My dad and I have been taking lessons for three weeks with Evie to craft our “father daughter” dance for my wedding. We have ZERO dance experience, and Evie has created the most perfect routine for our personality and style, and has managed to teach us how to dance in only two lessons! Highly recommend this studio. They are professional, affordable and accessible!

My son LOVES this place he says “it is the best place ever!” He felt shy and scared but the instructors and kids made him feel confident about himself. Their program is super flexible - unlimited classes for monthly cost or just one class per week. Variety of dance styles to choose from. My son loves the circus class and ballroom class as well as tap and ballet. He is asking to also join the hip hop class. The calendar is always fun and posted every month - very social place. You are made to feel welcome and greeted with SMILES! *also offer school break kids care programs! Located in Lakewood Ranch off of main road university avenue.

We are so please with the newest addition to the Dynasty family. The LWR studio has multiple rooms which are perfect for group or individual lessons. The LWR staff are all very knowledgeable and professional. Their addition to the existing program creates a well rounded program that offers a lot of variety.

Wonderful atmosphere and love all the staff and teachers. Have made some great friends and have found a love for dance that I never thought would be possible. Whether you have goals for social dancing, group dance lessons or private lessons, they listen to your needs and help you achieve them.

I have been coming to Dynasty Dance Club for over six years. Sarah Haworth was my first instructor and over the years I have been taught by the most talented, easy to work instructors you can find anywhere. The staff pays attention to technique, makes it fun, and has grown not only due to its reputation but the attention they also devote to special needs kids. I think were fortunate to have this level of instruction here in Sarasota.

We love Dynasty Dance! My daughter started dancing there 2 years ago and we could not be happier with the quality of the instruction, and their passion and commitment to all their students. She has made incredible progress and absolutely loves her partners Maks and Colton. The owners and staff are warm and friendly, always making everyone feel special. My husband and I also took some lessons and thoroughly enjoyed it, Evie is an excellent instructor. I highly recommend Dynasty Dance!

Both my son and I have been dancing at Dynasty for years. Sarah is amazing with all of the kids at the studio, she even gets my shy guy to come out of his shell! I have been dancing with Maks on and off for over a decade and my experience had never been anything less than amazing! From exercise, to competitions, to socializing, Dynasty has something for literally everyone and the entire staff makes everyone feel like a member of the family!

Rachel and Francisco are adorable!! They make you feel at home and so comfortable! Great welcoming atmosphere in the dance studio. We got the wedding package and choreographed our wedding dance (starting as beginners!) and it turned out fantastic! We highly recommend couples to try at least one class whether youve danced together before or not. Very fun!! :)

Our family loves this studio! Our daughter is happy to go to dance practice! The instructors make the classes fun! Francisco and Rachel are the nicest people and their staff is very friendly. Ms. Kim is always there to answer any questions we have. We feel like family when we are there. My husband and I cant wait to start ballroom dancing together. Thank you for having such a great studio!

I love dancing with Sarah and Colton they really help you to understand the moves and they are so passionate. I have been apart of the Dynasty family for about 6 months. I have been dancing virtually for 2 1/2 months now. Maks and Michele have been very helpful in teaching us to dance alone during this time. We have even learned a new dance virtually. I’m so blessed and honored to be apart of this dance family.

My experience at Beyond Dancing has been a life changing one. I was always that guy that would never go to a party because I was always too shy to dance. The combination of private lessons, group lessons and parties was exactly what I needed to become not only a good dancer, but more social. At first, like anything new you take up, I was extremely shy to show up at the dance studio. All of the instructors took their time to talk to me about the dances, techniques, or answer any questions that I had. You get a very good deal on attending the group lessons and parties as you are introduced to many dances you have not tried before. During the parties you can practice all of these to better your dancing or start up a new style. But the real treat came when I signed up for one of their showcases to do a Foxtrot solo, something I had never danced before. I was very hesitant to dance in public, but with great support from my teachers I took on the challenge and it was the best decision I had ever made. As of today I am able to dance most Ballroom and Latin dances and enjoy myself at parties. In many cases now I am the one showing people a little bit of Tango, Waltz, Foxtrot or any of the other dances that are not very common at regular parties. Coming to this studio was one of the best decisions I ever made. It helped with confidence, stress at work and overall mental and physical health. Thanks Rachel, Francisco and the Beyond Dancing team for all you have done for me!

