Looking for Seattle Teen Jazz dance classes, but how do you find a good one?

What questions do you ask? Here are a few tips:

Look for non-competitive dance classes where everyone is friendly and you will always feel welcome.
Look for a class where the teacher understands that the pace of the class has to be good for you.

Look for a jazz dance studio with specially designed 'sprung' wood floors that 'give' to protect their feet and ankles. Avoid studios with regular wood floors and heaven forbid a studio have concrete floors.
Look for accommodating dance school policies like a 100% money back guarantee if you don't like your dance class for any reason.

Most importantly look for a dance school that has expert dance teachers who know how to give you more personalized class attention and you will progress faster.
