Top Coworking spaces in Brooklyn, United States

I am very lucky to have found this amazing space! The rooms are lovely and comforting and the terrific Yahama pianos are kept in excellent condition. The vibe is artistic and safe and the community is warm and inviting. The Music Room founder Alaina Ferris is the utmost professional. She runs The Music Room with great care and attends to any issues you may have very quickly. This is the perfect place if you want to practice or teach. Truly a gem.

First time working with studio lights, not just as a bystander. Tbh, I was a little nervous at the beginning , and by the end I wanted more time to shoot lol. Neriah was so great at breaking down the basics and making sure we left with information to reference back on our own. Good people, good vibes. 10/10 🙌🏽

Neriah was a pleasure to work with during my shoot in the CoLab Studio. He and his other talented artists of the class were inviting and enlivening to be around. I highly recommend booking out his studio for a shoot or work with Neriah himself and his plethora of talented artists, you will not be disappointed. Thank you for having me for the Lighting Social Vol. 21, I can’t wait for another one!

This place does no longer exist

Such an awesome studio that makes learning accessible for the community. Not only did I walk away with a wealth of knowledge, I also made priceless connections to other photographers. Follow them on insta and make sure you sign up for their Lighting Social mailing list!!

Wow! I learned so much from Neriah. He dropped so many gems for us. What a kind, patient teacher. I truly felt like I was in community and the vibes were all around great for learning. Thank you for creating this amazing space for accessible and high quality learning!

Lovely music room with a piano. Very peaceful and a great place to practice. Alaina is very responsive. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a practice space!

I was so lucky to find The Music Room! I was in search of a place to rent on a regular weekly basis that had some sound proofing so I could rehearse songs and record auditions. I only needed a few hours a week and I happened upon Spoke The Hub with The Music Room and immediately inquired. Alaina was so wonderful with the rental process and any necessary communication required throughout my time at the studio. She was very helpful in also breaking down what time slots suited my needs and how best to book the space. The rooms are perfectly equipped, basement-style with pianos, sound absorbing panels, music stand, etc. They are small but exactly what I needed to sing and make significant noise in. I would absolutely recommend The Music Room for anyone looking for a safe, affordable, and quiet space to teach private/small group music lessons or any self practice.

I’ve attended two lighting socials at the CoLab Studios and they’ve been extremely helpful and welcoming. Any question I have I am free to ask with no judgment. The social allows for hands on practice that you would not have the opportunity for through an online course. You have access to build a community of people at all levels of experience and can pick up small helpful tips outside of the lighting conversation to help improve your photography skills. I plan to attend as many of these socials as my schedule will permit.

The CoLab Studios has an amazing atmosphere for any session. I visited the studio for “The Lighting Social” an event that builds the community of photographers while exploring various lighting techniques. I came to gain a greater understanding of lighting but left with additional nuggets of wisdom I wasn’t expecting- including the “psychology of portraiture.” Before the session started Neriah (host) had the model begin with breathing and stretching exercises to make them more comfortable. This was a practice I haven’t used before but I now include it with every session.l and my clients are greatly appreciative of it.

Im from Philly and travel up for the Lighting Social events because of the knowledge provided here. I also know that when I have NY clients CoLab studios is where I’m shooting 📸

I've had the opportunity to work out of CoLab Studios as both a model and photographer; what a lovely experience! The space has everything you need from backdrops and props and awesome natural light, in addition to a makeup station and kitchen area for refreshments. I feel really comfortable shooting here. Quite easy to get to off the L train.

Truly an amazing studio that fosters community! Large and incredibly well equipped. It has everything you need to bring your vision to life. CoLab Studios runs free lighting socials to help people learn studio lighting. Safe to say, this place feels like home.

I rented space here as a gift for my partner, and we both loved the Music Room at Spoke the Hub! Alaina is so warm and responsive, and has created a wonderful nook for artists to use high-quality pianos in a welcoming environment.

Great practice rooms with convenient access! I used Studio B for solo practice. The room is beautiful and soundproofed well, and the piano was a joy to play. Alaina really puts thought and care into the space.

The owner (Richard) was super nice and hospitable. The chai infused flavor was the best one we tried but the ginger-citrus was also a close runner up. Nice experience, would repeat.

Amazing taste. Super friendly service. Be sure to know that it's hidden within the restaurant so don't be shy about inquiring!

