Sydney was an AMAZING instructor! She made us feel comfortable to mess up, ask questions, be ourselves, have fun! We love everything about it her! Sydney explained and communicated everything so well. We learned posture, marching, rocking, counting, basic steps of bachata and salsa, and how to spin each other. I learned how to follow and let my bf lead lol! It was such a great time. Clean inviting studio space. Loved all of it and receptionist has so friendly helping me with everything leading up to the appointment and welcoming our arrival! Thank you guys for the best first impression I’ve seen a studio have. As a native new Yorker who’s taken multiple dance classes and visited studios, this was truly impressive!

I finally decided to follow my dance dream and at Dance with me midtown I found the best dance studio I could ask for. I have been training with Alejandro for 8 months now and he is wonderful; he is super skilled, friendly and professional at the same time. The entire staff is amazing, I have been also training with Danai and she is a superstar, she is an amazing dancer and I am very lucky to be able to learn some dancing skills also from her. Hailey, that is at the front desk, is super sweet, welcoming and always on top of everything; she is a powerful dancer her self and gives some amazing group classes here and there. If you are looking for the best dance studio and a friendly, family like environment, look no further!!

It has been so wonderful to dance at this studio and to plan our special dance with Syndey! She choreographed an absolutely beautiful dance that met our goals and was so fun to learn and practice each time! I highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for an instructor who will make their dance experience fun yet so worthwhile! I can’t wait to check out more of their group classes and socials, which comes with the private lessons.

I love love love love my classes here with Danai. She’s the best teacher in the world. Very professional, attentive, fun . I came in at different times, mornings, late nights, she always gives you a 100%. Very vibrant personality . Every lesson is something new and interesting. A true high professional. Best studio and experience.
My second favorite is Alejandro. If you want to just have fun and just enjoy / learn social skills dancing he is the best.

And our Thursday unwind streching class is just my obsession.
Thank you 🤗

Wesley was an amazing teacher. We booked two back-to-back sessions for our wedding dance etc. Wesley was not just a patient, talented teacher, he took time to get to know us as a couple and used that to help us connect and feel comfortable not just dancing but enjoying each other in the process. We were surprised at the emotions we felt as we danced.
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 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 got my wish ❤️

My fiancée and I had such a wonderful experience at DWM midtown and we were so lucky to have gotten Ana as our teacher. She is an incredible dancer, so much fun and has a great sense of humor. If you are reading this and searching for a studio and instructor to help you prepare for your wedding dance, look no further. I am a horrible dancer and am as stiff as a plank of wood, but Ana was very patient and gave practical, actionable tips that made the whole experience a blast and has me so excited for my first dance. We will absolutely be returning after our wedding to learn some more dances from Ana! Thank you, Ana!!

I've been with Dance With Me for 3 and a 1/2 years now. I started at another of their studios but ended up following my instructors to Midtown. I love the studio, the staff, the instructors, and my fellow students. Can't say enough good things about them. They've truly become my DWM family ... the friendships I've made and the fun we have, along with taking lessons and competing, has truly made me happier than I've ever been.

