I've been dancing all types of dances since I was a kid, but I never had the opportunity or time to pursue my interest in ballroom dance until now. When I first started coming to the studio I thought it would be something to do to relieve the daily stress of my job as a nurse once in a while. I'm glad that dancing has become a regular part of my life again. Everyone at Dance With Me is so welcoming and all of the instructors are so talented. I'm constantly pushed out of my comfort zone in the best way and I feel so much more confident in myself. Competing in the Fall Classic was a great experience and I'm looking forwards to what's next!!!

I've been dancing at Dance With Me for only 5 months and it has been the most incredible experience in my life so far. I've danced many different styles of dance but none of them can compare to the joy that ballroom dancing has given me. I'm very grateful to have Nikita as my instructor. He inspires me to be the best dancer I could be. I'm also appreciative of the opportunity to have lessons with Tony Dovolani. I look forward to future competitions and hope to be a professional ballroom dancer one day.

Dance With Me is an amazing place to be! The people are great and so are all the instructors and staff! My experience at the last showcase was truly amazing! I've never experienced something as good and fun as this. I had a ton of fun. Dancing has changed my life forever. If it weren't for this I wouldn't know what else I would be doing. I'm so grateful to be in such an awesome environment. I couldn't have asked for better.

I have danced at various dance studios in Long Island and New Jersey. Dance With Me , by far, is one of the most professional studios offering the finest quality of teaching from the most talented dance instructors in the world. I feel very fortunate to work with such experienced dance instructors. I would highly recommend Dance With Me to any person of any age who is looking to learn more or begin to learn about the wonderful art of dance.

This studio has become a "home away from home". The staff makes you feel like you're part of the family. The instructors are the best I've seen or danced with. Always pushing you to be the best you can (even if you don't believe it about yourself-And you guys know who your are!!) The friends I've made carry off the floor; outside of the studio. Lots of work but even more laughs. Hugs to you ALL!!!

"Dance With Me" Has brought back my joy of dancing. When I arrived at the studio, it had been after several years of taking time off from dancing. I have never done ballroom dancing before. Since my first lesson, I have loved every second of learning this style of dance. I couldn't ask for a better instructor than Andrea. His patience and encouragement have really allowed me to make big improvements in a short amount of time. Everyone at the studio is so supportive, and it gave me the courage to enter my first ballroom competition. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I look forward to more in the future.
Stephanie Miritello
I have been taking lesson at Dance With me Long island for just about a year. It has been one of the best experiences of my life. I love my instructors. They are so knowledgeable and professional. They definitely draw out the best from each and every student. Everyone at the studio, staff and students alike, is so warm and encouraging. I look forward to my lessons all day and am bummed on the days I do not have one. It is great exercise, both mentally and physically. I had been wanting to take ballroom lesson for a very long time and I am so happy I finally got up the courage to walk in the door. I cannot imagine my life without dancing.

