I don't really know how to dance, but I learned some very basic Salsa and Merengue at this studio,…read morewhich I have enthusiastically used for the past nine years with great success. Seriously, this is no small achievement, as I have a typical fear of looking stupid on the dance floor. After learning how to move, and direct a partner, I can confidently pair up with my Wife and enjoy the music completely. The studio spaces are beautiful, very large and partitioned during the week, and fully open during competitions and the weekend socials. Socials here are a great way to meet new people and practice among people who are at your level, and even beyond your level. Everyone is friendly and pleasant, and it's the safest venue for you to practice what you've learned. We initially took group lessons at some ridiculously low rate. They have three tracks for Salsa/ Latin dance, and we took all three tracks in order. I would say that's 18 weeks of practice, and we got much better. My Wife already knew how to move, so this was in essence remedial instruction for me and partnering lessons for us both. You do not stay with one partner, so you are forced to call up adaptability early, which is a good learning principle. The instructors were very warm, friendly, knowledgeable individuals who put you at ease; in only one case did I ever see another student get visibly frustrated by the lesson, so 36 trips and only one bad day is remarkable. The private lessons, which are extremely worthwhile if you are far below your nominal partner's level of expertise, are affordable and a tremendous asset. You get better, quicker, and the one-on-one instruction is always better than a group class for working on your specific deficiencies. So, to wrap up, great venue, great people, affordable lessons, and a real sleeper hit with the Friday night socials. In all, this is the dance studio I would recommend to anyone with the means to get there. Top-notch. -C

I have nothing bad to say about this place. I really don't…read more Compared to other dance studios, there aren't really any "hidden expenses" when you go to dance at this studio. The lessons cost what they cost, and if anything additional costs more they're the first to tell you immediately. From a business standpoint this is how other dance studios should strive to be like. Let your reputation precede you (this place is run by a great family), value your clients, and slowly but surely they'll come streaming in... and stay! The only reason why I don't dance here myself is that I use a private instructor in the local area. We do use this studio often though, as they have tons of floor rental space. Group lessons can be mixed here though. The ones that are filled are wonderful. They're taught by instructors that like to push people. If you get with a group of people that is just there to mess around though, this can be a somewhat miserable experience, much like anything, Private lessons here are great, though. The instructors have decades of experience in teaching and know exactly how to simplify and layer according to the student's abilities. If you're new to dance and want to learn? Go here. No exceptions that they are the undisputed king of the area. Most ballroom dancers would agree with this.

My husband and I began learning salsa, bachata, and merengue with Sasha about four months ago, and…read morewe've been attending her classes regularly ever since. We started in the beginners class knowing little to nothing and have already progressed to the more advanced level in that time. Sasha is an incredible instructor; clear, patient, and highly skilled at breaking down steps into manageable pieces. She layers skills thoughtfully, building confidence while continually adding complexity. One of the things we appreciate most is how quickly she can gauge what each dancer needs. Even in a group setting, she's excellent at pausing the class to correct and clarify, making sure everyone truly understands before moving on. She also complements her classes with social dances, which give students a chance to practice in a relaxed setting, and she has built a community that is not only supportive but genuinely warm and welcoming. We look forward to our weekly escape from work, and we're always surprised by how much we continue to learn in such a short period of time. Try a class or two; you'll be hooked.

While other studios are driven by greed and how many gigantic trophies they can accumulate, Ms. Debbie has always put the dance education of her students first and foremost and does not settle for anything less than that from her staff. Her preschool D.R.E.A.M. program is the best. No one is better with the babies than Ms. Debbie!

Ms. Debbie's unconditional compassion, love, support, dedication, time, and effort shows through each class that passes through the studio, and most importantly through our recital weekend. With another recital weekend behind us, it is evident that Ms. Debbie goes above and beyond what is expected in order to make this show a success. Despite having to run around and delegate a thousand responsibilities, resolve issues, and make sure every child remains safe, she somehow stills finds time to help with the little things like moving a prop off stage or helping someone do their hair before performing. I can't imagine many owners doing the same if "all they care about is taking your money." One thing that continues to inspire me about Ms. Debbie is her strength. She is not one to easily pass off responsibilities because she wants to ensure that every aspect of recital weekend (and throughout the year) runs smoothly and as fair as possible. Taking on the challenge of this chaotic weekend and the months of preparation leading up to it is no easy task!! Lastly, Ms. Debbie is so well-loved; she graciously passes on her passion for dance to every student she encounters. I am always in awe by how many students come up to her on a daily basis saying that they miss her and love her. Some of these students she has never even had before! That is the loving energy that Ms. Debbie gives off; I don't know about you, but that is something that is not so easy to come across today. A simple "thank you" is never enough to show how much the teachers, staff, students, and Ms. Debbie have shaped me into the person I am today. Even more special than that, Ms. Debbie gave me a dance studio that I can call "home."

His schedule is flexible to meet the convenience of those who schedule private lessons while groups classes are scheduled throughout the evening when more people are available.
