Reviews of Forever Dancing Ballroom (Dance School)

Zack Henderson

Fabio helped me and my fiancée to prepare for our first dance. I had never danced before and be did an amazing job challenging us with moves that matched our level. I would even like to continue coming to classes after the wedding! Thank you Fabio!

Fabio is fantastic! He taught me two dances for my wedding and i couldn't have had a better experience. Don't look any further for your dancing instruction.

The quality of instruction has been top-notch, both in private lessons and group lessons. Fabio is an amazing dancer and skilled teacher, who is very attentive to proper posture and position while being very supportive and encouraging. I am focusing primarily on tango and "rhythm" dances, but I had the opportunity to check out many teachers and styles of dance during an "open house" and had a blast trying out everything from capoeira to aerial dance! I highly recommend this studio.

I love everything about Forever Dancing, from the friendly and professional staff to the warm and inviting atmosphere, the cleanliness and appearance of the studio, and above all Jennifer's and Fabio's hard work, dedication, and passion. I highly respect Fabio for his talent, creativity, patience, positive attitude, and sense of humor. He is very special and deserves every award and recognition for outstanding instructor. Jennifer and Fabio changed my life. I am honored and grateful to be a part of the Forever Dancing family, and I look forward to many more years of dancing, fun, and lifelong friends.

My fiancé and I are both from Wisconsin. He is currently at The Basic School and we planned to have me visit the first weekend of my spring break and decided to schedule a ballroom dance lesson to prep for our wedding. Unfortunately, after scheduling our lesson he found out he was going to have to stay on base the day of our lesson for land nav. I both called and emailed the studio and have had no response from them, even though I gave them well over a week's notice. I cannot rate their dancing services but their customer service is a solid one star. For reference, here is the email I sent the studio: Hi Jennifer, My fiancé and I are unfortunately unable to make our lesson on the 17th. He is currently at The Basic School at Marine Base Quantico and in classic military fashion, something unexpected came up on his end and he will have to work all day Saturday. It's a bummer since that was going to be the only day we would be able to see each other. Being that $95 is not an insignificant sum of money since we're newly graduated and seeing as neither of us are from Virginia (I currently live in Wisconsin) the odds that we are able to reschedule our dance lesson are slim to none. We were really looking forward to it. I'm emailing with the hopes that we can be refunded seeing as this is the only weekend I will be in Virginia between now and his graduation and after that we will both be living in Florida. It sounds like refunds are against policy so I know this is a long shot but we have absolutely no way of scheduling another dance class and $95 down the drain is a little painful. Respectfully, Grace *EDIT* in response to the owner, when I called back (following our conversation) my call was not answered, nor was the email I sent to the studio. Additionally, a 6 month grace period works out well for many but, again, as I am not in state and will not be back there is no opportunity for my fiancé and I to use the credit.

We would like to extend our everlasting thanks to Forever Dancing and to Jennifer and Fabio for getting Linda and I ready for our first dance for our wedding. Linda and I can't dance but Fabio was able to work with us. We did not have a clue of what to do so Fabio choreographed our first dance to the song we selected. He has a patient and reassuring attitude and is a great instructor and dancer. It was our great pleasure to work with him. Slowly but surely we became more proficient in performing our dance steps and are at the stage where we believe we will give a beautiful and graceful first dance at our wedding (at least from our standpoint). We would not hesitate to take other dance classes that Forever Dancing offers. In addition, I am sure when we look back at our dance classes at Forever Dancing they will be one our fondest wedding memories that we will treasure always. Thank you guys for a profound job with us!

Fabio was GREAT! We had so much fun practicing our wedding dance with the 5 dance lessons and he helped us craft a great choreography, while still giving us the flexibility to make it our own.

Andrew Hendrickson

Absolutely fantastic studio! I decided to take ballet classes to improve my technique for Marching Band Color Guard and fell in love! All of the schools I looked at either had mixed reviews or bad times but this was perfect. Virginia Britton is a fantastic ballet teacher with an amazing knowledge with a very small, interactive class for ballet and would STRONGLY recommend this studio to anybody!

