My husband and I signed up after our free trial lesson on 8/20/2021…read more We loved the lesson and thought this would be great place to have some fun and some couple time. Due to our schedules we booked our first paid lesson on 8/27/2021 we enjoyed that lesson as well. Booked our second lesson on 9/3/2021 which I had cancel due to traveling issues. I called and left message on 9/2/2021 to reschedule. I never heard back from BallroomX. The following week my husband and I got sick. So our focus was not on our lessons. However on 9/13/2021 BallroomX drafted $393.53 out of our account. Our student enrollment agreement states that the monthly payment starting 9/20/2021. That would mean the first draft was 7 days early. I called and left another message on 9/14/2021 and again on 9/23/2021. No one called me back. On 10/6/2021 the second draft came out of our account again two weeks early. I called on 10/7/2021 and spoke with Anthony who said when he got in front of computer to look up our account he could call me back. No call back again...  Once again I called left another message on 10/8/2021, voicing my frustration and my Intent to cancel my student agreement. About 30mins later I got call however the connection was bad and could not hear what the gentleman was saying. I did hear him say he would call me back. I didn't get a call back. I sent email on 10/8/2021 to cancel our agreement & get a refund. Did not get returned email or call back. At this point BallroomX has showed what kind of money hungry company, with no respect for their students. We want nothing to do this BallroomX

Studio has been an outstanding experience for me from the day I began instruction there. IMHO ALL…read morethe instructors are talented, patient, and genuinely invested in helping each student grow, regardless of experience level and work together to achieve that goal. The atmosphere is welcoming, encouraging, and fun, making every lesson something to look forward to. The studio does an excellent job of balancing professional instruction with a friendly personal feel. Each student is seen and treated as an individual and their curriculum planned accordingly. I've gained confidence, learned, improved my coordination and balance and met wonderful people that I thoroughly enjoy. I highly recommend Fred Astaire Cypress Dance Studio to anyone interested in learning to dance or taking their skills to the next level.

I have so many great things to say about this studio and the people who are a part of it that this…read moreGoogle review would take days to read. So I will do my best to keep it to 10 paragraphs . Tim and Hector are my instructors, and they have been nothing less than pro perfection! Tailoring my lessons to match the goals I want to achieve in dance while keeping it fun at the same time. They don't just teach you steps; they take the time to educate you on the "why" and "how," ensuring you have a strong foundation to help you be your very best at whatever goal you're reaching for. Then there's the rest of the Fred Astaire Cypress team: Elena, the studio manager; Ellie, Magui, Edina, and Barnabas, who are equally as amazing as their counterparts. All of them bring an unbelievable amount of skill and quality of dancing to every student. I guess that's why they are the pros! With that said, it can be so easy to lose that quality, momentum, or high energy with the amount of students they work with one-on-one, the group classes, the long hours to ensure every student receives the same level of time and training, plus their own training they do after hours. The dedication is unmatched. Every single one of them, including Hector and Tim, not once have I seen anyone lose that momentum and energy in the four months I've been coming. You will always walk in to smiling faces, and the instructors are ready, pumped, engaged, and excited to be teaching you. I encourage anyone interested in ballroom to take lessons with this studio. You would be lucky to have any one of these people in your dance journey corner. P.S. All of them have such a good sense of humor, but Ellie, well if you want an especially good laugh she is unmatched. Sorry Tim and Hector

We came to Vault because Jerrica promised to do the solos for my two granddaughters. I guess that…read morewas just to get us to sign up, Jerrica did one or two lessons and then passed them off to underlings. Bait and Switch. The quality and timing (cancellations) of solo practices resulted in us getting them additional outside training. Website home page still has last year's info and links from two years ago. Last minute cancellations and venue changes, with us coming to studio needlessly multiple times. At first performance, while sitting there peacefully waiting for the dances to start, Vault photographer shows up at last minute and wants the space I'm saving for my daughter. I tell her no. She moves our stuff and takes it anyway. Jerrica told my granddaughter she could be in HipHop. Granddaughter was all excited. Then when my granddaughter showed up to practice, Jerrica said she changed her mind. Though first Jerrica said she never said ok, but later admitted it. Granddaughter was very disappointed. Now the season is almost over and we still don't have the jacket we paid for a long time ago. Jerrica said she has it. She's just not ready to give it me. Forget resolving any issues that arise, Jerrica unwilling to address or followup. Jerrica will just say it never happened. It appears, if you add a class it costs more, but if you drop a class you are told it's part of the program and no refund. Update: My granddaughters were dismissed from studio due to this review. How were they informed? By their teammates. How were we informed? By my granddaughters.

All of the instructors are caring, supportive, and willing to go above and beyond to help their students. Although I have left the studio to go to college, I often find myself missing the instructors, my fellow dancers, and often find myself tapping in my living room because I miss dancing. I truly believe any dancer should come to this studio and be apart of this wonderful community. I have made lifelong friends and unforgettable memories at this studio, and was so glad that I was able to stay for as long as I did. Even though I have left the studio, the members of this studio have undoubtably influenced my life for the better.

Our teacher was Sevtlana, We decided to try something new…read moreand this was a choice, we had four lessons Our teacher was amazing, sweet and very knowlagable, encouraging and gave us a lot of tips. No complaints out of her My biggest problem is, that this is one single dance room, one single spot. Size of a small hall. So you are constantly moving avoiding hitting someone. Which is fine and all. Except no one is learning with you, everyone doing something different. Even though your lesson is private, it is only due to the fact that the teacher is teaching you. People sit and watch, or dance around you. Great challenge except if your a nervous bug like me. Also, since it is one room, there is one radio. People are constantly fighting over it and it fustruating. It is my largest complaint. The radio, the one room. Look I want to learn how to dance to this, we got the steps now lets dance to it You get maybe 10seconds in before someone comes and jumps on the radio and changes it to what ever they please. I really wish, this place was at least split into two. Something different. I would really like to continue but the price is a bit steep, 120 a lesson for two that is 40minutes. I loved my teacher, she was great, hated the setup, hated that its one room for everyone to see and move dance around you trying not to bump. Loath that it was one room with a horrible game of "that's mine!!" Song on, let it finish don't immediately come running to change it. Is fun, refreshing. I got my certificate from groupon, just be prepared Oh! Yes if you have a large living room, and you rather learn your basics off youtube. You can. But! Its going out, having an instructor tell you how to improve, specifically point out the flaws and correct them. To make you that much more comfortable with dancing. It's having someone answer your questions.
