We hosted a private class for our church and had such an amazing response from all our participants. Illy, our instructor, truly embodied the culture, the music, the moves, and the perfect pace for our group. Illy was so accommodating. It truly exceeded our expectations and was everything we could have hoped for in an instructor. Thanks to fitness4dance for making our fellowship night one to remember. The ladies were already asking when the next session will be! We are so grateful for the service, time, musical selection, energy, and passion. Highly recommended.

This studio is such a loving and welcoming space. I haven't attended a class yet, but I'm excited to do so. Laci and the teachers are all invested in community and it feels so good when I'm there!

I was instantly energized after walking through the door from everyone’s warm welcome into the space and the overall great vibes. Yoga Sculpt was equal parts fun and challenging. I couldn’t help but smile, even though I was really taking my body out on the highway. It was a party at the Fountain of Youth — I know my body will thank me for lifting those weights and dancing through the burn. Very grateful that the neighborhood has this gem. Getting fit should feel like this!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. When I first started coming to Fit4Dance, it had been several years since I had taken a dance class. This was the perfect place to get comfortable in my body again and get strong while doing something fun. The environment is resoundingly positive, and truly everyone is so welcoming and encouraging. The variety of fitness classes and dance styles they offer is really impressive, in addition to all of the community events they host. When people say we should be supporting small business, Fit4Dance is exactly the type of place they’re talking about!

Slow flow yoga with Sara was the medicine I didn’t know I needed. I left the session feeling stretched and so very elevated. Not only was the class amazing but the welcoming energy of the staff was the cherry on top! I’ll surely be back for as many classes as possible!

I am not motivated by gyms or running, so I tried out some classes at this studio to get back into movement. I stayed for the variety of classes available (dance, fitness and restoration) and found a warm, welcoming community on the way between the teachers and regulars. ❤️

You're encouraged to go at your own pace for the most part (some classes are more intensive or advanced-level), and yoga mats and equipment are provided free of charge. As a local business, clothing is available to purchase at the studio or their website, and tap shoes for rent if you want to try that class. There is a water dispenser available for refills and clean restrooms.

All in all, Fit4Dance has become an integral part of my life as far as health and well-being goes!

I've been attending classes at this studio since Fall of last year and I cannot believe they keep getting better! The studio is beautiful, warm, inviting, and always clean. The teachers are friendly and cater to a variety of dance levels. (They also pick amazing songs). The fitness classes are more intense, but still so enjoyable. Truly more of a friend/family vibe than a bunch of strangers dancing together. It's become such an important part of my physical AND mental wellness routine!

Had my first class yesterday. First studio I’ve been to where yoga matts, personal lockers, blankets, and yoga pillows are included for no additional fee. I love that they offer affordable beginner dance classes for adults. The studio is clean, welcoming, and they have snacks too! Great atmosphere and I’d love to come back for another class.

F4D is home to incredible instructors across disciplines and dance styles—you will find what you’re looking and leave feeling excited to come back for more! On top of that, the owner, Laci, welcomes everyone with warmth and fosters a sense of community that makes NYC feel more like home for so many.

Taking class at Fit4Dance has been a 10/10 experience. You are welcomed with open arms , Laci and the instructors are such lovable and personable people. Coming from someone who use to live in their head, I must say this community has made it feel safe for me to let go and simply have fun. They helped reignite my love for dance and movement in general. They come from strong dance/art backgrounds and they push you to be better. Not only am I so thankful for the ability to take class with such quality people, I am even more thankful for the community/family it comes with. Thankful thankful thankful beyond words !!

Hands down the best dance studio in Brooklyn! They offer amazing variety of classes and each and every class is amazing with knowledgeable and professional instructors! I been taking classes in this studio since 2019 and they are my second family!!!! The people at the studio are so kind and humble and I am so excited to go to classes there and leave recharged and uplifted each and every time. The owner Laci is such a beautiful soul with the heart of gold. She has created a community where everyone feel welcome, safe and appreciated. I can’t express enough gratitude for the studio and it’s people! I can’t believe there are some negative reviews for this place. Is simply the Best place! Please come try out some classes. I promise you wouldn’t be disappointed. They all about kindness and love and they greet everyone with open arms.

You really can't beat Fit4Dance and the space they create for dance, community, and a non judgement sense of self. I've taken many of the classes and love coming here 2-3 times a week. There are a variety of levels and everyone has a chance to experience and learn at their own pace. I'm not great at choreo, so Im here for the vibes and the good sweat. Laci and staff always make you feel welcome in their space and there are always community activities going on that you can participate in and meet new people. I would definitely recommend trying it out. Not really sure what @Schwan369 was referring to in her review, but dance comes in all sizes and flavors, so pick one or more and enjoy.

When I was younger, my parents took me out of dance school and I never forgave them. Now, as an adult, I have found my home and I'm making my inner child happy again. Fit4Dance welcomes EVERYONE with open arms and it feels like home. There are a variety of dance/fitness classes for everyone of all age groups. My favorite aspect of F4D is the diversity of its members. This is my HAPPY place after work.

Also, if it were not for Laci and her selfless service within her community, I would not have known my mother would be interested in attending Adult Social Day Club Centers. We are all very happy.

Thank you Fit4Dance!!!

Talk about a special space!!! Fit4dance is that place for me.
In just over a year, I've experienced an unexpected sense of community.
The very first day I walked in I felt at home.
The owner was so warm and welcoming and the energy felt right!
I knew right away that she created an environment where everyone feels TRULY welcome.
I think I’ve taken a class with each of the coaches and was very impressed to say the least!
Not only are they very knowledgeable and skilled at what they do, but
they’re also exceptional motivators, and turns every session into a source of inspiration.
I am super grateful for this space that effortlessly turned me from a newcomer into a seasoned member.
I love it here!!!! Fit4D!

