Never in a million years did we think we'd be ballroom dancing on a Friday night with a bunch of…read morestrangers--and actually loving it. But then we met Daria. From the moment we stepped into Fred Astaire, Daria made us feel like we were born to dance (even if we were initially just born to trip over each other's feet). She choreographed our wedding dance to our favorite country song, and somehow managed to turn two left feet into something romantic, graceful, and genuinely us. Every dip and spin she taught was filled with encouragement, laughter, and just the right amount of sass. Daria doesn't just teach you steps--she makes you feel like you're starring in your own version of Dancing with the Stars. She builds your confidence with every compliment, and before you know it, you're dancing like no one's watching... even though everyone totally is at those Friday night parties she convinced us to join (and we're glad she did). We learned our first dance so quickly that she went ahead and taught us a second one-tailored to our strengths. So if you see us out there hustling like it's our job... blame Daria! Fred Astaire is a wonderful studio, but Daria is the reason we'll never forget this experience. She's magic in motion.

Team Building, Leadership, Organization, Time Management, an the list goes on. Dancing and Competition was always fun, exciting and challenging. Julie is a mentor to all of her students and helps them succeed not only in dance but in life. The studio is also among the least costly around. Competition can get expensive but Julie bears that in mind and helps make all the costumes. If you have a son or daughter interested in dance, this studio is a great choice. You will feel like family and miss it when their out. I could go on and on, but by now you get it.

The studio director is extremely professional and understands how to run a studio. At the other studio my daughter attended the dress code and chosen costumes were very skimpy and overall inappropriate. However, at the dance corner all costumes are extremely classy. Music choice as well as choreography are classy and different than everything you see at other studios. The friendly environment and variety of abilities allows for an welcoming atmosphere for any ability, age range,or commitment. I would definitely recommend this studio to anybody from the most experienced dancer to someone just starting.