Beautiful, gracious, well-kept and peaceful place for piano or voice lessons as well as an inspiring practice or composition space for musicians. We have come here for private piano lessons with the extraordinary teacher, Alaina Ferris, for years. Highest recommendation for Alaina and The Music Room!

The Music Room provides thoughtful and elegant rehearsal space for musicians. Safe, quiet, and beautiful rooms available for long term rental. I had a great experience practicing at the Music Room and would absolutely recommend it to any musicians looking for a peaceful and private practice space.

I rented space in The Music Room to both teach voice and piano lessons and compose music. I found the space ideal for both, as the piano is excellent quality, and the space is comfortable and has a pleasing interior design. There is a waiting room for student's parents to sit outside of the room. The location is convenient in Park Slope, with lots of restaurants around. The price is very affordable, and Alaina is so easy to work with: communicative, professional, and friendly.

I have never danced before in my life. I suddenly started with Balmir in April and cannot stop! I highly recommend this dancing school, because they have very talented, patient, friendly, RESPONSIBLE instructors who know their job and work with us very personally. I want to say big fat thank you to Marlene and Joel: thank you for your incredible job! I could not imagine that I will dance latin dances and not bad! Honestly! I improve my dancing skills with them every week! And also I like atmosphere in this school: during class time we have a lot of fun.
Also I like payment system it is very affordable and flexible (Jessica, thank you for that). And also schedule: it is pretty good for working people: they have evening classes during work week and Saturday classes. There are different levels from beginners to advanced, so you can create your own schedule. So, join us!!!!!

I. Love. Kombucha.

Thank you Marlene and Balmir Latin Dance Studio! My wife Jane and I had our first dance choreograph for our wedding at this studio. Balmir Latin Dance Studio was referred to us by my wife's friend Jessica Silva. It was my first time taking dance lesson and Marlene did such a great job with me. We had so much fun with Marlene. We will definitely recommend Balmir Latin Dance Studio to our friends and families.

This is definitely the place to be! After being away from dance for some time Balmir really helped me build my confidence as a dancer and provided an encouraging atmosphere to do so in. The classes are fun, the instructors are amazing and everyone has a great time while learning to dance. ALL levels are welcome, NO partner or experience is needed just walk up the steps and hit the dance floor. ANYONE can do this! Come check it out

Hands down the best Latin dance studio in Brooklyn. Earlier this year, I was looking for a place to learn Salsa on 2, so I tried Balmir and have been attending classes here since. The instructors/dancers are extremely talented and make every class fun to attend. I've tried all levels from beginner to advanced, and people are always willing to help out when needed. I'd definitely recommend to anyone.

Excellent Instructors, Great classes, Amazing dancers... If you want to know how to dance.....learn from the best of NY. Class schedules are during weeknights and weekends (fits great with working schedules).

The monthly practice dance socials are the best; you can practice with dancers of ALL levels. Would highly recommend for people who want to add a little "SASS" to their life.

They also have a 'First Class Free' offer - Why not give it a try!?!

I've been here for over a year now, and I still run out of work to this dance studio as I did the first couple weeks attending. This dance studio not only teaches well, but it has this special way of making you forget about all your troubles throughout the day (work, family, and other stressors). The instructor Eric, is so charismatic, and filled with personality; he turns the difficulty of learning salsa into cake. There's no pressure there, and he doesn't move onto the next segment until he knows for sure his students are comfortable with the material that was taught. Amazing place!

I was a little reluctant to take salsa lessons due to my inexperience, non-rhythmic dancing and body moves, a friend recommended I try Balmir Latin Dance Studio because the instructors there he said had patience with beginners, they all had a passion for dancing and the comradery of the studio made you want to learn. So I signed up and took a shot at taking lessons. BOY, my friend was 180% correct about this place, studio is clean and friendly and the instructors are absolutely fantastic. Even the owner (Mr. Balmir) was hands on with some of the classes and gave me key moves/shines/basic steps that I use at socials all over the city. I would like to thank the instructors and Mr Balmir for helping me become a better dancer and building my confidence to dance at socials.

PS : The frequent socials held at this studio are AMAZING... a must attend event

Excellent place to learn to dance and have fun doing it...the teachers are very knowledgeable and down to earth...never a dull moment in class...the atmosphere is wonderful, and people just seem to be happy and having fun all of the time...that's just in the classes...the parties are on a whole other level!! The staff and dancers at Balmir really know how to have a great time. If you're looking for a place to dance in brooklyn, Balmir is definitely for you
