Best Urban Dance Classes In Sydney Near Me

Michellee Gracee: Update: April 2023.For all those giving bad reviews and pretty much bagging out the receptionist. I think you need to be a bit more kind with your words. Some of them are new or still learning on the job. There are so many students, classes and teachers. They get calls, messages and admin. They are a small business running with alot going on.Just relax and be cool - it's a dance studio.My review for crossover.100% the best place to go for hip hop. Real hip hop!!! Many different styles and classes. I highly recommend

L T: I've been to a few Crossover classes and most recently Keanu's Sunday popping class. He's exceptional! Great dancer, but more importantly he knew how to teach. I like how he ran thru the basics since we are an absolute beginner class. Myself for one never danced popping before and was quite clueless when I entered the classroom. Keanu's also very friendly and I encourage people to ask questions on the spot in class so everyone can learn, especially if you're in beginners. Some areas of improvement I can suggest: please revamp your booking system, it's hideous and not user friendly at all. Second point is that there are too many people in the classroom, I could barely stretch. A bit more space would be appreciated.

PB Falcon: Classes have been good. And the teachers I've had so far have been friendly and nice to learn from. The only issue I have is the attitude and lack of professionalism of the receptionist. The lady at the front desk (I think her name is Mina) was not able to answer any of my questions and was too busy talking to her friend (another girl at the front desk who was also rather rude) to answer my questions when my friend wanted to join class. She couldn't even make eye contact or muster a greeting and treated us like we were taking up her time. I saw her treat several customers (students, but paying people) in a similar way--more than once. Felt like I was in highschool. No one wants to be a Karen or enjoys writing these reviews, but sometimes rudeness goes both ways. And it is unnecessary to be rude. Even though it's a front desk job, some professionalism doesn't hurt. You don't have to be friendly but some basic manners, respect and attentiveness shouldn't be difficult. Unless she's incapable of doing that? This behavior is not only unprofessional but also reflects poorly on the dance studio as a whole. It is important that management understand that customer service is an essential aspect of running a successful enterprise. I hope that the management takes steps to address this issue and ensures that such behavior does not occur again in the future. Other than that, I have enjoyed the classes and didn't want to voice this issue for a while because the teachers I've had have been wonderful.

Max Pollard: THE BEST DANCE STUDIO IN SYD. This studio has the best teachers, classes and community. If you are even thinking of taking and dance class come here

Redcomet: Great fun,amazing teachers and people

Ben McFly: I have been involved in dance throughout my life and been to various dance studios but always felt like I was missing something. When I started coming to Crossover Dance Studio around 2 years ago, I finally found what I was looking for.There are so many unique styles that are taught here by really talented and supportive teachers. The community of people that attend this studio are also really friendly and encouraging. I have made a lot of good friends here who have helped me to grow as a performer.The studio also hosts a number of awesome dance events throughout the year when possible, which makes the experience even more fulfilling.I am so grateful to Jaye, my dance teachers and this community for the experiences I have had so far and hope to continue to learn at this studio for years to come.

D L: Jordan was great, love his energy and vibe and the choreography was so much fun! BUT the receptionist haf utterly spoiled the entire experience for me by walking IN FRONT of me BACK AND FORTH while I was taking video and she was not just distracting but also inconsiderate!!!! I am very upset by this experience!

Tomasz Mikolajewski: Excellent popping classes!

Juniper Tan youtube: Thank you to the teachers especially Robin, Lok, Keanu, and Isy2years ago: Mixed experience. There seems to be a self-perpetuating cycle of showcases where the tickets are mainly sold to other dancers so those in the showcases aren't really getting exposure. Sometimes it seems that the owner plays poor by asking for donations while after showcases it is said that he goes on overseas trips for himself. Please decide for yourself what you think of that.There are amazing teachers and students and jammers who I've learnt so much from! Although when I was going through anxiety and it didn't seem like I was keeping up with the teaching another teacher outside looking in said something along the lines of "I'm glad I don't have to teach het". But the teacher who was teaching me actually talked to me about my issues outside of class!!I've actually recommended xo to some friends who want to dance 🤗 and I love how they teach k-pop!

Sarinee Mayong: I am interested in dancing and know the place from my friend.I really new about dancing, and not feel confident . But just found in here have the absolutely beginner hiphop class. I went there for asking more information but the receptionist didn't provide any helpful information . I actually look up online before I go to the studio. What I got from the receptionist ,it just something like 'yeah you can do everything online' .But my experience with my friend who bring me to use the room there and can see the environment was so nice.Will try to find the information by myself and get back again if I can.

Melody Tang: It was a good experience with Penny on Thursday’s contemporary. Good vibes. The experience would be better if there’s more air flow inside the room and a cleaner dance floor.

Aaron M: Awesome team, great environment, each week gets better and better! Highlight of my week 🙂👍

Aaron McIver: Great place to learn very welcoming, friendly and very skilled. Highly recommend to anybody! Give it a go!

Downworlder Lilith: This place is amazing when trying to get into dance or back into it. Coming back into a dance atmosphere after so long can be difficult and this place made it easy. Pleasant atmosphere if you want to go alone or with a few friends. Only problem can be trying to get in touch with your choreographer/teacher if you don't have their direct number or a contact platform of some sort if you wish to take it up as much as possible and could miss a class and might need to catch up. All in all amazing place & has kept me coming back trying different dance styles/classes.

