I have been attending Arthur Murray Ashburn for about 4 months now. There are 3 main reasons I…read morethink people come in: 1. They want to be able to dance at a wedding or event ($) 2. They want to be able to dance well anywhere ($$) 3. They want to become an expert dancer and compete against others. ($$$) I am in the second category, and I expect to take about a year's worth of dances. This is not inexpensive. If you just want to come in for a few lessons (#1, above) you can get out without a whole lot of money. I do feel like I am getting my money's worth, though. My private lesson is once per week (or more, if my instructor and I want to), but I can still come in every other night of the week for Group Lessons at no additional charge. Group classes really help and I encourage them (so do they). With that out of the way, let me say that the studio is completely above-board and great to deal with. My biggest concern was that I would "lose" a lesson. As in "I can't make it Tuesday night." "Oh, ok, well, that lesson still counts against you." That has never happened, and I am convinced now it won't. I have faith in management and I don't at all feel like they are trying to play a game with me and my money. Quite the contrary, everyone there is great to work with. By the way, I come in alone and dance with my instructor. They are fine with that. If you come in with your SO, you two can dance and the instructor will help out. No matter what, they will work with you. The instructors are terrific, and I really like all of them. They know what they are doing, they are fun, and I would recommend any and all of them. So this is a long review, but let me sum up by saying that I highly recommend this studio. If you stick around after the intro lessons for the Bronze 1 program, it won't be cheap, but you will really come away with some serious dance skills. Stop procrastinating and learn to Salsa! (or some other, lesser dance) :)

This studio is a wonderful little spot tucked into an unsuspecting strip mall. Don't let the small…read moresize fool you, it is packed full of so much fun stuff! They have pole classes and Lyra and fabric - super fun! They may have more, but those are the ones I've seen and considered. Since I'm relatively new to aerial arts, I've only taken a few classes here for Lyra and fabrics, but I have loved the classes. The class size is 6 or fewer, so your instructor has plenty of time to help you if you're lost, confused or, you know, stuck in the air. The instructors are talented individuals who take the time to model the skills and are adept at figuring out how to help you see the skills from different perspectives. They change cues and point out different muscles, movements and positions to cater to the student. There are mirrors in the front of the aerial studio, so, you can see what you're doing. It is helpful, but it can be a little daunting. I've never had a problem finding parking here. The cost is affordable as far as aerials arts classes are priced. There are options for class packages if you are interested in going regularly. Have fun, it's a blast!

I've worked with Daria and Kirill for a long time, and they are absolutely fantastic. Both are…read moresome of the best ballroom dance teachers I've ever worked with: they have an extensive knowledge of dance, and yet keep all lessons fun and engaging. The dance classes I've taken with them (which have involved everything from ballroom fundamentals to rhythm/Latin dancing and even some occasional ballet-type training) have been consistently top notch. Better still, they genuinely care about their students' dancing: you can tell that they spend a lot of time outside of the studio thinking about how to help their students succeed. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone, from people with no dance experience whatsoever to experienced DanceSport competitors. Daria and Kirill's new studio, Loudoun School of the Arts, is just as amazing as they are. It's massive, bright, clean, and really conveniently-located, making it ideal for anyone in Northern Virginia. Loudoun School of the Arts is also more than a dance studio: it hosts a wide variety of art, dance, and exercise classes, meaning that it feels far more active and diverse than other dance studios in the area. I have absolutely no doubt that Loudoun School of the Arts is going to become a powerhouse, both in terms of the dance world as well as in terms of providing fantastic art classes in Northern Virginia.

I cannot say enough good things about Loudoun School of the Arts and about Daria and Kirill. I've…read morehad the privilege of knowing them and their family for almost three years. I have seen firsthand their love, joy, and passion for dance, the arts, and most of all their students. They are not only incredibly talented professional dancers and artists, but they are also such genuine people who pour their hearts into everything they do. I've watched their dream of opening this school grow from just an idea to now seeing it as a beautiful and vibrant place for kids and adults to learn, create, and be inspired. They are a true dynamic duo and it's so obvious how much they love this work. I've seen them return from competitions absolutely glowing, talking about their students' commitment and accomplishments, and it is impossible not to be inspired by the way they celebrate and support every single person they teach. What makes this school so special is that it's not just another business or a cookie cutter franchise. This is their heart and their life's work. They are dedicated to providing structure, excellence, and accessibility to anyone who walks through their doors, whether it's children just starting out, adults returning to a passion, or professionals wanting to grow their skills. The programs they've built offer something for everyone: dance, art, music, and design all in one place, making creativity and community more accessible than ever in Loudoun. I feel so lucky to have witnessed up close how much they care for their own children as well as every student they teach. They are exceptional parents, dancers, teachers, and visionaries who have created something truly unique for our community. Loudoun County is beyond blessed to have this school and to have Daria and Kirill leading it. If you're even considering signing up for a class, do it. You won't find more passionate, talented, or caring people to learn from

The only thing I don't like about Studio PinkFit is the distance, I have to trek out there from Centreville.

DAL is tucked away near the Leesburg airport and away from the road, which I like. The space is pretty large with multiple dancing class areas and seems very professional.
