We left the studio, because it is a horrible environment for children. The owner books late night parties which get out of hand and 5 times in the past 6 months the police has been called due to teenage alcohol and fights. Due to complaints in the neighborhood, WUSA9 did a feature on this problem and it aired on March 15, 2016. During the interview the owner blamed parents for the 5 times the police were called. In the past few years, 2 students have been injured due to the conditions left from parties the night before. One dancer sliced a tendon in her foot, from a broken beer bottle embedded in the floor.The studio is also extremely dirty, it has been a long time since anything has been cleaned. It is shame, because the studio does feature some very good dance teachers.The owner has yet to take any responsibility for the issues described above. Due to safety and hygiene concerns, we no longer frequent the studio.

The owner Rockley Miller taking time off for health purposes coupled with the loss of dance director Windy Queen has taken a huge toll on HeartBeats in a very short amount of time. The new management does not seem to care about the children's well being and development as much as they care about their competition team. They are short and curt with customers. The once positive atmosphere that thrived here before has quickly diminished.
A great family-oriented place that offers lessons for a variety of instruments. Easy commute from Fort Belvoir. My girls take piano lessons here (ages 6 and 4). We have two different instructors to match my kid's needs and personalities. They'll even offer lessons for itty bitty ones if the child has interest. They are very patient and talented instructors. They hold music recitals often inside the studio. It's not over the top or intimidating for young children, but professionally done. The owner records each performance in high def and posts them to their YouTube channel. You can easily view, share, and keep a record of your child's progress throughout the year(s)! Love it, especially because my husband travels a lot, and was able to view it over the internet! I highly recommend this place. My kids are much more motivated to practice and perform than they were in our first studio in GA. The price change was a shocker, but it is well worth it.

Great studio! The dance staff provides a positive learning environment with a focus on safe development of the dancer. Miss Windy treats every student as if they are family. The staff have strong relationships with one another. It is easy to see the dance staff are true professionals, who believe in furthering their education. I know some have recieved awards for excellence in their field. One does not have to be in the recital but if you decided to, all cost are known from the very beginning with no hidden fees. There is no doubt we were home from the start! Thanks Mr. Rockely and Ms. Windy

Great place. I have two daughters enrolled in ballet and they both love it. Good, patient teachers. We're very happy with Heartbeats.

Great family-friendly studio that offers a great mix of competitive and recreational dance classes along with a fully array of music lessons. This studio seems to have found the right balance for dancers that want to pursue their passion for dance while still having a life apart from the studio. They have an incredible program for the young entry-level dancers and are very accommodating to the special challenges facing the military families new to the area. Very friendly teachers and staff that creat a very positive environment for all their families. Highly recommend.
