Such a beautiful venue! It’s one of the best in Long Island for a party. Very easy to book. The owner was very helpful and thorough about policies. The space was large enough for dancing with the amount of table we had. Really made our event come to life.

My 16 year old daughter has been taking dance lessons since she was 4(ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, etc.). When she expressed an interest in learning ballroom dance, we scheduled a trial lesson at the Ballroom Factory. That was the best decision we ever made! Every week she leaves her lesson saying, “I love this place!” It is actually the happiest I have ever seen her. The staff is amazing and the community of dancers are so welcoming and supportive. I truly am so grateful for this experience!

I have been going to the Ballroom Factory Dance Studio for the past few years. I always wanted to learn ballroom dancing. One day, on a whim, I scheduled a lesson at Ballroom Factory and have been hooked ever since. Karolina, the studio owner, is so warm and welcoming. All the instructors are amazingly talented and nice. I take lessons with Pavel. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and makes dancing so much fun. I highly recommend the Ballroom Factory Dance Studio for anyone looking to learn how to dance or improve their dancing skills.

Very happy to share my experiences with ballroom dance factory. My wife and I started about two years ago or so, we started with the goal of getting more comfortable and confident with dance , my daughter’s wedding was about 10 months away at the time. I was the guy at weddings who would do the first dance and spend the rest of the wedding in my seat wishing I had the courage/ability to go out to the dance floor. We meet karolina at our free intro dance and instantly knew we were in the right place. It was only a few lessons in when karolina suggested we do a dance routine as a surprise for my daughter at her wedding. We had no confidence that we could do a whole routine but karolina was so supportive we just went for it. Best thing we ever did ! It was a hit , we surprised her with a 2 minute plus hustle routine!! There is no way we could have done that without the support , teaching and patience of karolina , she is simply wonderful. We’ve continued to dance and even did another 2 minute plus routine in her spring showcase , never did I think we would be dancing in front of people , but I have to say it was an incredible experience. I know she is planning on convincing us to do another routine at her Christmas showcase , I’m sure we will not say no. Karolina is a wonderful instructor, we always enjoy our time with her. She is skilled , funny, passionate and most importantly.. patient. I know she is a great teacher , because we want to succeed so much for her. She puts so much time into her studio , not only the showcases , but she also has Friday night social dancing and many group classes as well.Karolina has been our primary instructor since we started , but I’ve come to know her whole staff and I would without reservation feel comfortable working with any of them. I highly recommend giving ballroom dance factory a try , I promise you will have an awesome time. I’m now the guy who grabs people and drags them onto the dance floor!

If you want to socialize, meet people, make yourself feel better and learn a dance step or two, Ballroom Factory is the place for you. The instructors are experienced in all forms of dancing and make it fun to learn. You will walk out of every lesson feeling like you learned a step or two and you did. It is a great place to be.

I can’t say enough good things about the Ballroom Factory. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a warm and professional team that truly loves what they do. The instructors are not only talented dancers themselves but also gifted teachers who know how to break things down and make everyone feel comfortable. What sets this place apart is the sense of community it fosters. Everyone supports each other, and you can see genuine friendships forming between students of all ages. It’s more than just a place to take class, it’s a place to grow, express yourself, and have a lot of fun along the way. Whether you’re looking to dance professionally or just for the joy of it, Ballroom Factory is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

Ballroom Dance Factory in Patchogue is a well maintained and decorated dance studio that has one of the best and largest dance floors on Long Island. Significantly, the owner, Karolina, is a professional dancer with many years of teaching experience. Perhaps more importantly, Karolina and her other instructors teach the dances and steps that their students express an interest in learning, and do not impose a particular dance curriculum on them. Ballroom Factory also offers affordable group dance lessons, as well as private lessons for students who want to learn better technique and become more polished dancers. In addition, the studio organizes dance socials every other Friday evening so that students can practice what they have learned and mingle and enjoy the camaraderie of their fellow students and guests. At least twice a year, the studio also hosts spotlight dance showcases which are very popular with students and enable them to demonstrate the progress they have made in improving their dancing skills during the course of the year. I have been dancing at Ballroom Factory for several years now and highly recommend that you come and join the enjoyment of learning to dance. Bob Clasen

