Great place with friendly instructors. We had a "dance party" for visiting grandchildren (ages…read more9-4). The children received an hour of hip-hop dance instruction in the studio, and we had a family party with children and parents in another room afterwards. A super event for our out of town visitors who needed a day away from the beach. A very professional studio; an interesting reuse of old mill space. Highly recommended.

How I found Michelle at Astaire is another story, but I am forever glad that I did. For years and…read moreyears I have wanted to find out if I have two left feet or if it was just something my ex-W insisted was the case. Turns out they are not a perfectly matching set (L+R) but with Michelle's sweet and patient help they are functional. When my daughter gets married, or when there is music playing in a piazza in Milan, I'll be ready thanks to Michelle. (In the interim I enjoy every lesson with my GF both because of Michelle's patience and guidance and because Corinn and I are often laughing at our "skillsets" so far.). Have to say that I am really shocked at how easy it has been to progress from shy cannot-dance-no-matter-what to almost fluid albeit a bit studied movement. It has helped immensely that Michelle is non-judgmental, patient, and quite a good communicator.

This is my first experience with a dance studio, and I'm very pleased with it. Warwick (the owner)…read moreand his wife are wonderful and kind to work with. Never had any problems at all. My daughter loves going to dance and shows me the new moves she's learned on a regular basis. Her teacher is wonderful with the kids and they all get a little parting gift at the end of each class (sticker, small toy, valentines, candy etc..). She become friends with other girls who attend as well. This is her 2nd year, and as long as she continues to enjoy it, we will keep coming back! P.S. The Nutcracker performance is the BEST children's performances I've ever seen! They put so much effort into it, and it shows! Thanks Academy of Dance!

My niece went here on a "bring a friend day". I was initially not too excited because we had gone…read moreto their version of the Nutcracker the year before. The show seemed to be dominated by the owner's kids. The first thing I noticed was the room was extremely small with very low ceilings. There was a ton of kids in the class and the floor has a large warp in it. The teacher was extremely enthusiastic but the owner was super pushy and not genuine at all. I couldn't imagine sitting there in a cramped waiting room with him every week. I suggest Sharon Lux in Arundal.

"Sexy" makes me giggle. When I saw 50 Shades of Gray, I did so on a Sunday afternoon when I knew…read morethere would be a ton of Octogenarians tittering along with me at both the innuendo and blatant hot, hot, hot things happening on screen. As you can imagine, the idea of Red Hot & Ladylike - a studio where you can classes on cabaret jazz, burlesque, go-go, and hip hop dancing - makes me very nervous especially since their motto is "bringing sexy back one lady at a time." The idea of touching myself, letting my hair down, and being seductive makes me wanna cringe... until I met MissE, the perfect person to run this kind of place. She's outgoing, she's empowered and empowering, she's encouraging, she's all accepting, and I couldn't think of a better person to help women find their inner diva, goddess, and all around badass self. I've taken several classes here now and it's always the same: 1. Sign up for the class. 2. Immediately regret it - I can't dance. I don't do sexy. What the hell was I thinking? 3. Show up and feel the warm sunshine that is MissE's personality. 4. Dance (awkwardly), have a ridiculous amount of fun, and get excited to try it again someday. Doesn't matter if you can or can't dance, doesn't matter if you're a woman or a man, doesn't matter if you're already leading with your vagina or not (this makes more sense when you take class with her)... this is fun, fun, fun even when it's uncomfortably (for me) hot, hot, hot. Good for one off experiences, good for getting a unique and different work-out in, good for meeting new open-minded and friendly people, good for bachelorette parties, and good for spicing up your romantic life (she does a "Bring Your Human Prop to Class" that I'd definitely do again!).

Ended up here for a bachelorette party and it was SO much fun!!! I highly recommend to kick-off a…read morebachelorette or birthday party - it totally broke the ice and kicked off our weekend perfectly. Added bonus, this class actually really helped my lackluster dance moves. Miss E is hilarious and totally knew how to handle rowdy bachelorette girls and made sure to offered to take videos and pics of us as well. Sidenote: as a feminist who's taken the occasional Women's Studies class, I was impressed at Miss E's emphasis on empowerment and being inclusive. Very safe, accepting space.
