From the good:
- It is convenient to get to the studio
- Several halls, all close to the center
- A variety of styles – jazz-funk, hip-hop, girl, twerk, etc.
- There are a couple of good teachers (in particular, Daria and Ekaterina)
- A personalized approach, let's say. If you go to a group more or less constantly, the teacher remembers your name, corrects your movements in class, etc.
- Very reasonable prices
Now from the negative. Oh boy, where to start.
- A huge constant turnover of teachers
- Teachers recruit girls who have been dancing for a year or two on their own. I would like to remind you that the ability to reproduce movements is not equal to the ability to dance, is not equal to understanding musicality and is not equal to the ability to teach
- The level of teachers' choreographies is weak (for the reason, see the previous paragraph)
- The school's policy is quite aggressive. They constantly get into some kind of conflicts with other studios/ teachers, and even with students. I don't want to watch the Instagram of either the school or the teachers – the constant toxicity, how bad everyone is around, and only this school and its head are good. I have a very negative impression, to be honest
- In my opinion, they position themselves as the best school in Minsk for absolutely no reason. Well, honestly, guys, not at all. Especially after the video choreographies from the teachers
- There is no division into levels, everything is mixed in a pile
- In stories they constantly write that "a new group starts from scratch", although in fact, this group has been going on for a long time, but it's just the beginning of the week and the group just enters a new working week
In general, you can walk, but there are a lot of disadvantages
The Step Up team has a professional, friendly, youth-oriented and charming teaching staff who are passionate about their work, constantly growing and developing 💪🔥🫶 I found my own among the many interesting and modern trends and now I'm getting high with the guys from Step Up. I've been practicing for several months in a group of beginners together with experienced dancers, looking at whom you strive to be no worse, as a result, progress is on your face, I didn't even expect myself to be able to dance like this, and support My teacher is simply priceless🙏😊♥️ This is a special, atmospheric place where you discover and improve yourself under the guidance of the best, creative and creative teachers.
a wonderful dance studio! the halls are very spacious and clean, the teachers are attentive and real professionals in their field! I have been studying with Ekaterina's teacher for almost a year and I stay in pleasant feelings every time after class)
I would like to mention the opportunity to grow as a dancer in addition to the main classes, because master classes are often organized (including bringing top choreographers from other countries), as well as the opportunity to participate in performances and competitions!
I am completely satisfied with my choice of studio
