"My boyfriend and I are having so much fun learning Salsa from our instructor Chris. Chris is super knowledgeable and professional while still keeping our lessons fun. He was able to get my boyfriend and I dancing together in sync in no time. We grow more confident dancing together every session. I will say the best way to get your bang for your buck is practice often outside of your private sessions and take advantage of their group classes and practice parties. Dance class has become our favorite part of the week and we look forward to many many more classes and private lessons to come."

"Took some lessons here for our first dance for our wedding and it was an all around great experience! We got help with everything from tips on specific moves to selecting the right mix of steps to fit our song. Maile was really fun to work with and we absolutely rocked it on our wedding day! Thanks again to Maile and Chris for helping us along the way."

"I have been taking lessons here for a year now and enjoying every minute of the experience. My instructor has been the human embodiment of patience as ballroom dancing is all brand new to me. The studio is also more than just individual lessons with group classes every evening and dance parties on Fridays; so lots of chances to learn from all the excellent instructors and practice what I'm learning. The studio has built a great community of people, creating a fun place to learn to dance and just hang out with new friends."

"My time with the FADS has been very positive, educational, and supportive. The staff are always enthusiastic when working on new dance moves, as well as eager to answer questions or maybe give a different explanation when I get confused. Dancing has become a hobby of mine, and I am very happy with my experience at FADS. I highly recommend this studio to anyone wanting to learn how to dance!"

"Just a heads up, their "private lessons" for $145 per 45min aren't actually private; you share the studio space and don't get to listen to the music you've chosen. The best they can do is allow you to listen to your song on a phone while whatever they're playing on the speaker system is blasting. Try learning to waltz for your weddings first dance while salsa music is blaring from overhead speakers as your chosen waltz song plays from an iPhone. NOT exactly what we had in mind when we envisioned our "private" dance lessons for $145 per 45min. Update after reading response from FA: WOW, I'm blown away at how ridiculous the response from FA is on so many levels. You actually had the nerve to LIE and say our song was played on the "sound system". The only way that's a true statement is if you are referring to your iPhone as a "sound system". And you had the nerve to say we weren't ready for music in our choreography when you were playing 2 different kinds of music for our entire lesson. Saying it's up to the instructor when to add the "element of music". Both of those statements are simply NOT true, there was music the entire time. And as you clearly stated in your email response to our request; there will always be other music playing in the studio because there's multiple lessons going on at the same time.....Additionally, in the lesson we took with a different teacher we've learned half of our 2 minute routine in ONE lesson. It's safe to say we were ready for the "element of music" and it was "beneficial" in our learning process. In fact it enables you to learn much faster! That method being one-on-one, and practicing to your chosen song without the distraction of another song playing at the same time."
