How we score studios
Every Studio Score is put together by hand, from signals we can actually check. We never sell a ranking, and no studio can pay to move up. When a studio has not been reviewed yet, we say so rather than guess.
Verified from their own site
We read the studio’s own website and confirmed the basics for ourselves.
Information depth
How much practical detail is published - hours, styles, pricing, amenities.
Welcoming to beginners
Signs that new students are looked after - intro offers and all-levels classes.
Teacher credentials
Registered teachers (RYT) and teacher training on offer.
Time in the community
How long they have been teaching where they are.
Easy to find
A secure, findable website and an active presence.
Community reviews
What people who have practiced there tell us - honest, first-hand, and moderated. Reviews feed the score as they come in.
The overall score weights verification and useful information most heavily, then credentials, time in the community, how welcoming a place is to beginners, and how easy it is to find. It is a guide, not a verdict - always trust your own first class.
