Albany Ballroom Social Dance Studio

Michèle at Albany Ballroom and Social Dance Studio is wonderful to work with! She is very professional, friendly, and a calming presence at what can be a stressful time for a couple. Michèle was always flexible in scheduling our private dance lessons as we had busy schedules and she did her best to accommodate our first choice time slots. A word of advice for brides-to-be: Schedule you dance lessons AT LEAST 3-4 months prior to your wedding and farther ahead if it is peak wedding season! It can take awhile to get comfortable with dancing and we were surprised by just how difficult learning to dance was for us (neither of us had any previous experience). Overall I give Michèle and Albany Ballroon Social Dance Studio 5 out of 5 stars!!! It was great to work with Michèle!

My husband and I started taking dance lessons with Michele at Albany Ballroom Social Dance Studio in February for our June wedding. From the beginning Michele was awesome and very understanding. She took the time to listen to concerns that we had and fix them and she told us about concerns that she had and helped us to fix any problems. She teaches at a pace that works for you and your partner. She is not one of those strict dance instructors as my husband and I had A LOT of fun at every lesson. We looked forward to seeing Michele every other week for our lesson and we thorougholy enjoyed every lesson that we had with her. My sister-in-law and her fiance just started lessons with Michele for their October wedding because we told them how great she was. I highly recommend taking lessons from Michele!!

Michele at the Albany Ballroom Dance Studio is a phenomenal dance instructor! My husband and I were recently married this past June and decided to take dance lessons from Michele so that our first dance at our wedding could be extra special. Michele is a natural when communicating with her students about dance because she made us feel comfortable and relaxed, works at your own pace, and always keeps a positive attitude! Given our lack of dance experience, Michele was very patient and understanding. I would highly recommend the Albany Ballroom Dance studio to any couple looking to create a distinctive, fun, and memorable first dance experience! Thanks so much Michele!

This was the best thing ever. We had no time 1 month to get my Husband to dance who can not dance for our wedding in Europe. To this day people talk about our amazing dance. ANd we had so muh fun doing it together. A great touch to any wedding !!!

We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into when we scheduled dance lessons with Michele. However, we couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome. A professional first dance together is priceless. The money and time we put into our dance was 100% worth it, as our dance surprised our guests and gave us a great memory from the wedding. I would highly recommend all couples getting married take lessons from Michele! She was professional, fun and made the process very unintimidating.

Michelle was very easy to work with and made us feel comfortable on the dance floor! Our first dance turned out great thanks to her!

We had such a great time! Michele was very patient and made us feel comfortable and confident. Our wedding dance was a huge hit! Thank you Michele for all your help and we're sure to be back to learn some more Swing dancing. :)

Working with Albany Ballroom was a great experience. The professionalism and qualilty of music and dance was beyond compare. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone who is interested in having a memorable first dance or just some memorable dance fun. Consider Albany Ballroom, you won't be sorry.

We absolutely loved taking lessons at Albany Ballroom! Michelle is a fantastic teacher and so much fun to work with! The dance was beautifully planned by Michelle and a huge hit at the reception! I can't imagine not having that dance, it was once in a life time perfect..Thanks to Albany Ballroom! Thanks so much Michelle! We hope to take lessons again soon just for fun! And the pics u posted of us show what a great teacher you are! See you soon!

Michelle was a fantastic instructor. She made our lessons fun. We were amazed at how much we looked forward to them each week. Not only did she help us to look amazing for our first dance, but helped us learn dance skills and a way to enjoy being together that we'll enjoy for a lifetime!!

Michele at Albany Ballroom was an awesome teacher. My husband and I signed up for lessons in April for our July 30th wedding. We received 12 lessons for the price of 10. We were looking to learn dance steps that would work well with our wedding song, and Michele did exactly that! Every lesson we learned something new and continued to perfect the steps we already learned. The only suggestion I would have would be to sign up at least 3 months before your wedding date so you have plenty of time to practice and feel confident, also because Michele is such a good teacher she may not always have a convenient time for you to schedule lessons. Overall, we had an awesome experience with Albany Ballroom!!

We weren't interested in spending months learning to dance but instead only wanted to learn a few simple moves for our first dance to look elegant on the dance floor. Our instructor respected this objective and worked with us to develop a few moves within a short period of time. I'm sure we would have looked much better if we had been dedicated to months of practice, but one month at the ballroom was enough to earn us compliment after compliment after we danced on our wedding day.

Great teacher, worked with us to make us feel comfortable with a couple different dances.
