Karma is an A-type personality who makes sure you get a lot out of the class, but she's also…read moreincredibly emotionally in tune, which is a rare and amazing mix. She makes sure you get the moves while also keeping the environment supportive, comfortable, and celebratory. I love when she gets so excited that she literally starts screaming because someone in class is going off. She celebrates people constantly, by name or even just noticing something they're rocking like, "Yes, GREEN JUMPSUIT!" Being the only guy in the class, I've never once felt isolated, judged, or uncomfortable about assumptions people might make about me. I've only ever felt celebrated. It was refreshing not having to navigate that in a public place. She encourages fluidity in whatever way feels right for you, whether it's super masc, super feminine, or somewhere in between. Her focus is helping you connect to your artistic dance spirit, and that's when you know you're doing it right. She also celebrates neurodiversity and really focuses on what the strengths are within that, while also helping people navigate certain challenges. Karma's class is more than just learning choreography. Watching her dance is witnessing powerful, raw, and inspiring artistry. When she demos, it honestly feels like a mini performance during class. Then when she dances with us right after, you feel like this epic backup dancer, and it inspires new moves and articulations within you. There's also a strong sense of community in Karma's class. She's built a culture where you not only bring self-love to the class, but appreciation and love for the people dancing alongside you. Someone might be doing a twerk, an offbeat wild move on their chair, or some epic crawl across the floor, and the whole class erupts with roaring encouragement. Karma encourages asking questions about the dance moves and routines. She absolutely loves them. But remember, she's an A-type personality, so be sure to raise your hand. ; ] She's also a motivational instructor because she's real. She doesn't say generic things. Sometimes she shares philosophies or lessons that helped her in life, and I've caught myself thinking, "How is this level of Impacting dialogue happening in a chair dance class?" It's a one-of-a-kind experience that involves a chair, saucy moves, and surprising moments of human-centered community, full of loving people hosted by the radiant Karma!

I took a Hip Hop 1-2 class with LaShawn and loved it! She had great energy and challenged us to…read morepush ourselves. I also appreciated her focus on hip hop fundamentals like popping and waving as part of our warmup. While I enjoyed the class, I think it would have been intimidating if it was my first time setting foot in a dance studio. I would encourage the front desk employees to greet first time visitors and give them a brief rundown of the space, where to place your belongings, what to expect from class, etc. A lot of the people in the class seemed to know each other already which just shows you how popular these classes are. I hope to return soon!

I attended this dance studio for bachata classes with Joe and Maria. It's very conveniently located…read moreand has a huge parking lot. I love dancing, and Joe and Maria are incredibly professional. They explain everything in detail and give attention to every student. They're always ready to help and guide you if something doesn't work out. The atmosphere in the classes is very positive and friendly - it feels like you're part of a big dance family The studio itself has several dance rooms. They are always clean, cozy, well-ventilated, equipped with air conditioning, and have large mirrors, which is very important for dance practice. The receptionist is also very pleasant, positive, and friendly. I was absolutely delighted with my experience at this studio and would happily recommend it to my friends who love dancing.

I recently completed a 12-week salsa course at Dancer University after a friend who knew I was…read moreinterested in taking classes, told me about the great experience she had there in the past. I was a bit hesitant to join as I felt the full series was a big commitment. Quickly after I joined, I ended up looking forward to being in class every week. Now I couldn't be happier that I went for it, and thankful for my friend suggesting it! Jasmine was the main instructor. She guided us with such passion and expertise, occasionally supported by Nicole. Together, they created an environment where I felt encouraged and challenged at all times. You can really see not only how much knowledge and skill they have, but also how much love they pour into what they do. This course has done wonders for my confidence on the dance floor. When I first started, I was nervous about dancing at socials (and clueless on how to do so), but by the end of the program, I have been able to dance through full songs without fear and very little hesitation. There's so much to learn still, but woah! This is a strong beginning. Plus, Dancer University provides a 2 hour space for all students from different courses/all levels to get together and practice on the weekend. It was SO helpful to build up confidence while dancing at socials was still too intimidating. Their logistics team is great too and will help accommodate you for a different class, if anything comes up and you can't make it to your usual class. That was a huge plus! Only thing I didn't like.. was I didn't want the series to end! Which means DU will continue to see more of me. Looking forward to it! Thank you all for an incredible experience learning and dancing with you. I loved every second of it!

