Dance Trance Fredericksburg

Not at all impressed. I bought a Groupon for classes to try them out and was extremely disappointed. I arrived early as requested and the teacher showed late and the previous class ran over. I sat and listened to the instructors bad mouthing other students and teachers like I wasn’t even there. The class ended up being canceled due to poor attendance. I signed up for another class which went well but the heat didn’t seem to be working both times I was there and the studio was cluttered and dirty. I had some confusion with how to use my Groupon and since the instructors are not responsible for that, and the owner was never there, I sent several emails to find out how to resolve the problem. The owner never responded and because I didn’t want to be charged I missed out on taking my other classes. I will NOT be returning.

Its a great place to get out on the dance floor and dance. You have great instructors and they want you to be yourself and you meet plenty of awesome and great people there!

If, like me, you think dancing is the only form of exercise that doesn’t feel like work, this is the place for you. Get ready to sweat (and feel it the next day), even if you are «just» doing plies and tendus or «just» working with a five-​pound kettlebell! There is a good variety of class offerings (cardio involving much shakin’ it, dance techniques, dance-​based strength training). Dancers come from a pretty wide variety of ages, backgrounds and levels of dance experience. Everyone is made to feel so welcome and encouraged. The teachers reeeally know their stuff, which could be intimidating, but instead they just want to demonstrate a high standard while ensuring that you have fun and get a great workout. There is a lot of laughter and «wooooing.» I was hooked after one class!

DanceTrance Fredericksburg is the best dance fitness studio in the area. I have lost weight and built endurance all the while having lots of fun. I recommend this studio to any and everybody.

I would not recommend this local business to anyone anymore. I was a loyal customer for 2 years. During those 2 years I was criticized and intimated. Two rules the owner/​instructor always stated before class…1) Have Fun 2) Move with the class… These rules obviously did not apply to me. I was told I was Whooing to loudly, Whooing at the wrong time (whoo’d when she whoo’d), Intimidating and losing her other customers, Intimating/​correcting her employee (instructors), moving to fast (throwing her and/​or her instructors off count-​mind you I was the customer learning/​doing not teaching). I am an energetic person and love all types of exercise. I showed my love by talking to my friends or fellow DT members before and/​or after classes about Zumba or other forms of exercise and was specifically told not to do so. I never discussed or mentioned other forms while class was going in the rented time slot of the her business. I am now posting this because I’m no longer a member and don’t ever plan on going back because of the way I was treated as a paying customer. I was so stressed out and intimated during classes, I wasn’t having fun working out anymore. I have promoted this business during two years of my membership and is shown in the 3 photos I see attached to this link. I will no longer promote or encourage anyone to take classes with her. I will speak highly of Dance Trance Fitness but just not with this owner/​instructor of the local business. I would rather drive to Richmond or DC to take their classes before ever reconsidering hers.

This is an amazing workout!
I have never in my life look so forward to «going to the gym» !
The classes are perfect for any level of dancer. Even if you just want to have fun and enjoy a workout but have no dance experience, you will love this!
All of the instructors are amazing and so nice.
