My husband and I began taking dance lessons with Robert at Capital Ballroom Dance Studio right after we got engaged. I have always loved dancing and my husband was game to give it a shot. We started out learning the fox trot and shag. Robert choreographed a beautiful "first dance" foxtrot for us to do at our wedding reception. We both found him very easy to work with and he was very agreeable about changing moves around or adding flourishes that we (I) thought would look great. I have watched our wedding DVD several times and still love watching our "first dance." We have now been married for 3 months and are still taking lessons from Robert...we've now moved on to the viennese waltz and are loving it. Overall, we've found that dance lessons are a fantastic way to keep doing something exciting in our relationship. The lessons are also a pretty good workout. We are really enjoying being able to "show off" a bit at social engagements! Finally, we have had a great time getting to know Robert and think that he has been a fantastic teacher over the past year that we have known him!!! ...read more

If I could give this dance studio a ZERO star rating, I would. We started taking dance lessons for our wedding. For a while, we really enjoyed the experience. Robert was amiable, accommodating, and patient. Unfortunately, our sessions were abruptly ended when Robert was demonstrating a move with a female teacher and I saw her hand graze over and behind her head. I said "this may sound stupid, but I don't want to mess up my hair on my wedding day." Robert's disposition completely changed and he told the lady instructor, "I don't give a s*!t what they do with their hands" and he would no longer be choreographing the rest of our dance and that she would need to. After that, he said we should leave and that we could come back the following week. I told him that I was completely and utterly appalled at his behavior and lack of professionalism and that we would not be coming back at all. His answering machine says "dance is fun." Dance is NOT FUN when the clients leave appalled and in tears. ...read more