Nicole Farino
Dance With Me is a great studio. I came in with hopes of being taught by amazing professionals and I must say that I have the best teacher/partner ever. Life is good and dancing makes it great. I did my first show just 3 months after starting here and will keep dancing in each show that comes my way!
Patricia Kucich
Dancing here has made me very happy. I love to dance and the instructors are wonderful.
"Why walk through Life when you can dance!"
Christine Earls
It's always a pleasure to learn with the professional dancers. The showcases and competitions alone are far beyond what you can imagine. I arrive willing to learn and I leave full of knowledge and drive to dance.
Brenda Vasiento
Since I walked through the doors of Dance With Me I have had my life changed. I have been able to enjoy and bring to new levels my passion of dancing! I have had the pleasure of meeting new and amazing people and friends. The staff is the best I have ever had the honor of learning from. Dance With Me allows me as a student to meet and have couchings with world champions and stars of the ballroom world. It is my daily sanity and it helped me to get in better physical shape and have confidence. I love competing. Igor and Nikita are the best and the studio is run by an amazing manager and the best front desk staff ever.
Randi Collins
I've been fortunate to be able to take dance lessons at Dance With Me Long Island. The experience has been awesome. My instructor, Andrea Marletta, is a caring, talented person and he taught me so much during the time we have been together. The Young At Heart showcase was an amazing experience . It gave me the opportunity to demonstrate what I've learned so far. It is something I will always remember. The Fall Classic Competition was the first time I participated in a competition. It was an experience I will never forget. I competed in Smooth, Rhythm, and Latin dances and amazingly I received five 1st place medals in Latin Dances. I look forward to the future with Dance With Me and my instructor! Everyone is so friendly. I love every minute at Dance With Me!!
Anna Blass
I came to the "Dance With Me" studio with intentions solely of getting my daughter and husband(father and daughter) dance lessons for her "Sweet 16". I was approached by a very nice gentleman by the name of Ralph, he introduced himself and informed me that he was the manager, he asked me if I wished to take a 30 minute free lesson, while my family was being evaluated by their instructor Sasha. Well the rest is history, I immediately fell in love with the lessons, my instructor and the entire staff of Dance With Me. They have helped me with weight loss, strengthen what was a very bad back and also helping me develop and find my personality again. I attended my first competition which was in the fall and it reassured me that I had found a new passion. I am now in the process of being trained for the next Dance With Me event! Thank You to Ralph and the staff at Dance With Me for helping me in my next journey!
Carol Acker
"Dance With Me" is run like a family. Everyone is extremely friendly and caring. The staff is very professional and the instructors are very talented in their own right as well as in a teaching capacity. I look forward to my lessons, both private and group. My instructor gives 110% of himself in every class to all his students. Showcases are presented every 3 to 4 months. I particularly enjoy the process of creating the choreography, as well as creating the costumes. It's exciting to perform our routines on stage or a cabaret setting. Working with famous chorographers is a sounding experience. The competitions sponsored by the studios have been well organized and in beautiful venues. We got to enjoy a lovely dinner and a fabulous show with famous professionals and celebrities. In summary, I have met many wonderful people in the studio who have become good friends. I Truly enjoy my experience at "Dance With Me".

How does a person fulfill a dream? For me I walked through the door of Dance With Me. The atmosphere of the studio and the people that greeted me instantly made me know that the dream I had waited a lifetime for, was about to come true. As soon as my instructor Igor said "hell how are you" to me, I knew I would finally know what it feels like to dance. I went from never dancing a step to becoming a champion because of the care, dedication and passion of Igor. Dance With Me made it possible to experience a professional and competitive dance program. Dreams do come true, and starting to dance at 56yrs old has given me more joy than I can express. Dreams are so hard to put into words, But mine is Dance With Me, and Igor.
Janet Cho
Dance is my favorite pastime and I love coming to Dance With Me. The
instructors are the best in the world, and have helped me progress as a
dancer tremendously.
Stacy Fischer
Dancing has always been a passion of mine, but as most of know when we get older, responsibilities and work tend to inhibit us from dropping everything just to do something just for fun. I recently however, received one of the best birthday presents I can think of and that was some private lessons at DWM NJ. Paired with one of the most talented, genuine, patient and kind teachers, Carlos Taylor has reinvigorated my passion of dance and I now make it a point to dance with him as many times a week as possible. Thanks to Carlos and the entire staff, after 3 months of learning all types of dances I never knew I wanted to learn I just completed my first ever dance competition. The endless support and family atmosphere in the studio, both staff and students alike make this studio top notch. I cannot say enough kind things about each and every person I encounter there, but I hope to dance for many years to come with all of them by my side.
Lois Fein
Last year my husband decided to sign us up for the introductory dance package because he knew how much I have always loved dancing. Well, after two lessons he became a drop-out. Because of the telephone calls I received from the studio saying we had these unused lessons, I decided to finish taking the package. Once I was in the studio, I realized how much I adored dancing. That was last April. I was introduced to Aleksandar Vukosavljevic - the best instructor and partner for me. I am addicted. We now have several first place wins in the Smooth categories and several second place wins in the Rhythm and Latin categories (which we are planning to win in the near future). I love dancing and my joy is apparent to all those who know me. I love the challenge of improving my dancing. Thanks go to Aleksandar, Clyde and the entire staff for pushing me.

Claire Zeigler
Dance With Me Soho has been nothing short of a second family to me. I highly doubt I would have danced until just over 8 months pregnant anywhere else! The warmth and enthusiasm of this group of people is admirable. I have enjoyed every lesson and will continue to dance there as long as my bank account allows it! I value the professionalism, dedication and camaraderie of this team and look forward to many more hours of fun and improvement on the dance floor.

