What a fab space! I went for a dance workshop and was seriously impressed. 3Danks has everything you need—lockers to keep your stuff safe, clean bathrooms with showers, a phone charging station.
Aimee and Laurie were very punctual in their communication & offered us a great package to consider for our offsite - I would highly recommend this venue!
Definitely booking again here! best dance studio for sure, studio B is very big, modern, clean, and the perfect place to dance. Easy to connect phone to the speakers, and can change the lights.
