Our instructor, Kristina, routinely makes herself available to provide personalized instruction and feedback, whether teaching a private lesson, group class, or even just helping you get past a sticking point at a practice session.

That's Dancing Ballroom is truly a special place!

This is my first yelp review ever and i am writing it at 10 at night after a long day because I…read morethink it is THAT important that everyone know how amazing this dance institute is!!! After hearing of the institute threw several friends whose children attend, I decided to try a week of summer camp for my 6 year old which concluded in a showcase performance. I was absolutely impressed and more so appreciative to have finally found a dance home for my 3 kids! In the last 2 years we have enrolled in at least 4 of the local dance companies looking for a company within which my children can grown and develop REAL skills...not just jumping around for fun. PMDI proves to cultivate talent and drive as well as discipline and skill in a really fun and loving environment. The counselors are not only talented but genuinely care about the kids. I was pleased to find them all calling my daughter by name even though many did not instruct her age group. I have wanted and have now found a community where my kid feel like she is joining a family. It's a place where I know I will get an honest report of behavior as well as progress and talent. They teach discipline and life skills and Dance skills coupled with a love for the arts. its just great. And the test of any dance company, in my opinion, is how the oldest students carry themselves and the level of dance skill they exhibit. The oldest students (12-18) in the showcase demonstrated great command of isolations, choreography, strength and poise leaving me confident that my kids will graduate the company as dancers with audition and presentation and choreography skills not just dance skills. I'm happy!! very happy!

My daughter really enjoyed the dance lessons and the family atmosphere that exists there. I loved the big performance at the end of the season... of course I have the disc.

It's more than worth the money - with her extensive background, it's a steal! My younger daughter is next!

A few months before our wedding, my husband and I came to…read moreMichael with four left feet between us, and Michael not only helped us craft a personal and unique first dance, but also helped us feel completely comfortable while doing so. We just had a blast every single lesson. He gave us options for steps and helped us build a dance we were comfortable with, was interesting, and totally customized to our song. He helped us get so comfortable with the steps and, as we got better, gave us tips to improve even more and flourishes to make the dance a bit more engaging for the audience. Having been a part of many weddings, he's full of helpful tips in general for the wedding, like how to walk on and off after the dance, where my husband should go when we transition to father/daughter dance, and to remember to smile especially during the finale. It definitely shows that he has worked with a lot of couples with their wedding dances, but also has officiated weddings himself, so he has so much helpful knowledge! We had so much fun with Michael and wholeheartedly recommend!

Neither of us have any experience with dancing and were basically planning to do the middle school sway before my husband surprised me with these lessons. Michael was fantastic! He was friendly and easy to schedule with and was always there when we arrived. He was very encouraging - helping us to learn dance moves in small segments so we weren't overwhelmed. He would even record us on our phone so we could practice at home. Very reasonable prices as well. Highly recommend!

My fiance, father, and I went to Arthur Murray yesterday for lessons on dancing at my imminent…read morewedding. This could have been a disaster for many reasons: 1. I'll repeat, it was my fiance, father, and I. Two men and a woman. One of whom is the father of the woman. All of them ballroom dancing! Together. Awkwardness? Methinks inevitable. 2. How do I put this...I am uncoordinated. Not, like, oh-that's-cute-she-occasionally-stumbles-uncoordinated. Like, back-in-high-school-all-my-dance-teachers-talked-to-me-in-very-simple-sentences-because-they-assumed-I-was-intellectually-handicapped uncoordinated. Or like, as-I-type-this, one-of-my-thumbnails-is-bright-red-and-a-toenail-is-black-because-I-am-constantly-mashing-myself-into-things uncoordinated. 3. So are my father and fiance. ...Imagine my radiant thrill, therefore, to report that all 3 of us successfully learned to foxtrot and rumba last night. Our teacher, Sarah, couldn't have been nicer or more funny. The staff was friendly and engaging. The studios were big and clean. Arthur Murray is an international franchise, meaning that there are some corporate-mandated policies that might rub guests the wrong way. Alarm bells enforce strict limits on 45-minute lessons, and I can tell that there's some pressure on employees to sell dance lesson packages. However, I can't begrudge the individuals who worked with us these quirks, since they're clearly beyond their control. Anyone who can teach me to dance in 90 minutes - after 27 years of total ineptitude - is a hero.

It's been a great choice so far, students regardless of age are challenged and handled with professionalism unlike other studios we've come across in our recent past. Although on the higher end, for me the location and sense of family at Misako are what keep us there. I love their offerings for ballet uniforms and shoes as well.

All of the teachers are professional in their dance ability and eagerness to work with children and understand the importance of making dance enjoyable. As a result, my daughter is excited to go to class and stays focused on what is being taught. In addition to ballet, both studios offer classes of several dance styles, for all ages.
