Dance With Me

“The response has been amazing,” Abel said. “Guests have said they are happy we are here and that Southlake really needed something like this.”

Abel said the difference between Dance With Me and other studios is the quality. Although the studio is located in Texas, he said it is the same as the New York City-area studios.

“We are not a chain school, and we are not a franchise,” he said. “We are all corporately owned, and that’s the only way we make sure that the quality is there in every single studio.”

Abel said he knows each dancer comes in for various reasons, which is why lessons are individually prepared.

“Some come for social reasons—they want to belong; they want to be a part of something,” he said. “Some people come here for competitive reasons because they want a sport they can compete in. Some come here because of artistic reasons, and some come for fitness reasons because they can’t stand the gym but want to do something that keeps them active but at the same time doesn’t bore them to death. Time flies on the dance floor.”
