I commute 25 miles one way to get to this studio at least 2-3 times a week. I wouldnt do that for just any studio. This studio is amazing. If you want to learn hip hop dance its the best place to go. Theyve got beginner classes, theyve got advanced classes. The people are beautiful, generous, and kind. Never danced before? No problem. Take an absolute beginner class with Rocko and youll be pretty cool in no time. Danced a little bit but want to get better? Take classes with Emerson, Amber, Leslie, Darcy and much more at this studio. I can only speak to hip hop classes (which is bountiful here at this studio) but I know this place has much more. Ballet, West African, Yoga....You should just go. They have free parking at the main City Dance studio. A short walk from the Van Ness Muni stop.

Ever watched a Hip hop dance video or So You Think You Can Dance? and thought, Damn, I wish I could learn to move like that? Well lucky for you that you have ran across this review! I was one of those people, and after consistently taking class at City Dance I am well on my way towards that end. Their instruction in basic, groove-based, old school, and advanced contemporary Hip hop is by far the best in the area. Home to SF Funkanometry, San Franciscos original Hip hop dance company, City Dances advantage in instruction is its experience and longevity in the Hip hop world. They know how to produce dancers complete with technique, control, and a sense of performance. Check the website and drop-in for class!

All around, this is the studio I recommend for hip hop dance training in SF. Not only are the prices SUPER reasonable, but there is a huge variety in styles of training and classes you can take here. There are performance workshops (take class & then perform your piece), there are regular drop in classes, and there are classes that build on technique weekly (ie the bboy classes), ON TOP of hosting some amazing workshops from out of town guests like LES TWINS. There are two locations - City Dance and City Dance Annex and I definitely prefer the first to the latter.

Ive been taking dance classes since I was 8 years old, and then took a 10 year break. I was soooo happy to find this dance studio. I was reluctant to take dance classes again because I thought it would be full of younger students, but this is a great place for adults too. There are classes for all types and levels, and everyone that attends class is very friendly - there is a community feeling here. I highly recommend this place! If youre an ex-pro dancer, or if youre just interested in trying a class for the first time, you wont regret taking a class!!!

By far this place has one of the best selection of instructors in SF. I highly reccomend Dennis Infantes Old school hip hop class and the groove mechanics and all styles sessions. Any of the workshops they have through their website that they offer will b amazing because a lot dancers in the industry and scene end up coming through here. Only reason I cant say more about the other classes because of my limited time. Honestly, Ive never met anyone that didnt have fun in these classes. Also get a 4 class pass, you will come back.

Great instructors, affordable price, but youll be disappointed if youve taken classes in other big, major dance studios before. Having moved to SF recently, my expectations of City Dance were high as it is supposed to be the biggest hip hop dance studio in SF. Studios are a bit run down with no AC, and they are not located in the greatest neighborhoods. Classes were fun regardless.

Ive been taking the adult ballet classes from Carla ever since she joined City Dance a couple years ago. She is very patient us newbies who never took ballet as a kid, explains each exercise so that you can understand it, and goes at a pace that works perfectly for us. I recommend this place to all my friends interested in dance!

This studio is amazing! Took a hip hop master class with Funkanometry on Sunday night. Amber, the guest instructor, is excellent and also teaches regularly - highly recommend the master class and Ambers normal classes! I also rented space in the studio, $20/hr, very flexible and great spaces!

I call there to know more about some classes, but the woman in the phone just said " look at the website ! And when I tried call there after it goes to voicemail ! Horrible service ! Horrible to give information!

All I have to say is JAZZ with ANN BARRETT is the place to be!!!! If you want to take a real dance class she will not disappoint you! She has the best moves and music in town!!! You will be addicted !!!

Awesome, inspiring teachers, would recommend this studio to anyone from beginners to those who have danced forever. Came on the recommendation of a former professional dancer, and totally loved it!

I took clogging, modern and hip-hop classes at various locations in City Dance Studios and they were all great. The classes are never too crowded and instructors are amazing!

Becky Tse

Really enjoyed the variety of classes they had. Its a little pricy for a 1 hr class for a unemployed student, but otherwise its fun. Their free parking lot is a bonus.
