend Patricia, no matter how valid your concerns are. When you finally see her true colors, you realize this is not a healthy dance community it's a dictatorship masked as a cultural organization. Patricia has spoken badly about her own dancers behind their backs including her co-director and has actively stirred drama to turn people against each other. She even body shamed me when a 13year old dress ripped as I put it on ( I'm not overweight). Instead of offering help or support, she made it a moment of shame. Financially, the lack of transparency is disturbing. She collects donations and won't even tell her board where the money goes. Meanwhile, we've seen her use the company credit card for personal expenses like hair appointments. During a trip to Campeche in 2023, each dancer was required to pay over $300 "for food" to this day, no one knows where that money went. This review only covers the adult side of DanzArts. When it comes to the children's academy, Patricia is rarely present at all. It was Kristina Cunningham, a now former leader who left due to similar issues, who raised funds and ran the program. Patricia allegedly took the kids' fundraising money too, and again no explanation was ever given. If you're looking for a loyal, respectful, and inspiring dance community, THIS IS NOT IT. I wish someone had warned me sooner so I'm warning you now.
