Arctic Académie de Danse

"This is a fantastic Midtown dance studio with multiple classes for all dance lovers. I have taken lessons from Bruce an experienced instructor. Since taking his lessons, I’ve received compliments about my dance frame. Fabienne and Bruce are great Instructors! Thank you for supporting Alaska’s Dance community."

"This is an excellent studio. I've done a few types of classes with them and taken private lessons, and both have been great experiences. Bruce and Fabienne are both patient and understanding, they structure their classes in a way that's easy to follow, and I feel like they both care a lot that their students are really learning and having fun."

"Really enjoyed the All-waltz class on Tuesday. In the progressive class we learned the extended box in silver waltz to a twinkle then leading the follow to an inside turn. Bruce and Fabienne are really great teachers."

"Bruce made an absolute nightmare of the Valentines Day dance night at Pink Cadillac. What started as a wondeful night with a talented artist sharing her craft ended with more than one couple in tears as he forcibly rushed everyone through multiple complicated moves without waiting for everyone to master the basic steps or even show an ounce of confidence in them. When his partner, who was lovely and seemed to want to assist, attempted to step in to help us, he shooed her away, stating "They need to figure it out on their own." There were also several uncomfortable moments in which he mocked or snarked at the couples, saying "I'm not calling anyone out, but-" and proceeding to call out people who were visibly struggling. It was really disheartening, as my partner is brand new to dancing and was looking forward to this class. We definitely won't be going to any classes he instructs again. Credit to his partner though, for at least trying to help people learn."

"This is the best ballroom dance studio in Alaska! Bruce and Fabienne provide a professional structured environment ripe for learning suitable for all ages and levels of proficiency. I've met some of my best friends and my fiance through ballroom dancing. It's fun, it's social, and it's an activity you can do year round!"
