Don't even get me started on the Fixer--Veronica Criscione, best Rhythm/Latin Coach personified. She is top notch, professional, caring and kind. Learning to do things the right way, executing proper technique to avoid injuries while having fun too are of utmost importance to me. Anything less than that is simply a waste of time, energy and hard earned money. Whether you're dancing for exercise, socialization, upcoming event or competition, Capital Ballroom is the place. Way more fun and cheaper than going to the gym!

There is also a lot of camraderie amongst the various dance instructors. Lots of love, dance, and dance love here, really it doesn't get better than that! We've met and taken from many dance champions here over the years.

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!

Princess Mhoon Dance Institute is one of the best experiences of my daughter's life!

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

There's minimal parking, and you might find parking on the street as well. I took a beginner silks class and an intermediate lyra class. It seemed like our teachers were subs, and I would have been curious to experience a class by the regular teachers (I was only passing through town). Rigging appeared safe, but it was only a cursory look as I felt comfortable with the tricks we were working in class. I greatly enjoyed the other aerialists who were welcoming and fun.

We don't live in Gaithersburg, but it's worth the drive, and it's a long drive! I also love the camps, that are infused with all of the positive vibes mentioned above.

There's plenty of room to dance (unlike Zumba classes at gyms that pack in more than they can accommodate). I took off one star just for the volume - wish the music could be toned down a tad, though it's no louder than any other class in the country. This is by far the most cost effective and friendly dance studio in town.
