Dance Place: what do users think?

Ryan Delcher: Positive: Communication, ProfessionalismThe Dance Place Studio team is awesome to work with! I worked with Sarah G at Dance Place for a special event they hosted. She was friendly, professional, and a great communicator! Highly recommend this Studio and their team!

Janine Hightower: The variety of performances that pass through this place is mind-blowing 🤯! A cultural experience for all. Many of the performances offer audience participation/interaction. Tickets are reasonably priced, nice variety of snacks. Also you can often meet performance members after show! Clean bathrooms, friendly and organized staff. Be prepared to give written feedback...😉

dipika: Dance Place is one of my favorite establishments in DC, period. Their site schedule is diverse and offers something for everyone and they really focus on local talent which is special. The classes are also great, quite varied, and the space is good for beginning and intermediate class.

Daniel Burkholder: Dance Place is the premier performance space for dance in the DC region with performances almost every weekend ranging from Modern to Post-Modern, World Dances to Performance Art. Highlights include annual Dance Africa, DC festival as well as its complete season of regional, national and international artists. Dance Place also offers a range of classes for adults and youth from beginning to professional. A great place!

Séber Method Academy: what do users think?

Nikita Rao: This dance school is a real find for drop in classes for dance for adults. I would highly recommend Adriane and Kay as they are the two teachers I use for tap classes.They are excellent teachers, thorough with their teachings and very amicable and friendly. I have also met some lovely fellow adult tappers at these classes. I love the concept of drop in classes which, maybe encourages more adults to learn a method of dance without fully committing to a session made up of many weeks. *Remaining message removed per request*

Riley Lewis-Jones: I absolutely love the studio- I’ve been going here for years, everyone is very welcoming and it’s a great environment to dance in! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to take classes, regardless of experience. I especially love the Belly Dance classes and being a part of the Youth Company, Raqs Habibi

Angela Ingram: Great classes an excellent training.

Anastasia Wass: Great teachers and a welcoming environment!

Jones-Haywood Dance School: what do users think?

M.E. Dolan: This non profit dance institution is a gem. It is run with love and care and earnest personal attention. Lots of places out there see you walk through the doors and just see dollar signs. Ms. Fortune and the team that runs Jones Haywood stay true to their mission of making dance available to all and thereby expand horizons for children and their families. The school and Ms. Fortune has made a great difference in the lives of my children. Highly recommend!!

Adrienne Burrows: I remember the Jones-Haywood School of Ballet from my days as a young girl growing up in Washington, DC. I am so glad that it still is thriving in the community.

The Kirov Academy of Washington, DC: what do users think?

Natalie Taylor: Incredibly professional and quality instruction. I took their online adult ballet, and Allison and Irina both were marvelous. Allison clearly set goals for the improvement of her students and was really knowledge about the biomechanics necessary to achieve those goals. I dramatically improved in flexibility and strength by spending mornings with Irina. The Saturday workshops (when I could make them) were informative and fun.

Jolissa Lybarger: The Kirov prepares not only quality Vaganova based ballet training, but also provides a supportive and kind staff. Their ability to connect with their students was apparent to me within a few days. They have high standards for instruction but also understand the importance of knowing kids. Their communication is always done with such thoughtfulness and efficiency. I never had to wait long for a response regardless of how busy the staff was at that time. I was also always treated with respect no matter how small or strange the question. I really felt valued as a parent. The best part was my daughter left The Kirov summer intensive a better and more confident dancer.

Yoonee van den eynde: My daughter loved so much her Summer Intensive at the Kirov Academy! She loved all!! She had such an incredible experience and she was so grateful to have such a hight level of training! She loved her teachers . She blossomed socially and made great friends ! The food was as well delicious and all the staff working there were incredibly sweet and helpful! So she can’t wait to be back for the year around ! She found her Ballet family and we are so grateful ❤️ Thank you Kirov Academy! Services: Jazz , Repertory ballet , Pointe ballet , Classical ballet technique , Intermediate program

Gail Kee: Kirov is a place for the serious ballet student, and few schools in the US that can match it in terms of teaching and care of full-time academy students. Kirov instructors pay attention to all students, not just the best ones. My 15-year old daughter has been in the academy for 3 years, and she has grown tremendously, not only in technical ability but in artistry and emotional understanding of her craft. Kirov, like any ballet school, has had its ups and down. But we have always appreciated the deep commitment of the teachers and staff.

Karen Cerkez: The Kirov Academy is a Great School , with a caring and loving Staff. The school has a wonderful history and a strong Alumni . Past Students and Graduates are performing in major ballet companies all over the World ,as Corp members , Soloist and Principal dancers. Many of them that have retired from there dance careers have become Doctors , Lawyers ,CEOs, Business Owners even Movie Stars. The school has had a 100% of students graduating and going onto great careers .

L D: Positive: Communication, Professionalism, QualityKirov was the only school this summer that went through all the hoops to provide an in-person intensive. Kudos! They succeeded despite many obstacles and my daughter gained valuable skills in a classroom, where dancers need to be.

acarineric: Positive: Professionalism, QualityA super show from the dancers of the Kirov Academy combining ballet skills and artistic talent. Kudos to the Kirov Academy for having delivered this full length and diverse gala show under the constraint of the pandemic.