You’ll absolutely love it.

I have been taking classes at Fit4Dance since 2016. There is truly a class for everyone here. Fit4Dance has helped me be more confident in my dancing ability and I started taking choreo classes that in times past I would have never considered. This is my home away from home. My daughter is enrolled in the kids classes and she loves EVERYTHING Fit4Dance. My nieces visiting from out of state and took two classes last week and said she loved it!!

The best dance studio I’ve ever been to. Theres a variety of classes from follow along to choreo (my faves are hip hop, majorette, femme divas, clash after dark, robaday, modern, and jazz) the teachers are fun and dynamic, the owner greets everyone by their first name. It’s like a family. Everyone is super supportive.

And there’s not just dance classes there are fun events like karaoke, sip and paint, and other events that support entrepreneurs.

We’ve dance in the dance parade and even at Labor Day.

There are quite a few other kinder more beginner, friendly ones not too far away.

Edit: My nickname is what I registered by when I did the trial.

But if you are looking for feedback, I suggest checking out beginner dance clases at Cumbe Dance! They are free ( or rather donation based ) so research would be simple for similar music with guided instruction.

Also Dance Church was beginner friendly with clear instruction, and a controlled pace.

Both are pretty close and MUCH cheaper
I hope those help!

Highly recommended!!!

Fit4Dance is such an amazing place. The owner Laci has a beautiful heart and for over 10 years has work hard to create community space that feels like a second home to some really dope people who share the love of dance, fitness, and social awesomeness. The instructors are really good at making you feel comfortable. They meet you where you are and lovingly push you to grow beyond your own limits. The studio staff make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in the door. There are so many different classes you can take and they all bring something special for all levels. Laci is also always adding new opportunities both in person and virtually. (🤗That means you can be apart of this community from another state). I discovered this community almost two years ago, and the only regret I have is not discovering it sooner. The people who go here are a whole vibe and they contribute to what makes this an amazing social environment. I have met so many new people that I now call friends. We laugh together, we honor one another, we support and encourage each other, and of course we DANCE. 💃🏾

When I'm feeling down or need a place of community and love. I head to fit4dance, where the instructor push you to be your best and the amazing people that comes through that door. A place where you always feel welcomed. A big 10/10.
Still after 5 years, I still enjoy dancing at f4d and meeting new people. It's still a place where I feel very welcomed and loved. Always feel amazing being there.

I joined Fit4Dance in March and it has been the best thing I did in 2023! It is my new home away from home I gained a new family. Moreover, I have enjoyed the fitness classes and have really challenged myself in a couple of dance classes ;) I appreciate the diversity of its clientele in terms of their racial/ethnic backgrounds, age ranges and the varying dance skill levels. It’s a super welcoming and joy filled place. Step up and step into a loving safe space where you can advance not only your personal health and fitness but your total wellbeing through many enjoyable events and services to community!

I tried this months ago btw just writing a review now! I went to several of the classes and they were fun so I'd give 4 stars for the instructors especially the fusion ones! 5 starts for the hip hop and cardio classes! Those instructors are incredible. And the location is perfect if you want to get some nice Haitian food after or before class!

The adult classes had a ton of variety and were in the evening too! The Haitian and hip hop ones were memorable.

Just giving 2 stars bc the threats weren't ideal. I have been told I look a lot like someone else who comes to class ( Olu specifically as owner knows )

Edit:

Idk what they means by "wash my feet in the female bathroom” on a number of levels but I guess it’s an example of getting confused with someone else.

Especially bc there is only 1 coed restroom if I recall well. The threat that was made during the 4 week session dance course not some bathroom

I am sure it may be a misunderstanding and if it is they can reach out and I will totally change my review or straight up discard my review.

I recently traveled to Brooklyn and spent a week dancing at Fit4Dance and it was one of the best weeks of my life! I have been a virtual student since April 2020 and I finally got to meet Laci and take Lit Fit in person - a dream come true!! I enjoyed all the classes I took: Lit Fit, Diva La Femme, Jazz Dance, and Rabòday Fit. Even if you are a beginner, you are welcome to go at your own pace and just do your best. The instructors are supportive and kind and the classes are SO FUN! I have taken fitness and dance classes all over as it's my favorite thing to do when I travel and I promise you will LOVE Fit4Dance like I do. Can't wait to return!

I went to fit4dance with my sisters (turn up crew) a couple of months ago just to check it out and I've been there ever since. The classes are intense but in a good way. All of the instructors are great and I've built great relationships with them. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Laci. She has created a place with no judgment or fear of failure or self. She is encouraging and is the realest dance/fitness instructor I've ever know. Her zumba classes are AMAZING and so are several of the other classes offered...I.e kukuwa, fiyah burn, dancehall fiyah, stretch and sabor, etc. Honestly I'm so glad that we found fit4dance. We have an entirely New family and we're getting fit in the process. It doesn't feel like a workout when you go there But you definitely see the results.
I highly recommend fit4dance for everyone that wants to get healthy and fit but in a fun environment where they can be themselves.

Laci is an amazing teacher. Not only is the Zumba workout intense but it works out specific areas of the body. It's easy to tell that the dances are created with a workout in mind. The classes are fun and have allowed me to keep a set workout schedule. When i'm not able to attend classes i don't just feel guilty, i'm sad. I love the people and the instructors. Taking a class or two here will help you realize exactly what i'm talking about and you wont want to stop going. Try it out!
