Forever Dancing is the real thing. If you're looking for a place where you can learn social dancing or take any dance style to a genuinely high level, this is it. It has the seriousness of a real dance school -- the kind where you learn to do things correctly -- but with warmth and a community that makes you feel genuinely welcome. The group and private classes are taught at a high standard to whatever your goals are, which means there's a learning curve at first, but that's actually the point: you get real instruction, and the personalized attention in the group setting means you won't get lost -- you progress quickly, in a supportive environment where both the instructors and your fellow students are genuinely invested in your development. And most importantly, the classes are fun and a safe place to learn. What also sets it apart is the culture. This isn't a place where you show up, take a class, and disappear into the night with nobody particularly invested in whether you learned anything. The other students are warm and welcoming, you actually get to know people, and there's a real cohesion to the community. It has a culture -- something you feel from the first time you walk in. Fabio and Jennifer are true professionals, and that's not something you find everywhere. They bring both serious expertise and a genuine sense of style and warmth to everything they do -- the weekly classes, the dance parties, the performances, the trips. There's a panache to this place that sets it apart. If you want a studio where the atmosphere is welcoming and fun, and the dance instruction is excellent, Forever Dancing delivers on both. It is truly a gem. read more

My husband and I have been taking classes at Forever Dancing Ballroom for almost 2 years and absolutely love it! We started with beginner Salsa group classes and have since moved up to Level 2 Salsa while also trying West Coast Swing and Country Two-Step. We've learned so much and have even used our new dance skills at social events and during our wedding! The husband-and-wife instructors are energetic, welcoming, and make every class fun and engaging. One thing that really stands out is having multiple instructors during class, which allows for more personalized guidance even in a group setting. The studio itself is spacious and welcoming, and their monthly dance parties are always a great time with music, refreshments, and a fun atmosphere to practice different styles. We're so happy to be part of the Forever Dancing Ballroom community and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn to dance in a supportive environment! read more

Chynna worked with my husband and I on our first dance - we did private lessons with her! We met 4-5 times, and by the end we felt totally ready and excited. I thought she was professional, patient, and made the experience fun for us as well. Neither of us have had formal dance experience, but she made learning feel easy with her instructions and feedback. I also feel like she tailored it appropriately to our abilities! Our first dance was one of our favorite parts of our wedding, and Chynna was a big part of that. We also got so many compliments! Thank you Forever Dancing Ballroom! read more

Excellent instruction at Forever Dancing. We have taken lessons at multiple studios and Fabio is by far the best! He has great patience with us as an amateur couple but also has the detail orientation to make our dancing better. If you are looking to just start/try ballroom or improve what you already know, you will have a phenomenal experience here. Great for individual dancer or couples looking to try a hobby together like us. read more

Fabio is great teacher! We take both individual and group classes, and are very happy with both. Very welcoming atmosphere for beginners!

I signed up initially for 10 private lessons for Argentine tango. During the third lesson, I realized that the instructor did not know how to do Argentine tango so I postponed my lessons and went away on a trip when I I wanted to use the remaining seven lessons for salsa. There was a instructor there they the other one go and she was actually very good with salsa, but my initial intent was Argentine tango which at the they did not have available. read more

Fabio and Jennifer are wonderful! They make a great team! Whether private lessons with Fabio or group classes, it's always fun, challenging and yet never overwhelming! Fabio's instructions are clear, he is very positive, even I didn't do my homework The studio is beautiful with lots of mirrors, always maintained clean! They teach everything: Ballroom smooth, rhythm and Argentinian tango. They organize workshops and bring the best of the best! I've started in this studio in April 2022 and fully transitioned in May 2023 from another studio where the instructors kept constantly leaving. I can't recommend Forever Dancing enough! read more

Visited Forever Dancing through a work-sponsored event. I have never done any ballroom before, so I figured this would be a good introduction on the company dime. I was either going to be amazing and be able to quit working to pursue a dance career or I was going to fall flatly on my face. Turns out, I was somewhere in the middle. The husband and wife duo that own this family business made the salsa lesson very beginner friendly, teaching us how to count and step to the beat. Salsa dancing is very intricate and loose, but they managed to teach in an "orderly" fashion that novices could follow. While I won't be leaving my job to become a certified salsa dancer, I feel like I could find my way during a salsa song. Definitely recommend this studio if you're a beginner prepping for a wedding or wanting to pick up a new hobby. read more