Vanessa N: Came here for my private dance classes for my wedding and these guys did not disappoint. From start to finish Jaye, Imogen and Shannen were so welcoming and accomodating to what both myself and my husband wanted to do. They made us feel so comfortable too. As we did a slow dance remixed into a faster hip hop/rnb song we did a mixture of slow dance classes then hip hop/urban classes. They were so patient with us and Jaye even remixed our songs! If you need wedding dance classes, I'd definitely recommend Crossover 😊Thank you Jaye, Imogen & Shannen!!

DJ Dumplings: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueThanks for supporting DJs like me and creatives too. Because XO has a very wholesome community, you'll end up making great friends, memories and challenge yourself to be better version of you.

zhen zeng: Nice studio. However the receptionist didn't even know when an instructor start teaching a new dance. It is not great to jump into a random class where everyone was in their fourth week for a particular dance.

Clive E: Awesome staffGreat studio , nice vibe.

Grace: Lyrical classes on point

Fiona White: Great music, comfortable atmosphere and fun hip hop class. Will definitely check it out again.

Benjamin Mourad: Groove Zone is exactly what this is. Hip Hop and a little funk and brining your groove. Most students tell me it’s the highlight of their week and I agree 100%. Whether new to hip hop or a pro there is a place for you. All the teachers and students make it so much fun and if you’re looking for community and collaboration look no further. 7 stars from me

Kiwi Jac: My friend had learn to hip hop in a ‘30 before 30’ bucket list, so I checked the free trial by Anna. I was hooked - nek minnit Level 1 booked!I can’t believe I made it to performance night. I missed two sessions (my first covid caught from teaching friend how to make pasta from scratch on bucket list) which frazzled my energy and memory.Thanks Anna for enormous energy and encouragement along with piles of passion and patience. I’ve had an amazing journey and surprised myself with remembering most of the choreography. Still hooked andLevel 2 booked!

Isabella Francis: My level 1 experience last term was AMAZING!! Our instructor Anna showed positive, happy vibes during each class. She taught us awesome dance moves without making us feel intimidated or uncomfortable in any way. I recommend this class to anyone slightly interested in hip hop, as the experience combines learning some moves, meeting nice people, getting out the negative energy and stress, and just having so much FUN!! Thank you, very much appreciated :)

Mary Egan: I absolutely loved my beginners class with Groove Zone Sydney. Our instructor, Anna Q was brilliant - enthusiastic, kind and a great dance instructor. Good, friendly people in the class! I highly recommend this experience! Go for it!

Zeina H: Enjoyed every second of it. The energy, the instructors, and the feeling after every lesson. Big thank you for the work you put in and the environment you create for someone like me who has never danced before. A lovely sense of community. Definitely coming back for another 8-week experience💃.

Hannah Frank: The most fun you can have with your clothes on! Perfect for total beginners and options to advance to slightly more challenging classes as you grow in confidence.Yolanda, Phillipe and Anna are incredibly passionate and talented teachers and it's a joy to attend classes each week and shake off the week's stress.Everyone is super down to earth, friendly and non judgemental - there's a real community vibe that is really hard to find at other dance schools and the dopamine hits hard.

Aleksandar Trofin: First time doing a dance class in 30 years of life and couldn't have had a better experience. The instructors, Yolanda, Anna and Phillipe are masters of helping you find and cross the edge of your comfort zone. Highly recommended for beginners and for those with experience.

Marija Castellari: The hip-hop lessons are the highlight of my week! The teachers, Anna & Phillipe, are so passionate about teaching their students beginners (Level 1 & 2) adult hip-hop classes - their joy is infectious. It’s the right level of stepping out of your comfort zone (while feeling supported throughout) and doing something absolutely fun! 💃.

vanessa stafford: GrooveZone isn’t just a place where you dance, it’s where you build a community of amazing friends from all walks of life! I absolutely live for my weekly dose of fun, exercise, challenge, and growth!Vanessa - Sydney

Daniel A: Such great teachers for all level. Really enjoy their passion. Will join again!!

Romonda Eid: WOW! This is an amazing environment! Carefree, fun, exciting and most importantly WELCOMING! Anna Que is such an awesome and skilled teacher with such a bright and bubbly personality to follow! Cannot wait until the classes are up and running again! If you are looking for a new and exciting way to lose weight, have a laugh AND learn how to dance.. THIS IS IT! HIGHLY recommended! :-) xx

Dani Paryce: By far the best place to begin your hip hop journey! Anna and Yolanda make sure that you are well equipped with the most fundamental hip hop grooves so that your practice is built from a solid foundation.Too many beginner classes are far too advanced for a real beginner and it makes it hard to advance to the next stage.The level 2 class is a perfect step up from level 1 and is more choreography based where you can implement all of the fundamentals from level 1 and start to flow and grow into your natural style.A safe and supportive space where everyone is trying something new and stepping out of their comfort zone together.Highly recommend!

Elise Cociuban: Anna Que & Yolanda are fantastic. I have learned great basic moves that are adaptable to any groovy song - let alone a few cool little routines. They create a positive and encouraging atmosphere, and I simply love the songs they pick. Highly recommend for real beginners who need to start somewhere without feeling judged :)

Bella & Renee: We have the best time every single lesson at Hip Hop Dance Courses. Incredibly positive, no pressure environment with great self esteem building and fun to be had - do it - you know you want to!!

