I had been looking for a different surprise birthday gift for my wife, She had always wanted us to learn to dance but I had put it off for years. After speaking with Tatyana I set up our first lesson and told my wife we where going out that night. Upon our arrival she was shocked and very happy. After a fun filled lesson, we decided to continue taking lessons. We are only a few months in at this point but we look forward to our weekly lesson and our night out.I highly recommend The Way To Dance

The Venue was perfect for my daughter’s Sweet Sixteen! Great location and not hard to find. Ms Tatianja was a fabulous host and always communicated well with me. The place is clean, safe and well kept. I will definitely use this space again for another party!

From start to finish. It was great dealing with Tatyana. She was transparent about expectations. We have her an idea for decorations and wowed us with the outcome. If you needed anything l, she was quick to respond. I know where my venue will be from now on.

Tatyana is the BEST dance instructor I have ever had. She is friendly, personal, bubbly and really works with you to help you learn to dance. My fiancé and I are currently taking lessons for our upcoming wedding, and it is amazing how much we have learned in such a short amount of time. We would definitely recommend Tatyana as a dance instructor for any upcoming event you may have.

My husband and I had a great time last Sunday at the Salsa Workshop! We had so much fun learning and practicing the new techniques we learned. Great people and something new for all skill levels. The time flew by! Already looking forward to the March workshop.

I would highly recommend The 2 way Dance. I really appreciate all of Tatyana’s guidance, patience, enthusiasm, and skills she taught us. We learned so much, and have a blast with every session. It was worth the time and money. I am looking forward to trying the salsa dancing next.Denise

Amazing & Fun – These are the words I would use to describe my overall experience with Tatyana teaching me to dance. My daughter’s wedding was scheduled and she had chosen a song for the father/daughter dance. I’m not a dancer and I had never taken dance lessons before. I was incredibly nervous going to a dance class. Tatyana put together the perfect steps for us. After the classes, I was able to dance with my daughter at her wedding with confidence. Tatyana was “very” patient with me and I looked forward coming to every single class. She is so graceful and has a great sense of humor. If you want to learn to dance and have fun at the same time, I absolutely recommend Tatyana.

It started with a Groupon to try it. We had such a fantastic time learning all the dances that we extended. We just finished 16 wks! My husband wasn’t thrilled about dance class, but really enjoys it. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. Now that I’m retired there’s time. Can’t wait to go out dancing when the virus is gone. Dancing has brought us closer if that’s possible after 41 yrs of marriage. I’d recommend Tatyana to everyone. She’s so patient,fun,professional and knows her stuff!! We stepped out of our comfort zone, so can you!!!

As I attended this event, the venue was spacious with beautiful lighting, modern and very well organized. The gathering was well thought out and was a lot of fun. The music and dancing was amazing and not only was I able to try out my new dance moves, I was also able to pick up some additional moves. People were very welcoming and friendly.

Highly recommend The Way 2 Dance Studio. My wife and I are taking a private lesson weekly with Tatyana and we are so glad we found her. We could not dance at all and within a few lessons we are dancing!! Tatyana is very professional and fun. She teaches very well. My wife and I look forward to our weekly lesson and our time together as we learn something new each lesson.

My wife and I starting taking dance lessons from Tatyana in preparation for our daughters upcoming wedding. Since then, we have continued taking more lessons to become better dancers (mostly me) and it is also a great start to a date night. Tatyana is great with breaking down each move, making it seem simple, and providing on-going encouragement as you continue to grow. She is extremely professional and very knowledgeable - and she makes it fun!!! We look forward to more lessons and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Way 2 Dance to everyone looking to expand their dancing skills or to impress your significant other. Thank you Tatyana for making dancing fun!

There is no better dance instructor than Tatyana! I (a novice) asked to learn a difficult dance and to perform an exhibition for my family. I enjoyed Tatyanas instruction and patience and we put on a great performance. I love the dance studio and staff too. Put yourself in The Way 2 Dances hands and truly learn to dance. Thank you Tatyana.

A wonderful place to call your dance home! Each year Tatyana organizes these amazing dance events that bring the dance community together. Shes very passionate about dancing and her students and it shows. Shes been dancing all of her life with some much knowledge to share as a teacher. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to start dancing and being apart of a encouraging dance community.

Learning ballroom dancing has always been on my bucket list. I finally took the leap and after speaking with friends and doing my own research, I was convinced that The Way 2 Dance was the perfect choice for me. I was so impressed with the dedication and professionalism of the staff, with their method of teaching and a combination of private and group lessons packages. Moreover, I quickly was hooked on a variety of dances that the studio has to offer. I eagerly looked forward to my next lesson! Wonderful decision and I am encouraging my son to come to The Way 2 Dance for his wedding First Dance lessons!

