I found the Ballroom Factory at a time in my life where I needed a change. I was tired of the same…read moredaily routine and wanted to do something different. I never thought I'd be someone brave enough to take a dance class, but this studio changed everything for me. From the first lesson, Karolina made it feel okay to be a total beginner, she created such an encouraging, judgement-free atmosphere that you actually want to try new things and let go of your fears. Karolina and her team break down each dance in a way that not only makes it easy to learn but also fun! I've laughed, learned, and surprised myself with what my body and feet can do. This place gives you the gift of confidence on the dancefloor. If you're nervous or think dance "isn't for you," trust me, give this place a try. It might just become your favorite part of the week like it did for me!

UPDATE: The company responded 3 years later to justify their terrible treatment. But just to…read moreclarify a few points: 1. My only reason for the cancellation was not just because "Life happens". It was a medical issue that arose. My pregnancy was very high risk and was causing MEDICAL issues. Not just, life happens - which I find to be a huge difference. When you hear life happens, it's like I didn't budget my money or we're moving. But the money I needed back was to pay for medical bills. Had I decided to have that party, I could have gotten incredibly sick and/or harmed my child. 2. I cancelled with 4 months notice - less than 60 days after booking and placing the deposit. This was more than ample time for the company to fill that date with another party. This cancellation gave plenty of time and was shortly after the deposit was place because it was only after I placed the deposit that I even found out I was pregnant much less that it was a dangerous pregnancy. 3. My original conversation with one of the workers led me to believe that they were going to work with me BECAUSE it was medical, and then once it was refused AFTER I was lead to believe - I put in the dispute because that's what I was advised to do by the credit card company. Then after I put through the dispute, I was offered your solution of a different date, which I did attempt to use but then your company ignored me for a long time, then when you finally responded it was to tell me that you didn't do it because of the chargeback. You only offered the solution AFTER the chargeback then rescinded BECAUSE of the chargeback. After 3 years, I do not expect you are able to fix this mess you caused - but I thought you should know that this was not just a "life happens" or a last minute cancellation. I found it completely heartless that you would punish someone for being sick despite the massive notice you were given.

We came here on a Saturday night for a birthday party. We got here around 7pm and were able to…read moresecure a table with enough seating for about 8 people. We ordered food and drinks to the table and ended up staying there all night. The vibe in there is definitely a bar vibe. The music is SUPER loud so you can't hear yourself talking, but other than that, I enjoyed our time! We ordered the burger, and the chicken sandwich. Both were delicious. The menu is a bit limited but the food they do have does taste very very good. I would definitely return here. I suggest going earlier if you want to eat/sit down at a table. They had a live band playing with additional seating in the back.

Now I can't say I would've chosen the workshop I did with my wife recently at this AR Workshop location (more on that in a moment), but choices aside, the experience was awesome and I'd definitely return in the future to make something else (which was the plan). You see, I actually bought a workshop for my wife and I to do as a 2-year anniversary gift. Cotton is apparently the gift type for that marriage year and so I got creative and chose the knitted pumpkin class for us both (I probably would've preferred something involving wood for myself, but it totally worked for what I needed it for). I could tell this was definitely more of a feminine-type class as I was the only guy there, but I never really felt out of place as everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Backtracking for a moment, this workshop location in Patchogue is a storefront I never noticed, just a few shops away from James Joyce. The interior has a ton of crafts and items already made all around the store to show you things that you could do at another class. A lot of local vibes too with Long Island as the theme for many crafts which was cool to see. The wall of tools and paint also showed that there are many different projects of varying difficulty. Though for this specific pumpkin class we really only needed two items: a styrofoam pumpkin and some chunky yarn. There were two long tables covered in a variety of colored yarn rolls with enough for my wife and I to vary our pumpkin colors (we were each allowed to make three). Honestly, I wasn't sure how we'd be making these pumpkins, but the woman in charge of the class (along with her daughter) explained that we'd be doing two different types. They each took charge of one of the long tables and were able to help with keeping us on pace with directions, helping to fix errors (it was nice for the woman to say almost everything is fixable), and giving us support. Once done, there was a table of flowers, feathers, ribbon, and small wood pieces to pep up your pumpkins if you choose to do so (I gave mine a little pizzaz, but kept things simple). The whole class ran about 2 hours which was definitely enough time and we could have even stayed a few minutes longer as we were not being rushed out which was nice. Overall, AR Workshop in Patchogue is definitely a fun time. Their options for crafts and projects seem vast and with a friendly and helpful staff, I'd happily return, which I told my wife she could pick out another class as a part of the anniversary gift (though something without cotton next time around!). Definitely check out AR if you're looking for something a little different, but entirely enjoyable.