This is a wonderful dance studio! Francisco and Rachel are excellent instructors, they make dancing fun and easy. We went from having 2 left feet to getting compliments on our dancing from people we dont even know! All of the staff are superb at teaching dance. We are so lucky to have found this studio! Thank you all! Melissa & Tony

I have been a pro/am competitive student at Dynasty Dance Clubs for most of eleven years and can attest to the highest quality teachers and professionalism. Besides those necessary attributes, it Is a studio that caters to each students goals whether a social dancer or future professional dancer and all experiences in between. There are programs from the very young to the very mature, and a wonderful program for special needs students. I do know that the teachers at their new location, Lakewood Ranch Dynasty Dance Clubs, Maksym and Sarah Lototskyy owners, and Colton and Michele will bring theIr high standards of teaching and enthusiasm to each and every student and that is why I am pleased to recommend them

My wife and I are complete beginners and were a bit nervous about taking dance lessons. We had Francisco as our instructor and he was patient, funny and made the whole experience enjoyable. We liked him so much as a teacher we booked extra lessons! The other staff is friendly and helpful and always makes us feel welcome. I highly recommend checking out Beyond Dancing!

Awesome studio with fantastic people. Ive been employed with Beyond Dancing for 2 1/2 years now, and I dont see myself anywhere else. I see working with Beyond Dancing as a career, not just a job.Beyond Dancing does their best to make sure that when you walk through the door, you feel at home, comfortable, and have fun! Dancing has showed my students that they can do something fun for a date night, or be able to enjoy themselves in a positive and enjoyable space like Beyond Dancing. Dancing should be fun, fast, and easy. With Beyond Dancing, we can prove that to you!Let us give you a chance to prove that we are your home away from home, with some of the best people you can interact with.

I met Rachel & Francisco 8 years ago at their first location in Nokomis, Fl. From the moment I took my first dance lesson, I knew I was going to be dancing for a long time to come. I havent stopped taking lesson since 2008! My life changed for ever. I truly love my Beyond Dancing family! Ive met wonderful people and created long lasting friendships at the dance studio. I strongly recommend Beyond Dancing to anyone wishing to learn how to dance, desiring to do something fun in a friendly atmosphere. The Beyond Dancing staff are very knowledgeable! Do not wait any longer. You wont regret it!

Beyond Dancing has been the most fabulous experience for our children. We relocated to the area and left a larger dance program that we had spent many years with, we began searching for the right studio and program for our daughters. We were so blessed to have found not only fabulous teaching and training but more important a nurturing caring environment. Rachel and Francisco have developed a very special studio where children can learn dance while also fostering each childs whole self. You can feel the family environment and strong values from the minute you walk in the door. They have very special instructors that possess the same values and passion for dance. Ms. Meredith commitment to the Performing Arts program and its students is heart warming, we are so grateful for you. Tiffany, Leslie, Christine, Lindsey and Sasha you all have made an incredible difference in our childrens lives! Rachel and Francisco we thank you!

Im familiar with the world of dance studios like Fred Astaire, Arthur Murray and the like. My experience having lessons with Francisco were quite pleasant. He was encouraging, supportive, and straight forward in his instruction. And the best part, I did not feel like he was putting the sale and closing moves on a new client above the relationship with me as a person wanting to dance. Integrity, Excellence and Fun. Very nice.

I love Beyond Dancing. I havent enjoyed myself so much in years. Im learning how to move, follow the steps and feel the music while gliding around the dance floor. Every week, I can see improvement and it is so exciting. My classes at Beyond Dancing are the highlights of my week. Its a wonderful experience with a professional and fun staff!

I have been dancing with Francisco and Rachel for 8 yrs. I have learned so much! I feel like I am part of their family. I tried several dance studios when I moved here and I did not feel comfortable. I feel really comfortable taking lessons from the Beyond Dancing instructors. I have had so much fun and have met some really wonderful people. Thank you, Beyond Dancing!

While I am an employee (full disclosure), I walked in with minimal ballroom dancing experience; but, they have quickly taught me the basics with patience, alacrity, and professionalism. The syllabus is spectacularly designed for beginners or more experienced dancers, the teachers are exceptionally talented and know their craft well. Not just with the technical aspects of each dance, but also with being incredibly friendly and welcoming. They provide a milieu that is both intimate and professional, specific and general, technical and stylistic. You wont regret being crafted into graceful dancers by Beyond Dancing!

Max and Sarah are great! Theyve competed all over the world and are excellent instructors. DYNASTY DANCE CLUB in Lakewood Ranch is a great place for those just starting out or if you are an advanced dancer....they are more than capable of instructing you.....a comfortable studio and great people. Ive been dancing since 2012 and I love it!

Our kindergarten daughter truly enjoys coming to ballet and tumbling combination class at Beyond Dancing. The instructor is fantastic and the class is a perfect size for small group learning together. She just participated in her first on stage performance for a Holiday event on Lakewood Ranch Main Street and is very proud of herself and her friends. I definitely recommend this dance studio.

