You Should Be Dancing…!

You Should Be Dancing…..! first opened 22 years ago at 412 8th Avenue. During the COVID pandemic, we saw the need for change and so we took the opportunity to relocate and expand. As of March 2022, we can proudly say that our renovation project is finally complete at our new home located at 37 W 26th Street.

Our goal was to provide the NYC dance community with an environment where they can learn, have fun, and have a sense of belonging. We believe that in order to achieve the rewards of dancing, it should be a pleasant learning experience in a modern, friendly atmosphere. We not only teach dancing, but show you how to practice on your own.

You proceed at your own pace and have the option of learning in private or group settings.

Class sizes are limited for best results. Each student will be given personal counseling to make each step clear and easy.

We know dancing keeps you in great shape as it is felt in every fiber of your body. Who can resist swaying to a romantic song or tapping a foot at a jumpin’ jive solid groove? At our studio, learn to lead or follow … no partner required.
