The quality of instruction varied depending on the teacher--some were average, while others were excellent. It was really a matter of who you got. One instructor, unfortunately, had a habit of cutting my lesson time short if she was running late due to previous students. On one occasion, she even tried to delay giving me a receipt after I paid in cash, claiming she was short on time. I insisted on getting it immediately, which she reluctantly did. I suspect she felt she could get away with this behavior because I came in solo, without a partner. Thankfully, she no longer works there, so that shouldn't be a concern for future students. My next instructor, however, was fantastic. He often gave me extra time and his teaching was clear and effective. I really felt I got my money's worth with him. Overall, I'd say the studio is a great choice for salsa lessons. Bachata can be hit or miss, depending on which instructors are on staff. Lately, it's also been a bit more difficult to book private lessons. That said, I came in with two left feet and left with the confidence to dance the basics. If you find a good instructor, take full advantage and book as many lessons as you can--they might not be there forever.

Kids enjoy the days dancing, they love coming here…read more The kids LOVE the teachers, and the pricing for the classes are pretty good compared to other places around that charge an unruly price for what you get. The months that gets you is November and March? November to buy the costumes for the recital ($70 Each) So if you have a child doing multiple classes, like mine. It will run you a lot. and March, because you need to buy the tickets to go to the recital in June ($25 each) If you have a big family.....well.....I hope you have some money saved for it. All hobbies are expensive, and this is no different. My advice, is if you have a hectic schedule, DO NOT put your child in Competition Team. It takes a lot of time, sacrifice, money, and love for dancing. All I'm saying is that it is a good school. It's family owned and maintained on a daily basis. But just be ready, if you want your child to just do the basics, without missing out on anything, be willing to spend around $3,000 to $5,000 on all you need.

I have an anxiety disorder which at the time I was there was not being treated but y'all really stabbed me in the back. If your kid has anxiety issues don't come here. I went to dance to escape from my stress and relax but was put in a class of 8 year olds when I was at least 14 because I refused to do competitions of which THE IDEA GAVE ME PANIC ATTACKS. They only saw me as potential asset to the company team but basically gave me a big middle finger to the face because I wouldn't compete. I trusted y'all but you gave up on me because I could bring in the awards or money. This shit put me through so much when I was going though one of the toughest times in my childhood yet I am thankful for this shitty experience for helping me grow into a better person. TLDR: this place is a shit stain in my memory but hey Without this shitty experience i wouldnt have become who I am today. I learned a lot and now I'm a cosplayer who competes in sewing and craftsmanship divisions with costumes and actually makes commission off of custom pieces and patterns.

My daughters take Jazz and tap with Ms. Amanda. I have nothing but great things to say about her teaching style. She is strict enough to keep the kids on task but still makes it fun for them. Thur also have an amazing Hip-Hop teacher in John. I am very tempted to sign up for this as it looks like great exercise and release of energy. As for other reviewers saying they would like a live stream, I disagree. The last thing the teachers need is parents watching their every move. It's family run so you're never talking to someone who isn't directly involved in the day to day operations. As popular as dance is for kids I expected this to be a big hit on the wallet but it is very affordable. I highly recommend this school for all ages and levels.
