ADI has been a really positive experience for me as an adult beginning dancer transitioning back in…read moreto ballet after time away. The teachers have been knowledgeable, friendly, unpretentious and encourage questions. I've taken adult ballet classes at two other Seattle dance schools which I've decided to stop attending because the experience at ADI just feels right compared to the others. I'd chalk it up to: 1) Convenient location with free parking. 2) Welcoming environment. I met the business owner from day one and she was very friendly. The instructors learn your name, which surprisingly isn't always the case. It makes a difference. 3) Instructors that are very engaged with dance and can explain the subtleties well. 4) Flexibility; the school lets you make up classes in either the Magnolia or Greenwood location. You get emails if you miss a class asking if you would like to make up. In other schools, asking for make ups has sometimes felt like pulling teeth, but they make it easy for you if life happens. Also, there are a couple of adult beginning ballet classes per week with hours that are doable for someone working 9-6.

My daughter loves ADI. We moved to the area about four years ago and stumbled around until we found…read morethis dance school. We started in Greenwood and now take classes at Magnolia. My daughter has a great relationship with her instructor, Margaret, and everyone in the staff is incredibly warm and welcoming. No matter what activities come and go for my daughter, she never wants to quit dancing and I know that is in part due to the welcoming environment at ADI. It's always great to see the big smile on my kids face when she finish a class!

I can't say enough good things about VAM. The way that they make a wide range of dance styles…read moreaccessible to all ages and skill levels in the community is unsurpassed! I like it so much I drive down from Snohomish on a regular basis to take class. I've been taking tap at VAM from Mark for 5 years now. He is extremely welcoming, and one of the nicest human beings you will meet! As a more advanced adult tap dancer, it can be hard to find a studio that can continue to challenge you. And challenge me Mark does! I am humbled to be able to take class from someone who trained under the masters, and really is a master himself! His historical knowledge of tap dance is priceless and I love hearing his stories. All these years later, Mark will still pull out steps/patterns I've never seen before. No two classes are the same! And most importantly he makes class fun and is extremely skilled at "teaching to the room", making sure everyone present is being challenged at their level. Proof of all of this can be seen in the vast array of adults who come to take tap dance here - all ages and skill levels! In true "drop-in" format as well, which is very conducive to adult schedules (no feeling like you'll be behind because you missed the previous week). Veronica and the rest of the staff are super kind as well. I've always felt welcome walking in the door. Their annual showcases are also very fun to be a part of. If you are unsure, definitely give VAM a try! I'm willing to bet they have a class/level for you.

Doug's review is divine!…read more I have loved this class for many years. I have been a part of social action, community art expression and so many sweaty flowy dance classes. The participants change, the rhythm and the richness multiplies. Lara is connected to many. She regularly donates part of income from different dance venues to sponsored groups. I recommend this class and the goodness with which it enriches your life.

I would highly recommend checking out some of their online classes and once the world gets moving again to come through and take a class in person!
