What a GREAT studio! I’ve been taking Soleil's ballet classes for a few months now, and already my technique has improved significantly! I’ve noticed when I take her class afterwards I feel so free, her classes really put the life back into you.

Such a lovely and welcoming dance studio. I enrolled in the adult ballet course and it's easily become the highlight of my week. Challenging but not overwhelming, the hour flies by, and I see progress every week. Thank you for offering this class!

I can't say enough good things about VAM. The way that they make a wide range of dance styles accessible to all ages and skill levels in the community is unsurpassed! I like it so much I drive down from Snohomish on a regular basis to take class. I've been taking tap at VAM from Mark for 5 years now. He is extremely welcoming, and one of the nicest human beings you will meet! As a more advanced adult tap dancer, it can be hard to find a studio that can continue to challenge you. And challenge me Mark does! I am humbled to be able to take class from someone who trained under the masters, and really is a master himself! His historical knowledge of tap dance is priceless and I love hearing his stories. All these years later, Mark will still pull out steps/patterns I've never seen before. No two classes are the same! And most importantly he makes class fun and is extremely skilled at "teaching to the room", making sure everyone present is being challenged at their level. Proof of all of this can be seen in the vast array of adults who come to take tap dance here - all ages and skill levels! In true "drop-in" format as well, which is very conducive to adult schedules (no feeling like you'll be behind because you missed the previous week). Veronica and the rest of the staff are super kind as well. I've always felt welcome walking in the door. Their annual showcases are also very fun to be a part of. If you are unsure, definitely give VAM a try! I'm willing to bet they have a class/level for you.

VAM is the dance studio our family needed! 2/3 of us love dancing there with the incredible instructors (seriously, Mark is phenomenal and I feel so lucky to be learning from him), and the other 1/3 loves watching our shows and supporting our dance habit. And the shows are incredible - so much talent! I recommend VAM to everyone I know because it's small enough that almost everyone knows your name so you get to be part of a welcoming community. If you're a dancer or aspiring dancer (of any age, shape, or form) in the Seattle area, I 100% recommend VAM.

My six year old daughter takes a free movement dance class here and loves it! We have tried two other local dance studios and Vam is her favorite by far. She looks forward to coming and has really enjoyed herself. I highly recommend this studio!
