My husband and I went here to have our first dance for our wedding choreographed and they did not disappoint! Vince and Erica are both phenomenal dance teachers and are super personable. They put so much effort into choreographing a special dance for us and took their time with us during each dance class which says a lot because my husband and I are not dancers! We had a blast learning and performing our dance with them and at our wedding. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

What a great experience for my daughter who was a student for over five years at Velocity. Vince and Erica along with the rest of their staff and assistants were always fun and professional.

Great dance studio. I've been a dancer all my life so I'm a bit picky when it comes to dance studios. When it was time to find a studio for my kids we chose Velocity in a heart beat! Talented studio with wonderful teachers.
