Dance Central

The only thing I really like about Dance Central is its central location. I went on a Tuesday at 6pm to take hip-​hop from Luke. The studio lobby /​reception is small and strangely decorated (think op shop). I popped in the restroom to change into dance clothes and somehow managed to lock myself in there for a moment, which was terrifying. I attest that to the crappiness of the lock and not the stupidity of the operator, but who knows.
Class started and all 4 of us funneled into the tiny dance studio. It is bare bones, (sound system and mirror) and I have trouble believing a proper size class could fit inside. Luke’s instruction is good, especially if you’re a beginner. He breaks all the steps down and gives clear directions. Halfway through class, however, I broke down in a coughing fit because there was a wave of incense smoke streaming in from the hallway. As breathing is one of those essential things a person should do while dancing, I had to walk to reception and ask if they minded putting the incense out. Dance Central definitely has a relaxed, non-​intimidating vibe but for me, way too «chilled out dude.»

Wanna dance like Beyonce? Usher? Or maybe some salsa? hip hop perhaps? Or even hula hoop! Whatever rocks your boat, you’ll find a class or a workshop that will interest you at Dance Central Sydney.
I’ve done a few workshops where I learnt the routines from some of Beyonce’s video clips. And I’ve done a hip hop class. They were all really enjoyable and the teachers were entertaining and supportive of all the students in the class regardless of their dance level & experience. I get the sense that most of the classes are beginners and I found it much easier than the routines performed at Sydney Dance Company Studios for example. The classes are smaller and I feel the students don’t feel the pressure of having to perform, so they have more fun.
This is a great place to come if you feel a bit intimidated by going to the larger dance studios, as the staff and even the students are very welcoming. Highly recommend :)
