This "studio" is a bit shabby.

After the first six weeks of classes they started practicing the routine and then 75% of the time most of the girls stood around watching other girls practice their parts of the routine for the recital. My daughter, as well as other girls there I know, got very bored and did not even want to go to class. She had the size of this class way to big! I was told there would not be that many in the class. And let me tell you about the obscenely long FOUR hour recital she scheduled. What other dance studio does that??? That was brutal on many levels for both students and the family members there watching. Several people left after intermision, which at a normal studio would have actually been the time a recital would end. Not to mention the unorganization of it. She also overbooked seating for that auditorium. So Bridget threw some folding chairs in the aisle, in front of a safety bar,so not only were we in awful folding chairs but also could not see without looking under or over the bar. We paid $120 for folding chair seats in the isle with an obstructed view. Had to put your head under or stand up to see kids on stage. Overall I have to say I was very dissapointed with Bridget's on several levels. I would NEVER recommend anyone go to that dance studio. I will be trying Amy's Dance in Braintree.

After approximately 5-6 lessons we had a beautifully choreographed routine to surprise our guests during the first dance. People were absolutely amazed at our Argentinian Tango. More than one person said they felt like they were watching something from Dancing With The Stars! Bridget is amazing! My fiancé had no previous dance experience and by the end of the private lessons and a few good practice sessions on our own, he was rocking the tango, box step, and had virtually perfect form! Bridget gives great feedback, the lessons are affordable and she is a blast to work with. We would highly recommend. We might even try to keep up with some group lessons! Without the pressure from a big audience with all eyes on you, the ballroom dancing is a riot. On more than one occasion we were stopped by passersby during our practice sessions to inquire about our beautiful dancing! Couldn't be happier. Our first dance was a highlight of our wedding! THANK YOU BRIDGET!

Honestly, I wish I could give 0 stars. Sent my daughter here for 1 year, and regret paying as much…read moreinto this school as we did. The recital was atrocious. Even the oldest students performing (high school aged) had to start dances over as they had no clue what they were supposed to be doing. The choreography mainly consisted of off beat skipping across the stage, and nothing else. The cost is ridiculous for the lack of quality, I paid twice what our old school charged for less than half the quality. Neither of my daughter's instructors were present for the dress rehearsal or recital. Although considering the time the teachers spent playing on their cell phones during class, this should come as no surprise. But the end of the line, was the lack of supervision backstage. There were countless ADULTS (both men and women) in and out of the dressing room throughout the performance, and none of the teachers even seemed to notice. My daughter was not onstage for the finale of the show, causing me to panic and hurry to the dressing room, where I found here sobbing because one of the other students told her she wasn't allowed to participate in the finale. Not only did none of the teachers or backstage chaperones step in to correct the other child, they didn't even notice that my daughter was missing from the stage! I promptly found the owner to discuss, and she wasn't even aware of the situation. As a mother, my utmost concern is my daughter's safety and well being, and I feel that this school doesn't consider the safety of their students at all. I wouldn't recommend this school to someone I disliked, let alone anyone i knew and cared for. Save your money and go to any other school, I guarantee they'll keep better track of your child than Expressions.

Hello, my fellow Yelpers!…read more Today, I'm going to review the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Dedham, MA. The location: It's in the back of a strip mall right off of Route 1, so it takes a bit to find, so thank goodness for GPS! It appears to be new as they have what looks like a temporary banner in place of what should be a sign. The prospect: Upon entering, we were greeted by Scott, the owner...and he got us started with our first dance lesson...(we had called ahead and made an appointment). He was an absolute pleasure to work with and really takes his time to get to know you and what you're looking to get out of taking dance lessons in the first place. He is very patient and for an absolute beginner like myself, it was very much welcome. The classes: Each class or lesson is 45 minutes long...and you learn quite a bit in that time. They offer many different classes, but most notably are the group classes for beginners of which there are 3 per week. There are more advanced classes and you can schedule private lessons as well. In fact, they sell packages of private lessons, consisting of either 5 or 8 lessons, I believe...but the good news is that for the money you pay, you can attend as many other group classes as you'd like. Scott is a wonderful teacher, but there are two others there as well, and while everyone has their own style of teaching, all are excellent and really take their time teaching you the concepts of dance. The pricing: My wife and I got the 5 private lesson package, and at $562, it was a little pricey...but then I considered the other lessons that I could take for free and you can schedule your private lessons every few weeks to stretch your dollars further. For us, it is about $50 a week, and that is for a full 90-120 minutes, 2-3 times a week. A small investment to learn a skill and spend some time together doing something that we can both enjoy. All in all, I would say that it is a great time and Scott really goes the extra mile to make you feel like one of his "family"...so if you want to learn dance, go to Arthur Murray in Dedham, you'll be glad you did!

The owner (her name was Lindsey I believe) came across as very well mannered and likeable upon our first few interactions, but unfortunately that didn't last. She would have irrational mood swings and handle issues with a severe negative attitude around the children. When I confronted her about this, however, she became defensive and gave me major attitude. Additionally, it seemed like my daughter was never learning anything new. I would be paying this women a fortune to teach my daughter the same thing she taught her the week before. I am very displeased with my overall experience with management and staffing. As for the studio itself, the waiting room reeked of body odor every time I was there. It was so unbearable that I would just wait outside for my daughter to finish as I peered through the glass windows. Not to mention the studio was dirty and not well organized. Please please please save your time and money for some other dance studio better equipped to suit your child's passion for dance

The morning classes are more open 8-10 people, and the night time and Saturday classes are packed. The night classes are fun because it's dark and they have black lights on. It's a fun atmosphere.
