PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE INITIAL SALSA BEGINNGERS CLASS AND MY REVIEW MAY CHANGE AS I…read moreCONTINUE ON. The staff was nice and welcoming. There is ample parking in the front and rear of the building, two bathrooms, hand sanitizer, and I believe they sell drinks. When you arrive, you check into the desk, sit and wait. Once the class begins you simply get up and begin. In the first class my wife and I took, the instructor was absent and we had someone fill in. The last class went over so we began 15mins late or so, which they made up having us stay later. We started learning the first basic steps "fighter" position and basic, etc for around 30mins. Then after a short break, they separated all of the men, had us all flip the footing, and we didn't have too much time for muscle memory to readjust. So they taught everyone the female position, and the men had to quickly adjust. Just be ready for it. And after that, they let us rejoin any parters we came with for a few minutes, and then had us rotate for the rest of the class to different partners as they played the music to what we learned. For someone who has never taken a dance class before, I was taken aback by the quick change of footing for the men after learning the other position for 30mins. It may be the way this is taught, but for me, and it looked like others, my muscle memory was fighting with me when I tried to flip it. As for the rotating of partners, my wife and I went in believing we would be learning together. and didn't know we'd be dancing with other partners. For the first few minutes before making us rotate when they allowed us to dance with the partners we came in with, my wife and I were very comfortable, enjoying it, and finding a synch that we so naturally have when learning. When we were made to rotate a few mins later and switch partners, it threw both of us off and when we got home we had to try and remember and go over it together since we didn't really get much of a chance together in the class. I would say that even though they have special "couple" rates, It's not an environment for couples to learn together so much as you will learn at the same time and level. I feel this is important for couples to know since we signed up believing we would be able to dance together as we learn. It seems to be designed for singles and individuals as they will definitely never have to worry about having a dance partner. All in all, it was definitely an immersive class for a first timer, with alot covered. The switching of footing for men threw me off a bit and felt like the first 30mins that were only for the men to get used to the style of movement and not the actual footing. The teachers were nice and energized, the environment was welcoming and everyone there and attending the classes was very nice. The only negative for me is that couples will not get much time learning and dancing together. So if you're looking for that, you might want another type of school or private lessons. I don't know. But my wife and I are continuing and my review may change, though I feel that more of the positive will be on their ability to teach us the technical aspects of Salsa so we can dance together at home. And a last note that the class was so packed with people that it was hard not to bump into others. We were wall to wall packed with very little space between us all.

I decided to call Dance Obsession last month for a complimentary lesson that was advertised on…read moretheir website for new members. I was paired up with John for my first lesson. John was funny, knowledgeable and a great dance teacher! He was motivating and encouraging as I learned the different dances for the first time. He also encouraged me to try out the beginner group class on Tuesdays and dance party every other Friday. Debbie was the instructor at both group events and she was welcoming and a great teacher as well. It was nice to meet the other members of the studio and all learn together! Dance Obsession is a great dance studio in Farmingdale. You get to meet other members, socialize and exercise in a great environment!

There's no judgment, no shaming and no pressure. just growth, confidence, and genuine support. This studio helped me reconnect with myself, build strength (inside and out), and try things I once thought were out of reach. I'm so grateful I got to meet all this amazing woman at DDF.

I can't say enough about the Killing Kompany…read more We found them through attending the shows at Ruth's Chris. We decided to hire them to do our wedding. We started off the day with the power going out. There was uncertainty about what was going on with our wedding, but of course the show must go on. Luckily they had a battery operated sound system that allowed us to be able to speak on the mics during the ceremony. It saved the ceremony, for sure. The power went on right after we kissed (awww). The show was fantastic after that. They kept everyone upbeat. They were funny, and great, and I loved every minute of it. I would hire this company again in a heartbeat. The way they handled disaster was amazing. Jon kept my husband (!!) on the positive side during panic. Everybody raved about how great they were and how much fun they had. I knew that they would be awesome, but their help with this crazy situation helped to save our wedding. Can't wait to attend more shows! Eventually we'll solve it, I promise!

It's a murder mystery at a restaurant or bar. So, I want to say that cute maybe isn't the best word…read moreto use to explain it. Tonights was out in Patchogue, LI at a bar restaurant called OFF KEY TIKKI. The food though they tried, wasn't good. I believe one of the meat dishes might have been bad and I stuck with the turkey. When you go to these events, the food is usually standardly basic and its the show you are really there for. Bar drinks and desserts were not incorporated in the 60. dollar plus added gratuity to the total, paid before entering. This murder mystery was a bit uhh quirky. One note is to, be there on time. I was under the impression that it was food from 7:30 - 8:00 pm and then the performance murder mystery. Just at 8:00 I walked in and already had missed the gun shooting of the lead victim. The young lady playing the cop, went right along in roll and questioned me as to why I was late and where I was a short time ago. The police officer she was portraying had clothing not up to snuff with black sneakers. The overall acting could have used tweaking. But as it is for entertainment, I went along and got into it asking people around me all kinds of questions. There was a scene of someones head but it was not made clear to the audience quite how that fit in. However Jon Avner artistic director and founder of the company, who writes and customizes the stories to fit the request and need of the people who higher his company, actually was pretty funny and acted well in the part with the interaction of the audience participants. Some of them were pretty funny too. Near the end of the performance the audience and suspects are given a paper form to fill out along with a pencil that reads Murder? 1-888 shoot em and asking to write, basically, Who done it and why. Then the chosen best audience actors get a few gifts and the person who comes closest to the correct-who done it gets a shirt and some other goodies, this time including some handcuffs. Again, all in good fun. Ok, so I was the one who logically wrote that it was the Lieutenant. It wasn't. But I choose not to say more to prevent any spoiler alert. As for the place, while the people there were nice and it is a local bar and not one I would likely frequent, 3 stars is about it for their rating.