Mark Word

Fabio and Jennifer treat everyone with respect and provide excellent instruction. They have the nicest wood dance floor in the entire Washington, D.C. area.

Esther Heideman

We were getting married, so we signed up for private dance lessons with Fabio Bonini. We sent him our wedding song, and he choreographed a beautiful showstopper! We could not have been happier! Our friends and family loved it, and called it the "PERFORMANCE OF A LIFETIME." We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Fabio and Forever Dancing! Excellent experience all the way around. Friendly staff, beautiful dance studio, easy parking, and inexpensive considering what you get for your money.

My daughter took ballet classes here with Ms. Virginia. She is a fine teacher with patience for the students. My daughter loved her and Ms. Virginia did wonderful things for her technique. As for the rest of the studio: My wife and I have been involved with the dance community for several years, having taken classes in a variety of dance styles. While we did not take classes here, I watched a lot while my daughter was in her classes and I can say that what I saw appeared to be top instruction. The teachers were patient yet disciplined and you could tell they really love what they do. So from the "outside looking in" I will say that I would have no hesitation to take classes here. The facility is well kept and clean and the staff is completely personable and as nice as anyone you could hope to meet. The only one little irritant was the parking situation, but once you figure out how and where to park, it's not a big deal. Very nice place.

We booked 10 classes for our first dance and it was amazing! Our wedding became extremely special with our Brazilian dance. Fabio was awesome and very professional! We strongly recommend it!

Lisa Bateman

My fiancé and I took lessons from Fabio for our first dance, and he was extremely helpful and easy to work with! He was very encouraging and patient, which we appreciated as my fiancé felt very nervous about learning to dance. Fabio taught us steps that will look impressive to family and friends but still feel manageable to us, which is exactly what we were looking for with our first dance. Thanks, Fabio, for all of your help!

Instructors Fabio, and Nick are top notch. Floor top notch!!!!

My wife Brittany and I have had a fantastic and transformative experience dancing at Forever Dancing Ballroom! We found them at one of their open house events and immediately booked a package of lessons with Fabio for our wedding. Our dance lessons were always a fun break from wedding planning, and we left every dance lesson feeling better than we did when we walked in. It was exciting to learn new moves and choreography at every lesson. At first, we thought the techniques were difficult, but with practice and good coaching, we were able to learn the steps and perform a romantic and fun first dance at our wedding. It was thrilling to do our dance in front of such a supportive and enthusiastic crowd - we absolutely loved the magic moment of our first dance! My wife and I had a casual interest in dancing before we worked on the first dance with Fabio, but since then, we've become hooked and now we take group classes and have continued with private lessons as well. Jennifer Bonini manages the studio classes, billing, private lessons, events, and more. She is friendly, funny, and supportive, and very excellent at keeping everything organized. A talented dancer herself, Jennifer has also shared some excellent dance coaching with us from time to time. Other coaches at the studio are similarly personable and welcoming to all. The entire vibe at Forever Dancing is simply perfect for those looking for an approachable dance studio that will keep you smiling, moving, and have a blast dancing. I highly encourage you to visit Forever Dancing Ballroom as a studio: for wedding first dance lessons, group classes, cool workshops, and a fulfilling way to spend your time!

Fabio is an excellent teacher! He is professional, patient and talented. We are grateful that we selected his studio for our wedding dance. The dance floor is spacious and they included practice time! Kudos to Jennifer and staff too! We are now dancers for our wedding this Saturday coming!! I would recommend Forever Dancing Ballroom for your dancing needs. Thank you Fabio!

Forever dancing is an incredible loving community. The business owners are a beautiful couple who decided to quit their old jobs to start a business dedicated to what they love! Now how romantic is that? I came in because I wanted to learn a new skill to improve my social life. I have no background in dancing, but I saw tremendous results in only a month. I received group lessons and private lessons in many varied social dances such as salsa, tango, bachata, merengue, and the cha cha. I also put my new skills to the test by attending clubs in DC that offer Latin nights. I was so surprised in how quickly I improved. Fabio and Jennifer are incredible teachers that offer precise instructions and insights into dancing. I not only learned new skills, but I also made incredible friends and learned about how dance is very similar to leadership. I recommend dance for everybody especially if you are seeking balance in your life. You'll gain strength over the fear of rejection by leaving your comfort zone. However, I understand how many people would be turned off by the price, but it is a reasonable price for the incredible memories and new opportunities dancing has to offer. Furthermore, if you are still unsure about making the commitment, the dance studio offers a great groupon deal that will allow you to test the waters.

