Dance With Me Long Island

"Eric was phenomenal in teaching us the bachata first dance for our wedding. He was super from beginning to end, patient in teaching us the steps and helping us work together, he listened carefully to what we wanted and crafted an elegant but simple choreography that was within our ability, he was creative in putting the music and movement together, and he made something potentially stressful quite fun. And we knocked it outta the park! He came to our wedding reception to teach bachata to our guests and he made it so fun and accessible for everyone. It got them all dancing, all ages and set us up for a great rest of the evening on the dance floor! We are so grateful and happy we found him!"

"Walking in the doors of Dance with Me Long Island has been one of the best decisions of my life. I was really nervous the first time I walked into the studio. After all..it is the home of Maks, Val and Tony from Dancing with the Stars. How would they view this 50 plus , out of shape woman who hasn't danced in years? I am a fan of Dancing with the Stars and after watching a few seasons with older contestants, I thought..maybe I can do that ! I loved dance when I was younger, but really thought those days were over. Even though I can appear confident, I felt really nervous and out of place. That did not last very long. From the front desk ladies...(from Katherine and Kaisha), who embraced me , to every one of my teachers ( Jason ,Julio and Andrea), I was able to start regaining confidence that I had lost for years. At Dance with Me Glen Head you get individualized instruction for all types of dance desires. I have even had great coaching and lessons with Maks and Val! Whether you want to learn to dance for a special occasion like a wedding, or are younger and interested in dancing competitively, or just want to meet some people and take a few group lessons, Dance with Me Long Island can provide different levels to meet your needs and budget. I will warn you, other studios will cost less money, but for me, the quality of teaching is worth the price I pay. All of the instructors are completely invested in the art form..and it shows whenever you are in the studio. I am treated like a student of dance and I love that feeling. I am happy to say that I have been taking lessons both individually and in groups, off and on, for 4 years. Participating in competitions and showcases has been some of the best experiences of my adult life. I can't wait to do it again! The DWM FAM is so wonderful. I love my friends at the studio. I look forward to many future events with my DWMFAM. You will not be sorry if you choose to become part of the DWM Family. Happy Dancing!!!"

"I have been a dancer since the age of 3, and at 24 I had found myself out of my studio, out of college, and left with hole dancing everyday once filled. Finding Julio at Dance With Me was one of the greatest things that had happened to me. Even though it wasn’t everyday, I finally found a place to dance again, a place to challenge me, a place to make me smile, and a home to dance my troubles away again. I wouldn’t have driven an hour to get there if it wasn’t worth it! And holy cow, it truly was. I really cannot say enough wonderful things about my teacher Julio, and I really don’t think there are any words out there to properly express just how amazing he really is. As an instructor, Julio is PATIENT, understanding, supportive, encouraging and incredibly knowledgeable. He is so fun, and is able to showcase your strengths and improve your weaknesses. All the instructors at Dance With Me just simply know how to bring a smile to everyone’s face. Whether this is your first dance lesson, or you’ve been dancing for years and want to try a new style this truly is the place to go. You won’t regret it!"

"Dance With Me Glen Head has become my second home. As someone with self-esteem/confidence/anxiety issues, I've always loved to dance but always withdrew in myself to never let me progress. Every single one of my instructors have helped mold me into a more confident person who challenges herself day to day. It always feels like a breath of fresh air walking into that studio every week. They're so hands on with their students and everyone always has a smile on their face. I wouldn't suggest anywhere else for dancing."

"Simply the best dance studio. I've learned so much. I've gained so much confidence in myself and this studio has helped me gain that. I'm learning disabled, and part of my disability is having a hard taking directions and understanding them quickly. Here at Dance With Me, the instructors have been so incredible with... it would be hard for someone to guess that I have a learning disability because of the fact of how well they have taught me. The instructors and staff have been amazing and are truly wonderful people. Very talented group of people. I've had the pleasure of learning from some of the best coaches ever. I love this studio and wouldn't go to any other."