Fabio was wonderful in helping us with our first dance for our wedding. We purchased the special package that this studio offers for wedding dance lessons, and we are so glad we did. We chose "Fly me to the Moon" by Frank Sinatra, and Fabio gave us some simple choreography to really make this dance special. We had a lot of fun working on the dance, and he is a great teacher! read more

Fabio and his wife Jen are amazing !!! They run the studio well from a business perspective .Their pricing is reasonable and Fabio as an instructor and professional dancer himself is magnificent !! In the time Ive been there I have found myself to be the most improved since I started ballroom. I plan to be their student for many years to come !!! read more

Fabio and the Studio were fantastic!!! We booked private dance lessons for our wedding. I wanted to work with someone who could take our 1st dance song and come up with a whole choreographed routine. And that is exactly what Fabio did. He even had the extra challenge of teaching my husband how to dance in general. But Fabio was seamless in brining both my husband and mine level of dance experience into a dance that I was proud of. Our wedding day was perfect and we stunned all our guest with our 1st dance thanks to Fabio. read more

Excellent instructors! The environment is very welcoming and friendly. Anyone can learn to dance here with a little practice.

Fabio took us from zero classical dancing experience to nailing our first dance. He gave us clear and honest direction, and constant motivation. I recommend Fabio to any couple! read more

First class studio with very friendly owners and instructors. Fabio is an incredibly talented dancer and an amazing teacher. His attention to technical perfection and beauty has definitely raised my Tango skills and confidence to a whole new level and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Forevever Dancing Ballroom. read more

My husband and I worked with dance instructor Nate over the course of 5 lessons for our surprise samba performance at our destination wedding in Maui last August! We first discovered this place through Groupon and scored a reasonable deal for 5 lessons. I'm so glad that we found out about this place as my husband and I are huge Dancing with the Stars fans. We're geeky politicos and wanted to do something that would shock our wedding guests and knock their socks off. A surprise samba complete with hip shaking and shimmy'ing to Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca" was just the answer! The dance studio itself is clean, bright and spacious. We would share the studio with one or two other couples also taking lessons or practicing, but it did not interfere with our lesson. Nate was an excellent instructor! He was patient and encouraging, especially since I have two left feet, and my husband would get frustrated at times. I admit I can get a bit controlling when it comes to learning new things and Nate was able to work with that. He seems to have a good read on his students and would subtly take control of the situation. Nate was diligent about recording what he taught us during each lesson and these notes were so helpful to us when we'd practice at home and after our lessons were all over. He worked with us both as a pair and individually when he saw the need for improvement. Working with Nate made us feel comfortable and we always remembered that this was about having fun! The other instructors and staff were very friendly and encouraging, as well! I really appreciated hearing from the pros themselves that we were doing a great job! The studio offers workshops and classes...a great way to keep new students involved and constantly dancing. The end result? My husband and I were a HIT! We constantly practiced after our lessons with Nate were over...even in our wedding suite at the hotel in Maui! Sure enough, our guests were SHOCKED with our performance and we received lots of cheer and applause! My husband and I will always be appreciative to Nate and Forever Dancing for making these two uptight, serious politicos stars on the ballroom dance floor! :) Keep on dancing! read more

Found this place when I bought a Groupon on impulse. It included six 20 minute private dance lessons, a group lesson, and a dance party. The private lessons are grouped together and they are strict about scheduling and cancelations for the Groupon. Scheduling is done via e-mail through Jennifer. I ultimately had two long private lessons which worked perfectly for me. I enjoyed the lessons very much and found my instructor, Nick, to be a great teacher: Incremental points were added as we progressed through the Waltz, Rumba, and Swing. I needed to brush up and felt confident by the end of private lessons. We also covered some Latin dance. I enjoyed it so much that I signed up for more private lessons. Group lesson was done by Fabio and also very professional- the time flew. The dance Party is the first and third Saturday. I have not done that yet. They had a dance show this pst weekend which was well attended and entertaining. Next one is in December. Parking is super easy. I am afraid I am addicted now... read more

