My sister in law ran out onto the dance floor to video us. She yelled out OMG you guys can dance!! We had absolutely no experience but Cristian and Lily have transformed us into dancers. Olya and Sasha also have been extremely helpful. It's set up so not only you have your private lesson, they have group lesson's to keep up on your dances. Plus a party once a month to really try out your dance skills in a party environment. We love the atmosphere here, you feel like a member of the family from the moment you walk in the door. So we will be continuing our dance journey!

My wife and I took dance lessons for our big day. We had zero experience with any kind of formal…read moredancing. We walked into the dance studio for the first time nervous and anxious. We were met with smiles and a very caring group of people who helped us break out of our comfort zone. Our instructor Greg is absolutely amazing. He took two completely green dancers and guided us towards a goal of having an extremely beautiful choreographed "first dance". Going out and dancing every two weeks was a great experience. It gave us the confidence to get out on that dance floor for our "first dance" and kill it. It was an absolute blast. We surprised everyone in our family with our first dance. No one knew that we had been planning this for months. We really knocked their socks off. And it is all thanks to the great staff over at Fred Astaire Dance Studio!!!!

One of the best dance studios in the area!

The studio owner Kelly is amazing! All of the uniforms are always in stock and if there's something you need, Kelly is always willing to order it.

Definitely check them out.

I highly recommend Howell Academy of Dance. The owner and the staff are amazing. Their number one…read morepriority is "your child". They teach for the joy of dance and want to instill that same joy in the children they teach. During this pandemic they have gone above and beyond for their students as well as their parents. They offered virtual classes, extra activities, a virtual recital and even offered virtual Zumba & yoga classes for the Moms. Many of their teachers are actually former students who have returned to share their love of dance. They are a family and I was blessed to have my daughter be a part of that family for 14 years. They took a very shy little girl and helped shape her into the outgoing & successful adult she is today. Howell Academy of Dance is more than a dance studio, it is a family.

Highly recommend. It's a quality studio with talented teachers and wonderful staff. We have always…read moreloved HAD but the pandemic has shown just how amazing they are! They went above and beyond to keep the dancers engaged with zoom classes and extra (free) activity sessions. We even had Zumba and yoga for Mom's!

I would not be the person or dancer I am today without former studio director Barbara Parren and…read morecurrent studio director Erin Pasko, just two of the amazing teachers that Studio 7 students learn from. All of the staff does a great job fostering a love for dance and encouraging students that they can accomplish anything they set their mind to. If you're looking for a studio that doesn't just have talented teachers and students, but also a great environment for learning, Studio 7 is definitely the best option! I couldn't imagine a different place having the same effect.

My daughter is a member of the competition team at Core Dance Company. Miss Torie, the studio…read moreowner/Director is amazing, and provides every student excellent training, while creating a family atmosphere. My daughter enjoys a positive experience at Core while she is learning and growing as a dancer. Not only does Core focus on technique, the studio also provides a positive atmosphere where dancers learn discipline, and how to set goals for themselves to grow. My daughter's confidence in herself has drastically improved since joining Core, and she has learned to challenge herself to be the most successful dancer she can be. My daughter receives exceptional training in many techniques including ballet, jazz, tap, Hip-hop, lyrical, acro, and contemporary. Miss Torie and the rest of the Core instructors are dedicated and personally invested in every single dancer that walks through the door. Not only has my daughter become a stronger, more beautiful dancer at Core, but she has become part of a true family as well.

Fun Zumba spot to check out! Came with my cousin as she usually goes to this spot and we wanted to…read morego together. I love the atmosphere and the black lights and graffiti style writing on the walls. It gives it a fun touch. It wasn't as dance centric as I'm used to but it was still fun and a good workout. And with any spot, each Zumba instructor is different. Wished the room was bigger, people were crammed together. I'm used to going in a bigger gym so you have more space but that's the size space they are working with. Maybe they can help place people or encourage people to move up and let the instructor utilize the stage more. Overall it's a fun place to check out if you love Zumba.

This is the one place I can go where no one judges me or my issues. Something inside me comes alive on the dance floor and even on my hardest days I find myself smiling and letting it all go. For an hour a day I get to be free from my insecurities, which usually has a lasting effect even after class. I've met some great people here and we all have our thing that keeps us coming back for more. It's not just a studio, it's a community of people that need a place to go to be themselves, laugh and have a good time. We make mistakes, we start over, we keep going, we have a good time and that's all that matters. Thank you D!

But, some dedicated people put a lot of sweat and money into renovating this building. Now, it is delightful; all three floors. There is an Auditorium on the ground floor that seats about 400 downstairs and another 200 in the balcony (which you enter from the 2nd floor). It would be an ideal spot for small concerts like Loudon Wainwright, Colin Hay, Livingston Taylor, etc. There is also a tiny theater on the 3rd floor (seats about 75). There are former classrooms that are being used for dance classes, yoga classes, etc. During the summer of 2017, they have a fine art show throughout the building (all 3 levels) titled "This Great Earth". I hope you realize that the Earth without Art is just Eh.
