my sister and I was very excited to go to their drop in dance class on monday. i preordered the class online and we took the sunrail and a bus trip just to go to the dance class. their address was just recently updated on google because we had went to the adress according to google. welp we ended up at the wrong building me and my sister was walking around in the pouring rain to find their building. So i emailed marlon hightower for refund because we didn't attend the class. its now thursday and ive hear nothing back i would just like a refund of money .

Motiv is great, I normally go when I need time for myself. The people, the atmosphere, to be honest, everything is great!

I’ve been looking for a dance studio for a while now and I have finally found THE ONE. The atmosphere of this studio is so warm and welcome!! The instructor I had on a Thursday night was so mellow, amazing and worked at a reasonable pace. She actually spoke to me after class and introduced herself. They have a really nice aesthetic and big open space to dance. It may have took me almost 2 hours to get here but it is SO WORTH IT! Best place I’ve been to in Fl so far!! The prices are also very good!! Honestly this place is going to blow your mind.

Just showed up for the Friday beginners hip hop class at 6pm. Arrived at 5:45... by 6pm I started calling. No answer. About 20 of us stood outside the door wondering what was going on. They changed their website to say classes were cancelled while we stood there but would not answer calls or texts. Very unprofessional and disappointing.

Orlando needed this! THANK YOU! This is the city’s first-ever, pro-level, open class, hip hop dance studio. I love that it is open to all ages and all levels, BUT maintains an industry-professional atmosphere and doesn’t dumb down it’s classes. If you’re serious about becoming a pro dancer, or want to train like the pros, this is where you come! I’ve been to LA and NY training with my daughter for many years, and this studio is on par with the best! Look no further if you want real training and real industry experience!

(For perspective, I'm middle-aged with a modest amount of training 20 years ago.) I happened to be in Orlando and was hoping to find someplace decent to pick up a class for fun. I was not expecting to find access to world class talent. Anyone in the area who's serious about trying to work in the industry needs to be here. For me, taking class here feels like some hip-hop version of fantasy baseball camp. I actually live in Jacksonville (2 hours away) and sometimes I make the drive just to come take a class here. (It still amazes me that I can just wander in off the street and dance next to these people.)

This dance studio is not children friendly. We were told children could be in the beginners hip hop class but it was really a class for adults. The teacher did not pay any attention to them, I had my six year old grandson and 7 year old granddaughter trying to learn the steps. The music was loud, my granddaughter burst into tears and not one person came to make her feel welcomed. I asked for a less loud class, and was told the music had to be loud to motivate the students. I was not offered any options nor any refunds. After 25 minutes of this heartless experience, I left.

My 13 year old son just started here last month, the staff was very friendly and welcoming to him. Its only been 3 weeks and he loves it and is there at least 4 days a week. The dance instructors have been super encouraging and engaging with him. So far so good. I hope he continues to grow and learn in a great & friendly environment.

Absolutely great experience at Motiv. It has a really casual, welcoming and open atmosphere.
