This is my favorite dance studio! I've been dancing most of my life. I'm a senior now and I take Hip-hop at Epicenter Arts and Entertainment. They are so warm and welcoming and make you feel like your part of a family and the prices are very affordable. I love this place!🥰🕺💃

This is the spot for dance & hip hop in the South Bay. My favorite teachers are Alex and Lo. They keep me young. Genuine people & good energy, it’s for all ages, it’s not like the hustle and bustle atmosphere in most LA studios. They host cool events, too.

This was my second time to rent one of their studios. They offer few rental studios with different concepts. So, we can select a room meets our requirements for the project. The common area is furnished nicely. And the staff are very nice and friendly. We had a great time!
I can't wait to book a rental studio at Epicenter again for my next project.

I've been coming to Boogiezone for over a year almost weekly and I love it! At first I tried a the Basics and Beginner Hip Hop classes with Elm. Since then, I've progressed into Intermediate, some advance, and have taken their Beginning Step program on Saturdays. Elm is such a great teacher, with a positive vibe, and makes dancing so much fun! I used to dance in the break scene a long time ago, but had kids and needed some polishing. I really wanted to train in choreography this time. I was amazed how Elm took beginners of all ages with no experience in dance, teach them choreography and had them dancing the steps by the end of the class! There is such a great feel of community with dancers and teachers-- it's basically like a family. Don't hesitate to come here, just come! You won't regret it! All levels welcome, including beginners!

Just writing a review purely based on my personal experience. My friends had taken me to try the place out; first class taken was described as a “line dance” which ended up being some type of Zumba class - no choreography, more of a dance work out. Disappointed we ended up staying for Yumi. Had a great time and decided to get the new student package. I neglected to realize that the teaching schedule on there insta isn’t updated and there aren’t as many versatile classes as you would think.
I go the following week to Yumis and the class was completely packed in room 6, the dance involved going backwards and let’s just say I had to leave early do to not being able to get the full experience.
Where my biggest concern comes from is when I booked a dance room. I reached out in June about a booked and had to reach out multiple times via email to get a response, was given the wrong number to zelle, no confirmation sent, no communication after being told I would get a text. fast forward the day of my class they have no record of my booking, the room is double booked and I’m being bounced around. We get a room right after someone, floors are dirty with cups, the mirrors have hands all over and no windex to try and clean, the speakers would not connect for the first 30 mins because the person before was still there and didn’t disconnect, and once I was connected the speakers would randomly stop. I had to personally refund my students because of this experience as we didn’t more have enough time.
I asked to be reached out to multiple times and would you be surprised? No one has reach out. Overall experience was a 1 star for me and hope that it’s a one off and others don’t have to go through that trouble.

This place is an amazing experience in all ways! Best dance studio in the South Bay by far, amazing instructors and you just feel like you’re part of the family immediately. If you’re a beginner (I was 43 and had never taken a class before) I suggest starting with the founder Elm Pizarro’s Basic Class. Elm makes everyone feel welcome and it’s so much fun!

I love this place so much! It has a friendly environment compared to other dance studios that can be very intimidating. I was always afraid to take dance classes but this studio made it easy for me to finally get confident in dancing! I highly recommend you take Boogiezone 4 Beginners 10 week workshop if you've never danced before, it definitely helped me build a foundation for hip hop and taught me how to succeed when taking dance classes!

Utopia is a pretty big studio with 5 studio on the first floor and a huge ballroom on the second. Plenty of bathrooms and seating area while you wait or after you dance.

Some good food places in the area too and if you forget water there is a liquor store across the street!