My wife, Tania, and I started going here a year ago. We did dance lessons briefly when we got married 12 years ago and we always felt so alive. Being married with two kids can sometimes make you feel a little distant so we took a chance, and I googled the nearest dance studio and we went and fall in love with this place. Karolina, the owner, is such a special human being and on our first lesson, we both were in tears cause we felt like kids again and we had so much fun. We’ve been going for over a year and we’ve really enjoyed doing the showcases and just having a community. You could go for $200 dinners with your spouse every week and never get the level of connection you get at the studio. The lessons are reasonably priced and totally worth it for the attention you get. She could teach anybody to dance and she has a special gift and it’s such a great community. Come to one of the practice sessions and bring friends and have your life changed. Can’t say thanks enough. Thank you for changing our life Karolina.

my husband and I have been dancing at ballroom dance factory for over a year now. We were looking for a way to connect with each other since life is so crazy with two small kids. Dancing together weekly has literally saved our marriage and we absolutely love all of the instructors. Carolina, the owner, is amazing and helped us practice for the dance showcase that we performed in back in May. I highly recommend anyone to take dance lessons here. They also do a dance party every other Friday so that you can practice and have fun with other couples.

I have had the incredible pleasure of going to factory ballroom dance studio from October 2024-present. Karolina is by far the most dedicated, talented and professional dance instructor I have ever had the pleasure of working with, however every instructor in this studio has such an amazing ability to not only teach many different dances, but they possess an innate ability to inspire me personally to want to be better at what we are doing…. Amanda, Kayla, and Patel; Bravo!! Karolina, your team at Ballroom factory Rocks!! Kudos to you and your amazing instructors for a job very well done… I would recommend anyone who wants to learn to dance, don’t take my word for it, take an introductory lesson and you too will see for yourself… such a great time; and I’m truly enjoying living outside my BOX, and much further then I ever thought possible… and don’t forget, they do have group classes and Friday night socials… call or check out the website for more details!!

My wife and I enrolled in private lessons prior to our wedding June of this year. We went in knowing we needed A LOT of work in addition to figuring out our first dance (all we had was our song picked out). Over a span of 10 lessons, we learned the basics, fine tuned our routine, and had an amazing time while doing it. We went from nervous to fully confident with the help of the instructor. She wasn’t afraid to challenge us to be better to ensure our first dance was nothing short of perfect. As someone who doesn’t dance often, after the lessons my wife and I plan to go back just for fun! I cannot recommend Ballroom Factory Dance Studio enough!

After 2 years learning to dance at another Long Island studio, I came, as a single male in my 50s, to Ballroom Factory (BF). I was looking for a studio where I could continue learning the art of ballroom dance, in a warm, friendly, professional, and welcoming environment. Karolina and her staff delivered with world class private instruction, group classes, and Friday evening practice sessions that are the best I've experienced. Karolina adapts the intensity of our lessons to my abilities. The teaching approach and her ability to break down the dance elements in a simple, understandable, method is refreshing. Male instructors, Pavel and Mitch, are always watching practice sessions and provide, critique, guidance and "sideline" coaching, just because. The facility is warm and welcoming. The dance floor is very well maintained If you are single, a couple, or a group of friends who together want to learn to dance, I strongly recommend the Ballroom Factory as a place where you can have a fun, awesome experience

The Ballroom Factory, and specifically Karolina, was absolutely the best choice wife made to prepare us for our first dance. Karolina was meticulous, yet soft in her approach and choreographed a simple, yet elegant dance that made our special day that much more special. Whether you are novices like us, or well-seasoned, I'm sure you will find value in your experience at this studio!
