My husband and I have been dancing ballroom for 25 years, we absolutely love Empire Ballroom. Very skilled, fun, hard working, dedicated teachers and staff, our new home away from home. The first time we really feel like we belong to a family. Very highly recommend.

The instructors are top-notch professionals and make the learning experience so much fun. I only wish I had started much earlier. If you have any interest in dance, I highly recommend you try a few lessons - you may become addicted as I have!

Ive been learning to dance here now for 8 months and I have made so much progress. My instructor, Sara, as well as the other instructors (William, Andrius, Vitus, and Sid) are all incredible and really give you the right amount of feedback, whether it be for salsa, bachata, waltz, foxtrot, or any other dance. I feel like Im learning from the best! The studio itself is great and ideal for dancing. My favorite event is the weekly party on Wednesday nights where many of the students come and dance with other students and the instructors. Great people attend this studio and its great meeting a whole slew of interesting people that also enjoy dancing.

My husband and I are brand new to dance. We started taking lessons with Kate. She is wonderful, but, we have to say that they all are awesome. We always feel so welcome when we are there and we are having a blast. We will continue our learning... We highly recommend Empire Ballroom...

Ive been taking weekly private lessons for several months with Sid and he is phenomenal! He is so good at reading peoples skills and hes a very thorough, patient instructor. I have danced with some of the other instructors there and they are all so talented. They have a great team, friendly environment and its great exercise! I definitely recommend taking lessons at Empire Ballroom!

If you want real professional ballroom dancing instruction this is THE PLACE! Sid Pocius and his team of experts are pleasant and fun to dance with. Offering individual and group lessons and practice parties, call today to set up your first lesson! Also great for weddings and special events.

Empire Ballroom Studios is a wonderful place to learn to dance. Whether you are new to ballroom dancing or a seasoned dancer, you will have fun, gain proficiency and enjoy the whole experience.

No question... True top tier performers... Dancing with Sid and his top atheletes will make you feel like an international success in a matter of weeks... The chance to perform on broadway stages to 100s of people is a chance to have a fantasy come true. They are heavily involved in the cultural arts scene and a great date night is to combine a wine and gallery tour with a ballroom dancing party... We have had many fun nights together dancing the night away and this is great exercise as well!!!! 5 *

I have taken ballroom lessons all over the country and the level of instruction at Empire Ballrooms far exceeds any other studio I have tried. Sid is a true champion who can push you to be your best but also makes dancing fun. He hires and trains his staff to do the same.

What a great experience! Amazing dancers. Sid, Vitas, G, and Elina are enthusiastic, motivating instructors. They’ve been very patient with a novice who has not danced before and have made the whole experience FUN!

Great people and atmosphere! Josh is an amazing teacher- fun, technical, and encouraging!

Empire Ballroom is the best studio in Sarasota ,because of the proffessional instructors that teach there . In addition they are each wonderful people who care about their students well being as well as their dancing . I recommend them highly.

It just sooooo much fun and everyone so friendly. Love it!
