Many students danced with masks and other precautions in the studio, while classes were also available virtually for families that preferred that. My daughter was in virtual classes and really enjoyed them. The teachers made a point to include the students at home, while also providing instruction in the classroom. The virtual students joined classes at the end of the year and were able to take part in an outdoor recital, it was a wonderful show. My daughter started in this studio at age three, and just completed her final year as a senior. RSDS is a great place to dance.

I just completed my first year at RSDS in an adult tap group. I had previously been at another…read morestudio for 20+ years prior but I moved and it was time to find a new studio. The most important piece for me was finding a studio that offered something beyond beginner tap and a studio that is certified by Dance Master of America-RSDS fit that criteria. The studio rooms are quite spacious and have viewing windows so others can view from the outside throughout the year without being distracting. There is plenty of parking outside and there is an office area where you can pay your tuition or purchase items in their dancer shop. My class was great. Many of my classmates had been dancing together for years and welcomed me with open arms. My instructor was Beth, the owner, she is a wonderful teacher and is really focused on helping dancers with their technique. This studio is a positive space that encourages dancers to learn and grow. I was fortunate to watch the recital (and also participate) and I was blown away by the talent of the dancers and choreographers.

FATPHOBIC DO NOT GO…read moreHERE PERIOD IF YOU FEEL YOU DESERVE RESPECT! I am a ballroom dancer , intermediate level. I dance bachata, salsa, meringue, cumbia and tango. i wanted to meet people so I joined as a single person for a group of lessons. while dancing with a member he grabbed me roughly and shoved me into "place" where he thougut i should be positioned for the song, then yanked me again very roughly. when I approached the teacher about this behavior she completely and totally ignored my concern about THE ASSAULT I EXPERIENCED and she said I need to move to the beginner area IMMEDIATELY in the middle of class! it was humiliating. before this she was giving me so many minor corrections and no one else. she also did not enforce partner rotation which leads to better learning. I sat in my car and cried for 20 minutes before I could safely drive home. i have not been to any studios since this traumatic event. i was the only plus size in the group.

I attended a virtual La Clave Cubana - Salsa Fusion class led by Reinier, as part of a virtual…read moreseries he's teaching at UW. Reinier has great energy (even on Zoom) and the lesson was very easy to follow and good exercise (I didn't expect to sweat at home!). Reinier is a handsome cuban man with good rhythm. He chose fun and upbeat music, too. The many dance moves we learned were very practical (I recognize them from casual salsa nights I've attended in the past - without any lessons). I liked how he went over each move and we practiced at just the right pace -- not too fast or too slow, too challenging or too boring. Even though I had missed the first salsa class, Reinier did a recap at the beginning and it was easy for me to jump right in! I feel like I learned more in this one class than all the casual salsa nights (which usually start with a free lesson) that I've attended before. I'm very excited about attending the next class. Thank you! P.S. I hope everyone can help support this small local business! They offer lots of online classes even during the pandemic! Unlike some other virtual dance/exercise classes I've taken, I didn't feel like I was "missing out" or not learning enough. The energy was good too, even though we were on Zoom!

It is in the depth of the oceans that you find pearls, it is in the depth of the ocean that you find the amazing fauna and flora of the ocean. Gabriela is one of the few who will take you to the depth of Tango. You wont be just learning the steps like a robot learns to dance but you will learn to actually feel tango and to learn to connect with another human being using the language of tango. So if you want to learn few steps and start playing on the floor of tango you can find many instructors. If you really want to understand and feel the depth of tango -- Gabriela is one of the few instructors who can help you do that. Good Luck -- Keep Dancing :)

My friend floated the idea of checking out Tango Tuesdays over at Amber and little did I know how much fun it would be... For the past two months now I've been attending classes with Gabbriela: She is a great teacher with a genuine appreciation and love for the art of Tango. As opposed to learning a set of steps and getting into one's head, the focus of the classes is built on how to connect with one's partner and maintaining a relationship through the dance. Class sizes are relatively small which allows for more focused attention and the people who attend on a regular basis are open and fun. Truly a great environment to learn a new dance.

She starts her classes by asking for your name, pronouns, injuries, and usually some other fun question that gets everyone relaxed. The beginner classes are useful whether you're a true beginner or are a year in, because she give you multiple options of things to work on. The classes are diverse and interesting, and the spirit of inclusion, body positivity, respecting gender identity, and disallowing racist beauty standards make me want to come to class and support her mission statement. Getting into your underwear and writhing around on a pole can be intimidating, but I've felt completely at ease in this space. I look forward to seeing where I am a year from now.

So when I started at Positive Spin three years ago, I was initially intimidated and expected a similar level of intensity. But the vibe here is very different.

I like knowing that whether I am trying to train really hard or just have a more lowkey day, I can always show up and get something out of class. Also the community is the best. Everyone is incredibly supportive and there is always lots of cheering in class.

The front desk staff (Malissa and Sou) are organized, structured, and most important kind and friendly. We get addressed by our names and a warm smile every time we enter the space. Once we had a small issue, and it was acknowleged and addressed immediately. Nothing was swept under the rug, so you can always feel like you're safe and taken care of. I like that it's a community of parents, teachers, staff and dancers. We have a group chat called 'Ballet Moms' where we update each other when the girls are done, need to sign up for things and especially helpful during performance season. It's the main reason why we sign up for so many classes and volunteer more than what's required. Lastly, the instructors are wonderful. We've had Ms. Tatiana, Mr. Romain, Ms. Paulina and Ms. Anna as teachers and all have made a lasting impact!
