Ninth Street Dance is so amazing! The atmosphere is supportive and encouraging! Theyre offering online classes to the community during these trying times and its been so important for me to have people I look forward to seeing each week. If you havent yet, take a class and see for yourself.

So happy to be back in the studio! Super cute, great staff, and overall amazing experience.

Ninth street dance is my favorite local studio! Unlike other, stuffier dance studios, ninth street seems to celebrate the joy, artistry and exploration in movement, welcoming all bodies and experience levels!Ninth Street hosts a diverse range of dance styles, including contemporary, modern, hip hop, broadway, and classes from cultures around the world. Youve got to try Joses hip hop for a challenging workout and creative choreography. Or Nickis contemporary dance for a soulful, lyrical experience!The flexibility of their make-up classes takes the stress out of scheduling, (while allowing exploration of other classes), which I truly appreciate. I also love their location downtown. The exposed brick, large open studios and colorful hallway graffiti give it an artistic, urban vibe. Currently, they are offering a full selection of zoom classes, for a safe and interactive experience.

I LOVE ninth street dance!!!! Their classes are so fun!I did Samba and couple classes of Bollywood - it is an incredibly joyful time! I encourage everyone to try it out!

I love Ninth Streets virtual classes! They are engaging and fun, and each teacher has a great environment for us to learn. You can leave your camera off if you feel uncomfortable, which can be great for new learners. I particularly like their ballet and afro-caribbean classes!

Ninth Street Dance is SUCH a wonderful community. The classes are truly welcoming of everyone and make movement available to all. The teachers are fun, supportive, and outgoing and the students are some of the BEST people I’ve ever met. My 3yo also thoroughly enjoys their children’s classes. Highly recommend this local gem!

I adore this studio. My daughter and I have each taken two classes here. For her (a 2-year-old), she got joyful movement and physical connection with me, plus a teacher with the BEST attitude, props, and even gift bags (!!!) at the end of the semester. For me, the improv-style and hip-hop classes I took were what finally made me feel comfortable in my body and soul again after having my first kid — plus the instructors are SO high-quality and bring a beautiful balance of skill-building, solid workouts, and sheer enjoyment. I cant recommend Ninth Street Dance enough.

My kid loves her online dance class! I was worried that a virtual dance experience would fall flat, but signed her up anyway because who can wait for COVID to end? She looks forward to it each week and thinks Ms. Emy is a superstar. It’s pretty fast paced and new to my kid, but I’m impressed with how much she’s learning. Highly recommend! We’ve already registered for the next session to make sure she doesn’t lose her spot.

The best dance school in the REGION.

Ninth Street Dance is not only a neighborhood gem and huge community asset but its also a national treasure. Ive moved throughout several different states/major cities all with strong dance communities and none of them have what Ninth Street does. Every time I come home to NC, dropping into a class is like medicine for my soul. I talk about it constantly to other adult dancers/movers who lament not having a venue for non-professional, fun, relaxed (but still challenging!) dance classes for all ages and bodies.

Jose is a great hip hop and break dance instructor.

Great place for adult dance classes, in person or online.

Ninth Street Dance is great for anyone who is looking to get back into dance, try a new style, or even start dancing for the first time. The teachers create a very welcoming atmosphere where students feel comfortable learning. As a person who works full time, their schedule is extremely convenient and they have a variety of classes. Also, if you ever have to miss a class, you can make it up in any other style which is a great chance to try something new. Their studios are also air conditioned which is nice, especially in the summer. There are dancers of all ages and experience levels which creates a vibrant community.

Very affordable classes and such a wonderful community of both teachers and students. The virtual classes offered during the pandemic have been such bright spots in my time at home!

I signed up for the Bollywood beginner class, however I didnt feel it was beginner level at all. The teacher went through the dances very quickly...we learned some complex moves all within 5-10 minutes....and then she would add more complex moves on top of those. I dont have a dance background, how am I going to learn complicated moves so fast??I got very frustrated. The room was also packed so full I could barely see the teacher and had very little room to move around. I paid for the entire season, however only ended up going to 1 class and 15 minutes of another class, but they would not give me a refund. Would not recommend.

Welcoming environment with excellent instructors - good for beginning or advanced dancers!

I love 9th Street Dance! Im 48 years old and have taken tap and hip hop here and am now taking ballet. The teachers are fabulous, and so is the staff, and we have so much fun in class! We learn a lot, and its a great workout! There are also lots of classes for kids. Very happy place!!

I had a great experience here with ShaLeigh Fairbanks, a superb, professional and caring teacher. The front desk person was exceptional. The only beef I have is that the studio is up a steep flight of stairs and can be a little touch to navigate for someone who has had knee issues. The studios are in a lively area near the 9th street strip.

The variety of classes is okay. Mostly a good place for adult beginners. The management is extremely not friendly to clients. Whoever runs the place is clearly someone who knows little about dance culture. The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 is that the tap classes with Whitney are phenomenal and highly recommended!

Great experience for two of our young children. The dance classes for youngsters are low-pressure, and more concerned with getting the kids to have fun moving their bodies than prepare them for recitals.

Great workout, nice people, fun dancing. Only problem is the area. Not safe.

Great instructors that are super helpful!

PLEASE open up a studio in Raleigh! :)