When I first walked into DWM SoHo first thing I noticed was the decor. Really stunning. Right after that was the front desk. The receptionist's are just amazing. They greet you which such warmth and kindness you truly feel welcome and they definitely broke my initial nervousness on my first day there. The teaching staff is extremely friendly. And you can feel the camaraderie among them by just watching their interactions on the floor. My intro lesson flew by so fast. We really started from the basics like walking back and forth. Trying out the different styles was really so fun, the instructor put me at ease. All of the above mentioned made me stay and take more lessons. Slowly I became a regular and I don't regret it. All the instructors are skilled and trained by the best professionals in the field and they practice daily to better their dancing as well as teaching skills. They LOVE what they do and you can feel it. They know how intimidating the ballroom can seem to a non-dancer so they try always to make it a fun learning experience. Manager of the studio, a former competitor himself, is an extremely pleasant person. He's not hiding in an office, behind the closed doors. You can find him sitting right next to the front desk, eyes always on the floor or walking around the room and observing the lessons, giving advices etc. The atmosphere in the studio is one of a family where everyone talks to everyone and everyone helps everyone out. Family bonded by the love of dance.
Nelly Peraza
At DWMS the positive energy starts at the front desk when they greet all of us with warmth, pleasant smiles that lead all of us into this friendly & supportive international adopted family.All the instructors are knowledgeable and how to teach, with bit of difference in stiles which, we can experience if we like. We learn and have lots of fun. It is pleasant atmosphere in general.
Valerie Luckstone
Dance With Me SoHo is an exceptional place. Filled with laughter, encouragement, and warmth, the energy in the studio is inviting whether you are an experienced dancer or just a fan. My daughter attended a fantastic seminar given by Tony and Maks - the owners and two of the resident coaches at the studio. It was her first time dancing since a car accident left her with a serious back injury two years ago. Both Tony and Maks personally welcomed her back to dancing - and she hasn't stopped smiling since then! From grandparents to 8 year olds, this studio has something for everyone. Whether you want to learn to dance for a social event or you're interested in ballroom competition, Dance with Me can guide you to your goal. The instructors are wonderful, talented people. The front desk staff couldn't be nicer or more accommodating. And the studio manager goes out of his way to make sure everyone who spends time there is happy and satisfied. This studio gets a "10" out of "10." So happy we found it!
Nikki Klareich
I never danced or even liked dancing until I started dancing at Dance w Me SoHo. After my first lesson I was hooked, and still am. When I started I was 6 months into recovering from major back surgery as a result from a car accident. Now 2 year later I feel amazing and I owe it all to dancing and the supportive people at the studio. All my teachers have been and still are so encouraging, patient and nurturing. I would never think I'd be capable of doing what I'm able to do today!
Besides physically, dancing has definitely helped me come out of my shell. The teachers have helped me to find confidence in myself, which is amazing!
For anyone interested in trying dance this is the studio to go too. Every instructor is so talented and knowledgeable. Everyone from management to instructors to students are so friendly and welcoming. Dancing in thus studio is definitely good for the body, mind and the soul.

From the moment I stepped into the Dance With Me Soho Studio I felt like I was home. The studio is Spacious and homey with attractive decor. The receptionists and managerial staff are warm and welcoming and greet everyone by name.
I had been dancing at another studio but nothing could compare to the feeling I had from the moment I stepped into this studio. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient. Each lesson guide is prepared especially for your needs and wants. If given the opportunity you can dance with any of the other instructors and feel just as comfortable. They offer different group classes and weekly practice parties. Owned by Maks and Tony from Dancing with the Stars this studio is becoming one of the best studios around. I am proud to be part of the Dance with Me Family. I could dance there forever.
Ted Boesky
In the short time that I have been involved with Dance With Me Soho, I have participated in activities I had never even dreamed possible. For example, I performed a dance routine in front of an audience of hundreds of people (including my very proud mother) at the Manhattan Center on West 34th Street as part of a dynamic student showcase entitled Ballroom on Broadway. I have also competed in several dance competitions, and even won a few medals! My instructor, Teresa, has been my greatest source of inspiration. She is an amazing teacher who explains technique and patterns in such a way that I understand them in my mind as well as my body. Initially, I was only interested in learning salsa. Today, however, I am studying no less than eight dances, including the waltz, tango, fox trot and merengue. For so many reasons, I am grateful for having found Dance With Me Soho. This studio has been a source of great inspiration and fulfillment, and has served as a joyful oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of a sometimes-callous New York. I now fully expect to be dancing the rest of my life. Hopefully, this means a lifetime of wonderful experiences at Dance With Me Soho.
