I've been renting space here a few times and each time was smooth booking with the owner Dorothy. I was able to call her for assistance and enjoyed the large space. Always received great customer service from them.

We started Hip Hop and Ballet back in Feb 2021. We are very pleased with the professionalism by Owner/instructor Dorothy and all her staff. They are very good with all the kids and parents and make the studio a fun, loving environment for each family. My niece always looks forward to dance and has come a long way, since her first day. I highly recommend Dance Charade Studio.

We booked private dance lessons with Dorothy for our wedding! I literally cannot stress enough how overlooked the first dance is for most couples. In my extensive experience as a wedding guest, it is easily the most awkward part of the reception to witness two people shuffle around a dance floor for 2-3min with not one sense of rhythm between them. No one wants to ruin the party spirit because you cant even do a dip without dropping your bride.
Having a coordinated first dance was so helpful, took the overthinking right out of it for us. Plus Dorothy really listened and took time to choreographed