The people that run the place are terrible. The receptionist brings two big dogs that are left to…read moredo as they please while young kids come and go! The service Elinor provided was terrible too. Once session when kids were acting out, she yelled at them and treated them so unkindly that the girls were I Tera and they never wanted to come back. I requested my refund for the session unused and she refused! Such terrible service. Elinor is not a good dance teacher for girls nor has the ability to treat people properly. I asked very kindly for the refund but she refused! So rude...do t go to her!!!!!

This time we worked on reviewing along with some cha cha & jive. You will be lucky to get her as your coach for the private lessons! She is so great at explaining and showing you as you go for those hands on learners. She's a gem!

We moved to the area from DC last year, and I'm so THANKFUL I found The Floor so my (then) 6-yo…read moredaughter could continue her dance training. I was looking for a place that had technically skilled instructors AND a warm, welcoming environment. This is not easy to find. Often with teachers of this caliber and training, you find a competitive and cold culture which doesn't work for my daughter or for me. The Floor couldn't be further from this. The Studio Director must place high importance on cultural fit because every single person we've worked with here is top-notch - helpful, attentive and just a good human. The Floor is a wonderful place - it honestly feels like family. My daughter loves it here so much that she's taking 3 classes a week. Even teachers who have never taught her know her by name, and they know me too! It's just that kind of place. I can't recommend it highly enough.

REVIEW FOR ADULT CLASSES: I danced for the first half of my life, and then took a long hiatus. I…read morealways wanted to pick up dance again as an adult, but I was having a hard time finding a class I could keep up with as someone who hadn't been dancing for a long time. A little over a year ago, I saw that WLAD offers adult tap classes (a rare find!), I thought I'd give it a go, and I'm so grateful for the community I've found here! While WLAD is traditionally a studio for kids, I love that they offer tap, jazz, hip-hop, and ballet exclusively for adults, and in a completely non-judgmental environment (Heavy on the non-judgmental - EVERYONE is welcome, even if you're a total novice!). If you're even considering trying it out, I highly encourage you to come tap with us. I've been coming to Kistina's weekly class for over a year now, and I'm so happy to have dance back in my life!

I'm so glad we found this studio! My daughter absolutely loves her class with Ms. Kistina. She is…read morewonderful and patient with the kids and knows just how much to push them to make progress without it being too much! The winter recital is coming up and our daughter is so excited to be part of she show as an Angel in the nutcracker! It is so lovely that the little ones get to be part of the show and feel that they are part of a family of dancers. The studios owner, Ms. Mariah, really cultivates this feeling of belonging. I love the adult tap with Ms. Kistina! I started last year as a complete novice and look forward to my time there every week! Can't wait to try out some more classes, once the craziness of the holidays is past us.

I came here to participate in Elina's Elina's intuitive painting experience…read more It was truly magical! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at ease. She created an intimate, calming atmosphere that began with a guided meditation, setting the perfect tone for the evening. The small class size made it personal and comfortable, allowing everyone to dive right into the creative process without pressure or judgment. Elina's warm, kind energy as a host made the experience exceptional. Surrounded by blankets and pillows, we could disconnect from the outside world and fully immerse ourselves in painting, which felt like a therapeutic journey. The soft music and Elina's gentle guidance added to the ambiance, making it easy to express ourselves freely. At the end of the night, I took home my artwork and a beautiful bracelet she gifted us, making the experience even more special. I highly recommend this to anyone seeking a creative and soulful way to unwind and connect with their inner child! I booked it through Airbnb Experience, but I believe you can also book through her website: https://www.elinadanilova.com/workshops

I had to go to the emergency room and couldn't go to my studio time I get they have a 24 hr notice but I think if your literally in the hospital and also have a doctors note for the absence that should be something you can at least be a decent human being and let people have a credit that really shows what this studio stands for now. So just a heads up if you're in the hospital dead they will keep your money and don't care.

