I have been in love with Ballroom dance since I was a little girl, I remember watching competitions on PBS with my Mother... one of my fondest memories with her... I unfortunately never got to dance as a child or a teen... it wasnt until after I became an adult that I really wanted to try ballroom dancing but as life seems to get in the way... I was diagnosed with Cancer and spent years in that battle, but watching dance still brought me joy and comfort... DWTS became a big part of my Cancer Journey as my chemo days were on a Monday so watching the show would always distract me from the discomfort... then I was fortunate to meet some of the dancers on a trip to LA 2 years ago and fell more in love with dance... I moved to LA over a year ago and attended the Grand Opening for DWM here in Sherman Oaks, I was talked into an Intro package, which changed my life... I can not put into words what that first dance lesson meant to me... it was so magical that I started to cry... I actually felt pretty and graceful and I havent felt that way in years... I have been dancing here for over a year now and I cant ever imagine dancing anywhere else, I cant even imagine my life without dance.... DWM Sherman Oaks is now my family... and I mean that... they have supported me thru a lot... and now that my Cancer is back they continue to support me... I can not say enough how wonderful this place is... It truly is my happy place Elena Grinenko and Rib Hillis , the owners are the greatest people I have ever met and I am blessed to call them family! My instructor Jonathan is more than just a teacher he is my life coach, counselor, cheerleader and friend. All the instructors are family and the best in LA, Well, the best anywhere in opinion... Artemi, Adrienne, Lee, Stephen are talented brilliant teachers... the staff here is superb.. very informative and helpful, Susan, Manager and Olivia, front desk, they make you feel like family, taking lessons here was the best thing I ever did... Thank You DWM Sherman Oaks for enriching my life... What a joy it is to dance here! Xx

For many years, I have hoped to find a studio that would perfectly suit my busy lifestyle while being accommodating to my schedule and providing me with a sense of peace and ease, away from an otherwise hectic life! Finally, earlier this year, I stepped into Dance With Me Sherman Oaks and fell in love. Every dance lesson, every instructor, and every creative movement made in this stunning dance studio, brings an extra flutter to my heart! Dance has always been a very important piece of my life. With experience of performing various dances at professional NBA games and on stage as a child, I have always been prone to dance studios but also very particular to who I work with. My detail-oriented and perfectionist nature has been a blessing for me, but also troublesome for many who work with me. I must say, each instructor whom I have had the pleasure of dancing with, has been a perfect fit to my persona! I could not be more thankful for the DWM Team for adhering to my detailed and loving (but slightly crazy?) personality. Jonathan, one of the DWM instructors, has been absolutely amazing in teaching me every beautiful step to creating gorgeous masterpiece dances. Elena, Artemi, Adrienne, Lee, and Susan, others a part of the Dance With Me team have been incredible to work with. I could not be happier! Thank you, Dance With Me Sherman Oaks!

So heres the scoop: I decided to take lessons after a date took me dancing. We got all dressed up, listened to jazz, then he took me to the dance floor. What should have been a romantic evening turned into a steady stream of panic attacks because (Oh sweet mother of all that is good on this planet) I had no idea what I was doing. I was awkward and needy- two things a girl NEVER wants to be, especially on a date. While my date said I was cute, I said, "NOPE! This will not do." I looked up some studios in the area and DWM caught my eye. Next thing I knew, I was in the studio. The people here are amazing. I immediately felt like I was joining a family. Jonathan, my lovely instructor, has been so patient with me and Ive learned so much from him in only a handful of lessons. He caters the lessons to my needs and teaches the lessons in a way I can understand. I have a confidence that I didnt have before and the joy I get out of dancing now is incredible. What started out as a "Hey why not" activity has turned into something I really love and look forward to, thanks to Jonathan and DWM. That date from way-back-when is long gone, but my days on the dance floor are far from over.

Dance With Me Sherman Oaks has the most beautiful and gorgeous ambiance I have ever experienced for a dance studio in Los Angeles! My fair share of traveling the globe over 10 times has given me a plethora of opportunities to check out the best dance studios across the world for my daughter. That being said, the luxury and warmth I feel when I walk into DWMSO is one of the most treasured feelings I cherish. Each person is extremely inviting and friendly, two qualities I hold very highly! I have not been able to come to the studio to dance as often as I would like to with my work schedules, however, the love I see in my childs eyes on her every return from the studio is enough of a reason for me to want to return back to DWMSO often; Not only to watch the creative talent that exudes from there, but for myself in hopes of achieving the same great heights many others have already reached before me.

Had the opportunity to take Ginas Zumba class and It was fantastic!! The energy in the class is so positive and the routines are awesome. You definitely wont regret checking it out. You can pay for a single class or for a package deal. Street parking is usually available. Im definitely looking forward to going back there again.
