I didn't realize that these were part of ballroom dancing until I arrived. I found this place via MeetUp, and they had offered to introduce me to their class. And, knowing me, I love trying new things, so I couldn't help but jump on the offer! To make things even more fun, I proposed this to a first date, and *spoiler alert* he is still part of my life, haha. So, what does that mean? This place has some magic brewing about. The class: It was about 1 hour long, and I felt completely at home. It was an introductory class where we learned the basics of ballroom dancing. I love how the "leads" have to ask the "followers" out for a dance prior to dancing with them. The whole experience was met with tons of smiles, laughter, and memories. I'm definitely coming back for another class once I figure out my schedule, and I couldn't recommend this place more! They make you feel right at home while ensuring that you have a fantastic time here. I also loved how they teased me about my date, haha. And, yes, he enjoyed it as well! The first time for both of us.

My dad and I took three lessons at Elegant Dancing with Michele to prepare for our father-daughter…read moredance--and we're so glad we did! We both came in with two left feet and weren't aiming for anything elaborate, just something more polished than swaying awkwardly and trying not to step on each other. Michele was fantastic--patient, encouraging, and so much fun to work with. She taught us a few simple steps that completely transformed the experience. Not only did we feel more confident, but we genuinely had a great time during our lessons. We shared a lot of laughs, and she made us feel totally at ease. Thanks to Michele and Elegant Dancing, our moment on the dance floor felt natural and memorable. Highly recommend to anyone looking to add a special touch to their big day!

Classe Dance Company by Linda Saenz is one of the best places in the area to learn sensual bachata…read more She was trained and certified by the creators of sensual bachata, and I feel so fortunate to be within driving distance of such a skilled instructor. Linda is not afraid to get into the nitty gritty details of technique. She constantly pushes me to do better and improve. Classe is currently located in Tyson's Ballroom, not Oakton. There are Saturday classes, and Sundays are for teams. Make sure to contact Linda if you have a question about placement or commitment--some classes are a progressive series requiring a consistent commitment. Classe is the perfect place for dancers to continue training sensual bachata!

I've inquired about payment of services with the company. Instead of paying me and taking…read moreaccountability they gaslit me and accused and projected on to me of taking advantage of them for work already done. I don't understand how working for someone and then asking for your last check is taking advantage. This is done across the entire country every day by normal organizations. This is why with the help of family I left the company due to the shadiness of their endeavors. From firing every other assistant to not being able pay their studio rent on time, yet buying tickets out to Paris, it is still relatively concerning. Regardless of how a manager thinks a service is done people are usually paid for their work. I don't understand what city, state or country where people work for free unless you are volunteering. In the future maybe telling an employee that you don't have the money to pay them would suffice. In the state of Virginia they are mandated laws that prevent this from happening. There are only 72 hours for an employer to pay an employer when they resign. As of right now these laws are being broken.

My husband and daughter realized the hard way that we were not receiving emails from the school about half way into our second semester when every kid in class was told to wear Halloween costumes and ours was not prepared. We were told it's our fault and not theirs, "must be your spam folder" except neither my husband nor I have anything ever from them except a receipt of payment. We'll once again the school didn't communicate with us that they were going to be closed. I even spoke with the teacher via email the week before. I went through the whole website, and it said nothing about being closed. We structured our holiday weekend around her class and wake her up early to drive the extra distance from Ashburn. The school is NOT worth $325 + a 25 min commute. Will not be returning, but since we were invisible to them to begin with after 2 seasons enrolled, I doubt this feedback will even be recognized.

Some background, I am an awkward soul. We were here earlier than the class time and got to speak to the owner about pole. SHE IS SO KIND, and I love her energy. She said the hardest part about pole is that you have to let go of your inhibitions. Very true. Come with an open mind and you will learn something about yourself. I came in with a Groupon and if you're curious to try it, don't hesitate. It sucks that this place is too far of a commute from my house. Otherwise, I would've liked to come again. My guy friend whom I brought along shared my sentiment so I feel like this would be suitable for anyone - male, female, coming alone or with a companion. Highly recommend.

The check-in person was super welcoming and told me about some of the other dance formats offered there. This dance studio caters to both children and adults. So you will see kids running around, which is ok, but I am not really used to. The class started on time. The instructor had great energy and encouraged us to have fun and do things our own style. I haven't been dancing in a while, so I knew it would be a good challenge for me. I really had a lot of fun. My only surprise is that the classes are only 60 mins. I think they ought to be 70 minutes to include a proper 5 min warm-up and 5-minute cool-down. There wasn't a lot of warming up in the beginning of this particular class. I've taken adult dance classes for years and I am used to something that include some warm-up movements to get the rotating joints going, like neck rolls, shoulder rolls, and hip and lower back movements. The class did include a relaxing cool down with stretching for the lower body and upper body. I plan to take more Hip-Hop style classes. They offer Cardio Hip-Hop, Beginner Hip-Hip and more advanced levels, Sensual Dance, Twerk, Ballet, Shuffle, Street Jazz and a lot more. I plan to try about 5 more formats and sign-up for one class for the summer session. I highly recommend this place!
