I just started taking dance lessons a few weeks ago, but feel I've learned so much already. My instructor, Vitalii, is patient, kind, and makes learning fun. I've always wanted to learn ballroom dance and am so glad I finally signed up. Dancing is great exercise too! I highly recommend this dance studio, you won't be disappointed.

My husband & I wanted to improve our dancing skills and were also looking for something to do out of the ordinary, so we signed up for a few classes. Our dance instructor, Krystyna, was amazing! She was so patient with us and made class fun. So, we signed up for several lessons. Each time we walked in to the studio we were greeted and the atmosphere is professional yet not rigid. We learned a lot of Latin moves in a short time! I'd highly recommend!

FADS-Chesapeake East is truly a gem for anyone looking to explore or deepen their love for dance. I started as a true beginner with the intent of taking a few lessons to learn something new and here it is 9 months later-and still learning new things!
From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a sense of warmth and belonging that instantly puts you at ease. The dynamic duo dance instructors-Vitalii and Krystyna-are not only incredibly skilled and knowledgeable in their craft but also possess a rare combination of patience and understanding that makes every student feel valued, no matter their experience level.
Whether you’re a beginner finding your rhythm or an advanced dancer refining your craft, their guidance is tailored to your needs.
But what truly sets this studio apart is the encouragement that flows through every class, lesson and practice party. Mistakes are seen as opportunities to grow, and every small victory is celebrated.
Vitalii and Krystyna have created an atmosphere that is vibrant, diverse, filled with energy and camaraderie; an environment where you can thrive and feel safe and inspired to push your limits. It’s more than just a place to learn dance—it’s a community. Highly recommend this studio!
