After desperately trying to find a nice, affordable ballet dance school for our 6 year old, we…read moreended up here. The school offers many different classes all week long, including the weekends! For parents who have a busy schedule during the week are going to appreciate the fact that your child can go to ballet dance on a weekend. The school has instructors who are professional dancers and not only professional dancers but outstanding teachers. I can only review this school in regards to children classes. The school offers trial lessons and allows the parents to sit in the room for the first time coming to a class. This was especially great because our daughter is a bit shy and sensitive. The teacher Franziska was very nice, welcoming and treated our daughter very respectfully. When she noticed that our daughter was close to tears, the instructor did not make a fuss nor did she draw attention to her but instead guided her calmly on her side. I was amazed how well she interacted with the children. The class consisted of approx. 10 girls (at that time we were there) and takes place once a week for 60 minutes. The payments are paid monthly. The payments are lower than other classes in our neighborhood. The school has several dance studios, with mirrors and equipment used for ballet lessons. The girls wear the same outfits that must be purchased at a local store. All girls at the class were treated respectfully and kind by the teacher and really enjoyed the class. The location is a bit tricky. It is located on Kurfürstendamm in a shopping mall (Karree). On the entrance is a big house number 207/208. The school is on the second floor. Once you enter the building, the access to the elevators/school is on the right side. You will be able to find a business directory. From there, there are elevators that get you to the school. So it is a bit hidden. I recommend this school for little ballerinas and possibly even for adults who are interested in professional dancing.

As a victim of the miserable Hard Candy, I felt like I went to heaven after discovering Kathy's Zumba and DD's Tanz Dich Fit. Another plus- instructors use great music- the best hip hop and Latin grooves with a beat. Please add more fitness classes and more Zumba to your awesome roster of dance classes and may be some adult ballet classes? Facilities are beautiful and the vibe among members friendly. You can tell Detlef cares deeply about his craft and the school. Wish I'd have stepped foot into this place before I fell for the Madonna gym sham.

We were looking to take a few private lessons to enhance our understanding and skill in the difficult areas of frame, posture and movement in standard ballroom dancing. When I first arrived at Maxixe, I was warmly welcomed by Ele, the principal of the dance school. Ele recommended to us Maria Hirnich and Tania Dimitrova, both very highly accomplished competition dancers. I can only refer to their profiles online. Maria and Tania proved to be excellent teachers and the nicest coaches you can imagine. We loved every minute of our lessons with Tania and Maria and can only warmly recommend Maxixe, Maria and Tania for ballroom dancers looking to obtain some excellent tuition in these rather technical areas. Thank you Maxixe, Ele, Tania and Maria. It's been a privilege!

OK, yes, my girlfriend did indeed drag me down there using that old, old trick, the Dance Course as…read moreChristmas Present! Apparently I had at some point murmured something about quite fancying trying it out (she says). So it was initially with much trepidation and brave-face-putting that we first turned up there. And yes, I was won over. Completely. We did the Beginners Course, we returned for the Mid Level Course, and we're planning on doing the Advanced. And it's all been a blast. There are, inevitably, those moments at the beginning of each new course where the girlfriend glowers while you pretend that you do indeed remember perfectly the steps you learned in the last course, and that you're not trying surreptitiously to watch what the others are doing but are in fact just tying your shoelaces. (it doesn't help, by the way, because nearly all the men in the place are doing exactly the same as you, and nearly all the women are doing what your girlfriend is doing). But enough of that. Let me tell you more about the place itself. It is, I think, a quite well-established dance school, and has quite a good reputation. The decor has been done with great taste and subtlety - chic, very smart and yet utterly unpretentious. The teachers are all brilliant (with, I must say, one exception: also coincidentally by far the least camp one. Strange...); but the rest are highly professional, relaxed and very friendly. Through the summer they seem not to have fixed courses (I could be wrong on this) and we went instead (yes, it was my girlfriend's idea) to open Salsa classes: Great! You feel completely sexy! Who cares what you look like! They also hire the place out for weddings and suchlike, and they have Balls and Dances pretty much every week. We attended one and it was a great night out - all very chic and everyone dressed to the hilt, and performances by some of the teachers that looked absolutely wonderful. And really not very expensive. Also what you notice is that it is, I'm told, quite unnusual among most of the dance studios in Berlin in terms of its relaxed informality, and there's a preponderance of homosexual couples. Which I find makes for a very relaxed vibe. Also when the "men" and "women" split into two lines, they say instead the "leaders" and the "followers". And yes, a couple of times we got confused and ended with my girlfriend leading me around the floor. Until we realised. Ah well. Hardly anyone laughed. All in all, I thoroughly recommend it, whether you're a more serious dancer or just want to do a couple of casual classes, or you fancy simply turning up to one of the balls: Go!

I had lessons with Lutz Buchmann, the owner who is one of…read morethe most awesome and accomplished people I ever met in my life and he has a very high integrity and you can see it in staff he hires - very nice people. And he is an excellent teacher. I know that his exam passing rate is 99% and we joked about when he get's 100% of all his students to pass the exam. Usually one person fails on one the last days of December. LOL. I needed the license ASAP and they have theory every day for the exception of Sundays and holidays which is very practical - you can be done with that within two weeks. Also I know that generally the rate getting through the exam the first time is almost 100% which is very high in Berlin. Kids from all over the town are going there, often after having tried the exam and failed for 3 times. I know that Lutz is fluent in English. I don't know if the theory is in only in German, I think it is as I did it in German. The guys who teach there are very funny and know their stuff and it's not boring. If you live in Berlin and are there longer than 6 months and need your license redone (and they often want you to go to the school, not only the exam, depending on where you're from) and you want it fast, go there. I drive stick, but they offer automatic as well which is not common in Germany.
