  Simone Assboeck is a 5 star dance teacher. I've been dancing for years and taking lessons. Simone's private lessons are tailored to each student or couple. She creates "a plan" which unfolds as one progresses. As a good teacher, she quickly identifies what to correct or improve and clearly articulates and demonstrates how to move correctly. It's a terrific way to learn and expand one's dancing and self-confidence. She's also loads of fun and imbues each lesson with her espirit de joie. I love her lessons.

  I have taken dance lessons in multiple styles with Simone for over 10 years. She took me from an absolute beginner to a solid, confident dancer. She is highly skilled at breaking down steps and patterns so that you can pick them up more easily, and she has an intuitive sense of matching the level of challenge to your current level of ability. More recently, I have started taking her lunchtime dance workout classes, and they are an excellent way to get some movement in during the work day, boosting your mood and energy level when you might be hitting a lull. Highly recommend learning dance and/or taking a dance workout class with Dance Together NYC! Edited to add: A year later, after doing the lunchtime dance workout consistently, I have noticeable definition in my upper arms from doing only a few minutes of exercises with light weights (1-2 lbs) during each class. I don't go to the gym and these results are from just from the consistency of being in this class.

  Simone was fabulous!!! My dad and I took multiple lessons with Simone for our father daughter dance at my wedding and my now husband and I took multiple lessons for our first dance. She is a great teacher and motivator and we looked forward to each lesson because they were fun! My younger sister is now taking lessons with Simone too in prep for her wedding in the spring. I would highly recommend Simone to anyone!

  We began taking virtual dance lessons with Simone as a way to stay active safely during the pandemic. It has now been over 3 years and, though we could now take in-person lessons locally, we would miss Simone too much! She is knowledgeable, patient, and so engaging. She has a wonderful sense of humor and makes each lesson so enjoyable and fun. Each week we look forward to seeing Simone—she is a terrific dance instructor who feels like an old friend.

  Simone is an amazing teacher! We have had so much fun learning from her and joking with her and getting to know her. She does an incredible job catering to beginners, and slowly building the level of intensity as your skills increase. Plus, she teaches these dances in a way that is structured so that you can improvise dancing out on your own to a variety of songs, incorporating the moves that she teaches to you in your own way. By far the best dance teacher I have ever had, and also just a fun person to learn from! Looking forward to continuing virtual classes as long as they are offered.
