My husband and I decided to take a few dance lessons prior to our May 2023 wedding and realized we…read morewere sleeping on this gorgeous dance studio located conveniently in Wilmington's Independence Mall. After reaching out to discuss the available options, we were directed to consider a group class to learn the basics, followed by private lessons, both of which were a great experience. We initially took a four week group course of Hustle/FoxxyTrot, taught in their larger ballroom. We were initially feeling anxious and self-conscious, but quickly realized that many of the other couples were also beginners, though there were certainly more-skilled participants that were clearly "regulars" at the school. Most in the class signed up with a partner (at a slight discount!), though there were a few individuals who had to partner with each other or the instructor. Generally, we were divided by gender to be taught the initial steps, then came together with our partners to practice while the instructor rotated to offer individual suggestions. Overall, it was hard to learn a ton in four weeks, but we definitely learned a few basic steps that came in handy for our private lessons. After our group class, we signed up for five private lessons taught by Tania, who took the time at our initial class to get to know us and understand the layout of our wedding venue. While our intention initially was to learn a few steps and feel more comfortable on the dance floor, we wound up learning a full, 2-3 minute choreographed dance for our first dance. Though neither of us had much dance experience (and one of us barely understood the concept of a rhythm), Tania guided us with patience and ease, providing encouragement when we needed it and incorporating our feedback and requests to build a routine that we felt comfortable with. To our surprise, we were able to learn and execute our first dance nearly flawlessly, impressing all of our friends and family on our big day. As a thank you / wedding gift, the studio gave us a discount for a future group class --- we're very much looking forward to using it for another group class!

The classes are a trip as there could be anyone from a totally brand new beginner, with no experience whatsoever, to those of us who in our brains think we can still dance like we did when we were younger, but then are faced with the reality of our bodies not exactly moving the way they do in our minds :) Our instructor Karen accommodates all of those circumstances and there is an adult intermediate class to advance to if the beginner class ever gets too easy (HA!)