Irene Apostolakis: Even though it’s very early stages I’m loving the course so far. Yolanda is a fantastic trainer who is full of energy. She makes us all feel comfortable with our awkward moves and really breaks everything down so that its not overwhelming 😉

Duong Tran: This place has an awesome vibe. A really fun, vibrant and welcoming place to learn hip-hop. Thanks Yolanda and team!

Happy N: Tom is a fantastic trainer! I enjoyed the music, the routine and more importantly the crews! I always look forward to the next session. Great job Wendy, Tom and Yolanda!

Matthew Kay: Anna - you’re amazing! Thank you for an awesome class, week after week!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone looking for a fun energetic class!

Jess B: Supportive, motivational and fun. Anna Que is an amazing teacher. Highly recommend.

Wendy Pearce: Just did the free trial class tonight with Anna in Marrickville and it was so much fun!The energy in the class was amazing with lots of people from all different levels grooving it out.Anna was great at making everyone feel welcome and included, by building on the basics we learnt at the beginning of class.I really enjoyed getting back into it after a long break. Looking forward to the theme nights, especially Michael Jackson! Signing up tonight!!!!

Divyanshu Virmani: Critical:Communication,Professionalism

Darcy Singleton: Positive:Communication,ProfessionalismGood courses for beginners.

K S (Parps): Hosted a great krump event, warm open venue fantastic location

Y M: Really good teachers and friendly environment. The class size isn’t too big so it makes it quite comfortable to move around

Hiu Yeung Tse: if your looking for friends, this is the place

Cissy Kang: We booked private couple dance lessons & choreography/music with Karen for our wedding first dance and absolutely loved the experience. They are very well priced, highly creative, professional and high-energy. We have gotten an endless array of compliments for our dance (surprise switch from Whitney Houston to hiphop mash-up). We chose our favourite songs and Karen channeled & interpreted our vision to create an amazing result, even beyond our expectations.

Alex Chappelle: i don't recommend this place. some of the instructors seemed so inexperienced and came to class unprepared. i hate when they tried to make up something on the spot.

L Anonymous: THIS PLACE IS LIKE A MONEY SUCKING MACHINE! My kid has been going there for 3 weeks now and every time he came back, he would tell me that he needed to pay for either classes or some weird looking shirts or performance. How is there so much to pay to dance???!!! The worst part is he also called them the "family" STOP TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE YOUNG KIDS PEOPLE!

Kamal Krishna: Lots of choice in styles. Good place to learn.

Daryl Morante: Loving the new location and upgraded studios! It feels brand new every time I walk in. Toilets are always clean and my favourite... the extra sprung floors!

Kaison Wang: The class was okay, a little too crowded. But I didn't like the attitude the reception guy gave me. I won't go again.

Lisa Teng: I love the lights in this studio and I love the floor. Sprung boards mean many hours of happy dancing for me :]

Andrew Chong: Outstanding. I have never had a better dance experience than at DK

Lenny Fung: DanceKool is Sydneys first street style dance studio and has an outstanding faculty of teachers and atmosphere to learn dance!

Kian Lee: Fabulous! Loved the teachers there. Great vibe!

William Chung: Nice Teacher !! Nice techniques!!

MJS Social: Fresh AF studios. Dope classes.

AleiraMarie Rovira: I love DANCEKOOL, I feel comfortable here, everyone is so nice, they're like family. Phi at the front desk is very friendly and really nice.The Teachers and classes are really great and the choreography is always amazing. I love it when we have performances.

Rayne Lee: Great atmosphere, teachers and fun. A great way to place to learn and meet people or even just chill on a weekend (weekday too).

Masaki Kikuchi: Awesome location , friendly teachers and place to meet people who like street dance!!

Candy Au: My two girls improved so much with their dance skills with Like Dance. A great dance studio to deliver great results. 👍

Veronika Protasova: One of the best dance schools for kids in Sydney.

D Allen: My daughter has been attending L.I.K.E for a couple of years and we highly recommend this dance studio. Everyone is extremely professional and also passionate about dance and we have seen so much improvement since my daughter began. The concerts are amazing and really enjoyable. Thank you to all the team.

Tania Tatartsava: Studio that makes dancers! Highly professional choreographers, kind and friendly atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

Faina Marat: My daughter has been attending Like Dance since she turned 4, now she is 7 and i believe she achieved a lot for her age:) i would like to thank Helen, Lana, Katetina and other teachers for being attentive and supportive for every single time when it needed. Love to see how grow and improve professionally our kids every day. Yumi absolutely loves to come there and sometimes even, after all hardworking, wanna stay longer. Thanks guys for all you professionalism hardworking, dedication, friendly environment and friendship. We are ALL LIKE-family!

Amna Bahry: Positive:Quality,ValueKaterina is a fantastic teacher as are all the teachers. Our little one has had the best time during her 1st term and the classes have helped build her confidence. We were worried that she would be terrified to go in stage for the concert but she ended up having the best time!! Highly recommend L.I.K.E Dance studios.

Arina Smelova: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,Value

Igors Borisovs: Positive:Quality

Malini Joseph: Excellent service

Alexander Zenkov: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueHappy to deal with. Highly recommended

Kaya Lyons: Critical:Communication,ProfessionalismVery dismissive, arrogant & no interest to find out more or extend service. As an elite dancer would not dance for such a company.

