The instructors with whom I have collaborated possess not only technical expertise, but also the unique ability to impart it to their students in an engaging and enjoyable manner. This particular attribute is scarce amongst educators, and serves as a motivating factor for me to continuously strive to improve my skills. Kris, the proprietor and primary instructor of the studio's group classes, is an exceedingly congenial individual. Her sincere fondness and concern for her students are the driving forces behind the welcoming and familial ambience present at ADC. I genuinely perceive the studio as my second home, and cannot envision myself working anywhere else.

ADC, or Arete Dance Center, is an exceptional dance studio that offers a diverse selection of group classes and private lessons. The immensely encouraging instructors create an environment that is both supportive and welcoming to its members. I have personally been a part of this phenomenal community for over three years and can confidently say that my experience has been absolutely amazing. The opportunity to learn and improve as a dancer has provided me with an immense sense of joy and personal fulfillment. Thank you, ADC, for this incredible experience!

For three and a half years, I have been an avid dancer at Arete and cannot speak highly enough of the place and the people who inhabit it. Though my initial intention was to attend Zumba classes, Kris convinced me to explore Ballroom dancing which ultimately became my passion. Arete has played a critical role in my life, as I know I wouldn't have discovered the joy of dancing without it. From the very beginning, Kris made me feel welcome and at ease. Her passion for teaching is evident and she is an outstanding instructor. Learning to dance is a great deal of fun when you are in the hands of someone who understands that life is already challenging enough. Richard has been my private dance instructor for the past three years, and during that time, he has helped me develop trust in myself and my abilities. He has a kind and humorous style, while always keeping my personal goals at the forefront. Arete has enabled me to make lasting friendships, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in exploring the joys of dance. You can even attend classes without a partner, which is a bonus!
