Happy atmosphere, very dynamic and Cool teacher for my 6yo first class. Parents were also lovely (which is important!). Love the casual charging as it allows you to try it, or miss a class without worrying about make up classes.
6yo had a blast and we will be going back next week for sure.

Great studio covering a range of street style dance. Kat and Troy lead an awesome team of teachers who support dancers young and old achieve their best. My kids have been going here for over 6 years and have enjoyed learning and performing in a range of styles and classes.

SDS is an amazing studio! With extremely talented, kind and positive teachers when it comes to teaching! The desk ladies are friendly and helpful. All classes are fun and laid back. Classes range from beginner with easy to follow step by step routines to advance which is a bit more challenging! I definitely recommend this dance studio if you are searching for one!