Irina Chernysheva: Positive:Professionalism,Quality

Natasha Shkarupa: My girls love their dance and acrobatics classes in L.I.K.E Dance studio. We have watched them grow, learn new skills and gain strength and confidence during their time at the studio.It has been a strange year, but the studio went above and beyond organising free daily Zoom classes during COVID-19 shutdown.Cannot recommend highly enough.

Barış Çiçek: Incredible dance teaching! So passionate and professional. I am amazed by my daughters’ and the team performance in the first competition they attended. Great technique and choreography. Good job Helen, Lana, Eli and the rest. Keep up the good work and keep getting all the medals in Sydney!P.S. do not pay attention to bad reviews as this is not a kindergarten dance class, it is professional and the teachers have discipline.

Kateřina Novotná: Positive:Professionalism,QualityThe best dance studio in Sydney!Highly recommended!

One Plus: My little daughter is afraid from joining any dance class because of the trauma the dance instructor Elena gave. Elena was rude and she never encouraged her to dance, rather always forced her. She needs to learn how to talk with little ones and enable every single child for success. Please avoid favouritism as this discourages entire class. Please understand that you need to motivate and inspire beginners and bring joy to dancing and just not prepare them for a dance show.The centre will not grow if Instructors are like Elena. Elena, if you read this ever - then please become humble and encourage little kids. DON'T BE A REASON THAT THEY COME OUT OF YOUR CLASS CRYING AND DEMOTIVATED.

pb chung: very nice experience to dance with ELI via ZOOM^^thank you very much

Claire Wei: My daughter really enjoy her lesson with Lana. Thanks so much.

lana.borisova Borisova: Each year L.I.K.E.Dance Studio is awarded as Top Studio Sydney, Studio of Excellence, The Best Studio in different dance competition. We are proud to belong to L.I.K.E.Dance family.

Jing Chen: Absolutely disappointed of the service I received. Reason why I give 1 star: 1, inconsistent quality of teaching. After Danced there for 4 years, witnessed many good teachers left the studio, realised that my last teacher who stayed there was just a recently trained amateur. He had been teaching me wrong things/steps and was unable to identity some significant posture issues than can be easily corrected. I found out it from an occasional class with the manager.2, No client-centric attitude. Before I left the studio, I had a quarrel with my teacher for unable to perform some of the stretches he instructed me to do cuz I was physically stressed by work at that time. Then instead of adjusting the movements to cater my condition, the teacher had a go one me, started accusing me of being disrespectful and ungrateful for his work. Then, he started boasting how easily he would do those movements and questioning if I was using my work as excuses to not perform those stretches. I was shocked by his “all over himself” egoist attitude and had a mental breakdown. Apparently no one at the studio that time knew or trained to knew how to handle this situation. So, when I finally struggled to get up the couch, I left the studio hearing a “sorry” accompanied with “but Im not feeling respected”.3, Poor management. After the incident I emailed the studio asking for a break from my classes and a word with the manager, trying to solve this matter, but I received an email of class booking with the manager, along with the manager’s promise to discuss the matter after class. However, i was benched for 10mins after my class because the manager immediately started the next class. Without a notice of waiting time, I realised that the studio didn’t understand the severity of this matter and didn’t really care about my well-being or losing me as a client. They have also ignored my request to contact via email, and kept calling me via my phone, it imposed lots of distress on me knowing that those calls might came from the teacher. And I was right, because they did send the teacher to call me, trying to fix the problem while it was totally inappropriate to do that. In the whole process, I didn’t receive any managerial attention that I requested (and they promised) except for the class I paid for. So I left the studio with 4-5 classes unused for the sake of my health.4. Cash-cow scenario. Just to echo with a comment below, the reason why I didn’t take classes with the manager even though he was a better dancer/teacher, was because I can feel how his attitude/facial expression changes whenever I refused to sign up a show case(spend more money). Additionally, how he tries to minimise the body contact while the body contact was unavoidable in ballroom dancing.5, if you wandering why there are still some good reviews here, think about whether you’re rich, capable and fluent in English that enables you to constantly hold your boundary and push back?One last word, I do not wish the studio to contact me in any way cuz I’m not going to delete my review, or change my opinion, because my feelings are legit.

Ann Tempest: Fabulous studio great instructorsWe have a great time at our socials lots of fun dancing and socializing with friends I have met through the studioWould highly recommend Arthur Murray Sydney 💃💃💃

Tersh Bunsee: Fantastic teachers, professional, creative & personable. Very friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend private lessons & group classes for all levels.

Ping Yan: I have been there for a month and going to start a new program later. I have private classes with Shane and he is so energetic, professional and helpful. Highly recommended.

Natalie Parengkuan: We chose to go with Arthur Murray to learn our wedding dance routine and it was one of the best decisions we made in the lead up to the day. Liberty choreographed such a fun and unique dance for us, and Matt and Shane both helped up polish our performance too. Coming here every week in the lead up became a regular little date night for us. I would definitely recommend this team for any couples wanting a great wedding dance.

Anna L: Matt, Alfredo, Shane and the team taught us our wedding dance routine over 5 classes, in the week and a half leading up to our wedding date. They were so dedicated to making sure we were ‘dance-ready’, Matt even stayed with us a tad longer to help us see through our routine until we felt comfortable. We’re so grateful for their guidance, moral support, and particularly their patience and enthusiasm. Thanks again!! We will continue to do our little dance routine wherever we can!!

