Dance Factory

y step of the way to help us nail them down and advise us generally. Thank you, Maria and Dance Factory!!

elp us out. She already knew the song we that we wanted to use for our first dance, took our input, and created a simple to execute, but engaging routine that we could learn very quickly. We booked the Express package and learned the routine in one day. Lee helped us have a lot of fun during what could have been a very stressful situation. We would totally recommend her to anyone who needs some dance help. We enjoyed it so much, that we may even continue after the wedding!

an teach us to dance, she can teach anyone!

onfident. Our first dance was incredible and will remain one of our favorite memories for a lifetime. All of our guests were so shocked by the dance and our skills! It was a wonderful experience. We have even decided we’d like to go back to see Maria for more dance lessons as a couples date night to continue the fun! Absolutely recommend the studio and especially Maria.

yable that we wish to take further dance classes post wedding just to learn more and have date nights. We couldn't recommend Maria more.

ities and made me and my husband want to continue to take dance lessons! Couldn't recommend enough.

he end we were totally confident and excited about our dance performance. The lessons were probably the most enjoyable part of the whole wedding planning process for us. Maria started us with basic steps and worked up to dips, spins, promenades and more by progressively building upon each lesson. Her instructions were easy to follow, and her overall manner of teaching was laid back, encouraging and honest. Would highly recommend working with her!

dding and every lesson was so helpful and a fun activity to do together. We ended up feeling so comfortable and confident in our routine and have a basic step that we can use anytime we’d like! We really loved working with Maria and are looking forward to future lessons with Maria and Dance Factory!

t on the dance floor. She helped us figure out how to fit dips and spins into our first dance. Not only did our first dance go flawlessly, but not we have the skills to impress our friends on the dance floor at future events.

making dancing feel easy. All of our instructors were extremely patient and very talented, taking as much time as we needed to go over and practice different dance moves. Maria was an especially awesome instructor we enjoyed working with! One thing that speaks volumes about Dance Factory is how they went above and beyond with us during COVID. We had to postpone our wedding shortly after we had just taken our first of 3 dance lessons. Even though it wasn't until a year later that we reached out about the remaining 2 lessons, Dennis quickly got us scheduled for 3 lessons at no additional cost or delay!!!

and such a great value. We met with Maria once a month before our wedding, and the lessons made all the difference. We felt confident (and competent!) for our big moment, and it was perfect. Thank you!!!!!!!

ould highly recommend for beginners looking to learn a few cute moves!

to come by. In less that 24 hours the Dance Factory was able to squeeze us in for 3 dance lessons within the week. We learned a beautiful dance that is easy for beginners!!! It was such a pleasant experience having a team that was so accommodating to us. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

practice for our first dance. My fiancé and I had no prior dancing experience, so we simply wanted to look a little bit more put together on the dance floor. Michael made sure we accomplished this goal, and he even went the extra mile to teach us some impressive steps. We also found the lessons to be a fun break from other wedding planning. Whether you are looking just to polish your skills or do something more choreographer, highly recommend!

and very affordable. We started off with a 5 pack and met our instructor Maria. She made us feel SO comfortable and helped us so much. When we first started lessons, we were barely able to do a basic step and by the end we knew 5 different types of turns and had a beautiful first dance for our wedding. We looked forward to going to our dance lessons in the months leading up to our wedding and adored working with Maria. We felt SO good on our wedding night doing our dance, and now looking back on the moment and the pictures and video, I am SO glad we took the time to take lessons. Our crowd loved it and it was such a nice way to kick off our reception. I'd highly recommend Dance Studio, and specifically Maria, for any brides and grooms that need some help for their big day!

and made sure that we were prepared for our big day with an interesting but simple dance. I highly recommend Dance Factory!

he taught us! The wedding package is a great deal and a really fun activity to do with your fiancé! We highly recommend working with Maria at the dance factory - she’s great!

till had two more! A ton of fun!

