The studio offers a variety of Latin and ballroom dances group classes throughout the week, with a focus on teaching core principles to start, and different levels that allow you to learn more complex techniques as you advance. There are also private lessons you can take with instructors at the studio, and fun social dance events from time to time. It's also a great place to meet new people thanks to the culture that the studio has created for its students.

Great teachers. Glad I am learning dance technique not just steps. The classes are fun and a…read morepartner is not needed. Dance partners rotate.

The Tiny Dancers Team has been wonderful, professional, and accommodating - a true bright light in a hard year. It's a lovely and clean space and I can't say enough good things about Jenna, Donna, & Emilia. My daughter loves Tiny Dancers!

I can't adequately express what a gift Tiny Dancers has been for our family this summer. Our…read moredaughter - who is a love and so, so very shy - has really come out of her shell over the last few weeks of Tiny Dancers virtual ballet classes and camps. Having these classes and camps to look forward to has been a joy for her and for us, and the studio has added a lot of fun to an otherwise housebound summer. I should add that for us, the excitement that the Tiny Dancers instructors create is about so much more than dance (though we LOVE dance). My daughter will be taking kindergarten virtually this fall - a decision that tears us apart, but that is necessary for our family. Through Tiny Dancers, our daughter has become much more comfortable with online learning - and for us, that makes all the difference. Before we started our Tiny Dancers classes, we were apprehensive about "online kindergarten" - now we feel much more certain that no matter how it goes, she'll be much more comfortable with the format than she would have been otherwise.

The Fairfax location is very unorganized on the front end and back end. Some coaches are clearly not knowledgeable of the competitiveness of the sport, routines were poorly put together and poorly executed, no major growth in athletes I even had to take my daughter to get privates at another nearby gym. At competitions there was no uniformity in how some athletes looked in routines with sloppy tumbling and stunts and the hairstyles they expected our children to wear were really outdated (sometimes a simple ponytail will get the job done). I have relationships with families that take their kids to neighboring programs and ultimately their daughters are happy where they are with learning, traveling, and being competitive. This location stands out -in a bad way. We did not return to this gym because overall it needs a lot of work with leadership in staff, organization, more resources and so much more! There are many other all star programs in VA that will give you your money's worth and also provide your child with a great experience.

Having such complex PTSD meant that there was always a higher risk that I would get metaphorically "lost" between my own life's struggles, and the struggles that my condition forced upon me. Talking through the years with especially Jennifer Hannett meant that I was able to make a future for myself by beginning to heal and close wounds in my past. I may not have graduated to a more sense of normalcy quickly, but I assure you that I would still be stuck in the horrors of the past, had I not been so fortunate to be at specifically the Gil Institute. Honestly, this is the place to go if you are ready to take back your life.