This good ol boy from Georgia w/ two left feet surprised his Latino, dance-loving wife of 26 years w/ the most unexpected Christmas gift of all -- Dance Lessons! I was way, way out of my comfort zone, but took three private lessons w/ Tatyana before even giving my wife the gift certificate on Xmas. We just took our first lesson together as a couple and my wife saw the miracles Tatyana work w/ me and I was actually able to lead my wife confidently doing Salsa and Bacchata! Thanks Tatyana for your combination of patience and willingness to gently push me to master the basics. My wife LOVES it and we now have a common hobby that we can pursue as a couple for a long, long time - God willing. Thanks so much Tatyana!

I highly recommend Tatyana as a dance instructor, shes so dedicated, knowledgeable and hardworking. Not to mention her spirit and smile light up any room she walks into. The Way 2 Dance is the most perfect choice for a dance studio, you will be impressed with the professionalism and passion of the staff members, and also the choices of private and group lesson packages. But nothing beats the variety of dances that The Way 2 Dance has to offer, not to mention the excellent prices!

I have been taking group dance lessons and attending special events at The Way 2 Dance for many years! Tatyana and her team always deliver with their high energy, highly accessible dance instruction. Ive learned a lot of good dance technique, and danced with lots of really nice people, thanks to the group lessons at The Way 2 Dance.Also, the events are always top-notch - lots of great entertainment, food, friendly people, and festivities. Dont miss The Way 2 Dances Holiday Showcase every December. Best Christmas party/fund-raising event in the area!Check out The Way 2 Dance, and tell Tatyana that I said that I sent you!

My fiance and I took several dance lessons before our wedding, and had so much fun!! She choreographed our First Dance to the song we chose, and was able to fit our skill level (definitely beginner) while still making it look fantastic. She is a great instructor, very charismatic, and makes you feel comfortable during the lessons. Will definitely return for more classes after the wedding!

For as long as I can remember my husband, Bob, has wanted to learn ballroom dancing but there never seemed to be any time or opportunity. Last June a friend, Linda Bailey, invited us to try Way to Dance. We have been going ever since and really enjoy our time there. Tatyana is a wonderful teacher and a marvelous dancer. We are looking forward to attending a nephews wedding in May and being able to really dance. Thank you Tatyana for all of your guidance and patience with our crazy schedules.

My husband bought me a gift certificate for Christmas 2015. It was for a few lessons for us together. I have loved dancing as long as I can remember. He has hated it for as long as he can remember. We finally scheduled our lessons in August 2016. Neither of us had any idea that this would evolve into a continuous twice a week commitment from purchasing that gift certificate. I am having so much fun learning all of the dances but most of all I am loving that though he may not always admit it he is having fun as well and we are doing this together. Now, with that said - we owe it all to Tatyana. She is the best teacher. She knows her stuff. She knows that people learn differently and shes able to zero in on that and help us both learn the moves. We are even attending the group/party classes on Wednesday evening where each month a new dance is taught. Highly, Highly recommend that you give it a try. So much fun.

After years of sitting on the sidelines watching everyone else have fun, we decided to try ballroom dancing. We have been at it for a year and have enjoyed every minute. Our amazing instructor makes it so fun for us novices. She makes sure we properly learn the way to dance!

My wife and I have been taking lessons for almost two years and we have the time of our lives at The Way 2 Dance. Tatyana is great teacher and she has great patience and long suffering with us. The dance parties are great. We started by just going to the parties and then took some group classes but the private lessons are the best help of all. Most men dont consider dancing for some reason. But, once you get a few lessons under your belt you will be hooked. Its like anything else. I takes practice. Its more fun than golf!!!!!!!

We started dance classes with Tatyana about a month ago for our wedding. She has been such a pleasure to work with and has created a beautiful first dance for my fiancé and I to share on our special day. She does whatever she can to accommodate our schedules and is truly skilled at what she does. I would 100% recommend her!

The Way 2 Dance is the place to come and dance and to make new friends. In the beginning I could not dance at all and now I came a long way. I am getting better with every dance lesson and practicing to perform Hustle in the Summer Showcase. Brian and Tatyana are the best instructors around!

I took group latin dance class with Tatyana, it was fun with very friendly people in the studio. Tatyana is an excellent teacher, she make it easy to learn new steps and she is very thorough and professional. The private class was even better, she has the knack to pinpoint what is missing and what need improvement in ones dancing in an easy way. Of course she is a great dancer that genuinely enjoys teaching and making people feel comfortable no matter what dancing level one is at. Kudos Taty! Great business in Brandon.

My husband and I have been taking dance lessons with The Way 2 Dance for close to two years and now enjoy going to dances and attending weddings. In the past we would participant in a slow dance or two, now we are not afraid to step in and DANCE. It is a great form of exercise and being empty nesters, it gives us something we can enjoy together. We still have a lot to learn, but the learning is FUN! Thank you Tatyana, Brian and Jean.