As inexperienced dancers, my fiancé and I needed help for our first dance. Fabio worked with us to craft a dance that looked polish and sharp. We came a long way, and as a result of his training, our performance went off great! Thank you Fabio!

I've been going here for Zumba for the past couple of years and I love the instructor Nely. She's always positive & energetic and just gets you in the mood to dance. And she's helped me lose some unwanted weight which is always great! Staff is great and you can do a drop in as well. I'd give Nely more stars if I could.

MyP Bui

We had the best beginners learning experience with Nick. He coordinated our first dance waltz to match our skill level with some added flare. Nick was an absolutely amazing instructor who was very patient, fun, and very catering to our likes and dislikes. We are definitely coming back for more lessons from him in the future! The dance studio itself is absolutely gorgeous. It's spacious and airy and the hardwood floors are beautiful!

Mike Mirandi

My fiancee and I took five dance lessons for ballroom dancing with Fabio. Fabio is an excellent teacher and incredibly personable. He catered the lessons to our preferences and skill level. He was patient and informative with his instruction and paced the classes exceptionally well for us to meet our goal of choreographing a dance over five classes. At the end of each class he would have us film what we learned during class which made for an excellent reviewing tool. We cannot say enough good things about Fabio and Forever Dancing. You will not be disappointed.

Emily Griffiths

The best instructors around! They are very patient and truly care about your dance experience! I've taken privates and group lessons, and I am a much better dancer because of them! I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn to dance!!

Mimi Murphy

My husband and I took dance lessons for our wedding and Fabio was wonderful. He created a beautiful dance fit for our skill level. They worked with us to make sure we used all of our classes before our wedding and helped us find the best days and times.

Forever Dancing Ballroom is two years "young" and a rising star amongst other local dance studios. It has two beautiful Ballrooms; the front ballroom is 3 times bigger than the Back Ballroom. Jennifer and Fabio are married couple doing a wonderful job with other skilled dance teachers teaching Argentine Tango, International Latin Dances, American Ballroom dancing, Classical Ballet, Aerial Dance, Flamenco, and Brazilian dances to their students. In April, 2011 I attended Bachata Advocators Lee "El Gringuito" and Kat "La Gata"'s Bachata class at the FDB. Then at the end of 2011 I found Fabio's advertisement on Craigslist which met my needs. So I started taking Ballroom and Latin dance classes taught by instructors Fabio, Nate, Yana and Kat. I would love to emphasize two things here. 1) They teach dance techniques in every class at the FDB. 2) The Argentine Tango is the most frequent dance at the FDB. I take Front Ballroom classes Tues through Sun, and encourage everybody to take lessons at the FDB! Of course, Private classes and other instructors are also available at Forever Dancing Ballroom. Please check out the website of the studio!

My wife and I came to forever dancing to learn sertanejo, a brazilian dance for our first dance at our wedding on September 30th 2018. My wife had some dance experience, I however had zero experience. Fabio was our instructor and he was plain brilliant. Fabio was extremely patient, informative, and knowledgeable. We took a 10 week class and were able to effectively dance to a 3 minute choreographed song. I walked in day one and could not do a single step to the beat of our song, when I left I was able to dazzle our audience on our wedding day with lifts, spins, and turns. It was an emotional experience for myself and would highly recommend Fabio and Forever Dancing to anyone wishing to learn to dance.

Esteban Soto

WOW! Amazing facilities, Amazing people. highly recommended, Fabio has been wonderful to work with.

Cristina Troshin

We were delighted to have Fabio Bonini as our dance teacher. We couldn’t ask for more! His ability to put us at ease is as masterful as his teaching skills..We had a great experience learning our first dance at the “Forever Dance Studio” which we would highly recommend to everyone!
