hear from attendees
“The studio is beautiful and functional: it has non-slip poles, a mattress, and a dance floor (especially for heels). The teachers are very experienced and adapt to the student’s level.”
“Much more than a dance studio, Boogaloo has become a second home to me, and every time I go there, I feel like I’m reunited with family! Gabriela and anyone who teaches there will undoubtedly provide a unique experience, where art and self-improvement meet to enrich our body and mind.
Pole dance is a much more complete sport than I ever imagined and is undoubtedly suitable for anyone, especially those seeking an enriching challenge. I was a bit lost in my life and free time until I started training here.
So far, the experience has enriched me so much... I’m eternally grateful. Long live art, long live dance, long live the feeling of fulfillment, long live Boogaloo! Thank you Gabriela for gifting the city of Setúbal with this blessed refuge <3”