If you got to this site because you are looking for a place to take lessons and learn ballroom dancing as well as have some of the social experience that goes with it, you can stop looking. The minute you walk in the door the people here gather around you and introduce themselves. There is group and parties and private lessons to choose from. We found them by accident because we havent danced in years, and want to go into retirement being able to again hold our own on the dance floor. We again, have gotten hooked on ballroom dancing and wonder why we ever stopped dancing. Join us. Dancing is so good for you on many levels. Come join us!!

My love for dance started at an early age, I never thought that I had the talent to dance.I grew up falling in love with Peter Gennaro, Tommy Tune and all the dances that was performed in the village coffee houses.The opportunity to start dancing has come late in life but I am doing it, with the help of The Way 2 Dance. I would like to thank Tatyana for allowing me to join her group. There is also Brain, which I need say thank you to also. Because of his patience, it is a pleasure learning ball room dance.

Review №43

I have many great memories of watching my parents dance at wedding receptions. They didn’t have any fancy moves and they basically did a ‘box step’ but to me they looked fancy and connected.George and I have been married 23 years, and George has made it possible for me to stay home and raise our children for the past 17 years.Now that our three children are grown, and we have been traveling more, we find ourselves with many opportunities to get on a dance floor. In March, we were in Curacao and watched from the side as few couples took the floor. It was then that we decided we didn’t want to miss any more chances to thoroughly enjoy outings.Several months back we started at The Way 2 Dance with a few group classes and then eventually decided we would learn a lot more with the inclusion of private lessons. By the time we took our children to Cancun in August, we had learned enough basics of Salsa, the hustle and merengue that we were able to enjoy dancing each night we were there.We are now learning several more dances and intend to keep dancing as long as possible. Each evening we dance, whether it be a lesson, group class or an outing, we connect in a way I believe only possible through dance.

My fiancee and I have been attending weekly classes at Tatiyanas studio for several months now. It was a Groupon that brought us in, but it was the friendliness and attentiveness of Tatiyana and Nathan that kept us coming back. Tatiyana has a keen eye and playful spirit. Private classes with her have challenged our abilities, but weve learned a lot along the way and had a lot of fun doing it. After our wedding, we will still attend group classes to learn a little of other new dances to see what we like. Would definitely recommend to a friend and will continue to return.

My wife, Mary, and I first came to Tatyana and The Way 2 Dance studio 5 years ago in order to have a special dance for our 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration. Tatyanas instruction was amazing; our celebration was a wonderful event; and our Waltz to Moon River was the highlight of the party! We have continued with Tatyana and The Way to Dance studio for the past five years not only because of the quality of the instruction she provides but also because of the wonderful group of people we have met through dancing.Tatyana is a wonderful instructor! If you are a beginner and want to learn to dance or a more advanced dancer and want to brush up on a few moves, Tatyana and The Way to Dance studio is the place to be!!

My daughter and I took dance lessons with Tatyana at the Way 2 Dance studio (Brandon, FL) in preparation for our Dad & Daughter dance at her wedding. The experience was amazing and awesome...to say the least. First of all, my daughter lives in another state so Tatyana had to be flexible with our schedule--even taking time away from her own family who was visiting at the time. My daughter had sent Tatyana the montage of songs (from Van Morrison to MC Hammer to Rap artists I dont even know and ending with Frank Sinatra) and she timed and choreographed every move for us so that we had seamless transitions from song to song. Tatyana not only helped us think about creative ways for us to enjoy dancing together but also thought about adding entertainment value for our wedding guests. This was a day my daughter and I thought and talked about sharing for a long time and Tatyana at W2D helped make it even more special than either of us could have imagined. Thank you Way 2 Dance!

I purchased the Groupon for $70 worth of 10 salsa, ballroom and swing group dance classes. I emailed on Dec 21 to request a calendar and make reservations. I sent the same message via Facebook on Dec 22, but no response to either message. I finally tried calling on Dec 29, but no answer and left a detailed message. I called again in a couple hours and Tatyana answered the phone, but I was disappointed to learn that it wasnt actually 10 classes (only two per week for a month, which amounts to only 8 classes) and that ballroom and swing werent offered right now. I tried to explain to her that her Groupon is false advertising because it says 10 classes, not up to 10 classes, and that it says salsa, ballroom AND swing, not salsa, ballroom OR swing. She was extremely rude and couldnt explain why she never wrote back to my emails the week before, even though she was able to locate said email in her inbox and couldnt deny receiving it in the first place. It is January 2nd now and Ive just received a return phone call from Tatyana re: my voicemail and she apparently didnt remember that weve spoken already? She claims to pride herself on her customer service, but this customer was less than thrilled with the experience. I will be taking my business elsewhere and recommend that others do the same.

Mike and I decided to take dance lessons several months ago just to have fun. We have not only had fun, but have actually learned several dances and are now getting serious with private lessons from the BEST. Tatyana and Brian helped develop a comfort level that has enabled us to have confidence on the dance floor. After reviewing our ability and dance interest, they structured a dance plan that worked for us. We love attending both the private and group lessons. Group lessons allow us to practice what we have learned as well as meeting other dancers. The Way 2 Dance is the way to go!
