DO NOT go here if you are taking dance lessons for a wedding. My fiancé and I signed up to take 8 classes and have had 3 different instructors due to instructors leaving the studi...
o. There has been no continuity between instructors, therefore each time we've had to essentially start over. We had our last lesson scheduled and after they canceled the session twice, we received a call saying our 3rd instructor left. 7 lessons in, 4 instructors, and no complete dance for our wedding in a week - the money spent was a total waste. When we had a call with the manager to try to rectify the situation, she blamed us and recognized no fault of the studio. Save your money or go elsewhere, but DO NOT give them your business.
My (now) husband left angry after most lessons. So many problems it's hard to know where to start.
1. Wedding couples were unimportant compared to 'regulars'. We were in the same r...
oom as multiple other lessons, and the music that they played had totally different tempos than the dance we were learning (e.g. we were learning Foxtrot, and they were playing tango, waltz, etc.) Our instructor tried to follow us with a quiet iphone to try helplessly to let us hear the beat we were dancing to.
2. We were pressured (with loads of solicitation phone calls) into getting a package that included group social dance lessons. However, we were never informed that if too few couples came they would be cancelled (or even that we needed to sign up ahead of time).
3. Our instructor, while very nice and earnest, was totally unprepared to teach and choreograph a first dance. She did not remember, after 6 lessons, that we had limited time and was surprised on our last lesson that our wedding was only 2 weeks away (despite having told her on multiple occasions).
4. When trying to complain to the owner, it was difficult to get him on the phone, and he made little attempt to rectify.
We got so frustrated that we went on Craigs List and found someone else (at a much lower cost) who got us totally prepared for our first dance in a fraction of the time, and showed far more care and professionalism.
My wife and I had a great time learning our first dance at the Academy of Social Dance. Our instructor was very informative, and explained how to do our first dance very clearly. W...
e took three lessons there and thoroughly enjoyed our time!
We had a great time learning a wedding dance together. We took lessons for about six months leading up to our wedding. It was great to get to spend that time together every week....
The Academy was wonderful and created the perfect dance for our wedding day!
Both of us could dance, but nothing formal. Stephanie guided us through learning the fox trot during weekly sessions that in the end made us look like we knew what we were doing du...
ring our first dance. Whew!!
