From the owner: DANCE WORKS is a local dance studio.

You can dance no matter how old, from 18 months up to 99 years! I believe with patience, determination and hard work each student has the potential to achieve far beyond his or her dreams. Through my teaching I will always do my best to pass on my love of the arts to the future generations.

Excellent customer service in terms of attentiveness and time spent during shoe fitting…read more Great selection of kids' dancewear. I went in for dance sneakers. They carry one black Bloch version, which my friends really like. Reasonable pricing.

We have had only great experiences in dealing with Maureen and her staff. The classes are well…read moreorganized and well taught. The space is not modern but it's highly functional for a dance school. This school has served us well over many years and all without costing us a fortune. It's located in a business area and easy to find.

She has an incredibly positive attitude, listens well, and will meet you at whatever level you are at for teaching! It has been an exceptionally enjoyable experience, and both of us are looking forward to continuing lessons!

Ms Heidi, Ms Adelle, and Mr William are wonderful teachers. Their training and artistry gave my…read moreclassmates and I a solid technical base for our professional dance careers. Ms Heidi's Nutcracker productions are beloved by dancers and audiences alike!

My daughter started over six years ago with VRB by taking a summer camp. She loved it! Ms. Adelle…read moreis fabulous with kids!! Now my daughter is on pointe, and takes classes five days a week. There is no where else she'd rather be! Excellent ballet instruction by Ms. Adelle and Ms. Heidi. She also takes tap, jazz, and contemporary. My daughter would take more classes like hip hop and lyrical if we had more time. This is the only dance studio in Williamsburg that presents a professional performance of the Nutcracker Ballet in Williamsburg. It is wonderful. The studio also has a June recital, and does many community performances both during Nutcracker season and during June recital time. This studio hasn't done competitive dancing at least since my daughter has been here - for that I am very thankful! The dancers as well as the parents are all very friendly and supportive, it's just a good group of folks to be around!

Ownership changed about a year ago, since then communication with parents from the owner has been…read morevery lacking and when she does communicate it comes off as rude. Concern from the owner does not appear to be about the customers/ kids but about money. The owner owns another studio in Richmond along with the two Power House Dance studios and she doesn't seem to be able to keep up with the necessary tasks of running a service based business. Parents consistently are given excuses as to why things are subpar while still not answering legitimate questions. Also, you will be nickle and dimed for everything they can get from you. We have been a part of other studios in the past and I can say that this one is run very poorly. Strongly recommend going elsewhere.

When we moved to the Prince George area I called around to many schools in the area. Jennifer was…read morethe first to call me back. The kids here enjoy a bully free zone. They are able to dance and never worry about being bullied. The instructors here are all great.

This place is a nightmare- their competition dancers are fine, but the rest they couldn't care less…read moreabout. Their tap classes are a joke, utilizing the same moves from Kinderdance to advanced. Their gymnastics classes don't even get to flips, just cartwheels, and their jazz is average. Ballet is good. Her business is kept afloat by a few key families which you'll notice during their end of year recital because they are in 6-8 dances a piece. There is a heavy focus on costumes, props, and wandering around the stage rather than ACTUAL dancing, and their recital gets very boring very quickly. But that's just the icing on the cake- don't plan to use your card to pay for anything besides the classes- almost everything is cash only. Their teachers play favorites, and those that didn't departed abruptly in the middle of the year surrounding a few rumors that were less than kind about the owner. Regardless as to the truth of said rumors, it is quite obvious that there is a LOT of drama going on and it is significantly, (and detrimentally), affecting her business. There are several costs at various times that crop up out of nowhere- can't be in the parade unless the OUTER layer says Dance Kraze, have to wear the right colored tights (and if your class has two outfits, it's different colors for each), super expensive & poor quality pictures, etc etc. The end of the season is BRUTAL in unexpected expenses, so just be prepared. It's also run through her friends and family, which probably has a lot to do with the expense. With perhaps one exception (Thank you Jason), her event staff is indescribably rude and disrespectful, in addition to being inconsistent. Gods forbid you say anything about it, because they will get in your face and try to power play you to get you to cower in submission and retreat. Or ignore you. Or try to walk through you. Not a place I will ever be returning to. And yet the biggest problem is the fact that the recital was held in a school with LIVE CAMERAS and there were girls CHANGING IN THE HALLWAYS WHO WERE NOT TOLD, DESPITE the fact that the dance studio was informed. Well beyond acceptable to me. We will most DEFINITELY not be returning next year.

I've taken classes here & rent it for my own classes. It's pretty spacious & affordable. The space…read morecan be split into different sections for private lessons and a class, though if music is playing it could be a little loud. Love the setup, and all the disco/lights make it fun. Plus, Catherine and Rock are the nicest!

My friend lead a class here today. She rented out the space. I had a great time! It seems like…read morethere was a divider, so the space could be much bigger if needed. We were a group of about 20 dancers, and while it was packed, we still had our own space. It got hot pretty quickly, but thankfully there were fans that cooled us down. Do you know that smells kind of linger in the small space. It seems like an older building and smells a little like one, but you get used to the smell quickly. Since it's intimate, you can smell other folks too (but that isn't the venue's fault). They have one gender, neutral bathroom. I love that they have a water fountain. They also have plenty of free parking spots outside. It's a pretty casual space. The other side of the dividers seem to have more natural lighting and more mirrors. Our side had a smaller mirror. I had a great time dancing at the studio.

This dance studio is really run right! The owners are very present and involved. Their classes…read moreare run by very good experienced teachers. I love that the classrooms have windows for me to peak in on my daughter. The recital is very well organized and at the end of the year the students are given a charm to collect. They also do professional pictures of the students in their costumes. I hope we will coming to this studio for years to come. A friend of mine also encouraged me to take an adult class and the teacher was awesome! The women were fun and we had a blast!

She kept the class going and was alot of fun to learn from. This was my first time doing a zumba class, and letme tell you.. It was eye openng.. I Moved body parts that I forgot were there for two long hours.. Funny part was the time went so fast I barely noticed.. Just knowing I was sweating bullets and burnng calories at the same time I was in it and determined! This studio was really nice, it had the flashing lits, and loud music booming off the walls.. Loved it! Cant wait for the next one.