From the first moment I step in the Beyond Dancing studio doors and on to the floor, I knew my life would never be the same. The professional instructors were so patient with my two left feet and encouraged me through the process of learning how to dance. Their passion of dance and commitment to helping each student, transcends into the successful outcome of joyful dancing...whether it is in a group class, studio party, an evening out dancing, or a dance competition. Dancing with Beyond Dancing has changed my life - I now have a new found confidence in myself and have developed a new love in my life...DANCE!

As empty nesters, my husband and I decided we wanted to try some new activities that we could do together. We started with a Groupon package to try it out. Learning to dance better and having fun together were the goals for my husband and I when we signed up for dance lessons at Beyond Dancing. Rachel and Francisco have made a warm and comfortable environment where people are welcome where ever they are in their dance experience. The instructors are engaging and make learning fun and attainable. In all, we met our goals and more because we made some wonderful friends in the process. Highly recommended!

Review №36

There have been some awfully strange things happening at Beyond Dancing since December...first they brought on a new teacher that was very talented, Ray? dont know his last name but it didnt take very long till he was suddenly gone. Then I found out a married couple Bryan and Janet, he was teaching mainly new clients but he was a very good teacher and she was at the front desk everyone seemed to like her a lot, they didnt come back after the new year and now I find out that another teacher Dale is gone too, he was so fun and energetic. This leaves one man teacher, the owner that is very into his own dancing and doesnt listen to the clients very much. If a business cant keep their employees how can they keep their clients. I think I will dance somewhere else!

Review №39

We had a wonderful experience with our first teacher Brian, he was so patient, understanding, kept our learning at a pace we could handle and really made us feel that we could dance together. However, we really lost steam the last lesson we had when our teacher was out sick, it was really a downer, they tried to show us some fancy patterns and material that we just could not handle. Then at the end of the lesson they talked to us about the next course that we really thought we would do but the way that lesson went we thought it wasnt the right time for us, there was supposed to be a program that was planned for us but we didnt see it and we just got cold feet. They offered us another lesson when our teacher was back and we booked it but we left frustrated and not feeling good about ourselves.Long story short....yea right....we canceled our last lesson and we never got the energy back to try again.I dont really know how to rate this, our first teacher was awesome, the group classes we went to were good, the parties (didnt go to yet, we were too scared) , the last lesson experience was terrible and confidence blowing....

Review №46

Ive always loved to dance but have never learned the art of ballroom. My daughter has taken it in school for the past two years and has loved every minute of it. I decided to purchase a Groupon with a friend to see if it would be something I would enjoy as well. After the first nerve wracking lesson of discovering how rusty I am, they were nothing but patient, supportive and did everything to put me at ease the entire time. Before the next lesson, I enjoyed several group lessons to get the hang of things on a more social level to combat my nervousness and shyness before the next one on one. I cannot say enough great things about Francisco, Daniel and Tiffany as instructors. They are all Very patient and take their time answering any and all questions. I am happy to say that I have signed up for more lessons and my daughter has had a wonderful experience with all 3 instructors as well. We will both continue learning and having a great time at Beyond Dancing. Highly, highly recommend!!

Review №50

I transferred to this studio from one in North Carolina approximately one year ago. I do not consider myself to be a quitter so I stayed with them far longer than I should have. I kepted telling myself things will get better. My instructor was more interested in talking about other students and his personal life than providing a lesson. There is a certain amount of chit chat that happens, but I felt I was being taken advantage of and couldnt figure out how to get things back on track. He would also leave in the middle of a lesson or start late to take care of other personal things. The final straw for me was when I was sick and rather than call me to see how I was doing, they called to ask me to bring in a check when I still had several pre-paid lessons left. When I requested a refund of the remainder of my pre-paid lessons they declined and kept the money. This, I feel, is very poor customer relations. I paid in good faith that I would receive a quality service. If either party is no longer satisfied you should walk away and realize that it wasnt a good fit. You should not keep money you did not earn. The owner even stated to me once that they refund when someone wants to stop lessons, I guess this is not true. Very disappointed.

We are both seniors with a few weddings coming up and neither of us could dance a lick. We always enjoyed watching other people dance but we were afraid to try. We purchased a Groupon to Beyond Dancing just to see what would happen.. Immediately Francisco and Rachael made the experience so much fun that we went from wanting to surprise our family to wanting to learn for ourselves. It has added a whole new dimension to our golden years. We are snowbirds and will return to Florida in November to continue our learning. Francisco and Rachel are such dear people and they turned our fear into so much fun from the very first lesson.Tom and Linda Stegmaier

I bought a Groupon for 3 private classes, 45 minutes each, the first lesson we spent 30min filling out paperwork and going over what to expect, so we really danced for 15min, the next lesson was about 30min and the last one was all about getting me to sign up for more classes...very pushy, made me uncomfortable...all about sale..all about money...poor manners and very unprofessional! I would never go back there or recommend the place to anyone.
