A Welcoming Place to Dance, Grow, and Have Fun

At YCD Studio, we believe that everyone can dance. You don’t need rhythm, experience, or a partner — just a willingness to try.

Students love our approach because it’s:

  • Warm and encouraging

  • Zero-pressure and judgment-free

  • Taught step-by-step at your pace

  • Fun, social, and confidence-building

Your instructor will make everything feel simple and natural — even if you’re brand new.

Our professional instructors (including co‑owner and former Dancing with the Stars pro Anna Trebunskaya) will guide you step‑by‑step, so you feel comfortable and confident on any dance floor—date nights, parties, weddings, or just because.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR INTRO LESSON

Our First Lesson Is Just 30 Minutes and Only $50

Here’s exactly how your Intro Lesson works:

1. A warm welcome
We’ll get to know your goals — dancing socially, date nights, fitness, confidence, even just trying something new.

2. Hands-on instruction
You’ll learn simple steps you can use right away.

3. Try a couple of dances
Salsa, Bachata, Swing, or Foxtrot — see what feels good.

4. A clear, friendly plan
Your instructor will suggest next steps with no pressure. Plan for about 15 minutes to chat with your instructor after your 30 minute lesson.

Most students leave surprised by how much they can already do.

What People Are Saying

So this place made for a legendary date night!!! The team helped us and they did everything to make our first time as seamless as possible. When we arrived the atmosphere was super professional and even a little intimidating as first timers, but the moment our instructor introduced himself and began our lesson it felt like our new home for dance. Our instructor was hands on and professional every single moment!

Ultimately we are going back because of this wonderful group of charismatic human beings and I'm sure they'll take our dancing to a whole new universe!
