As someone who has visited many Dance training centers across the country...I know this is one of the finest! Happy dancing!

My son has recently become really interested in dance, and one day while we were walking by N Space…read moreDance, he stopped, looked through the window, and asked if we could go inside. As it turned out, a ballroom dance class was starting in just 10 minutes -- and without hesitation, Natasha welcomed him in with warmth and excitement. What could've been a nerve-wracking experience for a new student turned into something truly special. Natasha made him feel completely at ease right away. She treated him like he belonged there, and it was clear she has a natural gift for working with kids. During the class, I watched her create an environment that felt incredibly safe and supportive while still challenging the dancers to push themselves. She struck that perfect balance of structure and encouragement. Every child in the room looked focused, happy, and proud of themselves -- and that's all thanks to the way Natasha leads. We walked into N Space Dance on a whim, but we left feeling like we had found something really special. I can't recommend this studio -- or Natasha -- highly enough. She brings out the best in her students, and I'm so glad my son had the chance to be part of her class.

Natasha is a gem -- warm, intuitive, and so in tune with every dancer in the room. Whether you're figuring out your first salsa steps or working on refining your styling, she and the other guest teachers somehow meet you exactly where you are. And it's not just a dance studio. It's becoming a real hub for our community -- a place to connect, move, laugh, and let loose. I've met so many wonderful people here, and every class feels like a little celebration. Please join me in supporting this community gem!

Different age ranges and body types, making it all the more better to show that anyone can do it. What an amazing environment the instructors here provide. I definitely recommend to any one of any exercise level!!

Hopefully she likes it because she is very quiet and shy . I was recommended by family and friends and so far so good!

For the younger ages, parents are not allowed to be in the room to avoid distraction. Once in a while they will let the parents in to observe the last 15 minutes of class. The first time I was able to observe, my daughter was very distracted with all the parents watching. Makes sense why parents should not be present. The second time I was able to observe, my daughter was more used to the routine and did a whole lot better. For Mother's Day, they allowed the moms to take the class with the students. That was super cute Both owners have been super nice. You can tell they love what they do. I email Them when I have questions and they respond right away. I wouldn't take my daughter anywhere else.

I have never seen or heard of any incidents of "laying hands", as reported by another yelper, in all of the years my daughter has been studying there. The owner and her staff go above and beyond to keep the children safe while in their care for classes.

This is one of the few places I found to host classes for kids starting at age 3. The instructor is extremely patient while dealing with a class full of wild kids and makes time to work with each child individually. The facility consists of two separate rooms for classes. There is one larger room with tiered seating for guests that I believe they hold recitals in. There are bathrooms on site and the facilities are kept clean. I have seen all ranges of ages in classes and have also seen singing lessons. If alternate class times on Saturdays were added for the younger kids it would be five stars! It's difficult to get a run down 3 year old to focus after a full day around dinner time.

As a venue: spacious area with a large room for tables for refreshments during intermission. A medium-sized stage area with no disabled seating but they allow wheelchairs to sit in front of the graduated seating section (so in front of the first row). Personnel/hosting staff: Employees (or volunteers?) are happy and helpful. If you are disabled or are with someone, they acknowledge and help you right away frm the time you arrive until they see you out the door when the performance is over. Programs are right on time. Place is clean. As an entertainment/arts program: Well-chosen material that can be appreciated by any age group and is not too long for younger audience members. I enjoyed my first time at SpectorDance for their holiday show and auction. I felt welcomed into what seemed to be a supportive group of people who are all probably parents of the performers. People from the organizing team introduced themselves. The auction was one of the most approachable in the area and I felt appreciated when I bid on something. Plenty of parking in their private lot. My first time out here won't be my last. I'm bookmarking their site so I can know when performances come up.
