Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Focusing on the basics of dance and movement, we are able to make our students feel like they are in control of their bodies' motion. Once you understand the basic relationship between you feet/legs, hips, and upper body, you'll feel more confident on the dance floor! We teach countless new moves and exercises to help you understand your body more. We stress the importance of musicality and how it shapes our dancing and movement, because after all, without music there is no dancing! We have classes solely dedicated to partnering and the proper lead/follow techniques of different dances. A lot of our classes are physically intense, so be prepared to sweat as well! Lastly, we stress the importance of having fun, socializing and being entertained at our classes. We always keep the mood light making jokes but also getting down to business of learning. We have our monthly dance outings to show off the skills we've acquired throughout the month! Whether you want to join our group classes or schedule private lessons with our main coach, we'll make you fall in love with dance no matter what! With over a decade experience, our main dance instructor will cater to your needs making sure that you are always progressing in your dance! He has experience teaching both kids and adults, and is confident he will be able to help you move it, move it. We love watching our students' progression. Most of our new students come in saying that they don't know how to dance and have two left feet. We love proving those students wrong! We love seeing them blossom into dancers who understand their body's motion. We love seeing them get down on the dance floor and have strangers compliment them on their newly acquired skills! Seeing this progression is truly awe-inspiring.

This is really the best dance class I have had in my life. I learned and perfected fundamentals that can be used to dance to almost any kind of music. I am much more confident on dance floors and in my life.

Arkadiy is an awesome dance instructor who breaks down the basic steps to rumba, cha cha, etc. in a way even the most novice of dancers can understand. And then builds on it to a level you wouldn't think you can reach. I traveled from NJ for his classes and it was worth the trip each time.

RKD is a great instructor. I have never taken a dance class before, but he immediately makes you feel comfortable, puts you at ease with his friendly demeanor, and is a creative teacher. Great guidance is what yields fantastic dancers. I've also made great and amazing friends leaving me smiling after each class. The experience of ballroom has me dancing with joy each week. Fun times!!

I'm the most uncoordinated person I know, but RKD is such a great teacher that he's been able to transform me into a somewhat enviable dancer. He's really great at breaking down each step, helping you understand how your body parts work in tandem to create a motion, and then synthesizing it all together into a cohesive routine. During classes, there is a lot of individual attention, as well as camaraderie amongst the students--we all help each other learn, which fosters the kind of environment that makes this class perfect for beginners.