Thomas Haemmerle: My wife and I have been learning to dance with Arthur Murray Sydney for a year now and we're so happy we found them! The level of professionalism and experience of the teachers is exceptional and the whole team creates a supportive atmosphere filled with joyful energy which we makes us happy every time we walk through the door. A fantastic experience all around, plus learning to dance is the best thing any couple can do together!

Eunice Li: It is an amazing experience dancing in here! Teachers are skillful, experienced, nice and patient. And I am so lucky to have Simon as my teacher who patiently teaches and leads me from knowing nothing about ballroom or latin dance to be able to do differnt kinds of social dance! To go to dance in private or group class after work is one of the happiest thing for me now!

Hala Zreiqat: I started dancing for the first time in my life when I decided to join Arthur Murray CBD in January 2016. Stepping into the doors of this studio has certainly been a life changing experience to me and one that I will treasure for the rest of my life. I am in the studio almost every night (time permits), either taking private classes, group classes or merely watching the excellent teachers and students dancing. All of the instructors are highly skilled and talented and most importantly passionate about dancing. I feel very privileged to start my dancing journey with the highly talented Dean whose patience and perseverance cemented my passion and love for dancing. Learning to dance can be very challenging, the instructors at Arthur Murray CBD focus on teaching students to use correct dance technique. The studio’s policy encourages you to have exchange private classes with different teachers, while at the beginning the thought of changing teachers did not appeal to me, later I realised how important this is. I now dance with Simon, Martin and Amanda, all outstanding instructors and I love every minute of my classes with each and every one of them. The experience has certainly enriched me with new aspect of dance styles, and most importantly gave me the flexibility to dance with a different dance partners. What really impressed me with this studio is that last minute cancellation of classes never incur any cancellation fees. Every time I call to cancel my private classes, Chris and Kate are always happy to reschedule at a time that suits me. They care about their students, if you call in sick your instructor always calls to ensure you are OK, a very nice gesture. I love this place with its beautiful people and friendly instructors. I hope to be able to stay with Arthur Murray CBD for many years to come, certainly the place to be if you are keen to learn dancing. Thanks to Arthur Murray’s friendly gorgeous staff, I am now in love with dancing.

Eleanor Gough: I was simply looking to learn swing dancing; so that I could finally get up on the dance floor.Within a couple of lessons at Arthur Murray Sydney I knew I'd found a Lifelong Passion!! Where I was introduced to the whirlwind of Ballroom & Latin Dancing.Almost 4 years later I can without a doubt say that Arthur Murray Sydney is a Wonderful dance studio.All one on one lessons are tailored specifically to your, the students, needs & wants.The dance instructors are ever so patient, caring, motivating, dedicated & passionate.Through the free group classes and social dance parties I have made many beautiful friends. The studio is definitely my home away from home.

Anita Quinn: Arthur Murray is a very inclusive and welcoming dance family for people of all dance levels and backgrounds. I’ve been dancing here for almost two years and it is a pleasure to see fellow students become friends and find confidence in themselves through dancing.

Yan Chen: I love this place where teaches me loving life! Everyone is assigned to a skillful teacher with customised plan. 2 years time in the studio and learning with my best teacher Simon is truly one of best things in my life. Looking forward to more adventures with the studio, teachers and dance friends.

Gregory Curry: Great teachers, fun events. A great place to learn to dance!

Nicky G: Walking into AM studio was the best thing I've ever done for myself, it's been a truely magical experience thanks to all the lovely staff there

Thuy-Vi Truong: Please do not go there. It's very expensive and the teachers are not interested in actually teaching you to become a better dancer. All you are to them are cash cows. Our teacher wouldn't even call us by name but instead kept calling us "Mr" and "Mrs" which was so impersonal. We went there with the goal to learn a dance for our wedding, but instead of that they just wanted to put us on monthlong programs and lock us into a contract where we would only learn the basics instead of a choreography.They put a lot of pressure on us to sign and nearly had a panic attack when we said we wanted some time to think about it.We very much regret going there in the first place. Trust the reviews on here and save yourself some money. There are better dance studios out there.

Brad Wainer: Biggest rip off. Do not go here.

Philipp Grozinger: Bill is an absolute legend, would highly recommend for anyone interested in learning how to dance a wide variety of styles. The combination of private and group lessons is really good!

Mind Health Transformation Jo: What a great studio. Do yourself a favor and bring back some joy with learning how to dance.Thank you Bill for your professionalism, patience and gift of teaching.

Stacey Whitmore: We had an amazing date night experience with Bill. He taught us the basics to dance the Rumba and it was so much fun. If you are looking for a dance lesson in Sydney then I definitely recommend Bill. Thanks for a great evening.

Paul Potter: I’ve been a dance client of William Maslin School of Dance for nearly 3 years and love every moment of it.Suffering from a chronic Illness affecting my movement, balance and hearing impairment, my teacher Stina with support from Bill and Tanya have ensured my ballroom dance experience is one of joy. The team have been able to support my challenges in ensuring that I too, can dance with others with confidence and exhilaration.Each of the team members have played a role in supporting my goals with professionalism and care, even on my worst days the team instantly turn it around allowing me to leave the studio with relief and elation, that no matter what, I too can dance.

