My fiancé and I had our first lesson with Ilia. We took advantage of the studios introductory offer of two private lessons for $99, and plan to do a more lessons after that. We want to learn a choreographed dance for our wedding, and Ilia has been phenomenal so far. Even in just one lesson my fiancé and I have learned so much and my fiancé’s confidence has grown already! Looking forward to our future lessons and surprising everyone at our wedding with what we learn.

I love Ilia. He is so personable and a great instructor. He listened to what we were looking for and kept us on track for our wedding dance. We plan on going back very soon with group of friends for lessons.

Amazing team and teachers. We wanted to learn a dance for our first dance and it was perfect for a beginners class, but they never ever made us feel like beginners. They listened to our music, and immediately knew how to incorporate a ballroom dance with it. We had other well known dance studios in Ohio request we change our first dance song because it would be too difficult to choreograph. All in all it has been a wonderful experience- we HIGHLY recommend them and will likely continue our dance classes after the wedding!

I've been to several dance studios in the Cleveland area, and I can say without a doubt that WHYM is the absolute best. Ilia and Maria Volokh, the owners, are absolutely phenomenal teachers whatever level of dancing ability you have. I compete at the collegiate level, and working with them this summer has truly transformed my dancing. Even if you don't compete, you absolutely will become a better dancer if you go to this studio and really listen to what they teach. They are the best instructors for social dancing I have ever met. Ilia knows how to teach guys to really lead and teach girls how to really follow, a trait that is rare and difficult to find in studios in the area. And as an added plus, the dance floor in the studio, which Ilia installed himself, is the best dance floor I have ever stepped foot on. The ambience of the entire place is absolutely flawless as well. The entire experience of going to WHYM for dance lessons is absolutely phenomenal. Their prices for private lessons may at first appear higher than other studios in the area, but if you actually do the math based on the instruction time, you get more time for your money at WHYM than comparable studios in the area. Add in free attendance at group classes on top of that (a perk that other studios do not generally offer) and the simply superior quality of their instruction, and WHYM also becomes the best value in the area for dance instruction. If you want to learn ballroom dancing and live within 30 miles of Chagrin Falls, you simply have to go to WHYM. It's worth the drive!
