Dancing at Flow Studios.Taking dance lessons with my partner from Michael has been a huge boost in my confidence. Not only on the dance floor, but life in general. I never felt comfortable before when dancing with someone. Especially dancing together rather than beside someone. But lessons with Michael confirmed and opened up the thoughts and steps in a meaningful way that has allowed me to confidently dance with any partner on any dance floor to just about any type of music. Learning the basic techniques that can be used in a variety of ways as long as you keep an open imagination to expand and experiment with them. I think a big part to learning from Michael was the ability to let go of the ego and just enjoy the moment.

I started dancing with Michael for the first time during the Covid pandemic. First in his studio in Seattle, then when he moved to Mexico I knew I needed to go there to continue my dance journey. It was one of the things I wanted to accomplish during Covid. Not realizing how much I would resinate with this method to learn. I have been to Mexico twice in the last few months to continue my journey. It is fun and a great way to keep my body in shape and to let go of my inhibitions. I will continue this flow journey for the rest of my life. It has changed my confidence and it has helped keep me in a good place. Thank you Michael for your encouragement and the ability to make someone like me to believe in myself and my ability to become a dancer.

My soon to be wife and I loved our dance lessons with Michael. Neither of us have any rhythm or experience with dance so our main goal was simply not to embarrass ourselves at our wedding! After working with Michael we killed it! Everyone was very impressed and most importantly we felt great during our dance.We also really enjoyed the process of going to lessons and dancing together, with Michaels guidance we got much better at dance and got a welcome and fun respite from all the wedding planning madness! It was truly the best part of planning a wedding and the time we spent on our dance helped bring us closer.

Michael is a great dance teacher. He puts me at ease. His teaching style is non judgmental. I learn to dance through practice, exploration & overcoming fear of incompetence. I get to explore my own style, learn to follow (& lead), feel the connection with the dance floor, music & dance partner. It’s a work in progress but it’s so worth it!Along this path, I put together my own playlist & learn to dance to the beat & feel the music. Michael is your friendly & gentle guide. Another obvious benefit is losing weight in all the right places (especially around the abdomen & hip area). Body becomes more defined & toned.There are so many dance steps & styles out there. It can be confusing for a beginner. Ultimately, you have to start somewhere & I recommend wholeheartedly to begin your dance journey with the Flow 💃💃

Great place for dance lessons. Michael helped us preparing our wedding dance even though we had very little experience doing any kind of dancing together. After 4 lessons we had something ready, but chose to take a few more simply because it was fun. After the wedding we got lots of compliments. Michael is also very nice and friendly which made the learning experience easier. Definitely recommending him for all your dancing needs.

My Wife and I had an amazing experience working with Michael at Flow Studios. We came in with the general goal of learning how to dance better together and to learn some moves for our first dance. Michael exceeded our expectations in helping us reach both goals. We had a total of 5 classes with Michael and they were all organized, efficient, challenging, and really fun! He creates an environment that is non-intimidating and does an excellent job of slowly and thoughtfully progressing you with fun drills to build your dance skill repetoire. He also helped us with some crowd-pleasing, fun choreography for different parts of our first dance. I feel like dance classes have the potential to be stressful, but his class was by far our favorite part of wedding preparation. I would highly recommend Flow Studios to couples of all skill levels who are looking to learn how to dance together!

Michael and his studio have been a pleasant surprise. Having no dance experience I entered his program with a little hesitation but found myself enjoying starting from the bottom and working my way up. Micheals program is geared for those willing participants to start from nothing and get right to dancing and learning how to build a dance from the basics.I would recommend any young couple wanting a fun date night, or just a reason to get off the couch and move to check this place out. My lessons with my wife have been an absolute joy.

I cannot say enough positive things about Michael and Flow! My husband and I had so much fun taking classes with him leading up to our wedding. He did a great job teaching us how to move together to all different types of music and now we look forward to any opportunity to dance together. His lessons allowed us to go into our first dance with confidence and get completely lost in the moment dancing together. Were still receiving compliments on our dance over a month after our wedding! We will definitely be signing up for more lessons.

We’ve been taking weekly lessons from Michael for over a year now. Two surprising results, we’ve really found this to be great time together as a couple, different from the typical activity, more in tune with each other and very playful. Also, on a day that has been full of stress and we are exhausted but still show up for our lesson, it’s an amazing stress reducer and at the end of our dance lesson we are energized and the stress is completely gone. Amazing! Michael is so encouraging and insightful ... truly a pleasure to “work” with!

