Took a friend here dancing and they had a couple of new teachers there, not the normal couple, the group they had decided their friend needed to dance with my date and refused to give her back until 20 minutes after the class, she didn’t like it, I didn’t like it, we won’t be going back to this sleazy place!!!

Fantastic studio. The space is spacious, well-designed, and has a great atmosphere. I especially appreciate the variety of lighting setups - it’s perfect for both classes and recording. Parking is easy with plenty of spots in the back, and the flooring is ideal for dance. I’ll absolutely be back. Highly recommend…

Hi Gregory, I am sorry to hear this. As we are a rental facility we are not in control of the classes and students. I apologize on behalf of our client and will be looking into this further.