e dancing skills. We did not have a clue what we would do for our first dance and Maria made us feel confident after our three 45 minute sessions. Cannot recommend her enough!

thoughtful, professional, warm, flexible - she'll help you and your partner reach your dancing potential. :) My husband and I felt confident on our wedding dance floor. Maria was wonderful in guiding our lessons - she's highly recommended.

ts for their dance! We all really enjoyed her.

oing 2 of our lessons -- I think there was a double-booking for the hall at the Lyon Village Community House or something, not Dance Factory's fault -- but we were very happy with the result. (And we got a prompt refund for the 3rd class at the package rate, which we appreciated.)

emony. Thanks so much!!!

the moves we learned. For private lessons we felt like there was great value for the money. My only complaint would be that the settings were not ideal. In Arlington, a large dance class was assembling towards the tail end of our lesson and in Alexandria, there were multiple other group dance classes going on that made it distracting for us to learn.

a, and after just a couple of lessons we had a dance we really liked.

he DC metro area. This ended up having good reviews, was responsive to our emails, and the price for a 5-class wedding package is one of the cheaper ones around. Also, we first saw them when they were offering a free wedding class - but the class was full. We emailed and the owner set up a free private class for us instead! Our assigned instructor, Jennifer, was really quite good - demonstrated first, then had us perform the step once slowly on our own without the music (still following her), slowly together without music and then finally to the song itself. She observed us and gave us tips on areas for improvement. Oh - and just to be clear, neither of us are expert dancers. I've had a few classes several years ago and enjoy dancing - while my new husband was pretty much starting from the basics. At the end of the package, we felt relaxed and comfortable with our dance for the night. Our instructor even showed a few "fun" dance steps for the rest of the evening. Super basic stuff, but we ended up using one of them! Our first dance couldn't have gone better - we were able to just relax and enjoy the moment, not stress out about getting the steps right. We didn't make a single mistake, and it was perfect! The only reason I've deducted a star (and would prefer deducting only 1/2 a star but that's not an option here), was because of a scheduling issue for one of our classes. There was some mix up, which was ultimately resolved, but it could have been prevented. However, our instructor was very apologetic about it, and we were still able to have our class with her. Thank you Jennifer and Dance Factory for making our first dance go so smoothly! Once we get more settled in after our wedding, we're thinking of going back for some more lessons - never hurts to learn more moves or improve your current ones!

mazing! We danced to Michael Buble's Everything, and she choreographed the most amazing dance. Our guests loved it, and more importantly, we LOVED it! The lessons were a ton of fun, great bonding time, and it made for an unforgettable moment on wedding day :)

sa teacher! James listened to our wedding song once, told us it was a tricky Viennese Waltz, and put us to work. James was friendly, explained everything well and multiple times, if needed, and even paid attention to details like my shoes and dress volume. He choreographed a complex dance that used the whole floor space and threw in a bunch of tricks. We were nervous, but executing it well was one of the most exhilarating moments! We will never forget that feeling. We will definitely be going back to take more lessons with James.

letely flexible and was able to spot our issues and help us fix them. We actually looked forward to our lessons with her and in the end we danced without thinking and enjoyed the moment.

h lesson (because of us being pretty hopeless and not having enough time to practice in between the first 5 lessons). Dmitri was friendly, patient, and helpful, and our guests were surprised and excited about our dance. Definitely worth fitting into your budget!

he entire night without any problem. He's super laid back and a joy to work with... we want to go back for more lessons once we pay off the wedding! :-)

to create a great dance for our first dance. The movements she taught us we will remember and have already performed these dance moves at other parties. Truly a great experience.

In only five classes we got a beautiful dance with Mike's help.

innumerable valuable tips about our entrance and the small things to remember that would greatly improve our photos. I'm not sure we did justice to what he taught us, but we had a great time!

stomized our dance to our abilities and what we wanted and it came out great. It was such a huge surprise for everyone when we busted out with this amazing routine, people were screaming and cheering. It was one of the greatest moments of our wedding thanks to Sam!
