Alfie is an amazing dance teacher! He explains everything very well and is very patient with beginners, like my husband and me.

If you want to learn how to swing dance, Alfie if your guy! My boyfriend and I have been dancing with Alfie since July of this year in prep for some weddings that we are attending, and it has been an absolute blast! Alfie is very knowledgeable in dance and has been great at teaching a couple of newbies a few moves. Now that the weddings are done and over with, we have continued our lessons with Alfie and it is something we look forward to every weekend!

Alfie is an amazing instructor. He made two beginners feel at home on the dance floor and excited to return to it! My husband and I wanted to start a class together but struggled to figure out how to do it with our young child. Finding a babysitter and working out all the costs is tough. Alfie is okay with us bringing her along for future classes so we can come without the extra worry!

Instructor: Alfie teaches private lessons and really made us feel welcome and comfortable on the dance floor. It was my husband's first time on a dance floor, ever, and he was extremely nervous! Now he can't wait to come back. You can also tell from Alfie's poise and the way he teaches that he really is an expert professional. His teaching is easy to follow, makes you feel confident in continuing, and he is very patient.

Studio: The studio surprised us! It looks very small on the outside, but when you go down the steps you enter a beautiful classy ballroom wonderland. Absolutely gorgeous!

Pricing: The cost for private lessons is extremely reasonable. The owner and instructor teaches himself, and we were the only students there. Plus like I said earlier, we don't have to find a babysitter!

Types of classes: This is a studio focused on ballroom dance for sure, which is exactly what we wanted! They offer the standard dances (waltz, foxtrot, quickstep, etc) Latin dances (salsa, cha-cha, etc) and various types of swing dances too!

If you're hesitating, don't! Call and set up a lesson! I'm sure you'll end up as excited as we are to return!

Thank you to Alfie for being such a great and patient ballroom instructor! My husband and I needed some practice with our first dance and did not know what to expect for one lesson, but Alfie created us a whole combination we were able to practice. Great experience!

Alfie has been an incredible tutor for my partner and I. His ability to dance, and teach others how to dance, is second to none.

Had a lesson here with my fiance for our first dance and it was wonderful. The instructor was very kind and patient and gave us a great easy to follow routine. We are not dancers in any way, but I feel very confident that we will look great for our first dance.

Started here a year ago with my wife. I had no dance experience what so ever. The teacher is amazing and very patient. He's pretty much like family at this point. All classes are private, so you don't have to worry about anyone watching you while you dance. Has a social you can attend twice a month if you do want to dance around others and use what you've been practicing.

You can learn even if you don't have a dance partner. He also doesn't mind kids which is awesome if you're like me and have nobody to watch yours during class. All in all, it's a really great environment and amazing experience. Teaches both social and competitive.
