We've been with VSB for several years now starting when my child was a tiny ballerina at age 4. I…read morewanted to find a studio that had a focus on age-appropriate experiences with good, solid training in case my child wanted to get more serious as she grows, and would be in a spot to foster that. The staff is very talented as they work to grow the dancers abilities, technique, and confidence. They find a balance of fostering a love of dance, instilling structure, and rigor. There has been little to no turnover in staff since we have been there. I think that says a lot. The studio does two full-length ballets every year -- Nutcracker and a spring rotating ballet. These are exceptional productions -- the costuming, sets, choreography, etc -- and it's so wonderful to see kids grow through different levels and parts year after year. It's also amazing that the students get these types of performance opportunities. For the more serious students, VSB has strong company and actual pre-professional programs (many studios just use that as a marketing term, so pay attention to what that means) setting students up to continue dancing either in college or professionally in top ballet companies and programs. VSB brings students to local, regional and national ballet competitions for soloists and group performances. Many students earn scholarships for summer intensives and more intense full-time ballet schools. My child has many dance friends at the studio, and it is a positive experience for her connecting with other dancers across different ages, too. She absolutely loves it. Lastly, the studio space is impressive and well kept. This is incredibly important for safety and the longevity of dancers bodies and feet!

I wanted to find a date night for my husband's birthday and I got bored of dinner and movies. So I…read morehad a classic bad idea: "Hey, we haven't danced since our wedding! I LOVE dancing! Let's try dancing again! OK, maybe dancing isn't HIS favorite activity, but I'm the one scheduling it, right? What choice does he have?" This birthday outing was basically a bowling ball with the name Erin on it. A did a quick web search and found that on Friday nights, the Dance Scene has an hour lesson on a short routine within a style followed by a dance party (they're separate admission fees but can be combined - we paid for both). On date night, we arrived about ten minutes late to find the group working on an International Rumba routine, meaning, we were desperately lost and unprepared*. Since we couldn't follow the routine steps and the other people there were having some success, my husband didn't feel comfortable or happy staying for the dance party afterward. This was HIS birthday outing, after all, so I buried my disappointment and we decided to leave and find another activity. Anna the owner noticed we were having trouble keeping up and she was kind enough to offer us a free private lesson to make up for our bad experience (which, again, was totally our fault by virtue of arriving late!!). I didn't expect my husband to be interested, but we took her up on her offer and had a great time re-learning some basics of foxtrot and swing styles, and practicing our form. Our "frame" is pretty flimsy and our stride lengths probably never match, but I think we've improved! I'm personally excited to go back for another group lesson (though I might be going by myself... I'll just introduce myself to one of the silver foxes without a partner! Don't tell my husband). In regards to the private lesson: as a professional classical musician and private teacher of same, I've experienced hundreds of lessons from both the teacher and student perspective. I've got many friends and colleagues who teach as well, and whose methods (and results) I've observed firsthand. I've taught and been taught enough to know that, for learning efficiency and depth of subject knowledge, instruction must be tailored to the student. This probably sounds trite; ALL teachers would say that they tailor instruction to the needs of each student. MOST teachers, from my experience, don't tailor instruction. I wish I was better at it, myself. It's the hardest part of teaching. From a lesson alongside my husband, I observed that Anna does that gear-switching with the best of them. I can't recommend her services highly enough - literally, I'm not an experienced enough dancer to give her an objective professional review on how good a dancer she is. But I CAN give this review as one teacher to another: Anna is champion of pedagogy. *In regards to the group lessons being too advanced for us, Anna did assure us that they usually have two instructors in a group class and try to accommodate different dancing levels in the same evening to the extent possible. We came in too late and on the wrong night (her co-instructor had an outside commitment).

Fantastic instruction, particularly from Ms. Pat (the owner) and her seasoned highschool-aged…read moreassistants. Absolutely zero complaints regarding the value of lessons here. My issue, however, is with the abhorrent waiting area & lobby. With as many families and children who enter and exit the building, there is zero excuse not to have built a larger more accommodating front lobby. Kids and teens kick off their shoes and leave them EVERYWHERE while the lack of seating forces some parents to wait in the car (keep in mind, there is only curbside parking unless you leave your vehicle across the road in a CVS lot). I wish they could knock out a wall, reduce the size of the main studio or figure something out. Again, not much thought was put in to this aspect of the facility. While I stress that the actual instruction is outstanding, there is very little organization when it comes to ushering students aged 3-6 in & out of their lesson. This age requires guidance and direction, but in between classes is a free-for-all. Instructors should retrieve, line up and lead their students into whichever area they're heading to. Given the aforementioned situation with the waiting area, it'd be a huge help in reducing some of that front lobby chaos. Ms. Pat is incredibly knowledgeable, kind hearted and direct with both her staff and the families who attend. It's a great studio, especially for first timer little ones and I recommend DDA to anyone seeking options for dance. Just be aware of the surrounding factors listed above and you won't be as surprised/frustrated as I've seen some parents be.

Several drop-in classes are offered each week (primarily tap, but several others as well) for adults at all different levels. I know there are also classes for kids, but I'm not as familiar with that piece. The facility is beautiful - kind of a converted warehouse setting with several devoted rooms. The studios are also available to rent by the hour to others, which is awesome - affordable rehearsal space is always needed. Anyway, whether you've taken many dance classes or never put on a pair of shoes, reach out and ask what class might be good for you.