Anu was a wonderful instructor!! We took private lessons at Forever Dancing to learn to dance for our wedding. We are new to the world of ballroom dance and Anu took the time to make the experience fun and easy to learn. She taught us how to ballroom dance and put together a choreographed dance routine to wow our friends and family. Would definitely recommend Forever Dancing for any dancing needs! read more

Instructors are great, very kind helpful but customer service is terrible! The issue is with the main receptionist woman. Even when they make scheduling errors they will not own up to there mistakes and would rather fight you than try to work out a solution. This makes it very difficult to work with them so would not recommend. read more

Loved the lessons and atmosphere. Anu is such a great instructor and her lessons gave us the highlight of our wedding!

My husband and I took private dance lessons prior to our wedding to prepare for our first dance. Chynna was our dance instructor and did a wonderful job teaching us dance styles, moves, and technique. We started out with a 5 class package but ended up going to the 10 class package which we were very happy with. It allowed our final 2 classes to be repetitive practice and fine tuning technique. The first dance was what we were both most nervous about on our wedding day so Forever Dancing Ballroom 100000% made us more confident - some of our family and friends even said they thought they were watching "Dancing with the Stars". We'd recommend this to other couples preparing for their first dance and would go back ourselves to learn other dances. read more

My husband and I took the 5-class package two months before our wedding. We had Anu as our instructor. It was great! We were both beginners with no real experience. A typical wedding dance is 2-3 minutes, with 2 minutes perfect for beginners. We chose to do a waltz to Fascination (by 101 Strings Orchestra). We took the 5 lessons and then practiced the choreography up to our wedding. It was fun and turned out great! Thanks, Anu!! read more

Enzo is an amazing instructor. We took private lessons with Enzo for our wedding dance. He designed a very energetic and romantic choreography to Frank Sinatra's Fly Me to the Moon. Throughout the lessons, he was extremely positive, patient and encouraging to us. We very much look forward to doing more lessons with him later. Forever Dancing is also such an awesome place to learn ballroom dance. My fiancé and I first took group salsa lessons, which was a lot of fun. They also have great showcases on different types of dances, and dance parties on weekends to practice. I highly recommend this studio for ballroom aficionados and beginners. read more

Found Forever Dancing thru a Groupon for private wedding dance lessons and were so glad we did! The staff was super friendly and our instructor, Kat, was awesome. Without dance experience, stepping into a studio can be intimidating but everyone made us feel comfortable right away. We learned so much more than we thought we could have in just 5 lessons and had a lot of fun doing it! HIGHLY recommend Forever Dancing (esp. Kat as an instructor) to anyone! read more

We decided to get private dance lessons to get better at salsa dancing, and Forever Dancing didn't disappoint. Our instructor was Nick and we took five 45 min sessions with him. Nick was great! He was so patient with us, and explained the dance moves/steps in a way that was easy for us to understand. Not only did he spend time teaching us some salsa, but he threw in some bachata and then took some time to help us work on our hip movements and rhythm. The studio is well lit and clean, and the service is great. One small thing that we wished had been a little different was our last class. There was another couple in a smaller room with us doing a flamenco lesson, so we barely got to practice with music so we wouldn't disturb them. Nevertheless, the remainder of the lessons were amazing and I highly recommend Forever Dancing! We plan on signing up for more classes soon. Thanks Nick! read more

I LOVE dancing here! Everyone is so friendly and hospitable- Fabio and Jennifer really know how to take care of their students. This studio is designed with you in mind! I would definitely recommend Forever Dancing for privates, groups, and parties because of the community of dancers and the positive learning atmosphere. read more

i would have preferred different classes, but their teachers were at least competent. maybe if they changed their class schedule I'd give the an extra star. nice people read more

My son and I just completed a 10 lesson wedding package with Fabio, and are thrilled with the results. We had no previous dancing experience but now feel confident and excited about dancing at his upcoming wedding. Fabio choreographed an elegant yet fun dance for the song we chose. Fabio is an excellent instructor and the large studio is bright and inviting. I highly recommend. read more

My fiancé and I took lessons at Forever Dancing leading up to our wedding, and we didn't want to stop when the wedding was over. Nick is fantastic; the staff is friendly and encouraging; and it's overall a perfect environment for a couple that doesn't have a ton of experience dancing (or for those who do!). Highly recommend. read more

