I look forward to working with him again I was able to Meet the owner who took the time to speak with me personally help me pick out shoes discuss my options. Everyone there had a smile on their face very welcoming. Extremely talented. We have a great introductory offer and plenty of open dance parties that students are welcome to participate in. I hope to take advantage of everyone of them and I can't wait to see how my dancing improves over the next weeks and months. Definitely worth a visit. Check it out.

It is fantastic for both recreational students as well as for preparing the more serious dancers for competition, college dance teams, and professional dancing. The studio is clean and pretty and in a convenient location off Rt 1& 138 at the Tower (aka near smoothies and donuts lol), and honestly, it's worth our 25 minute drive from our town. Parents are able to watch their kids through the viewing window in each of the two studios, or just sit and chill during class on the comfy couch, chat with other parents, or watch the sunset from the chairs on the quieter side, or they can feel safe leaving their children in the teachers' care while running errands. The Teachers are kind, fun, and loving, but also stern and get down to business when they need to be. They really know how to keep the fun and joy in dancing. Val has a way of making each kid feel special and each parent feel like her best friend. And the recitals.... Just wow! They put on such an amazing performance, and a video copy of the show and professional action digital photos are included with your ticket!! I am in awe at the high skill level, perfection, beauty, and sass of all numbers, but especially the older dancers and the teams. I have been moved to tears or clapped and cheered in excitement with so many numbers. My youngest and I usually even stay to watch to second showtime to see all of the other routines because we love it so much and have so much fun at the shows. So impressed with Val and her studio; can't recommend it enough.

She makes it fun but still challenging enough that the students learn exactly what they need to become better dancers. She teaches them the correct terminology for the dance moves, even at a young age. We love this! Super beautiful and clean studio space, great for all ages! We can't say enough good things about Soles Dance Academy!

The workouts are amazing, we sweat, burn the calories and above all Erica and Laurie make them super fun and enjoyable. I cannot believe I am sayIng this- when the discussion is about a work out , I look forward to going to the class. My Saturday's and Sunday's - usually be like just be in bed, lazy and food but after I joined these classes, I wake up , work out and you feel good about yourself. I have so much energy for the whole day. It hasn't only improved my physical activity but I have become conscious about my eating habits as well. Erica is so welcoming and always makes you feel included and the best part is I made so many friends and you feel like a part of family. Thank you Erica and Laurie. You guys are really amazing . PS- my daughter joins me for Zumba classes every Wednesday and its the best. She loves it

We found Dance Expressions through a local group we are apart of and this girl of mine is LOVING it. Ms Lauren is her instructor and she has the patience of a saint with these littles. Ms Shannon communicates well with the parents and keeps everyone in the loop! If I could change anything though it would be to make the lobby a bit larger so we can see them practicing with a few more seats. I'm not too comfortable just dropping my (five year old) babe quite yet. I'm glad we chose DE- they are super affordable and are always doing things to help bring down costs! #fundraising

From the moment we stepped into Fred Astaire, Daria made us feel like we were born to dance (even if we were initially just born to trip over each other's feet). She choreographed our wedding dance to our favorite country song, and somehow managed to turn two left feet into something romantic, graceful, and genuinely us. Every dip and spin she taught was filled with encouragement, laughter, and just the right amount of sass. Daria doesn't just teach you steps--she makes you feel like you're starring in your own version of Dancing with the Stars. She builds your confidence with every compliment, and before you know it, you're dancing like no one's watching... even though everyone totally is at those Friday night parties she convinced us to join (and we're glad she did). We learned our first dance so quickly that she went ahead and taught us a second one-tailored to our strengths. So if you see us out there hustling like it's our job... blame Daria! Fred Astaire is a wonderful studio, but Daria is the reason we'll never forget this experience. She's magic in motion.