New students start with our $49 intro special, which includes a private lesson + a group class/ or an invitation to our next social party. We'll walk you through the options in person at your intro, and you won't be asked to commit to anything that day.
Yes — and we're built for it. We're a two-minute walk from Grand Central, Bryant Park and the Garment District, so we host a lot of office groups: team offsites, holiday parties, summer socials, and company events for people who'd never taken a dance class before. We also run bachelorette and bachelor parties, birthdays and anniversary groups. A typical session runs is built around whatever you want — a salsa crash course, a short choreographed routine everyone learns together, or just a genuinely fun hour on the floor. Call 212.837.8111 with your date, group size and what you're celebrating.
Yes — it's one of the best things about this location. We're steps from Grand Central, Bryant Park, Herald Square and the Port Authority Bus Terminal, on the [A/C/E, N/Q/R/W and 1/2/3] lines, which makes us a realistic lunch-break session or an evening wind-down before your commute home rather than a second trip out of the house. We teach private lessons throughout the day from 12PM, not just in the evening, and daytime slots are usually easier to book. Call 212.837.8111 and tell us what your week looks like.
No, you do not need a partner to take private dance lessons or group classes at Dance With Me Midtown. During private lessons, you will partner up and dance one-on-one with your certified professional instructor. In our social group dance classes, we frequently rotate partners, giving everyone an engaging environment to practice leading, following, and connecting with different dancers.
Yes, Dance With Me Midtown specializes in beginner dance classes for adults with zero prior experience. Our social dance lessons and introductory programs are built for real people with real lives. Our expert instructors break down fundamental footwork, timing, posture, and rhythm step-by-step so you can feel instantly comfortable and confident on the dance floor.
Working professionals, several of whom compete and coach Pro-Am. Danai Avloniti manages the studio and teaches — students describe morning lessons, late-night lessons and "every lesson something new." Alejandro Marquez is always mentioned for both technical coaching and social dancing. They're joined by Sydney, Wesley, Earl, Hailey and the rest of the team. Our instructors hold multiple professional teaching certifications.
We teach every style we list, all year round. What rotates is the monthly group class lineup, so the schedule stays fresh for students who come every week and a wider range of styles gets its turn. Private lessons are never affected — you can book any style, any month, with whichever instructor you like. If you're after a specific dance and don't see it in this month's lineup, it isn't gone. Check the current schedule, or call 212.837.8111 and we'll tell you when it comes around and set you up with a private lesson in the meantime.
Both. Midtown runs the most technical group program in our network — International Latin at intermediate and advanced levels, International Standard, and a dedicated International Latin Choreography class built around musicality, precision, body action, partnering and stage presence for dancers preparing for competitions and showcases. Several of our instructors compete and coach Pro-Am. We also host our own Winter Ball each December — a themed gala and competition where our students compete in Championship rounds. Students have gone from their first lesson to placing at Winter Ball inside a year, and a lot of them describe it as the reason they stuck with dancing. Competition coaching runs primarily through private lessons, so it isn't affected by the monthly group rotation. Call 212.837.8111 and we'll build a program around your goals and the competition calendar.
The main difference is that private lessons offer personalized, one-on-one technique customization, while group classes focus on basic pattern mechanics and social adaptability. Private lessons allow your instructor to move at your exact pace and craft unique choreography. Group dance classes are dynamic, community-focused sessions perfect for mastering rhythms, building muscle memory, and meeting new friends.
Wear comfortable, form-fitting clothing that lets you move freely — business casual works fine if you're coming from the office. For footwear, the rule is smooth sole: leather-soled dress shoes, character shoes or proper dance shoes. Avoid sneakers and rubber-soled shoes, which stick to the hardwood floor and can strain your knees or ankles during turns. If you're wearing heels, block heels are safer than sharp stilettos. You don't need to buy dance shoes to start — most people begin in something already in their closet.
Most people feel comfortable leading or following a basic step within three to five lessons, and can hold their own at a wedding or a social party after about six to eight weeks of consistent classes. Real technique, styling and musicality take months to years — that's the part people stay for, and several of our students have been dancing here for three, five, eight years. If you have a fixed deadline like a wedding, tell us the date at your first visit and we'll build the plan backwards from it.
Dance With Me Midtown offers expert training across ballroom, Latin and social styles: American Smooth: Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz American Rhythm: Cha-Cha, Rumba, East Coast Swing, Bolero, Mambo International Latin: Cha-Cha, Samba, Rumba, Paso Doble, Jive International Standard: Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, Quickstep Social & Club: Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Hustle, West Coast Swing, Line Dancing, and Colombian Cali-style Salsa Dance fitness: Move & Groove, plus stretching and conditioning Every one of these is available as a private lesson at any time. Our group lineup rotates monthly, so which styles are running in group format changes — check this month's schedule, or call 212.837.8111 to ask when a particular style comes around.
Most couples need between 5 to 10 private wedding dance lessons to look polished, feel relaxed, and move confidently during their first dance. If you are looking for simple comfort with fundamental rhythm, timing, and a clean entrance and exit, 5 to 7 lessons are ideal. If you desire custom choreography fully tailored to your specific song, dress style, and a grand finale, a package of 10 or more lessons is highly recommended.
Couples should ideally start taking wedding dance lessons 3 to 6 months before their wedding date. Beginning early removes unnecessary stress from your final weeks of planning and ensures your choreography is committed to muscle memory, so you can focus completely on each other in the moment. Tell us the venue, the size and surface of the dance floor, and what you're wearing — a long train, a tight bustle or a small Manhattan floor each change what choreography actually works on the night. We also choreograph father-daughter, mother-son and wedding party dances.
It's one of the most common reasons couples book with us. A private lesson is fifty minutes of learning something together that neither of you is already good at — better company than another dinner. And we're in the middle of Midtown, so you can build an evening around it with the restaurants, theaters and bars right outside. Plenty of couples book a standing weekly or biweekly slot. No experience needed on either side, and you don't need to be equally good.
You can reach the Dance With Me Midtown studio directly by calling 212.837.8111 or by visiting our website to register online. Our facility features an elite team of certified instructors, flexible scheduling, and custom adult dance programs tailored to your personal goals, pace, and lifestyle.