Forever Dancing is terrific. Fabio is patient, positive, supportive and honest in a constructive way. Jennifer and the rest of the team are a joy to work with and are always constructive. I think what makes Forever Dancing special is the sense of community that the regulars or member seem to have. There is a cadre of customers who enjoy dancing, put on shows, participate in dance parties, dance with each other and genuinely support each other. It's nice! So, if you want a little exercise, want to join a group of supportive friends of all ages, or just want to be a better dancer, well then ... join Forever Dancing. Go to the dance parties, and take a few lessons. read more

Fabio is wonderful! Don't look anywhere else for your dancing instruction. I took private lessons with my mother and my fiance in preparation for my wedding. We all went in as complete novices and came out as dancers. Everyone at the wedding was beyond impressed. Do yourself a favor and go to Forever Dancing! read more

We worked with Fabio to ensure our first dance was amazing. He is absolutely wonderful to work with. When our wedding was postponed from 2020 and we didn't enter the studio for a year, Fabio happily welcomed us back to finish our lessons in time for our 2021 wedding. He was able to create a dance for us that was within our dancing skills but also with some wow factor that our family and friends would love. read more

My husband and I took class for our wedding first dance here. Nick was very helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed the classes. Great place! read more

I started taking lessons a year ago and had thought I had 'two left feet,' however the clear and patient instruction from Fabio and the team has really helped me progress. I've enjoyed this activity much more than I had hoped and encourage my friends to sign up for lessons here. read more

I came to this venue for the first time tonight for a friends birthday. Customer service was impeccable and phenomenal. They helped us in the very beginning and made sure we were well taken care of the entire tonight. If you want to have an event with a dance floor, I highly recommend this place. Please ask for Fabio because he is amazing and will make sure your event is a success! read more

I have been coming for group dance classes for the past five weeks and can't say enough great things about forever dancing. I always have a blast, all of the instructors are fantastic, and best of all, my dancing is improving! Jennifer and Fabio have given me tips that no dance instructor has ever given me in the past that have completely changed my technique for the better. Class prices are incredibly affordable.. of course money is important but I get the sense that the owners are in this for the love of dance first and foremost. COVID precautions are taken seriously and I feel very safe attending each class. Can't recommend enough, especially for anyone looking to get out and have fun during the pandemic! read more

Wonderful experience with Fabio! Dont look anywhere else for your dancing instruction. I went in as a complete novice and Fabio prepared me for 2 wedding dances. read more

Love Forever Dancing...just finished my private lesson and 2 group classes plus the ballroom dance practice time on Friday nights! I am in dance heaven, so I decided to write this... I take private lessons there regularly and just got a group class membership special for $99/month to support my learning and practice. The membership allows me to take any class I want.... Prices are fair. (I used to attend other dance school in alexandria and the prices were much highter) Here are the dances I am currently studying: Argentine Tango . Bolero . Cha Cha . Foxtrot . Hustle . Jive . Mambo . Paso Doble . Quickstep . Rumba . Salsa . Samba . Swing . Tango . Viennese Waltz . Waltz . I know it is a lot, but I have been doing this for while. Next month, I will participate in a national dancespot competition. I feel more prepared than I have ever been! My husband also is fond of Forever Dancing, he takes lessons and dance socially there on Saturdays. My son is part of the Special Programs for kids, and now he can dance with me. :-) The School is beautiful with a huge floating floor, open space, mirror etc. They also offer Flamenco, Ballet and Aerial Silks. I cannot think of anywhere better for anybody learn to dance. Forever Dancing Ballroom has brought a lot to me and my family. They have great people, excellent instructors and fair prices. It is so much fun! read more

