Dance Vita Ballroom

A very clean, organized, well maintained dance studio. People and staff here are friendly. Two big dance floor, so plenty of dance space for teaching, practice, etc. location are great and plenty of parking space in front of the studio. They also have great program for kids or younger generation. I am a PRO teacher/​performer and this studio impressed me! I would highly recommend this place.

I’ve been attending Gifford’s Sunday Zumba class for almost a year now. I’ve tried the other Zumba class on Saturday as well. Both classes are great. I go to the Sunday class due to my personal schedule. Gifford is an excellent dancer and teacher. Love his selection of music which I always end up listening/​dancing to on my own after. It’s a fun blend of Latin and pop. His choreography has a blend of stage as well as club dance moves, so it’s useful when you’re out clubbing or parties. The music and choreography changes every few months. It’s great exercise while you’re dancing. I REALLY wish he had more classes during the week. Others in the class feel the same way.

Nancy and David are amazing! Very thoughtful and caring teachers. If you want to learn Tango and looking for good teachers — they are the best!

My husband and I got the wedding first dance package here, and are thrilled with the result! The choreography we got was unique and exciting, our teacher Harry was very helpful and clear in instructing us, and our guests were completely wowed by the dance.

After a bumpy start and a formal complaint I got an immediate and exceptional response to my earlier snarky rating, I opted to take up the owner’s offer to give Dance Vita a second chance.
This will go down as one of the best decisions I have made as the introduction and lesson were brilliant, Oxana was charming and highly impactful at delivering dance instruction, and the studio was comfortable and inviting.

We had a wonderful time here!
We had some private lessons with Daniel R in preparation for our wedding. We came in knowing what song we wanted and started rehearsing a dance. Daniel helped us choreograph what we wanted to do and was VERY patient with me (I have awful hand-​eye coordination).
When we came back for a follow-​up lesson to keep the choreography fresh and help us remember it. We ended up changing the song we were dancing to AND re-​choreographed the whole thing. We wouldn’t have been able to do that without Daniel.
I highly recommend this studio and Daniel R!

Best dance experience of my life! I’ve never danced before, but I took an intro lesson with Danya and felt like a natural. He was very knowledgeable and patient. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this place!

I went for a group outing to learn Latin dance.
I’ve taken ballroom lessons before, but that was years ago and don’t remember any of the steps.
Like any student who doesn’t know what they’re doing, I was in the back row with all the other newbies. I had a great time learning the moves and tried my best to look as graceful as possible and was grateful that the instructor, Artjom, didn’t laugh at our klutzy moves! He was so patient and did a great job teaching us.
We had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate to learn a different kind of dance… maybe one without turns? ;-)

I LOVE Dance Vita. The caveat is that I love dancing, which I just rediscovered recently, and would do it every day if I could. My favorite dance group is Rythym and Jeremy teaches fantastic beginner and intermediate level Rythym classes. My only regret is that there aren’t more classes to take. I also wish that Jeremy would teach back-​to-​back classes on the same day. The ballroom is lovely and the other people are really nice. There are a lot of young people and there is nothing more inspiring than watching the incredible high-​level teen dancers who are there practicing almost every day. Highly recommended!

My (now) husband and I thought it would be a fun idea to learn a choreographed dance for our wedding last August, the problem was we only had 3 weeks until the wedding and zero dance experience.
We showed up to the studio for our introductory appointment with Jeremy and we were pretty terrified and didn’t have a clue what to expect. Jeremy greeted us with a smile and immediately put us at ease. We showed him the dance we wanted to learn (from one of our favorite movies) and the question we had for him was, could this be done in less than 3 weeks (and a handful of lessons).
Jeremy assessed us to see what he was working with and assured us that if we worked hard, we could learn the dance in time.
We had lessons or practice sessions about 2 – 3 times per week and each one was more fun (and more challenging) than the last. Jeremy somehow worked his magic and each week we were improving and picking up the moves more quickly. It was an incredible sense of accomplishment to go from zero experience to learning a full 3 minute dance in less than 3 weeks. I must add – watching Jeremy dance is an experience in itself. He knows so many styles and is so graceful – he makes the moves look so easy!
We got SO lucky to be paired with Jeremy. He made this experience such a special one for us. He is so much fun and though we were stressed with everything to be done for the wedding (being just days away), Jeremy had a way of releasing our stress. Dancing was something my husband and I never knew we loved and I’m so glad we tried it – it brought us together as a couple in a new way. I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed dancing and getting to know Jeremy – in fact, we still keep in touch and we look forward to returning soon for new lessons!
Thank you Jeremy and the Dance Vita team!

