The Dance Space

NEW LOCATION: Moiliili Community Center
PREFACE: I am most certainly not a dancer by any definition. I took their dance classes for a new challenge and to, well, just let loose.
Dance Space offers a variety of dance classes for kids and adults. When they were still at their University Square studio, I took Hymie’s adult hip hop class (the introductory, not the advanced one, of course) for three sessions in a row and absolutely loved it!
The instructor…
+ instantly made me (a newbie to the class and dance) feel welcome and comfortable in the midst of «class regulars» who were really really good dancers
+ began the class with awesome warm-​ups (e.g. assisted push-​ups, stretches, mild aerobic routines, etc)
+ chose excellent tracks to learn dance moves to (latest hits like Ke$ha, Christina Aguilera, Lil Wayne, etc)
+ taught the skills and moves slow enough for me to eventually learn but fast enough for more advanced students to be challenged
+ helped me to let go of my social inhibitions, have fun, and JUST DANCE
They also have adult contemporary/​modern dance classes by Jenny, who is also a sweetheart. Everyone was so nice, patient, and passionate about the art of dance.
