The Space Dance & Arts Centre

I’ve been coming to the 80s Fit class for months now. It’s a fun and intense workout that is a dream come true for this 80s fan. It’s held twice weekly and is the best part of my work week! Thank you, Donna Flex!
There are loads of other classes, for those that are true dancers at heart, beginners or advanced, or if you are just looking for a good workout. I also recommend the hip hop classes so you can feel like you are in a music video. There truly is something for everyone.
The only reason it’s not getting 5 stars is because they need some serious renovations on the old rooms. Most fans do not work, windows do not open and it feels like a sauna even before class starts! Also, I don’t think they bother cleaning any of the rooms and it shows. If they invested a bit more in maintaining proper care for the rooms, I would be willing to shell out more per class.
If you don’t care about fancy dance floors or air con, then this is the spot. Good fun, dance, work out and be free. :)

I decided to take a jazz class while on holiday in Melbourne and this was one of the only studios that I could find with legit adult dance classes. A single class is $ 17 (while getting a class card is the cheapest option if you can go frequently). As a frequent student at Broadway Dance Center in NYC, this place is comparable, but with a much smaller crowd.
I took advanced jazz technique on Friday at 12:30, but had a sub teacher that I didn’t catch the name of. Her class was very fun and we warmed up to a lot of Beyonce (my fave)! It was pretty advanced paced, but intermediate technique level, which was a really good balance.
What I loved most was that it was a judgement free zone. My class had about 8 people total and the instructor picked up my name within minutes. Everyone in the class was very friendly and helpful, which is hard to get back in NYC with all of the competition. There were a few performers in the class as well and I never got a snobby vibe! It made the class really fun :)
Definitely worth taking a class. I hope to get back before the end of my holiday!
