My husband and I decided to take a few dance lessons prior to our May 2023 wedding and realized we…read morewere sleeping on this gorgeous dance studio located conveniently in Wilmington's Independence Mall. After reaching out to discuss the available options, we were directed to consider a group class to learn the basics, followed by private lessons, both of which were a great experience. We initially took a four week group course of Hustle/FoxxyTrot, taught in their larger ballroom. We were initially feeling anxious and self-conscious, but quickly realized that many of the other couples were also beginners, though there were certainly more-skilled participants that were clearly "regulars" at the school. Most in the class signed up with a partner (at a slight discount!), though there were a few individuals who had to partner with each other or the instructor. Generally, we were divided by gender to be taught the initial steps, then came together with our partners to practice while the instructor rotated to offer individual suggestions. Overall, it was hard to learn a ton in four weeks, but we definitely learned a few basic steps that came in handy for our private lessons. After our group class, we signed up for five private lessons taught by Tania, who took the time at our initial class to get to know us and understand the layout of our wedding venue. While our intention initially was to learn a few steps and feel more comfortable on the dance floor, we wound up learning a full, 2-3 minute choreographed dance for our first dance. Though neither of us had much dance experience (and one of us barely understood the concept of a rhythm), Tania guided us with patience and ease, providing encouragement when we needed it and incorporating our feedback and requests to build a routine that we felt comfortable with. To our surprise, we were able to learn and execute our first dance nearly flawlessly, impressing all of our friends and family on our big day. As a thank you / wedding gift, the studio gave us a discount for a future group class --- we're very much looking forward to using it for another group class!

Lessons are aimed at giving you the ability to get out on the floor to have fun no matter what music is playing or how much space there is. It does not matter if you've never done it before - that's why you take lessons:) We were pure beginners when we started, and in a few months we had enough to dance all night at a New Years Eve event. Now it's as much about having a weekly date as it is about improving and picking up new steps.

The cast for these plays are all children and they really put their hearts into these productions. There is something so very special about children watching other children perform. I can tell my little daughter is very inspired by these young performers. The facility is very clean and modern. It isn't the typical location for a theater but it was a good idea to use this space for a small theater where kids can grow in their art and do live performances. In the last year, my daughter and I have seen several live shows including expensive professional ones in Philadelphia. She actually prefers these smaller venues where she can be closer to stage and watch a cast of other kids perform. We spent a lot of money earlier this year to see the Disney Princess concert in Philly and had to deal with getting into the city and paying for parking and she was disappointed. Yesterday I spent a fraction of the price seeing a show at Griffin Theatre and had free parking right in front of the building. We drove over an hour to the Griffin theatre and it was worth it to see my daughter so engaged in the show.
