But I don't think I was…read morefully prepared for this incredible group of people I met and this amazing sister (Nina), who owns this business and the choreographed dance prepared for us. I loved the versatility of the group there; clearly, every culture and age was represented, which made it even more fun. This is what the doctor ordered for me since I had been in my head all day about some things. Nina was one of the most encouraging, energetic, and supportive persons for this class. She made you want to push yourself to learn the choreography steps. She also let everyone know not to take themselves seriously and enjoy the dance, which I did by the end of the class. Now, let me say that I always thought I had some moves. But Bollywood challenged me a bit--okay, a lot. I took a video, but it's for my viewing pleasure; sorry. I sent it to my girlfriends so we can book a class with Nina. Whatever you do, please do yourself a favor and book a class or try a free class to see how much fun it is and how much exercise you can get. You will not be sorry. Hats off to Nina and ZIND Performing Academy for a job well done.

They routinely perform recitals that draw huge crowds to their varied performance venues. We have gone to many performances and every time, we have enjoyed ourselves.

If you have a young person that wants to dance or if you want to support excellent local talent, give District Dance Company a look. Dance well, my friends.

The owner's lack of empathy and patience when dealing with children was shocking considering children are her primary customers. Her lack of professionalism, combined with an alarming level of cultural insensitivity, compounded our dissatisfaction. Our experience highlighted a lack of interest for those outside the studios perceived inner circle. These issues, coupled with the owner's attitude, led to our extreme dissatisfaction and ultimate decision to seek a more inclusive and supportive dance environment.

While the instructors are knowledgeable, the lack of oversight of young dancers between classes, in break and changing rooms, and generally during downtime borders on malpractice. The culture of bullying that emerged led to dangerous consequences. Even when management was alerted to bullying by several parents, the perpetrators were allowed to continue in the program. Beware: some children are still recovering from the psychological abuse.

Asanga is a great teacher (and dancer!), and the studio is stunning with two walls of windows. Unlike when you take a Zumba class at a gym, there is ample space per student.

This allows for different classes to occur at the same time. There are different packages that you can sign up for in terms of how many private classes you want to take. By being a student of the studio, you are also able to participate in group classes as well (generally there are 3 Newcomers or Pre-Bronze group dance classes a week, great for beginners). The instructors are absolutely phenomenal. They are knowledgeable, extremely friendly and supportive, and constantly encourage us and themselves to improve our dance skills. In fact, they engage in continuing education by going to dance competitions and learning from others as well. At this studio, you'll rotate dance instructors which is great so that you get experience with different dance styles and tips from different people. My husband and I started dance class as a way to prepare for our first dance at our wedding. We had never properly danced before and our bodies just don't "go with the flow." But...the instructors helped us get more comfortable with dancing and now it's become a shared hobby of ours! After the wedding, we decided to continue going to dance class to continue skill building in a supportive environment that pushes us out of our comfort zones. We've learned all sorts of dance styles - club swing, single swing, triple swing, foxtrot, waltz, merengue, bachata, rumba, salsa, tango, cha cha, and tons more. We can't wait to see our dance journey continue to evolve!

They have a ton of space for dancing which is really all you really need to worry about. We went for a free introductory session where we learned the basics of the foxtrot, waltz, and foxy in about 45 minutes and we had one on one treatment with an instructor. They will talk to you after the session to try to get you to sign up but they did not pressure us and they give an introductory discount which I think is reasonable. Once you sign up for one on one sessions, you are also able to take group sessions and parties which is a pretty good deal! The staff was super helpful and so hospitable. Overall a great experience as we are looking forward to making this part of our weekly date nights!
