Having grown up dancing both recreationally and competitively, and working at my own dance studio as both an apprentice and again as an adult, I've seen firsthand everything that goes into putting on a production like this. From backstage organization and music cues to dressing rooms, costumes, concessions and all the behind the scenes details, there's a lot that has to come together. From what I could see, this was a very well run production. The performances were thoughtfully choreographed with a wonderful mix of fun, lighthearted numbers and more serious pieces. The dancers looked confident, the transitions were smooth and the entire show appeared to go off without a hitch. Most importantly, thank you for giving my nephew such a wonderful first year of dance through hip hop and a fabulous first recital. It was a joy to watch him and all of the dancers shine. Congratulations to everyone involved on a fantastic show!

We've been with The Dance Connection for over 7 years and our experience has been only positive…read more When I enrolled my daughter in her first class, I thought it would just be a hobby and wasn't entirely sure she would even enjoy it. Now she's considering pursuing dancing as a professional career and that is a true testament to the teachers at this studio. My daughter has grown from occasionally toddler hobbyist dancer into a maturing professional minded competitive dancer. She danced on stage in Walt Disney World with her dance team - a rare and unique opportunity that we wouldn't have had if it were not for The Dance Connection. During this frightening and uncertain time, The Dance Connection has gone above and beyond to make dancers and parents feel safe. When COVID prompted massive business shutdowns, our studio found a way to ensure our dancers wouldn't have to suffer and they worked together to deliver Zoom (virtual) classes every week. I know that this seemingly small gesture is what kept my daughter from breaking down during a time when it felt - and still feels - like the world will never go back to the way we once knew. The world looks different right now and none of us know what the future will bring. The Dance Connection has not missed a beat and has rolled with all of the changes and laws and requirements to follow required protocols and still make every effort to give our dancers some semblance of normalcy during such a chaotic time. We are a family. We are all in this together.

I'll admit it, I'm a serial quitter when it comes to working out... But I've been going to Rupa's…read moreclasses for six months now, and I'm hooked! Both her Zumba and Bengra classes are high-energy, non-judgmental, and mostly--a lot of fun. I always walk out of them feeling mentally and physically better than I came in! And afterward the foggy windows tell the tale of how much energy the class required... Others have talked about the Sunday Zumba class, but my favorite is the Bhangra class on Wednesday: step by step, Rupa builds up a little routine that you then dance to a few different songs. This gives you a pleasurable feeling of "mastering" something by the end of class (well, after a couple classes!), and a chance to explore these moves in different rhythms. Finally, I like that this style of dancing has a lot of arm moves, so you don't only work out your core and legs, but also your arms and shoulders...

Flash forward and I am totally hooked! Sundays without Zumba just make my whole week feel "off." The instructor, Rupa, is enthusiastic, welcoming, and supportive. Her goal is to get you moving, sweating and having fun. The best part? The music and Rupa herself. The mix of Latin, Bollywood, and Banghra makes the class stand out from most Zumba classes I have been to, with awesome beats and moves that work your whole body head to toe. Rupa is amazing to watch, and when she's really into a new song that she LOVES, her energy is so contagious that you can't help but join in. While it's not the most hard core Zumba I've seen or heard about, I definitely recommend going at least twice. The first class, the moves might seem complicated or awkward, especially if you're used to traditional Latin dances. But that definitely disappears by the 2nd and 3rd class. Consider it a great healthy way to spend an hour on a Sunday afternoon!
