Best dance studio in Sacramento!…read more Top down, this is the place to go if you want to learn more about dance. It has various dance classes: k-pop, hip hop, jazz, ballet, etc. They also have youth lessons, and doing performances, studio rental. It has separate building for students lounge which has small gym, sofa, mini bar (honor system). If you are new student, there is special classes package discount!! Check-in upon arrival for the class. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The class seems always full as I observed the class before mine and the classes around my class. In short: this place is pretty hip and popular, good flow of people. For my hip hop class: it was around 40 people (mixed gender and ages). During hip hop class: the instructor was explaining step by step and section by section, to make it easy to everyone. What I like was he also rotated the class: so if you were at the back, you will be on the side or at the front at some point of the class. The class ended with full choreography, then students were encouraged to perform by groups and cheered by everyone. In overall, good vibe and community with great instructors. Parking: free in the complex If you are new, the GPS will direct you to the other side of the building which is the healthcare. The studio is at the back of the building, so after parking, to walk to your right side.

I hate to do this as my daughter previously danced here for Level Up and we had such a great…read moreexperience from that. Coach Lauren is 10 out of 10 for choreo and working with teen students. The following review is not a reflection of her in any way, shape, or form as she was phenomenal and my daughter admires her greatly. However, let me get into my most recent experience that will have me never coming back or supporting this business & I will tell anyone who asks.... Recently I attempted to book a booth so that my daughter and her friend from dance could have some extra rehearsal time outside of their company rehearsals to just rehearse and nail down technique. Nothing fancy, just hip hop style. I booked online through MindBody after being redirected from their website (awful confusing booking/scheduling system). When booking, I noticed it said that minors could not rent the studio -- which makes sense because they're under age and all that. However on the booking site, it did not specify that you have to be a "certified instructor with proper insurance" to book. The wording on the website (screenshot added below) implied that minors could not book the space without an adult present. Not a certified dance instructor but just a general adult. So cool, I'll sit with them while they rehearse and ensure they use the time and space wisely -- not an issue for these two girls but semantics. I booked online and everything seemed good. However, something told me to call the morning of just to ensure that everything was good to go as after my booking the studio I received no confirmation or reaching out of the staff which seemed odd but okay. When I called, the woman on the phone asked the girls ages. I mentioned they were 15 but I will be present with them the entire duration of using the booth. The woman then informed me that because I was not a certified instructor with the proper insurance this would not suffice and the girls could not use the studio we rented. She reiterated to me that it stated all of this on the website. I assured her that if that's what the policy is, that is not clearly communicated on the website and the verbiage reads as though minors cannot book but an adult can on their behalf but would need to be present. She said no. Cool, so we nixed that plan. I asked if since the policy was not clear and now we would no longer be able to use the space, could we please process a refund for the amount. She stated she could apply the credit for me as an adult to take a class but she could not process a refund. I am not a dancer and have interest in taking a dance class. My DAUGHTER is the dancer so applying a credit for me and me only to use is useless. I stressed this and asked again for a refund. She said no, "we do not process refunds". So now I am out money for a studio that I booked for my daughter to use with no clear communication of said policies, my daughter and her friend lost valuable rehearsal time they were looking forward to having, and I am left to wonder how many other people are they doing this to. It seems small but it's genuinely bad business practice. For a small business and dance studio you'd think there'd be better communication, professionalism, and overall customer service. I thought perhaps I was alone in my interpretation of the website verbiage but then found other reviews almost verbatim reiterating my experience. It seems if multiple people were misunderstanding the same thing (as noted in varying reviews), that as a business owner you'd want to clarify the verbiage so as to ensure the process is smoother for the customer/dancers -- however clearly it's not important enough to do so and it's coming off as a way for them to pocket money and not be bothered. Nonetheless, this is bad business practice and it makes the studio look money hungry instead of outwardly curating a space for serious dancers to grow. We won't be back. My daughter has danced at other studios in the area since our time with SDL and prefers them much more, however we were looking forward to the opportunity rent affordable studio space for a few hours of rehearsal on a Saturday. The studio itself is poorly laid out and crowded and doesn't curate the technique of dancers unless you join a Level Up or one of their teams so it's not too much of a loss overall but I would will never recommend this studio to anyone else in the future. The level of "we didn't communicate well but we also are keeping your money because we don't hold ourselves accountable" is shameful on the owners behalf. Don't go here. Don't give them your money. There are better studios in the Sacramento region with a better atmosphere and better customer service. Affordability for drop in classes seems like a great deal, but you get what you pay for -- low price = low standards.