We took private dance lessons with Zweli to prepare for our first dance and had an incredible…read moreexperience with him. His choreography was perfectly tailored to our song, venue and dance ability - and most importantly, to us as a couple. From the very first lesson, Zweli created such a welcoming, encouraging space that we genuinely looked forward to each weekly session. Not only is he an incredibly talented choreographer and teacher, but he's also a joy to know. He made the learning process feel fun, meaningful, and collaborative - always striking the perfect balance between building our confidence and gently challenging us with moves that felt exciting to conquer. It truly felt like the three of us were a team. One of the most special parts of the experience was discovering how much we enjoyed dancing together. What started as prep for our wedding turned into a new shared interest, and that's all thanks to Zweli's energy, enthusiasm and heart. We got so many compliments on our first dance - and we are forever grateful to Zweli for the amazing journey to get there. Zweli has our highest recommendation!

I have been social dancing for years, but really wanted to improve some specific things that I couldn't find from group classes. Receiving personalized teaching from Liz- to know where I could make adjustments, and how to practice it at home was so helpful. My dancing now not only looks better, but it feels better, and it increases safety! I HIGHLY recommend taking a private with Liz, you will notice a major difference in your ability immediately. She is kind and supportive but can still meet you right at your personal growth edge. We are so lucky to have her in LA. Absolutely amazing.

I don't recommend this place to any parent that has multiple children!!! I have enroll my daughter…read moreto Diaz studio of dance, for the Ballet/Tap class 4 to 5 years old. As any parent knows, sometime things happen, and my daughter got a cold, so off course I didn't took her to attend her class. However, when I email to try to schedule a MAKE UP CLASS, they said it the only availability was the Saturday class at 9am and parent participation on that class was mandatory!! I didn't understand why I had to participate on that class since I don't have to participate on the classes that she actually takes it, Also I tried to explain that I have a 14 month old boy and would be impossible for me to do any participation at that class since I have to watch my son as well!! Later I found it, that the makeup class they were offering was a toddler class, Ballet/Tap 2 to 3 years old. WHAT A JOKE!!! My daughter is 5 going on almost 6 years old, and they want her to dance with 2 years old???? Also they want to obligate me to participate in the class? they want to make me pay for my 14 month old BOY, to do ballet-Tap dance on that day so my daughter could do the class which was not at all the class that I have paid the tuition for!!! Let me give you an example, if you miss a math class on 6 grade but the school offer you a make up class math from third grade??? Is that make sense??? Get my point ? Well they didn't !!!! when I called and tried to explain this, the UNPROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEE from this facility was extremely rude, didn't even let me talk, and hang up the phone on my face!!!! FOR WHAT??? So I kept calling, and they completely tried to reverse the whole situation, saying that I was the rude one and that the made a decision to cancel my daughter our contract ( which I'm glad!!!! ) but it wasn't fair, first because how I CAN BE RUDE, IF YOUR EMPLOYEE DIDNT EVEN LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY!???? instead she just kept yelling on the phone, shutting me off and just repeating THIS IS THE "POLICY" !!! Literally not letting me talk at all, and like a child having a tantrum she choose to hang up the phone on my face!!!! I was chocked!!!! An hour later they wrote that I "violate their POLICY," and I was treating their employee what A LIE!!!! The Main reason why I'm writing this review is to ALLERT any person that is thinking of signing up they children to this facility, they wrote on they their email the stand up for their employees . Well I STAND UP FOR PARENTS, like me that don't deserve to be treated this way and don't want my child to be surround of this kind of people that works on your studio!!! ATTENTION PARENTS: BE CAUTIOUS BEFORE SIGNING YOUR CHILD HERE FOR CLASSES, keep in mind , if your kid gets a cold and you keep your child home to prevent others from getting sick, when you tried to get the make up class they will offer you a "BABY CLASS" regardless your child age and if you complain they will treat you like trash!!! LOS ANGELES IS FULL OF GREAT DANCE STUDIOS with nice, kind people !! Some things happens for a reason and the only positive out of all of this is that my FAMILY WONT BE NEAR THIS PLACE EVER again!!! Do yourself a favor and research their POLICY THAT ONLY BENEFIT THEMSELVES BEFORE WAISTING YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!!