Wai Yin Kwok: Very disappointed by the customer service here and will not be coming again. Staff/teacher member called Bill, was very rude and disrespectful. He literally had me escorted out of the building but i wanted to wait for my friend, who was inside the class that i could not attend just cause i was only 10mins late. I attended the class the week before and the class was ok, just average but the teacher was nice shame it didn't work out.

Diane Hacking: Thankfully found these guys when seeking dance lessons for our wedding. They turned something that we felt we had to do (reluctantly so) into something that we wanted to do (eagerly so). The lessons gave us much more confidence on our wedding day, and made our First Dance so much more enjoyable - not just for us, but also for those who had to watch! What surprised us the most was we had so much fun actually learning. We soon started to look forward to our lesson and had fun practising at home too. Stina was a great teacher. She listened to our needs (and fears!) Was patient. Creative. Fun. Thank you so much for contributing to our special day.

Matthew Kennedy: Absolutely top class. Bill is a super teacher - patient, clear and a real expert in his field. We tried a 4 dances over 4 weeks and it was enjoyable, fun and a great learning environment. Highly recommend.

Gabrielle Sheehan: We went to William Maslin Dance Studios for lessons for our first dance for our wedding day. Stina was an amazing instructor and made every lesson so enjoyable and the moves so easy to learn for our different learning styles! We really enjoyed the lessons and everyone loved our first dance (which was a success without me tripping over my dress and with the moves looking very fluid and impressive for two non-dancers!) We would definitely recommend William Maslin for wedding dance lessons for other couples!!

Brian Vo: Did the date night package on a Saturday. We chose bachata and it was an awesome session. Partner really enjoyed it and Bill is as great as any instructor out there! Would highly recommend (:

Kya Porter: Bill and Tanya are fantastic. Definitely recommend ☺️

Carissa van Egdom: My partner and I had such an enjoyable time learning our wedding dance with Bill and team. They were always prepared, patient and made the whole experience fun. We certainly looked forward to our lessons each week - highly recommend!

Tom Worrall: Such good fun. Great learning techniques even for the most uncoordinated of students.Couldn't recommend highly enoughJoined as new students learning our wedding dance (chacha) and attended a few group classes to try out more dance styles.

Imogen Ewing: Professional without losing the wonderfully personal and amazingly friendly vibe of an intimate studio - the instructors really take the time to get to know you and what you're looking for from their classes and give awesome directed advice.The variety of classes on offer is incredible

Vivian Huang: My husband and I learned our wedding dance here last year and had the best experience with Bill and Stina. The studio is a run by a lovely couple who are very professional yet create a very personal & tailored experience for their clients. We visited other dance studios in the city & lower north shore but they felt a lot more like cookie cutter lessons. I've also been a fitness student for over a year and they run amazing classes with a big focus on posture at the same time to prevent injuries. They look out for each of their students and chats to everyone so it all feels like an one big family. I used to be members at both Virgin Active and Fitness First and am so glad I switched!

Stellar Aphid: From the moment we stepped into the dance studio to the moment we stepped onto the dance floor, we knew that we were in very good hands. My partner Christopher and I have had very little experience in dancing and Stina our talented dance teacher made us look and feel great and confident in preparation for our wedding day. Our wedding dance ended up being the highlight of our night!The staff at the dance studios are super friendly and inviting. They really make you feel like you are part of a close family. The teaching instruction was well thought out and planned right from the start and they were very accommodating when it came to teaching us a wedding dance that matched songs we chose. We always knew what the lesson focus was and was clear as to what the program we paid for involved. Chris and I could not have been in better hands and Stina was so patient and easy to communicate with (especially with our dance program being interrupted by covid!). Thank you Stina for being such an outstanding dance teacher!Now that we are married we will be definitely be back for some regular dance lessons!Thank you William Maslin Dance Studios for making our wedding dance memorable!

Sarah McKelvie: I couldn't recommend William Maslin Dance Studios more highly! My partner and I took a series of lessons to learn a routine for our wedding dance. William created an individual and tailored plan to help us progress each week in the lead up to our wedding. As novice dancers, William was patient and understanding, introducing new steps at a comfortable pace. I always looked forward to our dance classes and really enjoyed the process. It truly is a welcoming and friendly space. By the end of the sessions, we felt confident in our wedding dance and couldn't of wished for better experience. I will definitely be back.

Shez Kerina: This studio is an absolute life saver. Always so warm and welcoming as I walk in. Elisa is the best yoga teacher I’ve had and always caters to everyone’s capabilities. I’ve felt big improvements in my technique since I started coming here 8 months ago. Highly recommend!

B. B.: My wife and I wanted to learn a dance for our wedding in 2019 - and we decided to use William Maslin Dance Studios.It was some of the best money we spent on our entire wedding.The studio is new, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and there is absolutely no problem if you have never danced before (which was my wife and I).They provided us one-on-one lessons, group classes and monthly dance social events - so we were very well prepared by the time our wedding came around. And the wedding dance turned out beautifully.I highly recommend this place if you are wanting to learn to dance for a wedding or even just for fun. Totally worth it.

Andy Zhang: Bill is a great teacher and actually made the lessons fun and very enjoyable! I had initially strongly refused to go through with the dance but I was sold after the first lesson:)Thanks Bill!

Lisa and Liam: Wonderful dance studio in the city. Bill and Tanya were fantastic, breaking steps down for us (as we were complete beginners) and taking their time to teach us at our pace.Would highly recommend lessons and social dancing to beginners and experienced dancers.Thank you both for all your help developing and perfecting our wedding dance!