Heard many stories about the blood,sweat and tears that have been put into this studio. Val's legacy lives through Tiffany & Kelly. I can only imagine how very proud she is of them both. Have fun without judgment, doesn't matter your age or body type, all are welcome. explore different aspects of yourself, & become more confident too. Contact VFS through their #, or social media ! And they typically respond 24-48 hours. I highly recommend attending one of their many classes they provide and for a very fair price. Do make sure to read over their policies carefully. Yes, it may feel cliquey only because regulars have been going here for a while. But this isn't high school nor does it need to be treated as such. There are plenty of friendly people who are willing to connect and you gotta be willing to connect too. It may be awkward at first but it'll be worth it in the end. Bring your friends, mom, auntie, whomever you think can have fun with it. You only live once! Support small businesses :)

Groupon deal, 20 Zumba or R.I.P.P.E.D. classes for $27!…read more Thanks Google Maps street view for helping find the place, they have signs in the windows but I didn't notice a neon/lit sign. The Sombra Fitness/Dance Studio around the corner also has Zumba signage in the window so that can be a little confusing. I came in for my first class on a Wednesday evening, and Sarina and Vivien were instructing. No punchcard, Groupon redeemed easily, sign-in and ready to dance! I've been taking Zumba classes since 2011, first with Tasha in Elk Grove, a few Zumbathons in Natomas and Davis too. I figured West Sac isn't too bad of a drive for such a great deal. I love the energy and vibe, turn the lights down and it really is like a club. Songs and choreo are fun, definitely broke a sweat. I was new but it wasn't too hard to follow/catch on. About 15 people in that evening's class to get an idea of how crowded/popular, although I heard Tues/Thurs nights are more full. First Fridays they have 2 hour Zumba class, for $3 drop-in.

Due to my feet issues, and car issues, and my cat getting sick I had to stop going for awhile.

Hopefully no ladies behind me were following me cause I was doing something different. Lol. Definitely check it out. I have to admit I felt great from getting my body moving and I slept super well during the night. :-)

Location: Their new studio is in between Quickly's and Oscars. There is parking right in front of the studio, as well as street parking all around the sides. I found parking pretty easy! Try to come early if you can to find the place, in case you get lost. Service: Jenna is amazing! They offer a ton of services, including Youth and Adult Services. The classes are affordable, and you get a lot for your buck! They offer a "Cardio Fit" & "Choreo Fit" which is similar to Zumba workouts, but include some choreography! There are also some jazz technique/jazz funk classes offered to the youth. Quality: I got my butt kicked here and definitely broke a sweat! The group here is extremely nice and welcoming here too since I was newer to the classes. I came by for about 30 minutes and took a class and got my workout in! If you're looking to have fun while working out, this is the place to be. Overall, I would come again! They offer classes every day except Saturday's. I really love the environment and the quality of my workout here.

I've never been one for fitness classes.

When I heard this spot opened up and they give you three free classes to try them out, I went against my motto of "gym only" and checked it out. Located in a small strip mallish type of spot, you have Subway and Players Pub as your neighbors and a haircutting spot next door. Holly the owner has an infectious positive attitude and you will emerge from this spot with a smile on your face. Guaranteed. I tried the zumba class, weightless workout and happy bodies workout. They are all good. I'm gravitating towards the happy bodies workout because you get a bit of everything: resistance training, free weights, step cardio and sometimes a smattering of zumba. There are different payment plans. I am kind of an infrequent exercise type of gal, if I have time, I go. I know it should be more like: "I make time to exercise!", but hey, life gets in the way. For Xmas, my husband got me a 10-class pass. (It was on my Xmas list, he didn't get it for me as a hint to get into shape or anything like that.) Best of all, the people who go to the class are all so positive (and nice) too! There is something to be said about exercising together towards a common goal...
