Back in 1992, I moved from NYC, where I had been teaching dance for 20 years and trained with top…read moreschools like the Joffrey Ballet School, Broadway Dance Center and others. I trained many dancers who turned pro. When I came here, I could not find good schools close to where we moved. I found this school and it was wonderful. My daughter and I took classes there and were very impressed. It was hard to continue because it was a trip from where we lived, and during the weekdays, I was a single mom of 2, due to my husband's work away from home. I opened my own school, locally, and it was successful for 15 years, until I retired from ownership and passed it onto others. I retired, temporarily, from teaching (since 1973) due to bad knees. Once I had them replaced, I called the owner, who is a colleague of mine who had judged for me at my competition, to take some classes to get back to dance. She asked me to also teach. I've been teaching there and am still so impressed with, not only the professionalism, but the moral and ethics, that match mine, that I find are lacking in some schools, I love working there and how she, and the staff, truly care for the well-being of the dancers. Michelle will not abandon her ethics, just to make a parent, or child, happy. Her standards are too high, thank goodness. I am so happy, after the few years I took off from teaching and dancing, to be at this dance school. I love the fact that their annual student demo concert does not charge fees for costumes, or concert fee. Only ticket sales. It is run beautifully, and I love working with professional teachers who think like me and have the background of excellent training, not just as dancers, but as teachers. If you are looking for an ethical school for your child, or yourself, with people who care more about you than what you can bring to them, this is the place. Thanks, Michelle Wurtz, for bringing me on board, in my later years, and giving me back my passion and the joy of teaching, again.

World-class dance instruction. My daughter learns something new every time she goes there. I cannot…read morebelieve how much she has grown since her first few steps in class. The fact that this group has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center and at the Olympics tells me that their instruction and execution is first rate. I will continue to recommend this hidden gem to all of my friends in the area. The low cost for the quality of education my kids have received is amazing. Check them out.

Swing Kat is the BEST!! My husband and I started taking lessons in January 2019 in preparation for…read moreour wedding in August. With the help of group and private lessons, we surprised all of our guests with a sensational dance (that included a bunch of aerials). After our wedding, we continued lessons and will have many years of dancing with swing kat to come. It's a great way to get out and have fun.. even if you're not the best dancer to begin with. All of the instructors are incredible and welcoming. Definitely sign up for a class.. you will not regret it!

This is my favorite dancing venue in the area. I honestly am a little sad no one has reviewed it…read morealready, but am happy that I get to be the first one. What makes this the best place to dance? Hands down it is the friendly people. Everyone is super friendly and will ask you to dance. Even better there are a lot of great dancers here, but even if you are not, don't worry, the advanced dancers are very nice about dancing with you and showing you moves. The owners of this place, Faryl and Bijal are the sweetest people. What they never complain about and what people almost never see is that often they stay for 2-3 hours after the dance to clean up the facilities by themselves. One night I was chatting with Bijal and decided to stay and help clean while continuing our chat. I looked up and it was incredibly late and we were only half done (needless to say, I stayed and finished helping because I couldn't bear thinking about how tired they both must have been). On a happier note, one reason why it takes so long to clean is because the dance floor and venue is HUGE! It is by far the best and biggest dance floor in the area. Some people like it cozy, but I like room to really dance it out and do all my hand and arm motions without hitting anyone. The place is a little old, but has an old world charm to it. The music is always wonderful, but it is a rotating DJ system. This is a great thing, however, because there are multiple people doing the job, you get to experience a variety of music at a multitude of tempos with a myriad of attitudes. The food offered is usually just simple snacks, but on special occasions, they usually have an amazing spread. A lot of times people will bring their favorite dishes and pitch in. As stated earlier it is a very tight community. I really just can not say enough good things about this place. A quick tip: Although closer street parking is available, there is a parking lot on the corner, about half a block away (I hate walking, so I always take a chance I will find something closer hahaha).

Dance One Studios is terrific place to receive a dance education. The facility is absolutely…read moregorgeous, the staff is terrific, and the teachers are fabulous! After 13 years of watching my daughter grow into a BEAUTIFUL, knowledgeable dancer through their guidance, experience, and education, I can honestly say that Dance One Studios of Douglassville, PA has "Raised the Barre" for dance education in Berks County and the surrounding area!

My daughter went there for several weeks in the 4 year old dance class. The instructor was unable…read moreto get my daughters attention and was losing the class as the other children were copying my daughter. After class, the instructor pulled me aside and said if your daughter doesn't do better next week I'm going to have to ask you to leave the class. I was totally embarrassed and ashamed that the instructor said this to me. I told my husband and he said that instructor is a joke with no personality. We put her another dance class and she is doing amazing. The owner did apologize to me when I called to cancel her class as I couldn't bring my daughter to this environment! They would have had years of business from my two kids!!!
