I would highly recommend this studio to anyone who is looking to either have a limited number of lessons or who is in it to win it!

Ms. Robin and all the other dance teachers have been so amazingly warm and patient with kids and their routines.

The monthly or quarterly class plan is easy on parents pocket and they do recitals etc. Note- masks are mandatory and they clean up the studio after every session.

She choreographed the perfect first dance for us to the song we selected and was conscious that my husband and I are not professional dancers.

We really enjoyed working with Jasi and the Kaye Lynn Dance Studio and would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Forcing a 10 year old to cry or else I was told I cannot perform, after my mother had paid THOUSANDS or dollars for me to dance. I can recall falling on my head numerous of times right in-front of the teacher, and it wasn't until the end of class when I ran out crying to my mom that the teacher would say " I didn't even know you fell ". Completely unsafe and unprofessional. I could even recall one time in an acro class, I accidentally fell onto the owners niece, and the owner got in my face and screamed at me that I could have " killed her niece "? I was 7 years old.

I immediately felt at ease trying something so brand new to me. The age range is broad, but the community I've built was instantaneous.

Come join us on Monday or Friday evenings. Need to start with baby steps? Sue started a tap basics class on Saturdays. Great for newbies or anyone looking to practice the fundamentals.

Danceology is an awesome, new dance school and ranks highly among the older more established school. My friends have children there and they are all praises, especially when they tell me stories about some of the other places. Danceology is in the same location of a former, reputable dance school. It was that was recently purchased by students of that school and transformed into Danceology. My friends and I all applaud them for making their kids learning something great and pushing their budding talents Now I am no expert, but my fiancee is and she digs it and has been able to tell me that my perception is dead on (YAY ME!). For kids - they can learn everything from ballet to hip-hop. I noticed that the instructor have fun and really know how to deal with all sorts of ages. I believe they are also teacher's in public schools when Danceology is closed, so that probably explains why they can teach so well. For adults they have adult classes, I think Flamenco and Zumba. My mother goes to Zumba 3 times a week - she has NEVER had this level of commitment to anything outside of the house in her life and now can't stop going! LOL. Now she even got my aunt out of the house and THAT is an accomplishment in of itself. I should send Danceology peeps a fruit basket for that achievement haha. It's easy to find, not expensive and run by young and energetic owners, both former students themselves.. I just like the fact that they are organized, offer a lot and rejuvenated a school that was slowly watching its sunset. If you have girls that like or seem to like to dance - definitely give this place a shot. This place is definitely not one of those cookie-cutter type spots. Very cool and I hope they take off (as if they already aren't).

In 2004... Chris and Jon led me to Kaeshi. My guy friends are HANDSOME. Sporty, pretty boys. Chris…read morehappens to look like a handsome version of Brad Pitt and Jon like a handsomer young Paul Newman. Up to that time, my years in NYC were oddly plagued w random men cornering my grad school friends asking to meet me. So, women did not feel comfortable hanging out w me. When Chris, Jon and I bc friends, that attention was dispersed w women swooning for them, and attempts to corner and throw themselves at my friends as we went about the city. The three of us communed; We had jaundiced eyes for that kind of attention. We had enough of mismatched people pursuing us w lots of games, lots of pretending. So any hint of those games were turn offs, and got our scorn and ridicule. We were at the same fork in the road of fed up. So imagine my guy friends, who wouldn't trifle their attention w fevered women, excitedly rushing to tell me all about a woman named Kaeshi, and bellydancing w fire! (It was a presentation at Chris' school that I couldn't make.) Chris was all about the bellydance moves. Jon was all about the fire dancing moves. Both were all about Kaeshi! --And I just came from a medical appointment for childhood trauma symptoms resurfacing in my adult body. The nurse's last words were that I need to do lots of things w my hips. She said lots of dancing would be very good for me. At first Chris and Jon could only remember the name 'Kaeshi'. Lol! They did not know how to spell her name (so I could find her). Eventually, they found the postcard that said 'Bellyqueen'. I never told them I started bellydancing (thanks to them). Bellyqueen has been paradigm shifting. As a dancer, you learn about body illusion, body control, directing attention, commanding a room, pacing yourself, pacing others, and female friendships and mutual support amongst all women (Classes are always open for men to enroll in too, but I only saw the occasional martial arts guy try to stay a scant few minutes in the room w us.) Bellydancing is very therapeutic. It is full of virtues FOR THE DANCER. Of the coolest things that happened w regularity is the male-dominated martial arts class next door will often result in the men crowding our window to watch us, Kaeshi would pause class, nicely address them, then offer that they can watch but they'll have to bellydance too, with us. A smooth lesson in respect and mutuality. Why Bellyqueen in particular? The tone of class is about skills in a light but respectful way. (Outside of class is about the bellydance accessories.) In fact, when I got to intermediate, then advance, I sometimes impulsively dropped in for any class or for back-to-back classes. So I would be without my dance gear, not dressed right, but no matter. I was there for skills. (However one should especially have right attire as a beginner. Helps you see your movements better, at least.) Kaeshi and Irina are excellent bellydancers and teachers. They explain the various movements well, build the skills over the duration of a single class, and the class term. You have traveling steps, isolated moves, and layered moves. You learn some history of the dance within different cultures. The other women in the room are friendly, and openly admire each other. It is not a competitive, back-biting environment. It is supportive and encouraging. My desire for positive friendships with other women started to happen here. Zagareet for each other is always fun. The dance circle at the end was always fun. Bellyqueen's bellydance isn't about performing for others. You repeatedly learn that bellydance is for you. I value what I learned here, so much. I still drop in for a class when I'm in town (I moved away in 2008). I eventually started to pursue Hawaiian Hula and Tahitian dancing when I moved to Hawai'i. (But Hawaiian feels too servile to me, and Tahitian feels too restrictive to me.) When I moved to Houston and resumed formal classes, I was invited to join their troupe two months later. So know, you can acquire a solid foundation of dance skills that go with you for years from Bellyqueen. Lastly, I also had Elisheva and Amar as instructors once in my years w Bellyqueen. I just remember class was still good. I'm always a bit star-struck w Kaeshi and Amar. Very unfortunately, Elisheva passed away.

Thank you so much Kaeshi and all the instructors- you guys made our day and motivated us to continue our belly dancing journey and learn this beautiful, sensual dance!
