ATHLETIC GARAGE DANCE CENTER REVIEWS

Great experience. I've taken contemporary and intermediate tap so far. The instructors are talented and capable, and the vibe of the studio is chill and welcoming. I much prefer environments like this over the competitive/high-pressure vibes at other LA drop-in studios.

Albert Lagunas taught us tonight for the first time and class was sassyyyy!!! Great teacher, patient, kind and a slay away! I hope to come back soon! Great front desk staff as well, location was clean and well ventilated for class.

I left feeling high on life, what an incredible experience. Enough to make me write my first ever review. Thank you to my outstanding teacher who took me away from the BS I was dealing with that day.

DANCE STREET REVIEWS

Great instruction by the staff who are very professional and patient. I enjoyed learning beginner Salsa from two different instructors. I like the way the instructors went over the details of the turns and then had the class practice before partnering up and dancing to music. I highly recommend the studio to anyone interested in learning salsa.

We enjoyed our intro class today at Dance Street! Sho was an excellent instructor and made us feel welcomed. We felt like we learned a lot during our 30 minute session and are excited for our next lessons! Give it a try if you are at all curious.

This is my second class and I can say I find this studio to feel intimate friendly familiar and professional. I am looking forward to continuing my Tango journey here! Claudio is patient attentive and a great teacher.

ELEMENTS DANCE SPACE REVIEWS

Not only is Elements Dance Space an incredible dance school with the best dance teachers in Los Angeles, but it is also a fantastic event space. My partner and I celebrated our wedding here earlier this year with around 250 people. The staff transformed Elements into the most stunning wedding venue and helped us tirelessly with anything we needed before, during and after the event. Our guests were blown away by the venue and even now, months later, people are still talking about it. Huge THANK YOU to Tu and Beau, the owners. Thank you for letting us celebrate our wedding at your beautiful Space. We will never forget this memorable night. I highly recommend Elements Dance Space to anyone who is either looking to dance OR to have an event here.

I love coming to Elements Dance Space for their fitness and aerial fitness classes. They have classes for young kids to adults. All the teachers and staff are so friendly and full of energy. Highly recommend this studio.

Beautiful dance studio with multiple rooms, fair prices to rent a dance studio, great selection of youth and adult dance classes.
