Adult class - there're many substituted instructors all the time, so dance and song changed week to…read moreweek (not bi-weekly as said). Instructor is not prepared for the lesson, just thinks what to dance in class. Whatever time says (30 minutes?), you need to warm up, stretching, and water break. So, it is not like going to the gym. The room is really narrow. Classmate changed weekly because no one stay. I was there about or over a year. Some weeks, there's no room to move. Instructor does not really care how you dance or suggest for better posts. You just have to catch up on your own. So, if you are looking for a workout option, it may be about almost 20 dance time. If you are looking for a dance skill improvement, nah. PDE kept my $20 and refused to give my money back. They stopped to reply to my text when I ask to get my over-paid money back. They said the money stays in the account. I went in one Friday. A lady at the table said, "I don't have cash." WHEN WE OPEN UP A BANK ACCOUNT, WE CLOSE THE ACCOUNT. WE GET OUR MONEY BACK. So this place is more special than a bank. They can keep my money and just refuse to give me back. What a developed country is this? I also told them that I wouldn't be able to take lessons anymore over 2 months ahead of time because I don't have time. That is a month more than what they want. (We need to tell them a month before quitting otherwise FEE FEE FEE FEE. What's a MONEY MONEY MONEY sucker.) Then later I remember I have paid more than I had to. I contacted them, and here I am. Nope, did not get it yet. I overpaid because they charge fee if we don't pay in time, so I paid more to prevent the stupid FEE. Now the greedy kept my hard-working money.

We were greeted with a very friendly staff and offered coffee, water before the class began. The instructor was very polite and patient as many of us had 2 left feet. He made it fun and no one felt uncomfortable. We learned three basic steps. My only disappointment is the class was too short. I wanted to keep practicing (much needed) my new skills. Though they did kindly offer us to stay and watch a group event, and take part in their group ball room open dance. We had dinner reservations and had to leave. My girls said during scheduling they weren't told about the group opportunity after. If they knew they may have reserved dinner before the private class so we could have danced/practiced longer. I guess we'll have to see about lessons BTW there was no high pressure sales tactics. Just an overview and encouragement to try classes in the future. Note: The road to the FADS entrance is on the west side of the strip mall because the entrance & parking is behind the strip mall. NOT by Garibaldis. Some GPS apps mistakenly direct you to the front of the strip mall. Don't park there or you'll have to walk around the building to get to their entrance. Have fun!

Since then I have received 4 separate emails from Kelly (owner) harassing me! My husband only went to the studio to drop off costumes because Kelly (owner) sent me two emails saying I needed to return them no later than that date! My husband did not threaten Kelly (owner) at all which we have video proof of, (recording from OUTSIDE of the studio) he said "You can't just threaten people with law suits" referring to her emails.
