Why Start Dancing as an Adult in Midtown?
Choosing to start or continue your dance journey in Midtown Manhattan isn’t just about the convenience of the location—it’s about the lifestyle. At Dance With Me, we understand the unique pressures of the New York professional.
Stress Relief & Mental Clarity:
There is no better way to “unplug” than through rhythmic movement. Dance reduces cortisol and boosts endorphins, providing a mental reset that a gym treadmill simply cannot match.
Networking and Community
Our studio serves as a social hub. You’ll meet fellow professionals, creatives, and enthusiasts, building a community that extends far beyond the dance floor.
Unmatched Accessibility
Located just steps from the Port Authority Bus Terminal and major subway lines (A/C/E, N/Q/R/W, 1/2/3), our Midtown studio is perfectly positioned for a a revitalizing lunch break session, or an evening wind-down before your commute home.
How We Teach: Tailored Programs for Every New Yorker
At Dance With Me Midtown, we don’t just teach steps; we build confidence. Whether you’re looking to master the sophisticated “On2” rhythm for a night out at a Manhattan Latin club or seeking a new social hobby to decompress after work, we have a pathway designed for your goals.
Our Signature Adult Dance Styles
We offer a diverse curriculum designed to satisfy every interest, from the grace of classical styles to the high-energy pulse of street dance.
Ballroom and Social Dancing: The Art of Connection
Ballroom dancing is often divided into the “Smooth” and “Rhythm” categories, each offering different physical and psychological benefits. The American Smooth styles—Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, and Viennese Waltz—emphasize posture, grace, and fluid movement across the floor. These styles are particularly beneficial for NJ professionals seeking to correct the “slumped” posture often associated with prolonged desk work and commuting.
Latin Sizzle: Salsa and Bachata
Latin dance styles are among the most sought-after programs for adults in Bergen County due to their high caloric burn and vibrant social atmosphere. Salsa, characterized by its complex rhythms and African-Caribbean influences, is often taught through “Salsa Shines”—solo footwork patterns—or as a partner dance that emphasizes improvisation and quick decision-making.
Dance Fitness & Body Conditioning
For those motivated primarily by physical transformation, “DanceFit” and “Jazz Cardio” sessions provide a full-body workout that targets the core, glutes, and cardiovascular system. These programs, such as those found at Tribe Body in Ramsey, are marketed as an alternative to the “dance factory” mentality, prioritizing the “joy and artistry” of movement.
Meet Your Midtown Instructors
At Dance With Me Midtown, you’ll learn from a team of certified professionals mentored by Dancing with the Stars champions Maks and Val Chmerkovskiy. Unlike general studios, our instructors combine a 30-year brand pedigree with elite competitive experience to simplify complex Latin rhythms.

I wasn’t sure how my fiancé was going to react to the lessons and after our two hours he booked another session for us he enjoyed it so much! We will continue now with group lessons in our future! Thanks, Wesley!
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 got my wish ❤️