Best dance studio I’ve ever tried. Vaidas and Jurga are awesome. I’ve been with them for 1.5 years so far. Ever since I started my group lesson with them, I don’t want to go anywhere else.

These guys & gals are great! We did a custom mashup dance for our wedding and they were very accommodating. Jeremy worked with our crazy schedule in order to best use our time, not to mention he was great at working with my dance skill level (or lack thereof hehe).
He worked with the mashup song we put together, where 2 of the songs had specific dance moves from the artists’ music video (Madonna’s Vogue and Vanilla Ice’s ‘Ice Ice Baby’ haha), which he studded and put moves together to magnificently match the timing of the snippet we used, as well as came up with some custom moves for the other two styles of songs (Salsa and Swing). All of the people there were very friendly, answered phone calls and emails promptly and worked with us when we had to reschedule several times.
Here’s the outcome!
Ultimately, we didn’t nail it, lol we were nervous. But it turned out pretty good and people seemed to enjoy it. But to go from literally nothing to this combo in 4 visits? Nothing short of a miracle. We couldn’t have done anything even REMOTELY close to this good without the Dance Vita team!
While we were there at our private lessons we could see some other classes going on, and there were some really good dancers as well as other beginners. Looks like they can handle all levels of dance skill.
I would highly recommend them if you’re looking to learn a new dance for your wedding or big performance, just improve your moves, or if your two left feet need some heavy coaching!

Our instructor at Dance Vita, Jeremy, is an awesome teacher. My bride, an experienced dancer, and me, a dance newcomer, engaged Jeremy to choreograph and teach us a 1^st Dance routine for our wedding. He crafted and coached us in an over the top (according to our guests) waltz and rumba routine.
We had so much fun! We are back, happily married, and learning east and west coast swing, hustle, and will soon learn the two step. Say yes to dancing and ask for Jeremy!

We took our wedding dance lesson from Jeremy and it was absolutely awesome! My husband (fiancé at the time) didn’t have any dance background, and I only had some gym-​dancing experiences, but we wanted to do one of those surprise dances that starts out normally and then busts into some cool hip-​hoppy moves. Jeremy was completely unfazed by the challenge of creating and teaching two non-​dancers such a routine. We ended up starting with a simplified version of Viennese waltz to La Valse d’Amélie [Orchestral version] and then transitioning into hip-​hop to an abridged version of Boom Boom Pow. It was the perfect routine – just simple enough so we can actually manage to dance it, but flashy enough to be cool – we had so much fun learning it! Needless to say, the crowd at the wedding went WILD! :D
Thank you Jeremy! :)

