San Francisco Dance Space

"I love San Francisco dance space with all my heart. It’s been nearly 11 years since I first started dancing there and has been a wonderful and lifting journey ever since. The teachers are so incredibly talented and influential to young aspiring dancers. The owner, Laura Wexler has been one of the most loving and hardest working people I have met."

"My child has been a dancer with Ms. Laura and the teachers at San Francisco Dance Space for 12 years. She has grown from casually interested in dancing because a friend was doing it to intensely passionate about dance. Recently we had to put a limit to the number of days she could take classes here otherwise she would be there everyday. She loves it so much. She has had nothing but a positive experience here with every instructor she has worked with. The owner, Ms. Laura, pushes her students to work hard but is also extremely caring and compassionate with all of her students. She is an excellent teacher and seems to have a personal connection with each and every student to bring out their best. The end of year performance is extremely well orchestand obviously a labor of love for the staff and the students. If your child wants to push themselves and expand their practice beyond only SF Dance Space she is there for them. She is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about programs throughout the city as well as summer intensive programs etc. SF Dance Space has been and all around great experience for our family, I couldn’t recommend it any higher. During the Covid shutdown the studio staff was able to pivot pretty quickly and transition instruction online so students could have access and some consistency during these stressful times."

"My daughter has been taking ballet at SF Dance Space for 12 years now. Each year I have been amazed by how much my daughter has grown as a dancer. Ms. Laura, the founder, is an extraordinary dance instructor and director. She and her team of instructors are unique in their ability to inspire, challenge, and develop young dancers. They also care deeply about each student. Every year concludes with an incredible performance with beautiful staging. Ms. Laura is warm, attentive, hard-working, and responsive. We feel so fortunate that SF Dance Space has been a part of our daughter's life!"

"My daughters have been dancing with Ms Laura and her team for over 12 years. The teachers are all so caring and compassionate. This is not a movement class - this is learning ballet and contemporary with proper form and alignment. The spring shows are so amazing as she weaves not just the beginners but the older pointe classes into one cohesive story and makes a beautiful production that the girls are so proud to share with all their family and friends. I would HIGHLY recommend SF Dance Space if you have a child who dreams of being a ballerina and loves to dance. That's how we started and our girls' have only grown since we've been with her studio."

"My daughter has been going to SF Dance Space for 8 years. She has had many teachers over the years and every single one has been magical and contributed to my daughter's love of dance in so many ways. The woman who runs the studio is incredible - I think of her as the matriarch of our dance family. She is responsive, caring, genuine and instills discipline, but incorporates fun and laughter as well. She hires great teachers, and she knows so much about what she does, but more importantly she knows and cares about so many families and dancers. I've heard so many horror stories about dance studios near and far - I could not be more grateful or happy that we are part of the San Francisco Dance Space family. And, during COVID, SF Dance Space responded and adapted swiftly to ensure dancers were still getting training and continuing their love of dance."
