Reviews of Dance Fusion Studios (Dance School)

Victoria McCaughan

I’ve tried and given up on adult ballet classes before because they didn’t feel geared to adults. The teachers here are absolutely incredible. I went from going to a single ballet class to being there 4 nights a week taking every class I can. I LOVE this studio. I don’t live anywhere near this place and I do a combination of bussing and walking for an hour to get there!

This studio is fantastic! I have been dancing here on and off for almost 10 years. The adult program is great. I love the flexibility of being able to drop in to any class depending on your schedule. It makes it easy to try out something new without having to make a big commitment. The adult program has many different styles and levels which makes it perfect for anyone no matter your dance experience, fitness level, or age. Everyone (including men!) will find their fit at this amazing studio. My kids are now in the youth program and absolutely love it. The teachers are great, the classes are fun, and they've made new friends - including the many boys that attend this studio.

Don't waste your money. I bought a Groupon and called them to find out when to come. They never answered the phone. I called for weeks, sent emails. Finally I just went to the address just before class start-time as indicated on the website and wouldn't you know, there was no business there. Just a sign in the window of another unrelated business. Nice website and Groupon offer does not equate a legitimate business. Beware!!! At least Groupon refunded my purchase.

Great studio for adult dance education at all levels!

Ottawa is so lucky to have such an amazing studio! This is one of the few schools that offers a variety of dance styles at different levels for adults. You can try new dance styles without the intimidation of being along side advanced dancers. The teachers are so caring and supportive while also challenging you to maximize your success. Also, since there are many levels offered, there is room to grow and advance! I never thought, as an adult, I'd be able to dance on pointe...yet, my teacher got me there! Aside from how useful it is that the adult classes are drop in (sometimes the baby sitter can't make it!), the class runs even if there is only one student; I don't have to worry about a class being cancelled because not enough people showed up. I am so lucky to be able to dance again alongside great teachers and friendly dancers. :)

The best, friendliest place for dancers - experienced or new! I've been to a couple studios in the area and this is the only one that truly caters to adult dancers who want to work on their skills or just come out and have a good time. You're never too old to dance - I highly recommend giving them a try.

I bought a Groupon for Dance Fusion about a year ago, and have been a regular ever since. I had previously danced at a number of different studios in Ottawa, but Dance Fusion totally won me over. The drop-in schedule (as opposed to having to register for a semester of classes) is wonderful for my busy/unpredictable schedule, and the multiple levels of classes for each style make it possible to constantly be improving my technique. Plus, the studio has a great vibe. The other dancers and all the instructors/staff are warm, welcoming, and supportive. What more could you ask for in a studio?!

You have to try this studio! Want a casual drop in for you? Perfect. Want a relaxed space where your child can learn without the pressure of perfection. Done. I've known the owners for years and have been dancing with Dance Fusion Studios for a while now. I love how affordable, flexible and fun this space is. Seriously- go try it out!

This is a great studio. I hadn't danced highland in over 25 years, and was nervous to try again. They have classes for all levels, and the instructors, as well as the other students, are so friendly, inviting, and non-judgemental. I'm truly enjoying dancing again thanks to this studio. It is also on a drop in basis, which is perfect for me as a busy parent because I'm not paying for classes that I don't attend.

This studio deserves more than the 5 stars that I am able to give them as a review! I started attending classes in April 2011 and it took no time at all to feel welcomed by teachers and students alike! The studio has an amazing vibe, and everyone here is so helpful, warm and encouraging. The two major things that attracted me here (and that made me stick around!) are the drop in nature of the adult classes and the mentally that every "body" can dance. At DFS, there is no stigma that you need to have the perfect "ballerina body" in order to dance. Anybody can take a class and learn how to dance - young or old, regardless of size, height, strength, flexibility, etc... Also, adulting can be hard, and it makes committing to things a pain. No need to feel bad if you can't make it to class for a few weeks, as all classes are drop in and you only pay for the classes you attend! All of the classes are taught by amazing teachers that will help you achieve your goals and get a great workout in a stress-free and relaxed environment while still being very professional. The teachers work hard to make sure your experience is as great as it could possibly be. Whether you've never danced before, you're itching to get back into dance after a long absence, or you've been dancing forever and are just looking for some extra classes on a more flexible basis, Dance Fusion is the place for you! I definitely recommend trying out classes here! Don't be afraid or intimidated to drop in solo or with a few friends, everyone at the studio is super welcoming! The studio tends to attract some amazing people - I've met some of the people I now consider to be my closest friends right here at DFS. Most teachers are bilingual and can give instructions in English or French and are excellent at adapting exercises to different levels and needs. I can't personally speak about my experiences with the youth program as I do not have children to enroll (although my imaginary future children will definitely all try classes here!), but a few of my friends are proud DFS dance parents and they could not ask for a better atmosphere for their kids to learn dance and movement in a safe, friendly and stress free environment! I can also attest to the awesomeness of the kids that take classes at the studio! They're all super friendly and accepting of everyone, truly some great kids! Basically, this place is all sorts of awesome and you should definitely drop in for a class! :)
