This place scared me. Not because the place itself was scary but because the idea of dance…read morepetrifies me, especially me experiencing dance for the first time, alone. helpless. In fact the place was pretty awesome like something out of a dance movie ..circa 1987. Actually, correction this was not just dance this was hip-hop, which not only requires co-ordination but an immense dedication to the beat and I have trouble finding the beat, even when its connected to my I pod and ringing over and over in between my ears. Although advertised as a beginners class, I did not feel this was the case. There was so much assumed knowledge here that it felt like 95% of the class were regulars and the dance instructor was not about to cater for the creatively challenged 5% that constantly lagged behind. The instructor was off in her own little world dancing her dance offs and winner her trophies, A+ for enthusiasm lady but can you please put the instruction in instructor? Many Thanks.

I decided to take a jazz class while on holiday in Melbourne and this was one of the only studios…read morethat I could find with legit adult dance classes. A single class is $17 (while getting a class card is the cheapest option if you can go frequently). As a frequent student at Broadway Dance Center in NYC, this place is comparable, but with a much smaller crowd. I took advanced jazz technique on Friday at 12:30, but had a sub teacher that I didn't catch the name of. Her class was very fun and we warmed up to a lot of Beyonce (my fave)! It was pretty advanced paced, but intermediate technique level, which was a really good balance. What I loved most was that it was a judgement free zone. My class had about 8 people total and the instructor picked up my name within minutes. Everyone in the class was very friendly and helpful, which is hard to get back in NYC with all of the competition. There were a few performers in the class as well and I never got a snobby vibe! It made the class really fun :) Definitely worth taking a class. I hope to get back before the end of my holiday!
