So much love for all my my dancing instructors and friends. If I could leave 6 stars I would. As an example here is the reaction of the team to me asking if I can leave a review: “This better be a 5 star review Zach” - the guy who Mary describes as “conspicuous and peculiar”

Review from Google · view on GoogleI’ve been coming here for about 6 weeks now and I can’t express enough how the instructors are so patient, caring and supportive. They love their job and it shows. My first concern is that I don’t have a partner and the other one was, I needed to be a strong leader. I go to the clubs and dance with different women. My instructor is my partner and I was with her for two weeks. Then they rotate me with an another instructor, so I can get experience with dancing with other women. I’ve met some award winning dancer there and every Friday nights, they have a little party with free dancing so everyone can practice what they learn. I can say you so much more how I love this place and how they made me feel so welcome and loved, like I am part of their family. If you want to learn how to dance even if it’s for just for one event. This is the place with very experienced, patient and dedicated instructors that will be by your side all the way. I thank all the instructors for helping me and many more to come. God bless Keith

Review from Google · view on GoogleI've been going her for about a year now and truly fell in love with the people and dancing altogether. At the beginning I thought it was just going to be a here and there thing maybe 3 classes at most and then a year went by and I am still here! 100% would reccomend even 1 or 2 classes here whether it is a wedding dance or just for fun.