Greater Washington Dance Center: what do users think?

The Mills Family: GWDC is a wonderful dance home for any family. Our daughter loves her teachers and classes and they always challenge her to grow. We are thankful for the healthy attitudes about body image, strength and diversity that are present at the studio. Our daughter looks up to the older dancers who are great role models. The performance opportunities, especially the Nutcracker, are something our daughter looks forward to every year.

Dawn Tucker: My daughter, now 6, has been a part of the GWDC family for a couple years. They are inclusive, supportive, and a wonderful studio to be a part of. The owner and teachers are professional and work with children no matter the goals. We are proud to be a part of this community and feel very lucky for my daughter to have started here so young.

John Setlik: Our daughter has attended GWDC now for 3 years, entering at an awkward age with not particularly strong dance experience. Within a year, Gretchen and her staff had turned her around with noticeable improvement. They have been positive, supportive, and inclusive in such a way that our daughter LOVES attending her multiple classes each week. Being a busy high school student, Gretchen was very kind about working with difficult schedules. It’s also very clear that student safety is a top priority as training is taken very seriously before students are allowed to advance. Along with the ballet instruction, the modern and tap classes are excellent as well. If you’re looking for dance instruction at any age, we would highly recommend checking out GWDC!

Meg V: This is such a wonderful studio! The quality of instruction is superb, but most importantly it is a loving, encouraging, and kind family of dancers for all ages and levels.

Caitlin Vives: GWDC is an absolute haven for my sparkly, ballet-loving son. GWDC is an inclusive, welcoming, HEALTHY dance studio that offers all dancers a place to grow and flourish on their dance journey. If you have a son who is interested in dance, THIS is the place to be. GWDC values all of their dancers, but the male dancers here are not just an afterthought. The studio has various classes devoted to helping the male dancers hone their skills. The camaraderie among the ballerinos is absolutely gorgeous. You cannot ask for a better set of role models and companions for your son. The director is warm, welcoming, and holds high expectations rooted unequivocally in love for not just dance but each dancer. The inclusive and hospitable environment at GWDC comes from the top down. Every teacher cares. Every single one. If you want to offer your child a place where they can safely be themselves and pursue/find not just their love of dance but of themselves, come to GWDC. And if you do join us, come say, "Hi!" We GWDC parents are a friendly lot :)

Amanda King: GWDC has amazing teachers! We love Ms Julianne, she is patient and kind, especially with a room of 5 year old beginning ballerinas. Highly recommend this studio, especially for young dancers.

The Salsa With Silvia Dance Studio: what do users think?

Summer Brouwer: There’s a reason why they have 5 stars! I never had the luxury of attending dance classes. I just moved here cross country and wanted to try a new experience. I was very hesitant, and very nervous, but I bought the new student pass for $100. The pass allows you to attend unlimited group classes for the month. It’s about a week into the session and I am in love with dance! They have many different instructors and many different styles of dance. I felt at ease learning with other students of my skill level and the energy of my instructors helped me feel so comfortable as well. If you’re on the fence about whether you want to try it or not, GET OVER IT! I love it here and you will too!

Reema Bhardwaj: Salsa with Silvia is THE PLACE TO BE. Whether you’re looking to improve your dancing, rent their beautiful studio for your private event, or bring your kids for an experience. You will leave feeling satisfied and happy that you took the step to come in. There is a reason this studio is the #1 Latin Dance studio in the DMV. You can feel the love that was put into the studio from starting out in just a basement to two studios! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The teachers are patient, understanding, and energetic. The adult dance classes are always so much fun and filled with great material you can take with you. They even allow videos to be taken so you can look back to review. And the owner Silvia, she is a boss lady. Very friendly, helpful, and fun. If you’re looking to have a great time with your friends, learn, teach your children dance, or have a private event, come here & don’t waste your time calling other studios!

Darniesha Beach: Took my 2 year old to the babies dance class and the teacher was great. Very good with little ones and my daughter took to her immediately. The class was empty just 2 little ones including mine... but she still managed to fill the time and make it fun. Everything was very clean and location is nice if you want to make a day of it. My only complaint is the time; my daughter has to skip a nap to attend. She was super cranky so I don’t think we’ll be back until a different time slot is available or she no longer needs her afternoon nap. A class between 9&12 or at 5 would be cool.

Melody Bowles: Everyone should go! We did the romantic kizumba class and it was amazing

Zey: Salsa with Silvia is more than a dance studio. Lots of magic happens there. You’ve got all the basics- amazing instructors, good variety of classes in style and level, a professional business, and a safe and reliable environment. In addition, you learn how dancing is about much more than just moving your body. By joining the studio you enter a community, so you meet amazing people and make new friends. The owner Silvia is always engaged and she is always willing to help. I have been going to the studio for about 2 years now, and the instructor I have taken the most number of classes with is Joffre. I always had a thing for salsa, but he is the one who really made me love it. Joffre is technically very competent, and he is also a great teacher (which is not always a given). He is also a warm and genuine person, who is very open to feedback. And as a bonus, he has the best taste in music, I learned the best songs/ artists I know from him. In short, if you are interested in entering the world of latin dancing, SWS is the place for you!

