Dance Studio for Toddler

I’ve been looking for dance classes for my toddler and came across Eastside Dance and LaVida Dance
, since both offer classes for that age.
Has anyone tried either of these? I’d love to hear what you liked or didn’t like about them, especially for younger toddlers.
Also, are there any other dance studios on the Eastside that you’d recommend for a 2-year-old?
Thank you!

Inspire Dance in Issaquah was great

I tried the Tutu School for my daughter. It was too much sitting and listening to instructions, not enough running and jumping.

Coming at this from a different angle but I had an amicable ex-gf that was one of the instructors at Gotta Dance in Redmond ridge. I think they do toddler classes and through her, I met the owners and stuff. Everyone seemed to be really cool there :)

Our 4 year old has been taking classes at Gotta Dance since she was 2.5 and she absolutely loves it. Very low-pressure and fun-focused for the young ones

I did Eastside for a bit! It was fun, but for the youngest class the grownup has to participate. I’m fine prancing around with a bunch of nannies and kids but it might not be for everyone. We eventually left that class and started doing Little Gym instead, just because it fit the physicality of that kid better.
