Dancewave

The Zumba classes here are amazing! Kuni has a real following because she makes it so much fun. The music is great and I’m always glad I showed up. It’s a great workout.

I discovered this place through Classpass.
Hip Hop classes with Rolanda! I love, love, love this class. Rolanda super talented. Her classes are always fun and energetic. Unlike many schools she actually teaches hip hop, not that cardio pop stuff that is often advertised as «hip hop.» She is able to adjust the class according to how well the class is picking up the moves. Anyone, I mean anyone can take this class! Its a judgement free zone.
The space is clean. Receptionist is friendly. The prices are also perfect!
The 182 4^th Ave is way farther closer to Union Street subway stop. The space was a bit bigger, but I wasnt a fan.

Went to a friday evening swing class at the 182 space. So. much. fun. It wasnt crowded at all. But I dont know why more people dont take it since it was great. The instructor, Rae (Ray?), was not just a good dancer, but a really good TEACHER of dance, unlike some other instructors I’ve had at other studios. (I’ve walked out of other dance classes in frustration before.) She also makes everyone feel really comfortable and have fun while learning a LOT in an hour. Easy to sign up for classes online. Good prices. No fees or any other bullshit that other studios pull. Plus this organization is a non-​profit so it made me want to support them.

Dancewave is conveniently located right off the Atlantic/​Barclays train station and just one block away from the Barclays Stadium. I have not taken a dance class with this studio per se, but have taken classes here with an instructor who rents the space.
The dance studio is small, but well kept with clean bathrooms, a clear entrance way and space to maneuver. The studio has nice wooden floors and large mirrors, always convenient for practicing dance and rehearsing a choreographed piece.
I did take off one star because the space is quite small and when the room gets full it’s difficult to «let loose» and branch out as a dancer. I found that it can feel cramped with upwards of 12 adults in the room. Nonetheless, this is NYC and space is hard to come by anywhere!
All in all, a conveniently located, well maintained studio that is perfect for small dance classes and workshops.

I tried a class for NYC dance week and then brought a sweet and affordable package on a daily deal site for 6 more zumba classes.
The zumba classes are taught by Suki? on Mon and Weds and they will be adding ga Sunday class around noon I believe. I enjoyed the classes — they were high intensity and the instructor introduces new choreography for 2 to 3 songs every week to keep things fresh.
The drawbacks —
small space. It can get really crowded, especially since they seem to do a lot of daily deal promotions. However, the space comfortably holds about 12 people. Most of the time when you enter the studio tons of people are waiting in the small waiting room because there’s another class going on and it can get uncomfortably tight since there is minimal seating and everyone wants to get into the classroom first to stake out a good spot.
Also, I recommended for two people to take classes at dance wave and they bought packages on my recommendation however they have no plan in place to award customers who bring new customers. #fail
The good–
Convenient location /​close to subway (1 block to atlantic avenue station — across the street from barclays).
Friendly, energetic and upbeat instructor who looks the part
Affordable classes if you can snag a deal

It was NYC Dance Week and the perfect opportunity to audition dance studios. I signed up for the Zumba class, and I was not a fan. I am in no way a Zumba expert, nor will I ever claim to be one. My previous classes in other settings has always had a Latin foundation so imagine how lost I was when we did more hip hop then Latin. Despite the affordability of their classes, I doubt that I’ll be back. The studio was small, it can maybe hold about 15 –20 people. It’s located two blocks away from the Atlantic Avenue train station so accessibility isn’t an issue. The instructor and regular students were nice, but I’ll have to pass.

Everyone is insanely nice and passionate about dance. Amazing place to go to adult classes and try out something new. You definitely won’t become a pro with the 1 hour classes, but you’ll learn a few things and get some good exercise!

Have been here for the Sunday yoga classes and adult classes. It’s a super great deal for dance in New York. The yoga is very relaxing. The ballet class was pretty fast paced and do I dare say, a little snotty. Not the teacher, he seemed cool, but the crowd just seemed a little stuck up.
They also have ZUMBA classes, which I have never taken and an assortment of dance classes. I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be back soon!

I purchased a Living Social Package and was excited to join Dancewave. However, I recently lost my home due to a fire and am still homeless. I called Dancewave (along with several other businesses I bought packages with) and asked if it was possible to get an extension since I had not yet started the package. All of the other businesses were very understanding and were happy to meet my needs EXCEPT for Dancewave. The woman just said «no, good luck with your life» and hung up on me. As you can imagine, this really really hurt, considering what I had just gone through. I wish I had an actual chance to try this place out, but due to what I feel is the heartless demeanor to their customer, I will never go. How unfortunate that I will never experience what these other people like so much about this place.

The creative ballet ii class my daughter took on thursday in park slope was awesome. The best class ive seen and she has taken classes at morris and brooklyn dance project. I was am a dancer as wel impressed. i did think the admin is not the nicest.

My now 12 yr old daughter has been taking dance classes at Dancewave for 2 yrs (jazz) and she just completed the Summer Intensive for the first time this summer. Dancewave has an amazing program, mainly because the great teachers create such inspiring work with the young dancers of all ranges of experience. The kids work hard, but love it and gain a real sense of accomplishment.

My daughter had a fabulous time doing the summer dance intesive. The took a chance and let her participate even though she was a little younger than the other students. They are really about celebrating Dancewave in all its forms and nurturing students love of dance. She cannot wait to start dance classes in the fall!