Cindy Li: The best dance teacher anyone could ever ask for. Cristina taught us our bridal waltz and even though we had no experience dancing at all, she had so much faith and encouraged us to dance. We left her lessons more confident each time and eventually at our wedding all the guests were so moved by the dance. Cristina is just the best ❤️❤️❤️

Carole Green: I have been going to Saturday morning Zumba classes at Summer Hill for about 5 years and absolutely love it! I'm over 50 and was nervous to join at first because I thought it wouldn't be fit enough, but i couldn't have been more wrong. It is such a warm, positive fun class and Cristina caters for all ages and fitness levels.Everyone dances/works out at their own pace and it is completely supportive and non judgemental. Cristina is an amazing professional dancer and seeing her move is very inspirational.I'm so much fitter, slimmer and more flexible since joining and wouldn't miss my Saturday morning sessions for anything!!

Louise Roberts: My husband and I have just loved our weekly dance classes with Cristina. She has endless patience, always positive and constructive, and we find her enthusiasm infectious. Cristina works hard to accommodate all skills, and singles / partners, in short a wonderful teacher!

anna volonakis: Since beginning dance classes with Cristina more than 5 years ago it has totally changed my life. Not only can I go out to social dance my Latin moves, but now also compete in Dance Competitions, which for my age is not a small thing.It has given me confidence, the best exercise & workout, but the joy & fun in learning & performing complex dance steps is the ultimate especially as Cristina & her team are excellent choreographers.Did I mention I also love being part of her Romanian dance troop. Love it so much.Thank you so much for all the opportunities & encouragement from you Cristina you are the best.

K M: From the very first salsa and merengue class back in July 2018, I fell in love with Sydney Dance Rhythms. In such a short time, I have learnt so much from the lovely Cristina who has helped me come a very long way; from a complete beginner to a confident competitor. Her experience, warmth and patience makes every class I attend so fun and enjoyable.Thank you Cristina for sharing your knowledge, love and passion for dance with me. It makes me so happy to be a part of such an amazing dance school.

Daniel Rusin: When I first started, back in December 2017, I could barely dance at all. Cristina's wonderful teaching of Ballroom and Latin styles has turned me into a far better dancer and given me a huge confidence boost since.Very friendly and professional and an amazing choreographer. Will definitely be returning to get wedding dance lessons when the time comes.

Shirish Tayshete: My experience with SDR Parramatta has been frustrating & disappointing. I called the owner & booked an appointment with her couple of times & on both the occasion she didn't turn up.Further to add, I had interaction with a member of SDR who was taking hip hop classes & found her rude & unprofessional. I requested her to assess my kid in owners absence, and for 30 minutes she didn't even bother to look at what my kid is doing & was a sheer waste of time.Overall, worst ever experience I had with SDR. They are very unprofessional & won't recommend it to anyone.

Valerie Ringland: Where else will you find Romanian dance, as well as Zumba and many types of kids' classes? Classes are held in a church in Summer Hill with big, beautiful wooden floors. Cristina who leads the business is not only passionate about dance, she is a community-builder. At the Christmas show last year so many people showed up to set up decorations, prepare food, and watch the dance performances by students of all ages.

Stephanie Forsmann: My daughter loves this dance school. The teachers are very experienced and lots of fun. Being part of the competition troupe with its demands and responsibilities has allowed my daughter to mature to become more responsible and grow personally.

Carmel Quinn: My son has attended SDR for 2.5 years and has gone from strength to strength. Cristina, Rey and their talented team of dance teachers have created a program which is primarily fun for all but also offers kids the opportunity to progress their dance technique, to compete and to perform at festivals if they choose to do so. It is wonderful for fitness, flexibility and confidence! Thank you to Cristina and her team - we hope to be with you for many years to come.

C&S: We did a Salsa and Meringue class - Cristina is an excellent, charming teacher and the class was a great deal of fun. No pressure, no sense of competition, just a chance to have a good time and learn some new skills - and get some exercise at the same time. Highly recommended!

Aina Musaeva: My daughter enjoys the Hip Hop classes so much. The teacher is an amazing dancer AND is great with kids, they all love her. Kids get MANY opportunities to perform from essentially day one, which make this school a great community, not just a great dance school.

Ben Goodbrand: If Cris can teach me and my beautiful wife to waltz for our wedding she can teach anybody! Our daughter loves the kids classes too. Highly recommended for any type of dancing you want to learn.

Dave Slez: My son has been enjoying HipHop classes with Sydney Dance Rhythms and he LOVES it! The instructors have all been awesome, very professional, able to relate well to the kids and they have the perfect mix of technical dance teaching and fun. I highly recommend this school, run by passionate people who genuinely love to share dance with their students!

Karli Guilfoyle: My 2 daughters are having a great time each week doing the jazz/contemporary dance class. The teacher is great with the kids! She is so encouraging and energetic. Cristina is very welcoming and friendly, and clearly passionate about dance. I highly recommend Sydney dance rhythms for anyone who wants to learn dance in a fun and supportive environment.

Nick Velicicu: One of the best dance studio in Sydney, the staff are extraordinary with kids, it's fun and easy going with dancing. Thank you Cristina for your time and effort that you put in to this.