Amelia Marple: I LOVE their adult classes! Challenging but really feel like you are progressing week after week. Lots of fun! Definitely left sore and inspires! I feel like a real dancer in these rooms

Shadi Assar: I had my daughters 5th bday party here and it was a great experience. We had a decent size separate room to have pizza and cake and set up our own decorations as we wanted. Kids had a separate room for their dance lesson. The dance instructor was very bubbly and perfectly geared for getting children riled up for a fun time. Both boys and girls had a good time dancing and running around. Highly recommend!!! Very clean and modern environment especially compared to other local studios.

Jazz B: I had a lot of fun at the kpop dance class !

Making Moves Dance Collective (MMDC): what do users think?

Takiaya Hall: I am so glad I made the decision to get my daughter involved in dancing. I stumbled across Making Moves Dance Collective 3 years ago and my daughter has been a part of the family every since. When I use the term “family”, it’s not loosely. At Making Moves Dance Collective they make you feel like you’re a part of an extended family. My daughter has gained valuable friendships and big sisters while being exposed to professional dance training and skills that are truly invaluable! I thank Making Moves Dance Collective for allowing us to be part of something great! And now my toddler son is attending dance classes at the studio!

Candace Dula: I have had 3 children dance with MMDC and we have become a part of something much bigger than us! I love the tight-knit, family feel of the studio, and the Directors are Awesome!!! The teachers are all very talented, and most importantly they love the children, so they work with them to bring out the shining stars!!! No matter the shape, size, or color, all are welcome and that is why Making Moves has set a standard for all others to follow!!!

Araceli Carreno: Best Dance Studio in the DMV. My niece has been dancing with them for 4yrs and my daughter started this month. Staff is amazing and they all treat you like family. My daughter is only 2 and she absolutely loves Miss Shannan. My niece is part of their competition team "PRIDE" and it is amazing. All their routines are so much fun to watch.

M. Serrano: A great dance studio that is very diverse and caters to the entire community on a recreational and competitive level. My daughter has been dancing here since the age of 4 and she is 12 years old now. The studio has also grown to be very competitive and participates and shines in dance competitions both local and out of state. The teaching staff are a group of talented individuals and the two owners are the warmest pair of ladies you will ever meet. As a non-profit organization, the studio awards scholarships each year to those who carry dance in their heart but cannot afford to pay for dance lessons. They definitely strive to provide excellent technical training while developing their dancers’ confidence. Check them out!

Noel Johnson: Making Move Dance Collective is THE BEST studio in the Washington Metropolitan area! My daughter started here in 2016 and the transformation from then to now is truly astounding. Enrolling her in classes at this studio is one of the best decisions I could have ever made. Miss Kellie and Miss Amber saw her potential and ran with it! I could not be more pleased with her development and growth under the teachings at MMDC!

Breyona Richardson: MMDC is a great dance studio! My daughter started with MMDC when she was 3 years old and she is now 7. She has grown into this talented dancing machine and the credit goes towards the dance instructors at MMDC. This year is my daughters first year on the competitive Pride Team and it has been nothing but a great experience! Every Competition we have left with Platinums, High Golds, 1st and 2nd places. Bringing her to MMDC was the best decision I made for my daughter! Coming into the studio you are always greated with friendly smiles! It is definitely a family oriented atmosphere! You will not be disappointed! Ms. Kellie and Ms. Amber are the absolute BEST there is!

Jamii PremDas: My son and daughter love MMDC! It is family oriented and a very comfortable environment. I appreciate the dual emphasis on choreography and technique. There is open communcation with the instructors and directors. All the staff are passionate about dance, teaching, and develping children.

It’s a fun, engaging experience for a wide range of ages!

Nalia Ahmed: Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality, ValueZind is a welcoming community that has helped me grow as a dancer, and improve upon my skills in so many areas. Even though I dance in a group, I’m also getting individual feedback and learning how to become more expressive as an individual. The best part of joining Zind however is gaining a new family.

Andrea Miller: ZIND is a wonderful dance community focused on uplifting and encouraging all dancers.

Millie Vyas: Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality, ValueWhen I first joined Zind, I was shy and very stiff as a dancer. Throughout the years I have felt more comfortable on the stage and with my classmates, making me more confident and expressive.

Sonal Desai: I love that they offer so many different genres of traditional Indian dance. If you’re looking for a new experience, I highly recommend Zind! The instructors are very patient and so encouraging. It’s a very fun dynamic and a great after school activity for kids and adults alike.

Smitha Menon: I had great experience working with Ninankshi Dance Studio - whether sending my son to perform with the group or working with the director in organizing a program. Nina, the director of the Dance Studio is very passionate about dancing and teaching her students. She is very professional, creative and organized.
