My girls danced at C-Unit and it was a disappointing experience. The atmosphere is much too strict…read moreand intimidating for really young dancers. The owner likes short dancers who are naturals. She is not a believer that hard work can pay off, so she forms a very quick opinion about your child that will never change regardless of how much they improve. The studio is a fortune with little to show for it. You pay all of your classes twice a year but there is pretty much an expense every month. They up charge for costumes - they were 85 dollars a piece. I found that my girls were always told what they couldn't do versus teaching them how to do it. One of my daughters, who was told she was a "bad" dancer, is now on BCC Poms. If I truly had a really talented child, I would not choose C-Unit. They do not have a long track record of getting their dancers onto Broadway, etc. There are other studios in the area that do.

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!

When I come here I feel that everything in the world as it should be, lots of diversity of people coming together to all be the best dancer they can be or just add a little dancing to their lives. The owner Olga has always been so supportive of everyone and their dance goals and is just a really lovely person. The atmosphere is always friendly with everyone getting along and people are very respectful to each other regardless of their level. 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.

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!

He would even record us on our phone so we could practice at home. Very reasonable prices as well. Highly recommend!

While the instructors are knowledgeable, the lack of oversight of young dancers between classes, in break and changing rooms, and generally during downtime borders on malpractice.

Beware: some children are still recovering from the psychological abuse.

I was aiming for the beginner class, although they assessed my level and suggested I was more at the intermediate level, so I went with that. Teachers were polite, welcoming and encouraging! They demonstrated the steps, we practiced, they made slight suggestions and answered questions to make sure we were grasping the material. What I really appreciated is that they did not over explain steps. We covered a lot of material in a class session and it was really straight forward. Then open rueda and social after the class. I am still somewhere between beginner and intermediate, so the open ruedas are still a bit overwhelming, but in time I will feel more comfortable! Highly recommend!