Nikita Prasad: Cristina helped us choreograph our first dance at our wedding. She was incredibly professional, patient and flexible with our busy schedules. She also has a great way of working with non-dancers and addressing their concerns. Within the first lesson we had made so much progress! I highly recommend all couples looking for a dance instructor for their first dance to book with Cristina and Sydney Dance Rhythms.

Elena-Andrada VLADU: The Saturday's Zumba class is a must to attend. Cristina is a great teacher, very interactive and positive. Also SDR is close to public transport at just a couple of minutes from train station.

Takis Constantopedos: I have had a great time in the last 2 years attending Cristina's evening dance classes. They are fun and instructive and I have developed the confidence and skills to take to the dance floor and dance the salsa, cha cha, swing and my favourite, the tango. Cristina also has incredible people skills and her warmth and generosity of spirit helps her students feel engaged. Thank you Cristina. See you again this coming year.

Yana Miller: Every dance class feels like a party celebration while we get to learn technique from incredibly qualified, professional and friendliest of teachers. I had the privilege of learning Latin American styles from Skye Wilson, Serge Linnik, Karina Schembri and Benny Rozen, enjoying every minute. The studio atmosphere is always light-hearted, cosy and warm, bringing people together and ensuring a good time is had. On top of the variety of levels and dance styles offered there are also different pricing packages available according to the frequency of attendance, a very individual approach. Highly recommend!!

Sarah Drake: Positive:Communication,Quality,ValueWe did the 5 lesson package to learn the first dance for our wedding. I never thought that someone would be able to make us look so good on the dance floor! Ash was an amazing teacher and the process was really fun. We loved it, and would highly recommend.

Edward Todd: Very good and friendly

Francesca A: We had 5 dance lessons with Ash to prepare for our wedding dance. Ash was the ideal teacher - he was patient with a first time dancer, made us feel comfortable and was always energetic, fun and made us laugh the whole time. The dance classes were the best part of planning the wedding. As for the final product, our friends and family were blown away by the dance and no toes were stepped on during the course of the performance! - Francesca & Jad

Vanessa L: My husband and I are complete dance beginners and we took lessons with Susan to learn our first dance at our wedding. We can’t speak of Susan highly enough. She is a great teacher and put together an amazing routine to the song we chose. All our family and friends were blown away with our first dance! Thank you Susan!!

Kevin Kuan: Benny was great and so patient with us with our first dance. He choreographed everything and was flexible, giving us options on what moves we could do in our dance. Highly recommended 👍👍👍

Ed E: Benny is a wonderful and patient instructor. Can’t recommend him highly enough.

Sunil: One if the best dance schools. So many levels to choose from if you want get back to dancing.

Swan George: Great dance school, staff are so friendly and supportive environment. Love it ❤️

Kate Colgan: My husband and I had our wedding dance lessons with Benny. He was absolutely amazing! Neither of us have any dance experience but Benny was so patient and such a great teacher! We had so much fun learning the dance and it was one of our favourite parts of the whole wedding! We highly recommend Benny and his wonderful studio!

Wonder grace: Had 3 classes with Benny for my wedding first dance, he was so friendly and patient. The greatest thing was we can pick the song we like and Benny will design the steps accordingly. It was great experience because my partner and I both not good at dancing.

Christopher Imrie: My wife and I did 5 private lessons with Benny before our wedding. We could not have been happier with how it went. Benny put together a dance that was simple for us to learn but was fun and exciting. The screams and cheers from our friends during the first lift made it all worth it! Benny was an excellent teacher and great guy, would recommend this centre to anyone looking.

santiago luperdi: Benny is patient, accommodating and very professional. We definitely made the right choice having Benny choreograph and teach us our First Dance for our wedding whilst being very patient and always giving us choices

Jenny Chen: My husband and I took private classes with Benny for our wedding dance. Benny was a great teacher, patient and choreographed a dance that suited our (limited) dance ability. My husband and I have never danced but we enjoyed it so much under Benny's guidance and would come back for group classes.

Sarah Barnard: Zumba here is the best Zumba in Sydney! A great dance centre with fabulous instructors.

Anna Scolastico: My husband and I went to Crows Nest Dance Centre to learn our first dance for our wedding with Benny and we could not be happier!! Benny was amazing! He was so accommodating and such a good teacher. Clear in all his directions and always made sure we were comfortable with what we were doing. On the night the dance was a hit!!! Everyone could not get over what we did.thank you so much Benny!

M Siu: Came to learn our first dance for our wedding. It didn’t take Benny (instructor) long to come up with the choreography. With no dancing background we were able to accomplish this with 4 X 45min lessons. Would highly recommend!

Cinthia Nascimento: This review is from a instructor point of view. I needed to find a place to teach my mini trampoline classes ((BOUNCE)) as I had some trouble in another studio. Benny was amazing in seeing me with such short notice and organised everything so quickly that within a week I was able to change studios. This studio is just amazing! It has a high ceiling (with lots of jump we would need it), you can control the sets of light you want on, there’s lots of power points around the hall so you can connect disco lights (or other things), mirrors for end to end, aircon, fans and a very friendly manager willing to help you at anytime. If you are looking for a place to hire this is the place. Just love it! :)

Kristen Lizzio: The Zumba and Bounce classes at Crows Nest Dance are AMAZING! The instructors are full of energy and the value for money is on point. Well worth a visit!

Jennifer Herb: Benny was a fantastic teacher. My husband and I came for a private lesson on a date night. We had so much fun and plan on booking another lesson in the future.
