Shawn is a miracle worker! I wanted to do a surprise dance for my bride and approached Shawn with the caveat that myself and the groomsmen had little to no dance ability and even less rhythm! Shawn created an amazing dance routine that looked good and within our skill levels, and really put in the effort to create something memorable. She also pushed us and showed us that we had more ability than we thought! I was very impressed with her music mixing skills as well as she cut up and edited an amazing song for us. Overall, Shawn is fantastic and Afterhours is the place to go if you need any dance lessons!

Recently went back here with my friend to take Beginner Hip Hop and it was so much fun. The format changed from the last time I went, which was split into half ish--hip hop cardio dance then followed by more focused movements. Current format is more broken down steps, on repeat, then more added to one song. Basically, you're learning a choreography. It's kind of challenging for me. Makes my brain and body work a bit harder to be in sync. There's also an abs section. I do love the new format, but I personally like the nonstop hip hop dance better just because I like nonstop cardio! LOL They offer a lot of classes & the owner is nice, mellow, yet fun personality. She always makes it a point to say our names/greet us. Appreciate that gesture!

AfterHours is such a great dance studio for beginners like myself. I went here twice after looking everywhere for a dance studio that truly had a beginner friendly class. I took the beginners jazz class with Dante and it was perfect for me. I felt very sexy. I felt good in my body and he paces the class really well so that it's not too slow if you're a more advanced beginner, but it's enough to where you aren't confused and ready to give up if you're super novice. Unfortunately, I live about 45 minutes away from this amazing dance studio so I haven't been back since but trust me if I lived closer I would go every day. It's only $20 for a drop-in class and you can pay in person -- you don't have to book in advance, and there are several classes to accommodate your schedule. They also have classes that are hybrid, so you can go on Zoom or in person which is very unique. Definitely try this place if you're a beginner with very little dance background because this is somewhere where you can start and grow.

This is an amazing dance studio. So first off, I am a 28 year old male who was looking to start dancing for the very first time. I didn't even know what dance class I wanted to take. The first time I visited this dance studio, I met the beginning ballet instructor, Genevieve. She was super nice and, along with a front desk staff member, circled possible beginner classes I could take. The classes ranged from hip hop to jazz to even ballet. Now I had to decide which dance class I wanted to take. I decided against hip hop because the songs can have cuss words in the lyrics, so I was split between ballet and jazz. At first, I was iffy about doing ballet because I was thinking, like what the world thinks, that only girls do ballet. So, originally, my mind was set on doing a jazz class. It was this past Friday morning, March 15, 2024, and something happened where I all of a sudden wanted to take the ballet class. I was nervous in booking the class, and I was also equally as nervous buying the dancewear for the class at a dancewear shop. Then, as the time crept closer for me to go to the ballet class, I was getting super nervous. I put on my ballet outfit and headed to the dance studio. When I was there, and class was about to start, I noticed I was the only guy there. That made me very nervous, but I expected this. During the class, my brain was going nuts, telling me, I shouldn't be here. Ah!!! What am I doing?!? I shouldn't be in a ballet class. But then something awesome happened. When it was time to practice ballet moves two at a time, I went last, obviously because this was my first time doing a dance class, let alone a ballet class. The ballet teacher, Genevieve, was so nice in helping me do the dance moves together when it was my time to go practice the ballet moves. Then, when I ended by standing on my tippy toes (wearing ballet shoes) and holding my arms above my head in a circle, THE GIRLS WATCHING ME CLAPPED! I was so stunned by that and those girls who clapped who were also in the ballet class were so nice for doing that. So was Genevieve, the ballet instructor. The girls clapping after I finished trying to do the ballet dance definitely impacted me in a positive way, even though I was the only guy in the ballet class. I will never forget that that happened in my very first ballet class. Then, I really liked the ballet class so much that I went back the following day, Saturday, to do yet another ballet class. Never in a million years would I ever imagine that I would be typing the words, I took a ballet class. Now I am thinking about doing the ballet class weekly, every Friday evening. Also, this is breaking through the stereotype that male ballet dancers are gay. That is not true. Ballet is hard as there are so many intricate steps and correct positions that you have to do. Ballet music is also fun to listen to and dance to. To the people who say ballet is just fluttering in tutus, that is so wrong. Try taking a ballet class, and you will see just how hard it is. Anyway, now I am looking forward to hopefully, every Friday, taking the beginner ballet class with Genevieve. This dance studio has sparked a passion in me that I never knew was there, taking ballet. Thank you Genevieve for being so nice to me, and thank you to the girls who clapped for me after my first "performance" in ballet. That will be etched in my mind. Thank you. This is a fantastic dance studio that I highly recommend. Go break out of your shell, and do something new. It may change you. I know it certainly did change me when I attended my very first ballet class.

Kristin C. has an amazing Pilates class every Sunday at 9:45am. What a welcoming place, with ladies of all skill levels who will still feel like they have been challenged walking out the door- a great end to the weekend! Kristin gave personalized attention without passing any judgement.

Fun class! I lived further out, and I also prefer to take classes online (virtual). I'm so happy this dance studio offer virtual classes. I don't know any other studio beside this one that does that. I was able to book a class within 5 minutes before class started, and I was able to still join the session. I'm looking forward to taking more dance classes with AfterHours Dance Studio!

This place has been everything I was hoping for when I was searching for a dance studio for adults. I have very little dance experience, besides just always dancing with friends at bars/clubs/parties. I wanted to actually try, but always felt like I am too old and too new to join any studio at this age (26). I signed up for the beginners heels class with Natalia, which is a sexy slow dance class. It was EVERYTHING! There were a lot of different ages joining the class, from 20s to probs upper 50's and it was challenging but still she made it so easy to learn. I now come every week and got a class pass. The owner, Shawn pops in sometimes, and she is so nice and cool. I really love the welcoming vibe of this studio. They make you feel so comfortable to get outside your comfort zone and have SO MUCH FUN!!!

I took Shawn's basic hip hop class. It was very high energy and fun!. The best dance class I've ever tried. I've been to some salsa and bachata classes before, but this was my first time trying hip hop (outside of the club and house parties lol). The class was this cool mix of learning technical moves and just having a blast. Shawn keeps the energy high and breaks the moves down in a very clear way. When the hour was up, I was like, "Already?!" but super sweaty. The class was so fun that I hadn't realized an hour had passed. I left feeling like me and the other people taking the class could be a legitimate dance crew in a music video lol Thanks Shawn!

I have been going to Afterhours for almost five years now. It's an amazing place and community of dancers. They've recently added a beautiful second studio and more classes to their already long list of options. Highly recommend, there's something for everyone!
