One of my favorite places in the world, Dance Place is a home for the for the rich energy and diverse artistry of DC. Local artists share stages with international touring companies in this newly renovated space.

Great teachers, parking is hard to find.

Two of our girls have taken classes here for the last two years. We loved all the young dancer classes. They were fun and age appropriate. Activities and music were often mixed up from week to week to keep it fresh, and the girls loved all the different dance accessories (hoops, ribbons, stuffed animals, etc). The end of year recital is well managed, and we loved the chance to participate in the Nutcracker All Jazzed Up performance around the holidays. Couldn't be happier with our experience!

Hello I’ve been there with a friend who rented out the dance studio and I am wondering about the cost per hour to rent out the studio myself. What’s the cost per hour?

I took my daughter karma Williams there and she loves it

Carole Brown

Great place to learn Cuban salsa with excellent teachers and fun students. However, the studio desperately needs ventilation on hot humid summer nights!

Dance Place is the premier performance space for dance in the DC region with performances almost every weekend ranging from Modern to Post-Modern, World Dances to Performance Art. Highlights include annual Dance Africa, DC festival as well as its complete season of regional, national and international artists. Dance Place also offers a range of classes for adults and youth from beginning to professional. A great place!

This is such an intimate venue to watch many of the fantastic local performing artists in DC. If you have a chance to see anything here, do yourself a favor and go have a good time.

I went here for a comedy show. What a joke (and I don't mean that in a good way). The theater is fine, but the staff takes far too many liberties in trying to join the show. The staff joined in the audience to fill seats and constantly interrupted the comedian. Tried to join in the act far too many times and I had to walk out. Hint: do not go to this "Dance Place" for a comedy show as much as they advertise it!

I came here for their Sunday evening performance and had a blast! However, I wasn't quite prepared for the drink situation...they sell glasses of wine, but you can't take it into the theater area unless you purchase an adult sippy cup (literally a plastic cup with a sippy lid on it) for an additional $5. It was weird and hilarious and I'm saving the cup for next time! The only negative about the experience was that the theater itself got really warm during the performance - everyone was sweating!

Both my son and daughter have taken dance classes at Dance Place and we couldn't be happier with our experience with the studio. My son took hip hop dance for several years and learned some fantastic dance skills and gained a great deal of confidence as a performer. My daughter started at Dance Place ten years ago and continues to love everything about it. Christine has created a wonderful community, where everyone knows each other. My daughter has met many good friends through taking classes here over the years. Christine welcomes all dancers, regardless of skill level, as well as, has created an environment where all body types are appreciated. Dance Place offers a plethora of dance classes, a dance team, and dance camps over the summer. We are incredibly fortunate that we found Dance Place so long ago!

Hey..i am very interested to come in and take some dance classes. But I cannot access the website online. It keeps asking me for authentic code or something...i wanna see the schedules and prices before hand. Thanks.

Parking is really bad. Take a cab or Uber. Nice neighborhood

Delicious!!! I took an African Dance class on May 3 at 1:45 with Sylvia and had the best time ever. The class was great. I live in New York City and take three sometimes fours classes a week and they, the classes in NY could not compare for energy. The other dancers were positive and the Sylvia one of the best. Whenever I'm in DC I will be dropping in. Thank you DancePlace.

Dance Place is one of my favorite establishments in DC, period. Their site schedule is diverse and offers something for everyone and they really focus on local talent which is special. The classes are also great, quite varied, and the space is good for beginning and intermediate class.

Was there last night for UpRooted Dance and loved it! The venue and performances are stellar. The dance companies they feature always have performances that are diverse, compelling and thought provoking.

The drop in adult dance classes are a great price and the modern class was of great quality. Dance Place offers the least expensive adult drop-in dance classes I've seen in the DC/MD/VA area. The class was really fun and challenging for all ability levels and taught by Rebecca Weiss, a substitute teacher for the class. This was my first class so I can't speak toward the regular flow of class with the normal teacher, but if it was anything like the class I attended then it's probably a class I'd recommend taking. I've danced for ~10yrs when I was younger and now about 10 years later I'm in my mid-20s and trying to pick things back up again:) This class was a great class to be in as an almost newbie to adult dance.
