Harry and I took dance lesson 1 month prior to our wedding. With such a short of time to work with, we we’re worried we wouldn’t be able to put together and learn the moves for our first dance. Mr. ED is AMAZING, very patient especially with beginners like us, will make you feel comfortable the whole time, he choreographed a beautiful n unique dance for us and he works with our schedule at all times… HE is our dance-​angel sent from the heavens to save our first dance HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM… Thank you for everything, we both have a great time learning something new together and it was an amazing experience.

We came here to learn our first dance for our wedding and Ed did not disappoint. We both don’t have any dance background and I only had an idea of a dance I wanted that I saw on you tube. He is very committed to doing everything he can to put together the best first dance possible. He listened to what we wanted and worked with our very busy schedules. He was very accommodating and even stayed extra when we needed more help. I highly recommend Nix and Ed for your first dance.

My fiancé and I took dance lessons with Ed to learn a choreographed routine for our first dance. With absolutely no dance experience, we were wary about how it would go. We were THRILLED with the experience! Ed was very patient, encouraging, and so fun! It was a great experience for the both of us and we always left smiling, looking forward to our next lesson. Ed and Juliet made the entire experience easy and were always accommodating to fit our schedule. I really can’t say enough about how enjoyable the experience was!

This review is WAY overdue, sorry! My now husband & I decided last minute that we wanted to do a choreographed ballroom number for our first dance at our wedding reception. With less than a month left before the wedding, I figured we might be able to find a place to teach us some basic steps & maybe a cool entrance (neither of us had any ballroom experience). SO glad we found Ed & Nix Performing Arts Center! He choreographed an entire dance for us & he was so easy to work with. He was able to accommodate our schedules & even worked with us a little extra to make sure our dance was perfect… and it was! A year later & guests still remember our first dance!

My fiancé wanted to do something different for our first dance than the usual swaying on the dance floor for an entire song. So she searched Unilocal and found Nix Performing Arts. We did a trial run with Ed and loved it. 10 lessons later we were ready for our big day. The lessons were an hour a day every Sunday. Ed was very easy to work with. He was able to accommodate any schedule changes we had. Ed did a wonderful job choreographing a dance for us and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. Ed’s wife, Juliette, was also a pleasure to work with. We scheduled the dance lessons with her. Also, thank you, to Stephanie, for editing our first dance song for us. We highly recommend Nix Performing Arts Center to anyone looking for a dance lesson.

Me and my Wife came here knowing nothing about dance but wanting to learn a little bit for our first dance for our wedding. I was hesitant at first but Ed worked with us and was very helpful, kind and patient throughout the whole process. We basically gave him a song that we wanted and he helped us choreograph the routine within a 2 month span. Ed worked with us step by step and I found it very enjoyable and fun even though I normally hate to dance. He was very accomadating with our schedule and was able to reschedule with any last minute conflicts. We were able to pull off our amazing first dance at our wedding perfectly and me and my wife couldn’t be any happier. He really cares about the couple and the dance and will spend extra time after the private lesson if need be to make sure you have it perfected for your performance.

My husband and I chose this place to learn a choreographed ballroom dance. I was a little wary of taking dance classes before, because I didn’t want to be taught by a demanding instructor who required perfection. I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to learn from our dance teacher, Ed. He was very patient and taught us our entire choreography within 3 classes.
They were very accommodating to our busy work schedules and were able to meet us at our convenience. We were also able to reschedule lessons without any problems.
It was very exciting to learn from instructors who have had over 35 years of experience in the art of dance. I feel very confident that our dance will be nearly perfect.

My fiancé & I were looking for an instructor to teach us the Waltz to perform at our wedding. We contacted Ed and he explained how ballroom dancing is his specialty especially with weddings. We decided to take our first lesson and we were very happy we chose him. We learned so much in our first hour and his coaching is very informative and he makes you feel comfortable. We decided to sign up for a 10 hour package because we are convinced that it will make our dance a special one. We highly recommend to any couple looking to learn ballroom dance or any type of dance to contact Ed or Juliet.

For a company that’s been around for over 10 years, they sure are unorganized!!! I don’t know how they made it this long???
Purchased a groupon and was surprised to find that the «fine print» on the Groupon failed to mention the $ 20 registration fee that you need to pay to sign up for a class. $ 20 on a $ 45 class is pretty steep if you ask me. I think they should have at least had the courtesy to mention it in the fine print.
They were good at collecting my registration fee and redeeming the groupon. What they failed to do is register my daughter for the class. I would have to go early before every class and ask if she had been registered yet. Nope. Lost registrations must be a common occurance there because she never remembered me and I had to explain who i was and my situation over and over.
Even better? They told me to go to a class that didn’t even exist. Luckily i called before the class started just to be safe. I guess not enough students registered for the class so it was cancelled. Would have been nice if they called to inform me the class was cancelled, but how could they since they never actually registered my daughter for the class???
The only reason i’m giving them 2 stars instead of 1 is because my daughter really enjoyed the teacher and the class.
…although…i guess a good thing is that i can keep using the «you lost my regsistration» line indefinitely until they figure it out? we will never need to pay for another class since they never remember us anyway. scary.

I enrolled my daughter in ballet here, although the teacher was nice I am unsure why my daughter was completely disregarded as a student. The teacher and the coordinator Juliette kept forgetting that my daughter existed and failed to inform us when classes were changed or cancelled. This happened 6 times in a few months. I understand that it was around Thanksgiving and Christmas time, but fighting traffic to get there was difficult and it was annoying showing up only to discover class was cancelled. Juliette kept offering me free make-​up classes each time that she forgot to call us, but we were unable to come on Tuesdays, and she ended up loosing count anyways.
As for the ballet class. Class schedule is very limited. The teacher was very good. But the class is not divided up by age, so the beginning 5 yr olds are in the same class as the beginning 11 yr olds. So no distinct skills are taught to the older children. It seems that the schools priority is in hip-​hop and not in ballet. I suggest ballet elsewhere if that is what your child is mainly interested in.
