Kim Dance Studio Zumba Class

So i biked here all the way from West Hollywood and its definitely worth it. The staff is so awesome and they know how to move, its so hard so keep up but if you love the art of dance you will enjoy these classes. The classmates are also very friendly, i guess they are family because that’s what two of them told me You will have so much fun while you burn an easy 1000 calories if you go max. I will definitely come back and dance dance dance.

Been going to this particular Zumba Class with these group of instructors for almost 2 years now, and absolutely LOVE it!!!
Got hooked on zumba 4 years ago and was delighted when I moved to East Hollywood and found this class! They moved from their original location on Western in Sophie’s Studios to their new, current location, Santa Monica’s Dance Studio on Santa Monica Boulevard. The new spot is actually WAYYY better cuz its more spacious. It’s in a Latino dominant neighborhood, and I’m pretttty sure I’m the Only one there who isn’t Latino and doesn’t speak Spanish, yet everyone thinks I do lol
Only Street Parking is available in front of the studio. BEST time is after 7pm cuz its FREE and there’s plenty of parking space. Make sure you read the Parking restriction signs carefully before parking!
A Zumba Class costs $ 3 and you sign your name and pay right before each class starts. BRING water and a towel, cuz even though each class is only an hour long you WILL definitely work up a sweat! I’ve done a class with Teo, Javier, and Gaby.
GABY is by far my Favorite instructor! She’s always smiling, friendly and welcoming, super energetic, and can dance her ass off! Her Zumba routines are Great cardio cuz they’re fast and intense. Routines usually include LOTS of knee lifts, ab crunches, squats, and my favorite, boobie and butt thrusts lol. She moves around the room a lot to make sure everyone can see her, that everyones ok, and will sometimes dance facing you to motivate you to keep going. Gaby makes me regret skipping class or when I don’t go for awhile. Cuz when I return to Her class, I’m literally sweating buckets and my whole body is sore the next day. So if you want a Great Workout and to have fun, I highly recommend GABY!!!
My only complaint is women bringing their kids to class. Little toddlers and kids running around while people are dancing is NOT a safe situation for anyone! So PLEASE leave your children at home or make sure they stay seated in the sitting area. Other than that, absolutely LOVE this class and plan to go more often!
