Avenue 56 Dance Studios

I have just read the other review of this studio and now I am totally nervous. If anyone has actually had a full set of classes from the instructor 'Marcus' please reply to calm my worries.

My fiance and I left a 200 dollar deposit for 5 Private lessons and 5 group lessons. We saw a couple getting a lesson before we got there and another couple as we were leaving. I should have stopped and asked how they felt about him.

The comments in the previous review were not totally off base, I kinda felt that to afterward. Hopefully everything goes well...

Please see my forum thread here: http://www.projectwedding.com/post/list/avenue-56-dance-studios

My fiance and I just finished lessons from another dance studio (Promenade Dance Studio) and now I am SURE that there has got to be something shady going on with Avenue 56! We experienced a WORLD of difference!

To note in addition to everything I mentioned in that thread...we asked him to tell us what kind of dance our song was and he told us it was a foxtrot. We asked him to show us...and now I realize he didn't show us anything except gliding across the room with his arms spread. We found out from Promenade that our song is actually a Rumba.

We were drawn in by the flashy website and multiple locations. We dealt with someone named "Marcus"...who knows if that was even his real name...
