Stepping Out Studios Review

Great studio with terrific staff and teachers. Special shout out to Stephanie Springer and Bibi Marie!

I have not taken any of their classes but this studio is home to some of the best salsa parties in New York: La Vieja Guardia (every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month), Jimmy Anton's (every 1s and 3rd Sunday of the month) and Toda La Noche (the first Saturday of each month). If you are looking for awesome salsa dancing, this is where you will find it!

After reading all the positive reviews of this place, I always had been wanting to check it out for years. As I didn't take a lesson with any staff there, just rented floor space with my dance partner... I can only review the facilities. The floor space is small just like anywhere else in NYC. There are two large poles about 2-3 feet wide in the main ballroom that divide it up and soak up a lot of space as well. There are a handful of smaller side rooms. The floor quality is amongst the worst I've seen, even by NYC standards. There's laminate flooring just over concrete... and you can really feel it on your feet after not too long of a session.

It was nice to finally see this studio, and I hear it's great for salsa and tango... but I won't be renting floor space anytime here soon.

Update 31 August 2017: Changed to 4 stars after they updated to a sprung wooden floor. It's much better than it used to be. Keep in mind that this is primarily a place to go with a private instructor than an actual cohesive studio.

Biggest dance studio(s) possible in NYC and houses many of the world's greatest International Latin Ballroom competitors and coaches. All kinds of dancing and exercise programs as well as other events happen here! It is an amazing place to be!

Best rental space for socials and all sorts of dance classes.

This is a really great studio if you're looking to go somewhere to have fun and not be intimidated by professional students and overly packed spaces.

Nelson Flores' intro salsa class is a heckin good time man

Very central location. I rented space for my rehearsal , everything was accommodated for. They even had marble showers which I did not expect, and the staff was overall friendly. Definitely recommend if you need some space.

Took a couple of lessons before my daughter's wedding. Peter was just a sweetheart! So patient and kind!!

Best latin ballroom dance studio in NYC. Nice week end social dance .

4.5 stars. This is a gem of a studio completely friendly to the novice dancer and those just looking to get their groove on. My favorite instructors are Wil-son for his cardio hip hop classes. I've taken his Zumba and while fun and will definitely make you sweat, the cardio hip hop is more challenging as it's choreography and he always throws in a tricky breakdance move at the end.
