Update: just wanted to add I've been taking classes on Sundays with CJ, and his choreography is really lovely and just the right amount of challenging. He's a very patient and positive instructor. All the stars for the instructors here!

Kate's class was on point! It was my first class so the intro was $14 instead of $16. I loved how we were moving for practically most of it. She had us start off with a warm up before teaching us the 3 8-count choreo. I was happy she was super friendly about repeating moves and slowly too. I just wish there was a bit more space. It felt a bit crammed in there, considering there were maybe 20 people in a medium sized room. I also found the tempo to be quick. She taught it slow but the song was super fast (Ja Rule's Clap Back). I def need to practice. I still had fun though (: I wanna come back!

You know you found the place with people anticipating the next class waiting out the door. Music blasting, smiles from across the way, good energy and enthusiastic cheering. That is what I came across on my first class. Accessing the schedule via online, easy class payment and doable pricing at that. I came for the Kpop class with Kyle Soriano. Dang, it was a full class. All age levels and dance experience levels. They have a cubby area for your belongings. Check in the office in the back before class. I loved how he broke the movements for the beginners like me. He gave the class great energy. It was the vibe throughout!!! The Kpop group was 7-8 and it went by so fast! Come early enough so you can find parking, it's all street parking. And especially if you want a good spot on the floor. Definitely a good time for yourself or with a friend. Especially if you love Kpop like me.

If you have always wanted to dance but were too afraid to or scared of looking silly or not being good at it, please come to in the Groove and try it out. I started coming to class as a total beginner, never had taken a dance class in my life. The teachers here have such an incredible wealth of knowledge to share and they create a welcoming and fun environment to learn how to move your body. All of the other students who go there are also so sweet and range from kids to doctors and teachers to grandmas and dads!!! No matter what age or skill level you are, you are welcome there. You can learn foundations from the beginner/intermediate classes and they have classes for advanced dancers too, with an impressive rotating block of world famous choreographers from the bay and from around the world! This studio has the most affordable classes probably in the whole bay and really has been a second home to me. Learning how to dance there has been single-handedly one of the most fulfilling things I could've started doing as an adult because of all of the friends And community I've built there, but more importantly, how it made me feel and the confidence it gave me, in and outside the studio. Some tips from me:1. The most affordable option is to get the 10-class pass which is truly the best deal. Trust me, you'll use all 10 classes in no time. 2. if you have a question about the studio or any classes, the best way to reach them is 100% Instagram DM. 3. To check in, go through the studio and visit the office that I'll be on the left side once you enter through the second door and someone will check u in!!!4. You should 100% say hi to someone and meet someone new every time that you go. Everyone is so nice and wants you to have a good time and it's nice to dance next to someone u met and see them again next time!! So if you're a beginner, you should definitely stop by for class and keep an open mind that it's OK to not get things the first time! Just have as much fun as you can and don't be too hard on yourself. You'll be grooving in no time.

Great walk-in dance studio! They take card, cash, class pass, Groupon, whatever pays. The schedule is online which you'll want to check out. The class was very fun and extremely full. I ended up liking that though cuz it was easy to bond with others over our awkward dancing. Some people were really good, definitely ready for intermediate or advanced. And the instructor was great at breaking down the moves and counting the steps out. I'm actually excited to go back to this place. A fun place to jam and loosen your limbs. Easy to follow choreo for beginners. Just get moving!

My first time here. I'm not gonna lie I was SCARED lol I DM'd Sondi and inquired if she had beginner classes available. Sondi said her class is a beginner class and everyone is learning. GREAT NEWS Class is only 8$ and one hour long I got there early found parking easily (street parking only and it's a Saturday so you still have to pay the meter)Sondi is a great instructor she communicates the instructions very well and makes it easy to learn and follow her. There is NO JUDGMENT. Other people in the class were easy going no drama no egos. It was everyone's first time there. The music you work out to is Great which makes it even easier to catch onThis is a fun way to work out. And TRUST ME IT IS A WORK OUT. I can't wait to go back next Saturday. Also another perk is if you bring a friend CLASS IS FREE

Took a class here last week and had such a blast! I took a beginner's Hip Hop class. You really just get thrown into it, so if you've never taken a dance lesson before it may seem very intimidating and confusing! But no one there looks down upon you; it's a pretty encouraging environment. It's a pretty small space though so it was fairly crowded. But I think that just speaks to how well the lessons are led and the moves that you learn!

Recently took a hip hop class at In the Groove for a friend's birthday and loved the experience!I'm very much a beginner level dancer, but our instructor was great and made learning the moves doable. I was hesitant due to my awkwardness, but felt so welcomed. He broke down each dance move and made it easy to sequence the moves together. We also did the dance moves with and without music (P Lo's Put Me On Somethin'!) which was helpful. Would definitely recommend their birthday party packages which includes your choice of song. It's such a different and fun experience for a group of friends. I wish In the Groove was closer to me, but would definitely return for a class with a group of friends.

I hesitate to write this review because the classes have been getting pretty full. But! when I was looking to try dance classes for the first time a few months ago I remember how intimidating it was so I'm writing this in the hopes it will help a beginner out there who is still just looking. If you are a beginning dancer who wants to try hip hop classes but are as scared as I was- this studio is GREAT. Dan, Samara and MoMo are stand out hip hop instructors that are great for beginners. Also the community that comes and takes classes here is incredibly welcoming and friendly.I've tried several other classes here too and they are all good. I've found something to love about every class I've taken. The studio itself is not glamorous but don't let that put you off, the classes here are super fun!
