They bring in as much guest dancers as they can to expose the kids to different styles of teaching and dance! I would definitely recommend this studio!

This review is an average of my first visit 2 years ago + the most recent which was last week…read more In December 2010 - I came here with a Groupon deal and had a 40min private lesson with... I forgot his name. But truly, this experience was a 0-star. I feel terrible saying this, but having tried a few different dance studios in NY/NJ, this lesson was in my bottom two for sure. Immediately upon walking in, the studio was completely empty and dark. It didn't have that warm vibrant feeling most studios have. The staff was overly casual, which isn't what I expect at a highly-revered dance studio such as Fred Astaire - I don't care that it's in a NJ suburb. The level of professionalism should be the same all across the board whether in NYC or not. The staff looked very young and inexperienced. Also, the woman who booked my appointment - Renata - was a little pushy over the phone. Back to my instructor. He was awkward socially, trying way too hard. It felt like he was auditioning for a role. His skill level wasn't great at all. For a student, I would say maybe advanced level. For an instructor, intermediate. An instructor should not be awkward or lack any skill level! They should be super confident in attitude, presentation, and in movement - but I felt like he just didn't hit the mark. Also, after each song/dance ended, he would hold my hand and escort me all the way to the stereo system in the corner. It was SO awkward! Last week (June 2012) - I came here with a LivingSocial deal and had my first of two 40min private lessons. This time I brought my boyfriend, and immediately after walking in - I knew it was under different management. It was lively, bright, and there were students walking in and out, and there was another lesson going on at the same time as ours. There were 3 instructors there, all of whom looked like professionals, and we actually found out that two of them really are national champions - one of whom was our instructor Larissa. They also confirmed that it is under new management; the Ridgewood location took this location over. Back to our instructor. Larissa is friendly, patient, and offers good critiques, but you can tell she doesn't have years and years of experience. After our lesson, her partner John Mohammad showed us a YouTube video of them performing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mqT3w8x7rM). From the video, you could tell that he is at a higher level than she is in dancing. That kind of bummed me out because that's the level of dancing I'd prefer my instructor to have. This recent experience is my 3-star rating. It was a-okay for now. I'll have to see how our next lesson is with Larissa.

Instead, I was met with a space where personalized instruction meets a vibrant community, igniting the passion of aspiring dancers and casual enthusiasts alike. What I like most about the studio is its smaller class sizes. It's ensures focused attention, allowing instructors to tailor guidance to individual goals and offer understanding encouragement that nurtures every dancer's potential. For those who thrive in intimate settings, this is the perfect haven. Forget the impersonal studio experience. Dance with Me Glen Rock fosters a warm, welcoming atmosphere where competition isn't just about winning, but about collective growth and shared passion.

They're so professional and teach very nice that you feel that you can learn. I love how they combine the private, groups and parties I really get my moneys worth and learn a lot that way.

Not like the other places where I felt completely intimidated and not welcome. I just felt that they wanted to sign me up for competitions and take my money. So if you are looking for a place to learn, have fun and get a great experience like i do, don't hesitate and come to Arthur Murray.

Going to Fred Astaire Dance Studios- Oradell was one of the best decisions of my life. Nikki, Jaime, and Julia are incredible teachers, and truly do become family. Yasmine always welcomes you with such enthusiasm where its almost infectious, and you are instantly excited to be there. As someone who was nervous and apprehensive about taking dance lessons, their enthusiasm, care, and warm welcome has turned this into my weekly (sometimes even daily) routine! Not only has it been great for my physical health, but seeing them every week has been even better for my mental health. Even when you might be having a tough day, the minute you walk in those doors it is impossible not to feel better, and your mood is completely changed once you leave. The other students are also wonderful, supportive, and welcoming, and the relationships you create with them are just as strong as the bonds you create with the professional staff. If you're looking for a place to have fun, stay in shape, and challenge yourself by stepping out of your comfort zone; Fred Astaire Dance Studios-Oradell should be at the top of that list!
