Dancing in the street and inside Exile Professional Gym on 2nd Avenue

Just noting the new exterior at 27 Second Ave. (it was still behind plywood last time we looked) … the new home of Exile Professional Gym (EXPG for short) — billed as "the first and the only dance studio for Street Dance."

Per the EXPG website, they offer vocal and dance classes encompassing a wide variety of styles (hip hop, house, lock, among others).

EXPG officially opened yesterday. And here's a look inside via the EXPG website…

Maybe throw on a few extra floors on the two-level building a la Ben Shaoul's ugly gray box next door. Or maybe a CVS/Duane Reade/Walgreens/etc. The usual!

EXPG is expected to open Sept. 1. And the exterior will look like this…
