I've been at MDN DANCE STUDIO, for about 10 weeks now, and I gotta tell you that it has been a total great experience! It has built up my confidence in a whole new level, and now I hit the "Salsa" dance floor with total confidence... now I can say I know how to dance salsa, but Marcus, and his team are so good at what they do, that I don't want to stop going to classes, so I go to class three times a week without missing a beat. I can see why there has been people that have stayed with Marcus, and his team for years. I'm just damn proud that I'm part of the Salsa studio... New Jersey's #1 Salsa Studio!

This review is overdue; but better late then never. My son had booked this place so him and his…read morebride could be more eloquent in dancing at their wedding. I wanted to do a "special" dance with my son. The dance would start off as a regular slow mother-son wedding dance and then we would have surprised the guests with kicking the dance into something more lighthearted - a choreographed dance filled with a compilation of old "skool" songs and a variety of 80's dances such as the Snake and the Wop. Jose was awesome. He fabulously choreographed the dance for my son and I, then ever-so-patiently taught it to us during our one-on-two lessons. In the end, I could sense my son was a bit overwhelmed with trying to learn the dances while simultaneously planning his wedding with his bride-to-be so I scrapped the dance, telling my son we would do a regular mother-son dance together. It ended up being amazing since he incorporated the 2-step, and spins Jose had previously taught him for his wedding dance into our Mother-son dance. I've already inquired about the other classes that are taught here. They teach all different kinds on different days. I definitely recommend and I'll definitely be back to learn more.

We love DanceWorks! I can't say enough great things about Kathy and her team…read more When we moved to the area last year, I started looking online for places for my 5 year old to take ballet. There were a few places with great reviews but most of the moms that I knew sent their kids to DanceWorks for ballet / tap / etc. I was surprised by the lack of reviews but decided to try it out and WE LOVE IT! My daughter is always energized and happy leaving class and we are looking forward to their annual show in June where all classes get to showcase what they've learned. In addition, we just had my daughter's 6th birthday party here and I received multiple follow ups from parents telling me that their kids had so much fun at the dance party. I decided to add a review to help any parents out there who may not be aware of DanceWorks and may not hear about it through word of mouth. It's a wonderful place! Tip: Parking and the entrance is actually in the back.

Extremely Unprofessional and Accusatory Behavior by the Owner at Danceworks Studios in Montclair,…read moreNJ. I was invited as an actor by the director to shoot a film at Danceworks Studios. I had no prior relationship with the studio or its owner, Kathy. What should have been a straightforward professional experience turned into one of the most disrespectful and upsetting incidents I've encountered. During the shoot, I needed a phone charger. A crew member told me there was one behind the front desk, so I went to look. I checked the desk surface (which had a disorganized tangle of cords), opened the drawers when I didn't see anything, and eventually found a charger plugged in on the floor across from the desk. I took it and left. My face was fully visible the entire time, and I took nothing that wasn't offered. Kathy saw this on the security camera and immediately accused me of trying to rob the studio. She claimed my normal, stylish outfit looked "sketchy" and that my search for the charger appeared suspicious. She even referenced me walking in and out earlier, which happened because I have ADD and had briefly forgotten the car keys to her own sister-in-law's vehicle (the same car that had been left for me to use and was parked right outside). We had been filming openly in that lobby for hours prior, right in front of the cameras, alongside her sister-in-law and niece. There was zero context for any accusation. The situation was made worse by the irony: I was later told Kathy is "very OCD" and that's why she reacted so strongly to me opening the drawers. Yet other people on set were casually going through the same drawers for items like reading glasses with no issue, and the desk itself was one of the most disorganized messes I've seen. I was deeply offended by how I was spoken to and accused, especially as a guest invited to the space. Kathy had every opportunity to recognize me through family connections (I've appeared in years of photos with her niece on her sister-in-law's social media), yet she chose to treat me like a criminal instead. A few days later, I even called the studio, left my phone number, and asked if Kathy would offer an apology for the way I was treated. I received no response and no callback whatsoever. That complete lack of accountability speaks volumes. No one should have to deal with baseless accusations and rude treatment like this, particularly when they're there professionally and openly. I will not be returning to Danceworks Studios and strongly recommend others avoid it as well. One bad experience with the owner is more than enough.

Briana was so kind and wonderful on the phone. I called on a Sunday and she pulled the potential sizes ahead of time. Originally, I was not going to bring my son.

Briana said no worries, she would stay in order for me to try the shoes on. WOW! By the time we found parking it was 12:05pm we scored a great spot a block away) and we called Briana to advise we were walking up now. She was so sweet; so personable and assured us that she would stay open for us to arrive. Turns out my son was a larger and wider size and Briana had just the size and width that we needed!

She takes the Pre-K 4 class which consists of ballet and tap....to be exact....ballet starts promptly at 1115am and 1150am they do tap and ends at 12pm. I kinda wish it was a bit longer and use a full hour but I guess being a 4 yr old maybe 45 min is enough. My daughter has fun with it so that's all that matters. The parking is off street....so bring 50 cents for the meters. I don't have much of a problem looking for parking.....so no complaints there. What's nice is if we miss a class then we can make it up on Fridays....we call and ask to make sure first if they can accommodate her. It's at 545p-630p so perfect after work for me. Will who works at the front desk is very friendly. The tuition can be placed on your credit card and can be automated every month. Kim the owner is very nice and answers all questions. They also offer parents night out from 5p-9p on weekends...this happens once in awhile....looks like it's monthly so far..it's $25 per child. Also, we can't watch the kids the entire time HOWEVER.....there's a curtain and it's hard to see BUT they do have a TV and alternate the rooms on saturdays....so every other sat I can watch my daughter in her class.....They really need to get another TV or maybe split the screens to watch both classes.
