After reading all the positive reviews of this place, I always had been wanting to check it out for years. As I didnt take a lesson with any staff there, just rented floor space with my dance partner... I can only review the facilities. The floor space is small just like anywhere else in NYC. There are two large poles about 2-3 feet wide in the main ballroom that divide it up and soak up a lot of space as well. There are a handful of smaller side rooms. The floor quality is amongst the worst Ive seen, even by NYC standards. Theres laminate flooring just over concrete... and you can really feel it on your feet after not too long of a session.It was nice to finally see this studio, and I hear its great for salsa and tango... but I wont be renting floor space anytime here soon.Update 31 August 2017: Changed to 4 stars after they updated to a sprung wooden floor. Its much better than it used to be. Keep in mind that this is primarily a place to go with a private instructor than an actual cohesive studio.
The PenthouseProsThe local is big, the DJ is decentConsNobodies there at least the day I cameOnly salsa so no alternative for other genre to varyThe price is high (20$)Spent an hour without dancing : lack of leads? Or other ? Can’t really tellVerdict: Will not come again
Biggest dance studio(s) possible in NYC and houses many of the worlds greatest International Latin Ballroom competitors and coaches. All kinds of dancing and exercise programs as well as other events happen here! It is an amazing place to be!
Very central location. I rented space for my rehearsal , everything was accommodated for. They even had marble showers which I did not expect, and the staff was overall friendly. Definitely recommend if you need some space.
Have had a good time everytime Ive been to a salsa event here, even as a primarily on1 dancer.
I have not taken any of their classes but this studio is home to some of the best salsa parties in New York: La Vieja Guardia (every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month), Jimmy Antons (every 1s and 3rd Sunday of the month) and Toda La Noche (the first Saturday of each month). If you are looking for awesome salsa dancing, this is where you will find it!
Increddible dance venue. Great floor, high ceilings, well cooled and always packed with amazing dancers on social nights.
Took a couple of lessons before my daughters wedding. Peter was just a sweetheart! So patient and kind!!
