PopRox Dance U-District

After moving to Seattle back in 2023, I had gone from dancing 4-5 days a week to nothing and had lost a lot of confidence. A year ago I stumbled upon Poprox when searching for kpop classes in my area. I was in a kpop cover group for a few years but never had taken a class so I was quite nervous. However, after my first class that all went out the window and I had found what I had been missing the past few years. Everyone was welcoming and I felt no judgement. Now I have been going for over a year now and my classes are something that I really look forward to at the end of the week!:)

We had our wedding first dance choreographed at PopRox and had an amazing experience beginning to end! May was so helpful in helping us curate the vibe we wanted and was flexible with our scheduling, and our instructors Derrick & Linda were so fun to work with and understood what we were going for completely. Overall an experience I would recommend, and we were ready for the dance floor on wedding day 🙂

The U-District PopRox studio has such good energy. The classes are always fun, the instructors are super encouraging, and it’s just a really welcoming space no matter your level. It’s the perfect mix of challenge and chill vibes highly recommend it if you want to dance, move, and have a good time. 🙂

I’ve been coming to PopRox almost weekly for over a year and have truly enjoyed the classes. However, a recent encounter with their management left me very disappointed. The situation was handled with unnecessary hostility and an unfriendly attitude, which completely changed how I feel about this place. I understand policies and waitlist rules exist, but the way they’re communicated matters. The interaction felt more about asserting authority than fostering a welcoming environment.

PopRox is amazingly talented and welcoming dance studio! As non-dancers, we have taken many of their intro K-pop dance classes and always had an incredible time. We also recently had the pleasure of having May and Derrick be our private instructors + choreographers for our wedding’s first dance, which involved a K-pop style choreography, even involving backup dancers. They designed an amazing routine for us, and created such a welcoming learning environment that we nailed the performance! Would highly recommend!

I've loved my experience trying a wide range of dance classes at PopRox! I really appreciate PopRox's diversity, including their different class styles (K-Pop, Dance After Dark, Jazz Funk, Hip Hop... there's really something for everyone!), their fabulous teachers, and their students. What an awesome community - I'll be sad to leave it now that I'm moving away from Seattle!

I have been to the U district and Capitol Hill locations. Every time I go I feel welcomed! The vibes and the space at both places are great. They offer a variety of classes that can fit your taste. You don’t ever feel judge when you go in which I really appreciate. My confidence is always higher when I leave!
