They expected us, greeted up by name and provided of with a very helpful folder of information on how to become apart of it. Even if we don't end up signing up long-term, I still would very much recommend this studio for you and your children to learn and enjoy

My daughter's confidence and dance technique has improved tremendously since joining Movement Haven. They offer fun adult classes as well.

Overall, I like Crystal Ballroom a lot! The pricing is clear on their website, and the schedule is…read moreeasy to find. Group classes spend too much time changing partners. They make us change partners after dancing for just a couple measures. I do like that you know what to expect in the course when you sign up, and the pricing is very reasonable. The instructors and clientele also are super friendly at the dance parties. They really do a good job making sure everyone has the chance to get onto the dance floor. One problem I had with private lessons is that we had to share the ballroom with other lessons or couples practicing, so we also had to share the music. Every other song or so is something we're not even dancing. I think it would be easier to improve hearing a foxtrot as we dance a foxtrot. For the cost of a private lesson, I think we should be able to hear music that corresponds to what we're actually doing.

One word: AMAZING! My wife and I attended a Valentine's Day…read moreParty at the studio. Neither one of us a dancers, but have always wanted the experience. This party was PERFECT! We met wonderful people, learned some basic dance techniques, and wore-out the dance floor! As if that were not enough, Daniel Tackett got on stage, and belted out some familiar songs, while accompanied by a live band. Seriously, the "Rat Pack" could not do better! Also, a special thank you to Hunter and Simona, for being the BEST teachers--EVER! Columbus Northwest Dance Studio has a repeat customer with me!

I've experienced most of the dance studios in the Columbus area, and I believe Dance Plus provides…read morethe best and highest quality lessons available. Their lead instructor, Emily, is one of the few female instructors in the area who has the credentials to compete at the professional open level and can compete with student partners in all four ballroom styles. But what makes Emily truly unique among the local instructors is that she's just as accomplished with club dances like salsa, bachata, and west coast swing, and can even teach dances that are harder to come by such as Argentine tango, kizomba, and urban kiz (the best dance, of course ;P). Basically, Emily is the most credentialed and well-rounded dance instructor in the area, and whatever your dance goals may be, she can at least get you started in the right direction.

We were introduced to Fred Astaire via a Yelp Event with Dirty Franks…read more We did an intro session with an instructor to dip our feet in (haha) and signed up for more lessons afterwards! Caveat: I had danced prior (at another studio, YEARS ago downtown) - this was my date's intro to dancing. The lessons are great - you're not overwhelmed, they work on establishing the basics with you so you have a solid foundation before you start on the deeper aspects. The dances - from "social foundations" to their parties - are a great mix, old and young, all levels out on the dance floor. They are ALL friendly and supportive, making sure you are learning AND having fun doing so! No matter how bad a day at work I have (mental and spiritual drain is real) - when I step in to the studio, they put on some music, and you can lose yourself focusing on dancing. If you want to learn? Seeking a good outing that is some nice exercise and working on movement? It's absolutely worth it.

Can't imagine my family's life without them. We have three generations dancing together within a matter of months. My son, his daughter and I are enjoying doing this as a family ! There are so many opportunities from learning ballroom dancing or improving to preparing that special dance for your wedding! Not to mention, there are now Kid's and Adult Ballet classes. So many benefits from Social, Emotional, Physical not to leave out how much fun it is to dance! Literally cannot imagine my life without dance. Why not sign up for a free private lesson? What do you have to lose? Better yet, what might you gain?

Thought of sharing mine and my friends' experience at this place which might be useful for others…read more Gave it a try as it was heavily promoted everywhere and couldn't find any other event happening that time. The instructor or the host was creepy, aggressive and unprofessional. He tried to show off all the time and take advantage of the folks who are new to dancing which made us uncomfortable. We haven't come across any instructor with this type of qualities. Regarding the dance floor it was tiny and had several patches. We love dancing and support this type of events but at the same time we have to speak up if we observe something weird.

$10 cover on Saturdays, lots of places to sit, and likely safe to leave your jacket and bag…read more It wasn't super crowded and there is a large dance area with lots of mirrors. So if you are looking for a salsa club to hide and not be seen, this isin't it. Everyone was very kind and eager to help teach newbies, but you have a lot of space and everyone can see you. It was a very nice group of patrons and I like that I did not feel suffocated inside. They did some fun group line dances etc. I really loved those and they were a lot of fun. My big qualm is that they will not serve you tap water. Due to medical reasons I can't drink alcohol or sodas so I am always the DD and I was going to have to pay $2 for a bottle of water after paying a $10 cover. Not happening. If I come again I would bring my own water bottle.

I'm afraid I don't take classes here (well, not yet anyways), but I have been to a couple of the…read more"haflas" here, and I plan to keep coming! It's about this I'm writing this review. Every third Saturday of the month, Habeeba hosts a hafla (dance party). Doors typically open around 7:30, but the show doesn't start until at least 8:00, and often later. How late it runs depends on the number of dancers, but 10:30~11:00 is typical, and it could be later. Admission is $10 at the door with all ages welcome. Indeed, there are often a bunch of little kids running around (and sometimes on to the dance floor...). The atmosphere is fun, positive, and upbeat, and dancers of all levels are welcome. I myself only started dancing in June so I haven't performed yet, but I think I might soon. Anyways, the typical hafla consists of various local (and visiting) performers doing a routine either solo or in groups. Most of the dancers are from Habeeba's school, but anyone is welcome. You don't need to be a professional or even have a fancy costume - sometimes performers dance to random songs just to show off some special technique, and you see everything from elaborate galabeya to flared dance pants with a tied top and a flashy hip scarf. Many of the dancers do perform professionally at local restaurants and events, so the quality of the performance is always pretty high. You can also learn a lot from watching the performers... and interacting with them. Throughout the evening, the dancers will take a break and there will be "free dancing". Basically, anyone who wants can come out on the dance floor to practice their moves, get advice from fellow dancers, and use the wide floor and mirrors to do a little perfecting of their moves. There are also group dances. This might be an actual tribal dance, a circle dance, or even a line dance. Anyone can join in, whether they take lessons of any sort or not, and it's a lot of fun. There is also "free" food in the kitchen area, including a lot of different wines, sodas, and snack foods. Some times there are homemade cupcakes or treats too. Habeeba also holds workshops and special events, often right before or in tandem with the hafla; watch the website, I guess, for information. Overall, it's a great way to spend a Saturday night, and for $10, a very good value given the show and snacks.
