As an awkward beginner, I can't praise Jen's patience and enthusiasm enough as we repeat again and again until I learn the steps. My first lessons include rumba, swing and hustle with a taste of tango and bachata, which Jen has made into enjoyable fun for me as I learn. A benefit I hadn't realized is that Jen and Joe host at area dances, so I can gain more experience on the dance floors with fun people. And, I want to add how nice all those dancers are, making me feel welcome even as a beginner. I'm glad I found Jen and Joe and started, and I recommend them to everyone who wants to learn.

Let me start by saying I am/was new to "all things" guitar related. I didn't even know what the…read moreparts of the guitar were called beyond maybe 4-5 things. Let me stress here, I knew zip, zero, nada about guitars, but I wanted to learn how to play. So.... When I first found Elite Academy I was on the fence about whether to learn to play the guitar on my own by watching YouTube videos, or go for in-person lessons. (which I was quite fearful of doing due to covid and living with an extremely high-risk person) I'd decided to start out with just a couple of in-person lessons, to at least get a semi-proper start with a bit of feedback, and then mainly stick with YouTube. I NOW realize how completely naive that idea was, assuming you truly want to learn that is! Anyway, I talked to Damian, who is the director of Elite Academy, and after discussing my concerns with in-person instruction he told me online lessons would likely be the best fit for me personally. (I'm sure he quickly realized I was over-the-top paranoid about in-person lessons. Lol) I thought I'd give online lessons a try, even though I honestly assumed "online lessons" wouldn't be as beneficial as in-person lessons. WRONG! What occurred next changed EVERYTHING!! We set up a time for an online lesson. Prior to my 1st lesson Damian sent me a few of his beginner videos to watch as well as other info/charts to look over. The information was presented in a crystal clear fashion, it was easy to understand and retain, and it became instantly clear to me that a TREMENDOUS amount of time and thought had been put into his lesson plans, and they were structured in a way that was absolutely intentional in helping a beginner learn in the easiest and fastest way possible. After the first lesson I knew without a doubt I'd accidentally hit the jackpot in finding Damian! I'm now 2 months in with weekly online lessons and I can't believe what I've learned in such a short time. I'm beyond impressed with Damian as an instructor! If you are searching for a guitar instructor, all I can say is give Damian a call and take a lesson or two. His fees are extremely reasonable and it's worth a try. If you aren't happy then move on, but I'm 100% sure after a lesson or two you won't be going anywhere! (because then you'll know what I already found out... JACKPOT!! Lol)

We went to view our friends who were in a competition at the Goldstar ballroom from different…read moreareas. They were doing a competition and we went to support our friend who is a paraplegic dancing at this event. It was a $20 ticket. Seating was pretty tight for us. It said it was offering lunch. They offered three types of chicken tenders from Publix that I carried in because the people were struggling to get the food inside numerous salads and charcuterie. There was no knives for the cheese there were no knives for the chicken, which was ice cold, it was fried chicken tenders three different kinds ice cold that you had to eat with your hands. This is probably not something. The ballroom is known for this event that was held at the ballroom. It's very dated looking with the white Christmas lights and the ugly curtains. It really needs a facelift if they want to bring in premier dancers that's what I think as a spectator.

It was not what I expected. There was a group of about 16-18 people there to learn Basic Cha Cha…read more If you've never taken ballroom dance lessons before, you might be in trouble. Marta, the instructor illustrates the steps in front of the group and then the group tries to repeat the steps to music. If you're not immediately catching on, that's too bad because you won't be shown what you're doing wrong - even if you ask for help! The instructor never attempts to intercede in the group to help those who need a little extra help in learning how to move correctly. The corrections are directed at the whole group with things like "Some of you are doing this. That's wrong. It should go like this". Then everyone switches partners in a rotating fashion so if you went there to learn to dance with your wife, you do so after you've danced with 8 or 9 other partners in the rotation. You could go the whole hour doing something wrong and never get help to correct your mistakes. A simple demonstration to show you how to do the steps right would go a long way. If you're like me, never having any structured dance lessons, then you'll never learn the dance and the group will proceed leaving you behind to catch up on your own. A practice session was scheduled for one night but the instructor doesn't attend these. You're on your own among other people who are taking different classes and practicing to their music. You have to be aggressive and insist they play some music for your dance; otherwise you'll be attempting to cha cha to swing or two step or whatever happens to be playing. The real complaint is that as you rotate among different partners and you're confused on some moves, it's somewhat humiliating and embarrassing as you attempt to lead a partner and foul it up for both of you. I decided to look for better instruction elsewhere and dropped out of the class. And by the way, there are no refunds.

Then switches back on a dime and exveryone is supposed to forget about it. Even if little ones not yelled at, they see this. My child was approached and pressured to join company without consulting with me first, causing a year long rift with my child the next year as the constant performances even at places like country clubs and restaurants did not fit into our family's schedule as we have 2 other kids and their schedules to balance, and added rehearsals week of a showdolls show were too much with school. Plus, i work nights so could not volunteer as the mothers are expected to make it their life too, for no discounts or pay or anything. The instruction was just okay, and the acro in particular was really lame. Way overcrowded and work on the same 4 moves for years. Also, they are laying all over the floor and it's filthy, do not have a cleaning company because it's all about the money there and totally disorganized...lice and athlete's foot run rampant all year. We switched mid year to another studio and it is worth the drive. No mothers expected to work for free, clean as a whistle, no bubbling floors, they pay staff well and teachers are good, more than one show a year without comiting to 'company' and nice people who will not go postal on your kid. Do yourself a favor and RUN! Don't be fooled by proximity when the personalities could damage how your child feels about her talents.
