Dance With Me Midtown — Attraction in New York

Dance With Me Midtown definitely has something for everyone! Whatever your goal may be, the talented and caring management and staff will work tirelessly to meet and exceed your expectations in every way. My reason for turning to them was to get into shape because I find gyms extremely boring and I stop going after about two weeks. Dance provides high intensity aerobic exercise, strengthens the core and tones muscles like no other form of exercise while being social and extremely enjoyable at the same time. I was going through a very difficult divorce when I first started taking lessons and I often felt extremely stressed out and upset. I can honestly say that I am not sure how I would have pulled through the most difficult time in my life without the love and support that I received from my DWM family. No matter what your troubles may be, as soon as you walk through the doors of this elegantly decorated studio and immerse yourself in the glamorous ballroom atmosphere among the welcoming and truly caring staff all becomes good in the world again. Now my previous stresses are gone and I have emerged pretty unscathed, a lot of which I owe to DWM. Due to the efforts of amazingly talented instructors my dancing has gone from a mere form of exercise (having absolutely no dance experience myself) to the competitive level. I am a cardiac anesthesiologist so needless to say my job is extremely demanding and stressful. Dance provides me with an escape that I believe couldn't be matched by any other activity and I couldn't even imagine life without it anymore. Dance With Me Midtown caters to a vast array of students of any age and ability. The management and instructors are extremely sensitive to the needs of the individual student and always create a comfortable environment for each student to meet their goals and express themselves. The friendly instructors at DWM have a special ability to help you open up and shed your inhibitions, gain confidence and improve your self-esteem. There's so much more I can say about just how wonderful this place is but nobody has the time of energy to keep reading. My advice?...go see for yourself! It's a life-changing experience and I guarantee you will...

I can't say enough good things about DWMM, but I wish I found this place sooner!! It all started when I first came to the city back in the fall and I was pursuing different hobbies. I was always interested in ballroom dance, but never really pursued it that much, except for in college.

I first attended a group class, since DWMM has classes every day of the week and it's nice that they're at the same time too! It took me a while for dance to grow on me and really get good. But the instructors and everyone who not only works here, but who dances here is wonderful! I have Srna and Milijan who are both amazing at what they do and are very funny and caring. Mariam who works at the front desk is an absolute sweetheart!! Everyone is so supportive of each other and fun to talk to, this really became my second family ❤️

DWMM even invited me to come watch their Nationals competition in December, which was Winter Ball ❄️ I was so sad I couldn't compete, but I wasn't dancing long enough and they wanted to make sure I was totally prepared.

When I had to take a break from dance and couldn't dance for a while, my instructor called me just to check in on me and see how I was doing. As I wasn't dancing I felt like something was missing and I just wasn't the same person (as cliche as that might sound)!

Now I've just finished competing in my 1st ever dance competition winning 2nd place 2x in the Championship rounds!! They have a gala, theme for the competition, and it's a whole experience 😍 The competitions all have different themes. This one was 50's.

I always wanted to have something be my thing and devote all my time and energy into it and compete, and now I finally...

I can't say enough good things about the teachers and staff. Mariam is wonderful upon the first introduction and she is always so friendly when I come in.

I started with Anna as my instructor and Miljan was added to supplement. When Anna departed, Srna came on and with her and Miljan I feel very supported with my endeavor to learn dancing.

I've been going for about a year. I've learned way more than anticipated.

Miljan and Srna are also very patient and I need it. Some days are better than others and when I forget what I'm doing they gently remind me and will rewind as many times as needed until I get it down.

I'd recommend coming in for a into lesson and group class if you're on the fence. The group classes are always interesting. I will warn anyone Monday's are the intermediate class so, unless you've got prior dance history, you may wanna skip. That class is hard!

The studio is also beautiful. Being in a program you are able to go watch the dance competitions and the studio puts on various activities each month. Some are included others are an extra cost.

While this is definitely a pricy hobby, it's something I can take with me anywhere and it's a...
