My favorite dance studio in the city. Accessible, bright and spacious. Great teacher, and the Horton and ballet classes I have taken are not much crowded.

Really nice studio spaces with amazing teachers and a great variety of classes to try. Get a 10 pack! You’ll definitely be back for more!

Absolute Beginner Ballet classes with Finis Jhung provide the best way for adults with no dancing experience to learn ballet. The studio is conveniently located nearby Columbus Circle.

My place of passion. Of worship. Of art. Of freedom. I've been taking hip hop with tweety and Jonathan lee. Tweety is more NY hip; Lee is Cali. Warm ups are great with lee. Fun is cray with tweety

Beginner’s samba is amazing & they have live drums! Great place to dance. Avoid the instructor Juan Rodriguez. He snapped his fingers & yelled at another instructor like she was a dog. Rude, not okay.

Great classes BUT shitty locker rooms. If you plan on taking a shower here bring a lock, toiletries and a towel.
ShawnieFebruary 4, 2012
Take any open class for $17. Beginner hip hop classes still require that you have some experience. If you have none, go for absolute beginner.

Beautiful dance studio. Tons of classes. Samba on Sundays with Quenia Ribero are killer and her energy is infectious

I love to listen to the music (the beats of the drums )when I enter this place. Makes a non-dancer like myself feel as I can dance!!.

Zumba class with Sam Salazar! Get there early or else wristbands will sell out since he packs in a full class!
Lindsey OneilMarch 29, 2011
I'm sure the studio is lovely but custodians leave the lights on in the back studio all night! Residents behind love the free performances during the day but could do without the lights all night!!

To the dancers who take Sam Salazar' s Zumba class and are predatory about their spot in class and don't put their things away until class has started: its not worth it!! You are there to work out!!

To the dancers who take Sam's Zumba class religiously and know all the moves. No one cares so there is no need to show off. Focus on the objective: a good sweat.

Always take the elevator in whatever direction it is going in between classes. Either way, its going back the other way.

Bring in your ticket stub from an Ailey performance and get your first class free! If you're already a member get 1 class free with your 10 class card purchase when you bring in your ticket stub.