It is unfortunate that I must write this negative review as I take pride in supporting small businesses and more importantly the thriving arts community. On Saturday, February 8, my award-winning company secured Forever Dancing Ballroom for our most popular heels dance class. Prior to our event, we scheduled a walkthrough with the owner and were pleased with the space. Our event was scheduled for 7:00 pm. We advised our clients that we will start promptly at 7:00 pm. We take pride in displaying effective time management. We are particularly respectful of our client's time. This was a two-hour event. We were not able to enter the facility until 6:45 pm. We were not told this during the walk through. Both my dance partner and I had props and material for the event. We were instructed by the owners to enter the facility through the back door. Transporting our luggage through the back door took an extra 10 minutes. By the time we were granted entry into the facility through the back-door entry with our bags being transported it was 7:00 p.m. Our clients started entering the building by 7:00 p.m. My worst nightmare came true. Our event was delayed from starting on time due to an issue beyond our control. The second issue was the music. The speaker adapter provided by the owners did not work on both of our phones. We had three phones available for usage. Unfortunately, the stereo was not a Bluetooth. My dance partner went and got the owner and one song played on the speaker, but the entire soundtrack did not. After the first song played, the speaker stopped playing the music in rotation and was just playing from my phone. I immediately reported the technological issue to the owner, and he replied, "She fixed it." My response was the music is not working. We spent an additional 10 minutes tackling the music issue and by the time we temporarily addressed the issue it was 7:15 p.m. We wasted a total of thirty minutes with a total of 15 minutes just trying to get into the building. An additional ten minutes was wasted in dealing with the technology. Another five minutes was wasted with the owner asking me for a credit card just in case there are damages. This request was not discussed at our walk through. I was blindsided and not comfortable providing a credit card without prior knowledge after paying in full online. At this point, our whole entire production was delayed. I was furious as a business owner who is efficient with time management. I was utterly livid, but I had to put on a brave face, be professional, and think fast on my feet immediately after the trouble surfaced. I could let my clients see the behind the scenes difficulty. This was intended to be a fun, rewarding experience of value for them. Our jobs are to have them walk away expressing that they truly benefited from the experience. I just want to be very clear, for artists who require technology and music to perform, if the audio quality is not right, the whole production is a failure. The speaker and adapter failed on us the whole night. We had to enlist a client to help us control our music track because the adapter was faulty. It was mind boggling. I could not believe that this was happening. Considering that we are professionals, the show went on. We tried not to miss a beat. We clearly did not want to show that there were technological issues. Finally, we did not want our clients to see our frustration . Our entire class was delayed from start to finish. Five minutes prior to the event end at 8:55 pm, the owner came to the window of the door and pointing his finger at the time on the clock. He waited at the door like a creepy peeping Tom until 9:00 p.m. I was APPALLED. I had never experienced this. At this moment, I felt like a prisoner who was in a cell and the prison guard was guarding the door. He treated us like we were thugs. Clearly there was a racial undertone and we were racially profiled. At 9:00 p.m. he came into the room and stood there until we all left. The ladies were rushed out. There was no conclusion for our event. There was no recap. There were no pictures taken. We were so rushed that we could not start or begin our program with an intro and conclusion with the excellence that we normally provide our clients. The customer service was deplorable. Would we have been treated like this - if we were White? Our client base are all business professionals, educators, lawyers, doctors, government officials, and business owners - we did not just come off of the street to be treated this way. I will never refer anyone or business, particularly a women owned business of color to this place. There is no way that they can fix this. read more

I am a professional dancer--contemporary dance, improvisation, history, and dance-making. I have taught dance in universities and community schools for many years. I studied ballroom dancing many years ago and had a longing to return to ballroom dancing and learn more. I also wanted to support a local business in the dance community and I have found Forever Dancing Ballroom to be a treasure. Fabio is an amazing and gifted teacher. He is excellent in communicating both the technique and the spirit of each of the dances with passion and depth. Jennifer is attentive and thorough. She has provided great support answering questions and helping me prepare for competition. Fabio and Jennifer are a superior team of educators and are just plain nice people. Dancing is always fun when you get to do it with kind, fun, and awesome people! read more

My husband and I took three private lessons with Nick to prepare for our first dance at our wedding. Nick and the staff at Forever Dancing were friendly, professional, and patient. My husband and I don't know anything about ballroom dancing, and we came away from the lessons with a polished dance that we will forever remember. Unlike other ballroom dancing studios, Forever Dancing doesn't try to pressure you to buy a bunch of classes or packages. They understood that we have busy schedules and were able to teach us the basics as well as some "fun" turns in three lessons. I would recommend Forever Dancing to any couples trying to put together a fun and polished wedding dance! read more