Worse dance class I have ever taken!!!
I called to obtain information about their beginning ballroom dance classes. I asked how often they change their dance, the person responded every week. That didn’t quite make sense to me because I have never taken a beginning ballroom class that taught a new dance every week; this would not allow you to reinforce what you learned.
So I called again later and was given a different answer, they start a new dance each month, that made more sense. So I said so we should start at the beginning of the month, she said no come anytime. I asked her how to register with my voucher, she said to go on-​line.
I go on-​line to register and it says I need to pay, so I call them again and say it won’t let me register unless I pay. She said, oh you just needed to create an account and I can register you over the phone (FRUSTRATED, that isn’t what you told me to do the first time).
OK, now we are registered for the class, now time to take the class. Arrive a couple of minutes early in case they want us to fill out any paperwork, no surprise there is paperwork. We sit down and wait for instructor who is 10 minutes late! Then without introduction starts class, you stand over here, you over there. Okay, nice to meet you too, don’t know your name or anything about you.
Luckily we had taken a dance classes before, so this dance was not new to us. BUT, if you haven’t taken a dance class before, do NOT do what they suggest and just come in, you most likely wont be able to follow as they just do a review of steps.
About half way through the class, they came to a step that was new to us, and we struggled a bit with it and it was obvious we were not quite getting the step. The instructor NEVER offered any help or assistance. At any other studio they are almost always happy and welcome to help their students.
This hands down was the worse dance class I have ever taken!!!

Oxana was our dance teacher and she is absolutely amazing. My fiancé and I took dance lessons for our wedding and we really thought we’d dread it. We aren’t just people with no rhythm and no dance experience, we’re practically unteachable.
Oxana is a great teacher. She breaks down the moves so you understand and she explains things in a way that is so clear. After our first class we really looked forward to the next ones because we had so much fun. Oxana doesn’t talk too much or too little– she is perfect. We feel so lucky to have her as a teacher. She is worth every penny!

I would have given this business 5 stars except for an unpleasant receptionist/​dancer in the front desk whenever I sign up. Her name is Rebecca… never says hello, never says thank you (just grabs your money), never smiles… unfriendly. The teacher of the class I go to is great, however, and the class is fun… Dance Vita, please put someone friendly and personable in your front desk. Whoever you put there becomes the face of your business.

This is a great dance studio!
My wife and I were taking lessons from Hayes for quite some time prior to his leaving. The studio is very large with plenty of space. The instructors are very knowledgeable and the staff/​instructors want you to be happy! I know that sounds weird, but some places we have danced at have people answering the phones or working the front that just don’t care and it is very frustrating. They also offer plenty of classes for many popular dances.
They are a little expensive, but well worth it by far!!! And there is nothing close that comes even close to the quality of instruction at Dance Vita.

A friend of mine were scoping out places to take a Zumba class and stumbled upon Dance Vita. Drop in rate is $ 12 and they hold the class only on Sunday afternoons. Everyone from the front desk to the instructors were really nice and the actual work out was GREAT! I didn’t think I would like the class as much as I did! I ended up buying their special of 5 classes at $ 50 for Zumba. The class was not that big, only 5 people on the Sunday that I went to to and I was afraid that every one would be looking at me but you get so caught up on learning the moves and having fun that I didn’t care that there were only 5 of us in class. The front desk person (Jennifer) said they had just started offering Zumba hence the small class.
The instructors G and Clay come up with some really fun routines and have great music choices (Bruno Mars, LMFAO, Jennifer Lopez).
Bring water and a towel if you sweat!

Beautiful people. Beautiful Studio. Great great dance classes!
My 5 going 6 year old daughter witnessed an amazing ballroom dance performance at her school one day, and asked me if she can have some dance lessons at Dance Vita. We were hesitant at first because, usually dance classes are generally expensive. We still went to Dance Vita, in one of their ballroom dance classes for the kids, and the prices are incredibly budget-​friendly! =)
My daughter is always so excited to dance! She even joined the other dance classes they offer. The instructors are authentic! I love how the owners themselves are there as instructors too! this place shows passion!
Dance Vita also has personal one on one lessons. We have signed up our daughter for that (since she asked us again =) and they will perform with my daughter on our wedding!!! We are so excited! =) We wanted to sign up for a wedding dance package but my fiancé recently got injured and can’t walk until a month before our wedding. Great. Oh well, it’s ok. Anyway, Jennifer, the front desk manager, helped us set everything up! She’s so amazingly nice and informative.
My mom even joined their Rumba class. (*haha!) Yup, i have a cool mom. =) And she enjoys it. Hihi ;)
Go to Dance Vita! Great great place! =)
