NRG BALLROOM REVIEWS

Rado is a Phenomenal dance instructor! He was extremely welcoming and very encouraging to my 8 & 10 year old daughters to join in the Group Classes, Social Dance and Personal Lessons. The girls have been ballroom dancing for 4 years, it is so refreshing to finally have found such a safe & friendly place for them to continue their ballroom dance journey; We've learned the hard way, that can be tricky in a mainly adult based hobby. With a laugh & adorable smile, Rado challenges them just the right amount to keep them focused and not frustrated. He makes it fun for them to learn the next step. The floor is a nice size with a smaller ballroom for their extra classes. The atmosphere is elegant and clean. Bonus: It's always interesting to hear his stories and quips about Bulgaria. Gergana and Niki are so sweet and genuinely friendly *not the "fake friendly" you tend to get at other places* Everytime we walk in it makes going there much more enjoyable and well worth it. Definitely recommend going to NRG if you want exceptional dance attention.

NRG Ballroom is more than a dance studio - it’s a community! Everyone here is friendly, accepting and fun. The professional teachers are all excellent and help their students build and improve their skills. The wide variety of classes and events means that all levels of dancers and exercise are included. There’s something for everyone -young, young-at-heart and everything in between.

NRG is an amazing studio! It is very welcoming and has wonderful people. It also has a large variety (tap/clog being my favs) of classes that welcomes all levels. I love the community vibe it promotes.

DANCE 101 REVIEWS

As a family, we have been attending classes here for over five years now. This is a gem in Tempe that provides and supports dancers of all ages. I (39M) have done urban, contemporary, and I think tap is next. Our eldest (11F) loves it here so much, we are up to three classes a week. They are developing her technique while keeping dance fun. I have not had one issue with any of the instructors and/or staff. The best part of this place is the owner, and I guarantee that you will be impressed with her. Emily is kind, organized, and has a passion for what she does. You would be missing out if you didn’t give this place a look.

My children have thrived as dancers at Dance 101! The staff and instruction they have received from their teachers is fantastic! My kids love to go to dance and had so much fun at their first recital with this studio!! The studio is clean and well organized. Great Communication from the studio to parents on classes, camps, and schedules! I have taken adult classes as well and had the best experience. I recommend this studio to all my friends and family. From the owner to the staff and teachers, it’s the people that make the Dance 101 studio AMAZING.

Was looking for a dance studio to put my 2.5 year old daughter in and came across Dance 101. Ms Emily was so helpful during the whole process and Ms Riley was a great instructor. We plan on definitely coming back in the future! Would recommend for sure.

TEMPE DANCE ACADEMY REVIEWS

This studio is absolutely the best. The training is top notch, the shows are mind blowing, the opportunities they provide could not be better. If you want a studio that gives your child the best possible training in an amazing environment, this is the place. My son came from another studio defeated and way behind in his technique training. He was welcomed with open arms by everyone and given the best training to succeed. There is no better studio anywhere in the valley.

What a great studio. The family feel of the place, the amazing teachers and the technique are what keeps the place busy. My daughters have danced there for 9 years and I couldn't be happier with the way things are going. Miss Wanda feels like another mom/grandma to my kids. They treat her as part of the family. Love this studio and we are looking forward to many more dancing years.

The best values, technique, and professionals in the state and possibly in the US! This family owned studio has so many talented staff! You will be blown away by their performances and the dancers they produce. Stunning! Ms. Wanda taught me as a child and she is a mentor of mine to this day.
