I just love this Studio, I met the owner when it first opened, about 12 years ago. We bonded about being DanceStudio owners. I had just retired from teaching Dance and closed my studio in Florida. I had just moved back to Hawaii, and I was reaching out to the Dance community to connect and make friends. I had had just started taking some dance styles that had always wanted to learn Kizomba, and Samba but was too busy to learn. “Dances of love” was an event and they were using this beautiful DanceStudio, I remember loving the aesthetics of the studio and the warm friendly feeling.
The best place in hawaii for in person and online movement classes. Wow these folks have everything! Dance. Yoga. Hula. Pilates. Massage. Community events. Amazing customer service and the center is spectacular! Highly recommend.
