This place is absolutely wonderful!!…read more From the day we walked in it felt like we became a part of the "dance family!" So many of these places now just heard the kids through like cattle. NOT this place! After the first class I think everyone that worked there already knew my daughters name. We started with my almost four year old. She LOVED it from day one! The teachers are absolutely incredible! After my two year old watched our oldest enough times, she started wanting to take dance class. She in VERY introverted so we thought there was no way she would do it. They held an open house one Saturday, and we took our two year old. Literally one of the instructors scooped up our two year olds hand with a huge smile on her face, and started teaching her. She LOVED IT. We signed her up but we still weren't sure if she would like it. Well she didn't like it, she LOVED it! So now our almost four year old and two year old both go here. Everyday they wake up asking if they get to go to dance class today! I've even had text conversation with the OWNER helping me sign up or answer questions. That's unheard of these days. There are MANY studios in the Keller/Southlake area, but I can promise you, this is the best one!!!

I called a few days before to do a free trial, we set the date and everything was planned. I…read morearrived for the trial and as i walked in the heavy set older woman behind the counter stared at me as I approached, angry face . I felt uncomfortable and out of place with how she was looking at me. I told her I was here for my two-year-old trial and she said she doesn't have my name written down and I just now wanting to do it? I told her no that I've been texting with someone, Erin, and set it up with her. She got my name and pointed me to the door and that was it. Very rude and unpleasant, made me very uncomfortable. Then they have a tiny little window you can look through to watch your child, but all the moms are surrounding it. Only one mom was nice to me and knew that I was trying to see if my little girl was even interested so I could peek through the window every now and then. Just then another lady came and stood right in front of me and I couldn't see anything just very inconsiderate. Not sure why this place has a five star review!

Margo Dean was the founder of what would eventually become Texas Ballet Theater. She's been a…read moremainstay of the community for a good 50+ years, and it shows. The studio itself is homey and well-loved: no, it's not a brand new giant warehouse with luxurious sprung floors. But those scratched wooden floors and smoothly-worn-down barres carry so much history and love and care. I took adult ballet classes here for a year in roughly 2022-2023. All of the instructors were amazing, and treated adult students exactly like they would have their teen students - we weren't babied or not taken seriously. Margo herself would sometimes come to sit and watch our classes; she is an absolutely lovely woman and still has all the grace and elegance of her younger years. Would highly recommend MDSB for adult ballet classes, which occur on Tues/Thurs evenings. I would supplement my classes here with classes at Texas Ballet Theater on the other days and felt like I got a very robust ballet education at both schools!

Amy is a great teacher who creates a friendly atmosphere. The classes break down ballet into simple steps, so I've been able to dive into dance without intimidation.

I'd highly recommend Ballet Center of Fort Worth to anyone looking to dip their toe into ballet classes for the first time!

The owner said something along the lines of I eat too much fast food, etc. LET ME REMIND YOU I WAS A CHILD. This happened to a couple of friends that also danced here. They will body shame your child if they aren't a stick bug. Don't let your child come here. This caused me to have a lot of body image issues, and I'm still struggling with them today.

The folks at Arthur Murray Fort Worth were so friendly and welcoming that I had to try out their lessons. I was hooked by the time the first lesson was over. Active duty couldn't keep me away either. I'd drive down from Oklahoma as often as I could and get 2-3 lessons back to back on a Saturday. In 2013 I was finally able to train specifically for a Pro/Am competition. That process honed my performance in ways I never knew were possible. Competition isn't everything; my favorite part is still spending an afternoon dancing because it's fun. The people at the Fort Worth school, staff and students alike, are just the friendliest group you could meet. Everyone there shares a passion and are so supportive of the learning process. Every instructor brings a different eye to teaching which polishes your technique and motivates you to succeed. It's nothing like a Ty Kwon Do class where everyone is just rushing for the black belt. The staff at Arthur Murray Fort Worth takes special pride in making sure students learn skills needed to advance. They have made learning to dance one of the best and most enjoyable decisions of my entire life.

Pros: AM has an awesome staff of instructors! They have some of the brightest, funnest, and skilled Dancers I have seen yet. Their professionalism and ability to teach you to dance is absolutely solid! Cons: Price and Exclusivity. Price - AM is around 65% higher than independent studios in the area. They may tell you to weigh the "all you can take" group lessons, but even with that in mind the total cost is high since many studios do charge for groups but the price of group lessons is very low. Also, the additional "shows" are very costly not only to get into, buy into "heats' and the additional lessons to consider. They will push going to shows very hard. Exclusivity - the management of AM will aggressively call you out if you talk about outside dance events not associated with AM. In my case I was posting about dance events around town and got a stern reprimand from the owner that he could not allow me to do this. Needless to say that as a consumer I am now exercising my rights to do business elsewhere. Bottom line - if you want to learn to dance well they can for sure teach you to do so - it will just be very costly. If you want to get into the entire spectrum of dancing at multiple venues around town then it is best to look at other options!

Ms. Marina (and all the teachers) are incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. My daughter loves her classes so much that she's now enrolled every day & looks forward to every class. The friendships she has built here are such a gift too. I especially love that the students get to be a part of full-length ballet productions (instead of just a 3-minute recital song), and that they get plenty of invaluable stage experience. What makes this school truly unique is their commitment to the Vaganova method (one of the most rigorous & elite). It results in stunning dancers who are an absolute joy to watch on stage. We are so grateful to have found this school, and to Ms. Marina for her care and dedication to all of her students. Highly recommend!!

What started as a casual weekly dancing lesson, have turned into something we both truly enjoy and became a very important part of our lives.

This is all thanks to the outstanding professional instructors at Fred Astaire dance studios. They know firsthand on how to work with any couples, any age, and both male and female singles in any skill levels. They will help you grow and improve in dancing at just the right pace.

After doing lots of searching and looking online before the move I came across this studio I had reached out even before we moved to ask if it was to late to get my daughter in. I was ALWAYS responded to quickly by the office staff especially miss Angie! The first day we went in to try a class I instantly felt welcomed and like family already. This studio was a lot smaller than our previous one so I was a bit nervous at first but we felt an instant connection and looked no further. We love the values of this studio and how much they lean into faith in all they do. We had our first recital with them in June and enjoyed it, all the staff works really hard and I have found that the "smaller" studio to us made for a better home studio for us where people really get to know you and your child's name.
