It pains me to give this three-star review, but it must be done…read more This is such a fun little place to learn to dance. Wall-to-wall dance floor, a mirrored wall, and a good sound system to keep the beat. Our dance teacher was very nice, and taught us to do a few basic dance steps during our time with her. However... and I mean however... the pricing structure. I purchased an affordable dance class package for my girlfriend's birthday. We went together to the five classes, and we had a great time. However, when it came time for more classes, my girlfriend showed a PRE-PURCHASED dance package which she got online. They denied our coupon. Because the package I bought was some sort of "introductory deal," they said we wouldn't be able to receive any more discounts. There was no evidence of this policy printed ANYWHERE, it just suddenly decided to make itself known. For lack of a better term: bull$#!%. Apparently there's a point when we start saving too much money on your dance classes? That's not a business plan, that's a direct route to alienating customers. It's 50 bucks a class unless you get the packages. Be PREPARED for that.

My daughter danced at Newington Dance Center for two years. Jane is an excellent ballet teacher and…read moremy daughter improved in her dancing while with Jane. Unfortunately, Jane's emotional abuse and torment caused us to have no other choice but to leave the studio. Jane is a vicious and petty woman that attacks children's emotional well being during every class. Her verbal abuse and passive aggressive behaviors were so hurtful to my daughter. Jane allowed other students to use foul language towards the younger students and meltdowns were a frequent occurrence from students during class. Janes interactions with me were totally inappropriate and unexeceptable but I tolerated it to give my daughter the opportunity for a first rate dance education. I have debated for months about writing a review because we are so happy to be gone from the studio but I want others to know what an ugly person Jane is and protect other young innocent girls from becoming victims of the owner of Newington Dance Center.

This past weekend I was invited to their annual recital and it was amazing to see so much talent from the 2 year olds to the graduating seniors! RNS offers a variety of dance classes to fit any dancer. They even offer adult classes! If you're looking to take your training to the next level, I'd recommend joining RNS! The kids can thrive because the teachers are so dedicated and they love what they do. I am so happy to be part of the RNS family!

Update: Connie has added weights and made the Barre classes a complete workout. Love this place!…read more I've been taking Barre classes with Connie here off and on for a couple of months now. I love the studio; it is bright and spacious. Not underground or in a basement somewhere like some studios are.There is a regular group that comes to these classes and even though they all know each other, they are warm and inclusive of new people. The only thing holding me back from giving RNS Barre class five stars is that weights aren't used and I don't feel I get much of an upper arm workout. The energy is fabulous and it is definitely a great workout. Update: weights were used in class today. First time I've seen this. I'm waiting to change my rating until I see

They focus on technique as well as performance, doing so in a fun, positive way that allows the kids to grow and improve at their own pace. Miss Shari is super organized and keeps dancers and parents well informed so that things flow smoothly. But what we love most of all is the culture at GDC. The teachers genuinely care about the kids as whole people. They are kind, caring, and inclusive with a desire for every kid to shine, work hard, and be their best. Good sportsmanship and positivity are modeled from the top and expected from all. We could not ask for a better dance family. I highly recommend GDC!
