Hello every one.
I read and hear about both studios in New York City, DanceSport, and Dance New York.
For the International lessons, is there any difference? If one is an intermediate student, which place might be better? I would be more than happy to hear from anyone with ANY information. Thank you in advance.

Ballroom on Fifth is a ballroom, however, a number of international teachers teach there. They can be reached through the management of the place. They also have a website with some particulars and I assumed you would check them out there. The current US champions teach there along with some of the other leading dancers. The two other studios mentioned, Dance New York and Dancesport also have excellent websites. I am not certain why, in light of the extensive information available on the web you have to question a board unless you have a specific question.

Frank--
Open forums and message boards are indeed public places...but they are also intended to be conversational...it is definitely acceptable web etiquette to post your opinions here when someone asks. In fact, that is the whole point. So, if anyone has an endorsement for a particular studio, or if they have had a bad experience...then I hope that they relate it. We all know that this forum is subjective...but we're adults...give us a little credit.

Hi LovelyIsabella,

Thanks, I feel a bit less embarassed.

There are excellent and even famous International trainers at various NYC studios. We might question the appropriateness of recommending any above another in an open public forum. It's also a safe bet than as an intermediate social dancer, all of the I-trainers at all of these studios will be more than suitable for you.

Thank you for your kind responses. Any suggestion is so valuable. Going to a big city is like a once-in-a-lifetime dream plan. This dream is based on an assumption that NYC must be one of the best pick(!!!???).

David, is Ballroom on fifith the name of another studio? Thank you for your information.
Frank and Car, you gave me VERY helpful feedback.
I am grateful.

Check out the staff at Ballroom on Fifth. There
are an number of excellent International teachers
on the staff.

Dance New York offers more private lessons-there are many professionals who're currently competiting-teach there.

Dance Sport is more of a studio for group class although, teachers like Kelvin and Titiana are quite good to take private lessons with. Group class in DS appears to be very packed it's not a place to do social dance.
