My husband and I are a bit of an anomaly: I have been dancing for a while and he has never danced…read more We have tried a dance lesson here and there at several different studios, but have left absolutely frustrated with each other and the experience (I lack patience when he doesn't instantly catch the beat, he doesn't understand why I can't "just have fun"). No teacher has been able to figure out what's going on and make us BOTH feel comfortable, so we haven't returned, while dancing/not dancing has been a constant source of tension in our home. My husband has kindly agreed to give it another try after we moved to Everett, and I found First Class Ballroom online. We "dropped in" on their couple's ballroom class, and had a wonderful experience! Both Holly and Lars are extremely knowledgeable and can instantly pick up on what needs to be corrected, but they do it in such a fun way. The lesson went at a perfect pace -- not too fast, but not too slow. They managed to keep me from getting bored while allowing enough time and repetition so that by the end of the class my husband was leading his first Waltz! They also stayed after class listening to our "story" and really hearing us out! We found that they could somehow relate to both of us and were really encouraging towards my husband and understanding towards me. They know their stuff and have a really great, warm, and inviting atmosphere at the ballroom. For seasoned dancers: the floor is AMAZING and the studio pretty spacious. Come take advantage of it before everyone else finds out! We are coming back tonight for lesson #2! Can't wait.

Neither of us have ANY dance experience, so we were very pleasantly surprised at how Natasha was able to teach us. Originally, we were just hoping to not step on each other's feet or revert to our middle school dance styles. We got so much more! Natasha was able to use our song of choice and choreograph an entire routine that was so beautiful and felt like us. She took our ideas and suggestions to heart and made it so fun. She also was very flexible and communicative, easy to schedule with. We enjoyed going to classes leading up to the wedding and everyone LOVED our dance on the big day. It definitely stands out as one of our favorite parts of the day. We can't recommend Natasha and her team enough.

Group classes are tons of fun, and are a great intro to ballroom dance. Nathan is really good about demonstrating and explaining the steps to new students, while adding variations that challenge more experienced students. If you're looking to learn to dance, or are looking for a new dance home, Premier Ballroom is the place to be! Oh, and gentlemen, just a note - ladies LOVE a man who can dance! (just sayin'...)

I'm bummed to write this review, but I cannot recommend this studio. My daughter started at Vibe…read morewhen she was 3 and was with them for about 18 months. Her last recital was in June 2022, right before the closure for their move. I was expecting dance to be expensive, but there are so many random fees- recital fee, recital venue fee, costume fee, ticket fee, etc. Communication was extremely difficult, the website hasn't been updated in months, we weren't even told where the new studio is... if there is a new studio. Once we moved to our new studio, we also realized how much she had actually been lacking at Vibe. She didn't know basic terms or movements. We feel like we wasted almost 2 years for a studio to teach our daughter nothing.

I had no background in dance and didn't research any of the options. We completely got lucky that the studio closest to our home was this local gem. Within the first year or two it became more obvious that my daughter was gaining a lot of skills and developing into a successful dancer. Over the last 13 years my daughter has added hours and hours of weekly dance to her schedule, spending most of her time at her second home with her dance family. It has been healthy, supportive, challenging and transformative. My daughter has seriously focused on dance, benefiting from classes in every style (ballet, pointe, jazz, tap, musical theater, hip hop, contemporary) and had great success on their competitive dance team, earning scholarships and invitations to many programs. This even included winning a national competition in 2019. Since the pandemic the faculty has gone above and beyond to keep students safe, connected and progressing, with all of the changing requirements. All of the staff have been wonderful mentors for my children. But the owners Shelley and Kary are incredibly committed, talented artists who take pride in every detail of their studio, classes, productions and responsibilities to care and teach our children. The healthy philosophy of Allegro is, more than ever, something that all children can benefit from; novice, experienced, inexperienced, experienced, all genders and backgrounds. The teachers are capable, prices are affordable and the outcomes are fantastic.
