After a false start at another studio where I didn't feel appreciated, I found Jane and Fritzi (RIP) who immediately let me know I was in a place where the love of dance was paramount and that "NO PRESSURE" was their modus operandi. Jane makes sure that fees are affordable and that every class is filled with substance and laughter. I'm looking forward to many more spins around their new expanded dance floor!

I did some classes with a specific niche dance teacher who isn't a "regular" teacher at this studio…read morebut instead paid to use the space. This review isn't about the teacher but about everything else. So if you're thinking about using them for your own rental (or booking for photo shoots like their site mentions), this review is for you. Every time I was there one of the two owners would sit and watch the majority of the class with their pet dog that would lounge on the furniture at the front or in their retail area. It's really inappropriate and distracting. One time someone stepped in dog crap inside and tracked it around the front seating area. Just... ew. Gross. Do these ladies bring their pets when they teach or is it only when someone else pays to use the space? One of the owners micromanaged the sound level the whole time she was there. Mind you, the speaker never popped or crackled or hit a level to worry about damaging it, nor were the neighboring businesses open to complain... I'm still laughing about it because their site boasts that they have quality sound but then don't want to let you use it. And then the chiming in when she had no business because it wasn't her class. If I wanted a boomer's opinion about something I would call my mom. From a student's perspective, this is objectively a nice studio space... If the floors didn't have a hump in one section, a ton of windows with no curtain thus blinding half the room perfectly with reflections from the sun, and a lingering buzzkill while you're trying to enjoy a class. I understand they're probably paranoid about their merchandise growing legs and walking off, but is there nothing they could do in a back corner to not feel like they're being a spectator? The decoration is cute, they have rotating artists set up their work, and this place has a lot of potential to be great. But either they need to have a system to trust the person teaching and give them a spare key (there's interior cameras...) or they need to figure out better customer service skills. It's like the boomeriest boomer that ever boomed opened up a business so they had something to do with their time. I wish these two the best of luck with their other classes and hope my experiences are unique to the times I was there.

You can really tell the owner has a passion for dance and loves helping people become confident with themselves and teaching them how to move. They were learning a "So You Think You Can Dance" routine when I visited and everybody looked like they were having a blast. If I wasn't taking down quotes and snapping photos, I definitely would have wanted to get up and learn some dance routines as well. The owner is really involved in the community and regularly works with the blind and visually impaired to offer them dance lessons, in addition to teaching children through the Palm Harbor Public Library. One of the kids was there and showed off her dance moves in front of everyone, it was really cool. One family drove down all the way from the east coast for the week just to have their daughter learn some ballroom dancing. Last year this studio was featured on "So You Think You Can Dance" so I think that is a pretty awesome thing to happen for Tampa Bay and for the owner. If I lived in Palm Harbor, I would definitely check out some classes when I have some down time.

The age range for her classes is for ages 3 through adult, and anyone with any skill level and background is welcomed with open arms. Hands down, I very highly recommend Miss.

Because of its performance and entertainment aspects, ballroom dance is also widely enjoyed on stage, film, and television. Ballroom dance may refer, at its widest definition, to almost any type of partner dancing as recreation. However, with the emergence of dancesport in modern times, the term has become narrower in scope, and traditionally refers to the five International Standard and five International Latin style dances. The two styles, while differing in technique, rhythm and costumes, exemplify core elements of ballroom dancing such as control and cohesiveness. In the United States, two additional variations are popular: American Smooth and American Rhythm, which combine elements of both traditional Latin and Ballroom dances.The studio has been location in Clearwater, Florida. 33763 since 2012
