Urban Dance

Urban Dance Centre. These 3 words are heard all over town and always in a good context. So one day I thought I gotta try it and see what all the fuss is about. So I did a lyrical class and yep it rocked. The choreography was amazing and a genre I love to do to release all the stress/​emotions from your day. In terms of level, its kinda on par with the lyrical classes at SDC, but the classes were a bit small because I went on a thursday night, which is apparently their most unpredictable session. The students vary, with some beginner dancers having a go without feeling intimidated, which is fantastic! It certainly helps you enjoy the class if you have dance experience/​background but try the beginners class and see how you go — nothing to lose! :)
The instructors are also quite friendly and well-​known in their respective genres. Other things to note? The office guy Vincent who is also an awesome dancer in his own right, said that Mon and Tue are crazy busy, and Wed-​Fri being unpredictable, sometimes quiet, sometimes busy. The location is a bit of a surprise being in a quiet street across from Broadway carpark (and its next to the Church of Scientology).
I might try the hip hop classes one day and I’ll keep this review updated when I do :)

Urban Dance Center has «cool» written all over it. I have been dancing all my life and teaching for years, so I am always interested in taking class from new choreographers at new places just to see which way the trends are going. From my experience, UDC is best studio, particularly for hip-​hop, in Sydney.
If you have some dance experience under your belt, definitely take a class with Tiana Joubert who will have you moving like a ghetto, afro-​Caribbean maniac. Her class is the perfect balance between sexy and hard-​hitting, and is definitely good for cardio.
If you are a beginning dancer, I wouldn’t recommend Urban Dance Center. The girls walking around there definitely think they’re tough sh*t, and the classes won’t be beginning, despite their listing. And if you your high top Nikes aren’t HEEELLLLLAAA fly… dude, don’t even bother!
