Rhythmology Dance Studio

My husband and I bought a Groupon for 10 salsa lessons. The space looks small from the outside, but is actually pretty big. We have been taking Salsa Bootcamp for the past 8 weeks and so far love it. The classes are not too crowded and the times work for both our schedule. Alfred, the owner, teaches the class and is super patient with us. They teach salsa «on 2» which is not common here in NY. The only thing I don’t like about the class is that new people come weekly and sometimes it takes too long to get them up to speed. We also took a private class with Carolina and it was worth it. She refined what we’ve been learning and taught us a lot as well.

My boyfriend and I decided to take salsa lessons as part of our New Year’s resolution. We had Mitchell as our instructor. Mitchell made us very comfortable and he was easy to follow. We purchased five private classes. There were times that I had to reschedule, always 24 hours in advance, because things do come up. There was one instance where he started to feel sick in the morning and by the evening he was terribly ill. He ended up being bedridden for almost a week. We of course did not make it to that dance lesson. We called the studio and let them know because we did not want Mitchell to wait for us. They told us that we would lose the lesson because we called three hours in advance.
We had two more lessons and the day we were heading to our last lesson, we received news of a death in the family. We headed to Canada immediately for the funeral. After an extended conversation and a lot of convincing the manager allowed us to reschedule. Yesterday was supposed to be our last lesson. We went in and started speaking to the manager. She and my boyfriend went back and forth for a bit. He tried to explain why we had to reschedule lessons before and after a few minutes, she asks him for a doctors note. Asking an adult for a doctors note for a rescheduled dance lesson is kind of ridiculous. We have always been responsible when we were unable to make it for the lessons. We always called and we were also courteous.
He was very upset with the customer service and we did not end up doing our dance lesson yesterday. We were planning on signing up for more lesson but after this whole situation, I dont think thats happening.

Great studio thats offers a variety of classes. Alfred, Bryan and Carolina are passionate instructors who truly love what they do. Overall Rhythmology is a great place to take dance lessons and have fun.

Alfred Peña is a great teacher and dancer. His passion for dance is one like I have never seen in any dancer I know. His teams ranging in all ages are the most outgoing groups of all time. They all share his passion and love for people and bringing the art of dance into everyone’s soul. This is where you want to learn and or strengthen your dance.

It is a fabulous dance studio. The instructors are patient and fun!
If you have never danced before-​this is the place to learn. If you have danced before-​this is the place to go for new step and polish your rhythm!!!
Love it@

I highly recommend Rhythmology! I was a student there for a few months in 2013 (until I moved out of state), and my instructors (most of my classes were with Alfred and Bryan) were really able to teach me in a way that worked for me, a relative beginner. Classes were engaging and fun (sometimes too silly haha) and gave us lots of skill building and practice.
Students were a wide mix of ages, but with many people in their 20’s and 30’s, compared to other dance schools. I especially recommend bachata and salsa classes here, since that’s their specialty.

When my wife said that she wanted us to dance Salsa I groaned. I’m not a dancer. Well, Rhythmology is starting to change that. The instructors are unbelievably talented and skilled at teaching. Alfred Pena, our instructor, makes learning fun. And I have found dancing Salsa a great way to connect with my wife. If you want to learn how to dance, you’ve really got to check this place out. It has exceeded my expectations in every way!!!

I really enjoy going to this school. They offer salsa, bachata, and much more. Very friendly atmosphere and a great supportive staff!

Everyone from the founder of Rhythmology, Alfred Pena, who sets the tone here, to the teachers — is enthusiastic, positive and fun. The dance instruction by Alfred Pena, Carolina, Bryan and Tiffany, who do the salsa and bachata classes, is second to none. The atmosphere is welcoming and the students are supportive. You can’t ask for a better experience.

This is the best Latin dance studio on long island.
I’m always skeptical of salsa studios on long island but Alfred is an amazing teacher and dancer. He has a load of energy and gives you everything you need to know about each dance. Very technical.
I recommend this studio to all who are interested, that live close by, and for the NYC dancers as well. He’s great!

I went to the class for the first time and I liked it. I have dance experience but I have only taken classes in the city. I found this class to be the closest to the city style of dancing.
Alfred was very nice and welcoming which made it a more comfortable feeling. He taught footwork but also implemented style as well. I recommend this class to anyone who is interested in learning Latin dances.

I started taking salsa and bachata classes at Rhythmology about two months ago and the experience has been incredible. I signed up for classes by myself as a result of going to a salsa club in the city on a Sunday night, being surrounded by amazing dancers, and coming to the harsh realization that I didn’t really know how to dance salsa. I bought a groupon for 10 classes at Rhythmology and have been going at least 3 times a week ever since. I’ve even gotten friends of mine to sign up and they have had a great experience as well. I can’t say enough about the quality of the teachers. No matter what level of dance you come in with they make you feel comfortable and they are extremely motivating, which is important if you’ve never taken dance classes before. Most importantly, the classes are a lot of fun. All of the teachers do a wonderful job at making sure that you learn and improve, while making the classes extremely enjoyable. The community of dancers at Rhythmology has also been a highlight for me. Going in alone I was a little nervous, but everyone has been extremely nice and welcoming and now I can honestly say that I have a great group of friends there. If you do take classes at Rhythmology, I highly recommend that you get involved with the latin socials that the studio organizes. It’s a great way to practice what you learned in class with other students from class, so you don’t have to wait until you feel like youre an expert to get onto the dance floor. If you’re at all interested in learning salsa, bachata, or the other types of dance, I highly recommend Rhythmology. You won’t be disappointed!

Rhythmology is a network of friends who share the love of dance and having fun. When you join this group, you will always have something to do!!! They are so much fun, and the instructors are the best at what they do. I have found some of the closest friends I have amongst this group of beautiful, diverse people. I’m so glad I stopped thinking about joining a dance group and finally did it! Two years later, (which have passed by soooo quickly) I feel comfortable dancing with partners of all dance levels and abilities. And it’s also a great workout!

For a very long time I’ve had a wish to learn to dance salsa and perform like one of those fancy people from Dancing with the Stars. I finally decided to do it, and I googled Salsa dancing. After a plethora of results, I clicked on Rhythmology and 2 years later my wish came true. The instructors, as well as the students made me feel welcomed and helped me be where I am today. I have established a wonderful group of friends, and we love to hang out with each other all the time. This spring, I had the opportunity to do my first performance with my instructor Alfred Pena.
