The director is very rigid unless you are one of her favorites. Very political, lots of drama, and more expensive than other studios. The cost for a competitive solo is easily more than twice that of other studios. ($140/month for 11 months vs $600 per solo at the studio across the street) My kid was turned down from even taking a class after we have invested years of our time and commitment and thousands of dollars for competition team. This year, we didn't join the team and were booted from the studio altogether.

The classes are a trip as there could be anyone from a totally brand new beginner, with no experience whatsoever, to those of us who in our brains think we can still dance like we did when we were younger, but then are faced with the reality of our bodies not exactly moving the way they do in our minds :) Our instructor Karen accommodates all of those circumstances and there is an adult intermediate class to advance to if the beginner class ever gets too easy (HA!)

I love dancing! As I traveling nurse, I have experienced multiple schools across the country. The…read morequality of lessons I am receiving at Salsa in the Suburbs is second to none. Big dance schools like to hold you back & put everyone into a single curricular mold. I was always bored and wanting more. All the other staff members & students here are knowledgeable and welcoming as well. Socials and practice parties are an added bonus. I've always loved Salsa, but now my interest in Bachata has been piqued as well. Do yourself a favor and try Sensual Bachata! Julie is a particularly great coach! She is always pushing and challenging me. Even when I am not sure of my abilities, she strives to get more out of me. This personalization is what I've always wanted and that other schools are lacking. In addition to the dance instruction, Julie is a blast to work with and we laugh the entire lesson. I'm learning so much, getting in a great workout, and having a great time while doing it! I highly recommend Salsa in the Suburbs and all it has to offer for your dancing desires.

I'd been to classes at another venue before, and while I enjoyed those classes, I do appreciate the different levels they have at Salsa in the Suburbs. They structure the classes well so that you can put together a routine by the time you finish up a course. The instructors are very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We went to one of the later classes in the series, so we needed some clarification on a part of the routine that we had missed in prior classes. One of the instructors, Craig, was great about showing us what we had missed and helping us both get it right. He didn't just show us what we had asked about; he asked us to do the entire routine to make sure we understood it all, which was great. I'm looking forward to attending the rest of the classes in this series as well as the higher-level classes.

Nothing else can so…read moreeffectively give outward form to an inner experience."-Lyall Watson In the current world climate of growing-up-to-soon, dance offers a safe place to both embrace a child's youthfulness while growing self expression and raising positive values. Through both the art of dance and the lessons throughout dance class, Kathi's has an unequivocal influence on your child's future. The commitment to both dance and academics is not for every child or family, but my daughter is not every child and Kathi's Dance Studio (Morton, PA) is more than a dance school. Kathi and her administration treat their students like family. Years at Kathi's for both my daughters and I have been invaluable. My firstborn went to Kathi's, inspiring my youngest to try. My shy introverted child has become confident and fearless. She has grown socially and emotionally balanced, service-oriented and helpful - a true role model to other students. She applies the techniques learned through both a choreographic and creative process. Growth at Kathi's doesn't have an age limit: parents are encouraged to participate. As a dance mom, I am a witness to the remarkable qualities of Ms. Kathi and her unparalleled commitment to the children at her school and the craft she has loved passionately her whole life. Life requires more than just participation; it requires dedication. As a parent, I want to instill in my children that life is much more than a paycheck on a Friday. Giving the gift of dance, truly teaches the art of vigor. Give your child just that, one pirouette at a time.

The Wednesday morning class is a joy. The dancers are a nice mix ranging from students who danced as children, to others who more recently have realized an adult dream come true, college students earning degrees, people who seek an outstanding form of fitness, as well as active and retired dancers enjoying their craft. Altogether it is a healthy mix of upbeat, friendly, supportive people. When I am there, the problems of the world drop away. And when I leave, I feel exhilarated and ready for anything. Jeannie H.
