Reviews
Pancho’s reggaeton classes are truly amazing. He’s a professional artist, and shares his overflowing energy and passion and knowledge with everyone regardless of their level. He encourages everyone to feel the music and find their spirit. It’s not everyday you find a teacher with this combination of professional talent and natural teaching ability. This weekend I attended one of his beginner/intermediate workshops with over 20 students and the feeling in the studio was electric.
I purchased 2x mirror for my home gym (1.8x1.2m). The mirrors were promptly delivered. The mirrors are superb quality. Would definitely purchase again if I need more!
I've been going to The Space consistently for 3 months and every single class and teacher has been consistently top quality. Seriously amazing dance school which caters for genuinely all levels. Pancho's latin commercial classes are out of this world 10/10
We didn’t have a great experience with dance classes for kids. Specially ballet classes. They need teachers who understand what is like to work with kids. We made sure to email giving our honest opinion.
I’ve been attending this dance studio for many years and it has pushed me to be my best and helped me move up in my dance world, it hadalways been a place I genuinely loved, which is why this experience was so upsetting and disappointing. One staff member, who has been at the studio for a long time and appears to have a very close personal connection to the ownership, was consistently rude towards me. During one interaction, they physically pushed past me without apologising. This left me feeling uncomfortable and unsettled, especially as another staff member checked on me afterwards, which made it clear the situation had been noticeable. I didn’t feel able to raise this concern at the time, as it felt likely that my feelings would be minimised or that I would be made to feel as though I was overreacting, rather than being taken seriously. That lack of confidence in speaking up made the situation even more difficult. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I won’t be returning to the studio. While it wasn’t traumatic, it was unsettling enough to change how safe and welcome I felt in a place that used to mean a lot to me. I hope this feedback is considered seriously so others don’t feel the same way.
