My husband and I had 0 experience (not good dancers!), but George helped us to make a nice spectacle out of our first dance. We ended up stunning our wedding guests with our fancy moves. I can't wait to get our wedding video back so I can play it back. Also, I wasn't expecting the dance lessons to be fun, but it really was, and we shared so many laughs. We highly recommend George to every one. Such a kind, patient, and talented guy to learn from!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!! This place tried to scam me…read moreinto paying my daughter's tuition of $350 twice. They were supposed to refund me for the last class and instead they come back asking for more money. They use the most ancient payment site out there and instead of doing the research on their end first DCU confidently emailed me saying that I had not paid the tuition. Somehow their inefficiency became my problem and I was required to provide evidence of payment along with a nonchalant statement in the email saying "If I did not respond on time then they could charge me $350" AGAIN. We decided to opt out of their recital and you still get charged for all the costume. Yet another way of getting money out of people. And the way they behaved is almost like looking down for not being part of the dance recital. I wonder what they made my daughter do in class if they were choreographing the dance with rest of the class. My daughter has delayed speech and the dance teacher made such a rude comment about a preschooler on the very last day of her class saying "oh your daughter does not follow directions while dancing". Since when did 4 year old start performing at Olympian level with a speech delay? Please do not believe this 5 star rating on YELP. Only 5 reviews and all 5 stars tells that they have removed other negative reviews and manipulated the reviews.

The…read moreowners (Stephanie and Stacey) are amazing, their desire to teach the new generation of dancers is unlike anything I've ever seen. The studio is decorated beautifully with plenty of room for tons of student and a window for the mothers and fathers to watch :) parking is not a problem as there is a parking lot right across the street from the studio. Located on Main Street in Andover, it's a very easy and convenient drive. If you want an enjoyable experience for both you and your dancer, then this is the place to go. Highly highly recommended.

I went on what must have been an off-season day (Thursday night) because based on the one other…read morereview, I expected a packed class. Only me and one other student showed up, and the place smelled like a sweat-fest (those ballerinas before us must have been workin' it). Teacher was casual, a very talented choreographer, and hungry because she kept going to the side of the studio to eat her dinner in between instructions. I didn't sweat (again, I think my body was tricked by the studio's aroma into thinking it wasn't necessary) but I did feel challenged by the routine. Only about 1/3 of the class time was dedicated to dancing; the rest was warm up moves, funkywalking across the floor, stretching, and ab exercises. The music choices were contemporary which was a plus. I would have liked to learn a longer routine than three counts of 8, but its all good.

I started taking lessons from Candy back in January. I wanted to try something new, so I decided…read moreto take some Latin dance classes and see how I liked it. And I have loved it since then! Candy and her entire staff are friendly and welcoming. They all love what they are doing, and share their passion for dance with their students. They have found that balance between learning how to dance and making the entire experience fun and enjoyable. As an instructor, Candy is awesome. She has introduced me to several different styles of dance, and is always encouraging me to try different techniques and styles, from cha cha to salsa to jive. I was a little hesitant at first about taking lessons, but Candy's style of teaching makes every lesson entertaining! In addition to her private lessons, I have also attended her cardio Latin fusion class. It is a great class, with options for more or less intense exercises. I always leave class tired, but I wfeel invigorated for the rest of the week! Whether you are just a beginning dancer like me or an experienced dancer looking to build yourself, Candy's is a great choice!

Our experience with Suzanne's Dance Connection has been nothing short of extraordinary. My daughter…read morehas been part of this studio for the past 14 years, and from the very beginning it has felt like so much more than just a dance studio, it truly feels like family. The teachers are supportive, caring, kind, and fun, and they genuinely invest in each child as both a dancer and a person. Beyond creating beautiful, high-quality routines, they have helped shape my daughter into a mature, hardworking young woman with strong values and a strong work ethic. Through Suzanne's, my daughter has had once-in-a-lifetime opportunities--performing at Disney and Universal Studios, training with the Rockettes, and attending a master class at the Broadway Dance Center in NYC. These experiences have built her confidence, professionalism, and love for dance in ways I could never have imagined. As she's grown older, the studio has taught her invaluable life skills, time management, leadership, teamwork, accountability, and perseverance--skills that will stay with her far beyond dance. Suzanne's Dance Connection is truly a second home, and we are forever grateful for the love, mentorship, and incredible memories they have given our family. I could not recommend this studio more highly.

However, it appears that the studio is still run and owned by Robin. I have the most amazing memories from my time at WCDA, and for that I'm extremely grateful. I remember that the instructors were so kind, the studio itself was beautiful and in a great location, and the recitals were organized and well-produced. I praise WCDA for instilling a sense of positive self-esteem in their students and providing such a sacred space for creative self-expression. I'll never forget the pure joy and excitement I felt on the day prior to our recitals that they hung up the photos of our dance recital costumes we'd be wearing. So many sequins!
