The instructors are the best - encouraging, thoughtful, passionate, and just so much damn fun to be around in general. The student community is also a wonderful perk about taking lessons at this studio. Everyone is wonderfully friendly and welcoming - it is a certainly a safe (and not to mention beautiful) space for learning. Re: COVID precautions - they're taking all the necessary precautions to keep the space safe (temperature checks at the door, readily available hand sanitizer, gloves requirements for the teachers, mask requirements for all, outdoor lessons, and reduced indoor capacity to limit exposure). I've never felt unsafe when on-site for my private lessons or group activities. All in all, if you're looking to try something new or find your inner ballroom dance spirit animal, I'd highly recommend checking this studio out!

My main complaint about this studio is that they don't have air conditioning, so taking class…read moreduring the summer when Boston temperatures are in the 80s and 90s can be extremely unpleasant and tower fans are just not sufficient. It can be uncomfortable just to be standing in that kind of weather, let alone doing cardio for an hour plus. Honestly, this seems irresponsible to me, and I'm confused by the fact that they don't seem to be concerned about heat stroke. There are definitely days when the only reason I don't go to class is because there's no AC. I also wish they had contemporary classes (they have one "contemporary modern" once a week, which is not the same as contemporary).

After couple weeks the sessions were cancelled because they told me the tutor was injured. No reschedule or expansion was offered on my passes. They simply tried to sell me other sessions instead. Then the Coronavirus.. I tried to contact the studio to request course suspension but they refused to do so. Only passes extension for one week doesn't count guys! Now they are offering only online sessions for some popular courses. Still no popping.. Personally, I think the virus is serious and I tied to cancelled the shows I booked and suspended my gym membership. All processes went smoothly except with StyleMe! My wife is learning ballet at Boston Ballet School. She tried to suspend her sessions half way through her course and even got full refund!

While browsing Groupon I noticed a deal for dance lessons at db studios, which was very conveniently located for us. Of course I browsed reviews ahead of time to make sure we weren't walking into a trap, and noticed that they had several glowing reviews on here. Congratulations to db studios too for celebrating their 1 year anniversary! The owner and instructor, Kendall responded immediately to our initial e-mail inquiry and we set up a FREE consultation dance lesson with her. I may have inadvertently made her update the website since it now says the Groupon/Yelp deals can't be combined. Oops! Kendall welcomed us to db studios, which is located within the Newton Congregational Church. The private lessons are rehearsed on the upper stage, which mimics the size of most venue dance floors. For the consultation she listened to our song to determine what type of ballroom dance style would fit best and we decided on the fox trot. We had the option of another style, but it did not allow for us to move around the stage as much. During the first lesson we learned the basic step as well as the box step. (I know, we are starting from the ground up here.) She worked with each of us individually by having us follow her side by side along with dancing with us directly. For each class she took notes to give us specific points of improvement to work on outside of class. We highly appreciated Kendall's flexible hours as I often work quite late. So we've had lessons starting at 8 PM. It's great that for Monday - Wednesday she is available until 10 PM! In addition, Kendall worked with our limited budget and we accomplished all that we hoped within the 3 official dance lessons. If the Groupon or Yelp offer is still available, I would definitely recommend taking advantage of the limited time offer. Regular priced private lessons are $85 for 45 minutes. I imagine that since this is a relatively new business she is just building up positive buzz and clientele base. Otherwise there are other comparable dance studios you can contact (most of them don't post the rates) to find out if their dance studios packages are more suitable. For more details about the actual lessons, what song we chose, photos from the wedding, and interactions with the owner check out my blog. https://ratedbyhanna.com/dance-lessons-db-studios/
