My wife and I purchased the "Introductory Package" over the Christmas holiday and just finished the…read moreinstruction last week. So I'll start off by saying the instructor we had was excellent, personable, and made the first few sessions very pleasant. The facility is nice and much larger than I expected based on its location in a smaller strip mall. There are three dance rooms, but the primary room that would be used for intro and private lessons appears to be the main ballroom which has enough room for 5-6 couples to receive instruction at one time. This also means that you could be learning the foxtrot, but the music playing would be for a waltz or other style of dance based on the other clients present. If your uncomfortable having others watch your lessons or needing to avoid other dancers and lessons even during a "private" lesson this is something to consider; however, I didn't think it was a large issue. The introduction teaches you one step of 3-4 dances and gives you some basics to work from going forward which is more than enough to fit the introductory timeframe. At this point you may be wondering what caused my rating to be so negative based on the above. The negative for me came in the after introduction sales pitch. Another instructor/owner/manager took us back to go over their packages and sold a package at ~$800 that included ~45 hours of curriculum. This was split over private lessons, group classes, and weekly "club parties" which you trade/change partners. All of this is fine; however, we have busy weeks and are unable to attend 3x per week or on Thursday's when our group courses would be. We mentioned this to the sales staff and asked about other options, but it appeared they were uninterested in selling anything else. We were told it would be ok if we missed once per week because the main value came from the private lessons, but I am averse to paying for a service I know I'm going to miss 30% of. Still hoping to salvage a portion of the process since we enjoyed ourselves we asked about only private lessons. We were told this was too inconvenient for their instructors, it would be $80 per class, and then they went right back to selling their main package. When we again said this wouldn't work the sales staff rudely close their book and left the room leaving us to say bye to our instructor and leave. TL:DR - If you don't have $800 and 3 free nights per week give this company a pass. They will be rude and dismissive as soon as you don't want that specific service and schedule.

We took wedding dance lessons from D. Jafari and it was amazing. It made it simple and easy to…read morelearn. He managed help me understand the song which we had picked as our wedding song. Taught me to lead some basic patterns to it. Then he proceeded to choreograph a simple yet elegant routine to the song. We opted for 6 lessons but he gave us the option to take one lesson at a time or purchase a group of 4 or 6 lessons and he never once pushed for more. In fact , he told us to start with the 4 because we were short on time, since I like to plan things the last minute. Thank you for your help in choreographing our wedding dance mr jafari of ballroom on Broadway.

The instructor Kristi this morning had zero tolerance and zero patience for my toddler this…read moremorning. Mind you she loves dancing and is all around the house all the time swirling and twirling. We weren't even there but 3 minutes before this ugly spirited woman decided she wasn't gonna tolerate my child. We are of color as well and a Hispanic family before us got kicked out just as quick for being " disruptive " Also, mind you these are classes where it's usually just the one family and the instructor by themselves so it's appalling that children can be disruptive when no one is there. In my opinion, don't offer a program for the younger kids if you get overstimulated and overwhelmed to the point where you're abusing the parents' money and neglecting your due diligence to build children up by teaching the art you claim to love. Be careful parents! You've been warned!
