I started six years ago, taking one lesson a week. I thought I wanted to learn some dance steps…read more Over time, I realized that my brain was working hard; my body was moving again in ways it was not before; then my mind-body connection kicked in, and the bio-chemical reaction to moving my body to music, self-expression, higher-level technique and the sense of accomplishment took me to more dance lessons. I now walk in the Studio four days a week, with a goal of becoming the best dancer my body can become. It's more than a hobby; it's joy, wrapped up in physical, cognitive, and expressive effort. Alex is not only a pro ballroom dancer, but also a pro teacher and a first-class human. If you ask me who I am, I tell you: "I'm a dancer." Terry Fairchid

Many of the favorite dancers are teen competitive ones & those dancers are highlighted by this studio repeatedly on social media & in photos, for example. Also, the number of students of color are minimal. However, we gave this studio 4 stars as a result of customer service, dance skills, numerous types of dance lessons & organization.

Our dance was simple, but included several distinct parts and included plenty of twirls. The only reason I gave this place four stars was that we had four teachers between our six lessons, ending with the owner of the studio. They left notes for each other, but the handoff each time was not ideal. We ended up coming in for several additional practice sessions during the week before the wedding. The ballroom is very flexible with scheduling and rescheduling (given 24 hours notice). Between our formal lessons and our two practice sessions we did the dance perfectly! It was a huge surprise to our wedding guests. I received compliments all night on how pretty my dress was when twirling during the first dance. A few tips to wedding dance people: -Say yes to the wine they offer -Bring a few songs to choose from for the first dance -Stay hydrated and don't come hungry! -If possible, wear the shoes you'll wear on the wedding day to regular practice -Find out the dimensions of the dance floor of your reception location so you can practice within those confines from the start -Stay 5-10 minutes after the lesson to go over the parts you are unsure of. If you reinforce the lesson right away it's so much easier to practice at home -Practice at home!! We varied from no practices at home to three between lessons. We (and the teachers) could always tell a difference. Even if it's just 10 minutes a night

When you join, they will give you 2 CDs that has around 24 songs for the car. You can also down load the songs from their website or smartphone app. I find this very convenient and my little girl loves to hear her music wherever. The music selection is so unique and beautiful. The class is very interactive including: musical instrument, scarves, egg shakers, dancing, role playing and more. They have many locations. Classes full up fast. Parking is never an issue. Highly recommended.

I have been going here for almost 10 months now and it is probably one of the best decisions I've…read moremade. All the coaches are super friendly, the environment is very supportive and kind. I'm excited everytime I go to class. When I was choosing a gym I wanted a place that wasn't super intimidating, was inclusive, fun, would allow me to make friends and wasn't all men. And this place did all that and more. I have found a community of like-minded people that all want to learn and have fun. Plus they host a bunch of fun events outside of class to get to know each other better. What I love the most about this gym is they teach you how to defend yourself in real-world situations so that you feel more empowered and safe in your own body. And they do it in a safe way, too. They really work with you to make sure you're not only doing the moves right, but that you understand why you're doing what you're doing. This gym is for EVERYONE. Any age, gender and body type. I guarantee you will have fun and benefit from these classes. Plus, the first class is free! (And no, they are not paying me to say this, I'm just a big fan)

I recently found out my friend's daughter is a student there now. She and her little friend were wide-eyed when I told them that Miss Liz had been my teacher. I told their parents that the training and experience I received there has served me well every since, and it is very true. Far beyond dance and fitness, it cultivated posture, poise, confidence and yes, discipline, precision, attention to detail. I was never more than average as a ballet dancer, but the body awareness I learned there thanks to the Cecchetti method has helped me in every single physical pursuit I've made since, be it yoga, flying trapeze or skydiving--or just sitting properly at my desk or walking into a room with my head up. "Ask and your body will respond," instructor Paula said once in class. I have never forgotten this. At the time it was in reference to executing a triple pirouette--which seemed so daunting at the time--but it is amazing what your body can do if you simply ask it, and stop getting in your own way. DanceStation pushed me and it was a good thing. I appreciate the top-notch instruction I received there, and my two sisters do, too. Keep on doing what you do, DanceStation!