Michael is a very talented and amazing teacher.The first couple of sessions at Flow were challenging for me as I had zero dance experience but Michael really breaks it down and makes you feel comfortable right away. The studio is very well maintained and spacious. His method of teaching helps you learn to feel the dance so you are not a programmed robot, counting/memorizing steps, remembering when to turn etc. I never felt overwhelmed as Michael encourages, complements and teaches so well. He actually makes the sessions enjoyable and I keep coming back to learn more and more!He has definitely made the sessions fun. Also, I hate working out so this is the best option for me to stay active - both mentally and physically. It is quite the workout! Highly recommend. Thank you Michael!

Look at all the great ratings from everyone!We were 3 months out to our wedding, and over the course of a summer, Michael took us from complete novices to... well, still novices, but novices who successfully pulled off our goal of a first dance that was meaningful to us and we loved. And we had a lot of fun along the way, as he did a nice job of balancing constructive feedback to help us grow, with giving us the right amount of new information each session, to just making the sessions fun! I would always leave with a smile on my face, and loved the chance to get to better know and connect with my partner as we learned and tried something new. Highly recommend.

My wife and I wanted to learn to dance for our wedding and we hired Michael to plan the dance out. I had no training in dancing and it really showed. He started with just having me walk to the beat of the music. After a few weeks of training from Michael my wife and I had an awesome first dance at our wedding. We got lots of complements and really enjoyed the dance. I would highly recommend Michael as a teacher and we plan on continuing our training with him.

Michael helped my wife and I get ready for our first dance at our wedding and we couldnt be happier with him! As someone with little to no dance experience, he made it both comfortable and fun for my wife and I. Our first dance got us numerous compliments and we couldnt have done it without Michael! I would highly recommend working with him whether you are a beginner with two left feet (me) or a former professional ballet dancer (my wife).

My wife and I have what is probably a typical marriage....wife loves to dance, husband, well, not so much. Whenever we were at an occasion that included dancing she would usually dance by herself or with similarly burdened women. As a New Years resolution I was looking for something my wife and I could learn together and that would get me out of my comfort zone.....dancing certainly fit that bill. As luck would have it an article appeared in the Seattle Times about Flow and MIchael, and his technique sounded like just what we were looking for. We took our introductory lesson about 15 months ago and are still learning and growing with Michael. It is not an exaggeration to say that Michael has given my wife and I a great gift.....something we can enjoy together for the rest of our lives.

Michael has been so great! He is warm and friendly and non-judgmental, all great qualities for someone new to dancing. My fiance and I chose to start learning to dance so we dont embarrass ourselves for our first dance. Michael has been so patient and encouraging and we finally feel like we can really dance. It has been great! My fiance, who never danced before finally enjoys dancing!

We spent the last week or two learning dance with Michael. We were brainstorming and practicing our wedding first dance, but realized after a few minutes that we were in need of help. So, we called Flow Studios. It was the best choice we made. He helped us learn to move together and figure out our first dance. Not to mention, Michael is a really nice guy... he is easy going and will be patient even when people like myself have horrible rhythm. Thanks again Michael for your help!

We had a great time learning to Dance for our wedding. Mike is an awesome teacher. I would highly reccomend this class for anyone looking to improve their dance skills, or just looking to have a fun time!

Can’t recommend Flow Studios enough. I started my first class intimidated by dance and frustrated. I didn’t understand what I should be doing and felt silly dancing at weddings and parties. I’ve had 5 classes with Micheal and my perspective has changed. We started with the very basics and I’m now dancing without thinking, I understand how to work with partners of different skill levels (surprisingly important even for beginners) and I’ve been shown plenty of steps that I can use no matter what music is playing. If you’re like me and you’ve avoided dance because you don’t understand it and you don’t feel comfortable on the dance floor, Flow will help you. I highly recommend this business.

Michael is a true visionary. From this tiny corner of Seattle, his unique approach to teaching is pioneering in the world of dance. If you have never danced before or youre experienced and are looking to break through barriers youve been stuck in, Michael will get you there. Because of Michael and Flow Studios, I have a new . relationship with dance and am far more confident on and off the dance floor.

Mike is a fantastic teacher. He really has a gift for teaching people to hear beats and move to them. My fiance and I took dance lessons from Mike to prepare for our first dance at our wedding, and we are gonna kill it. My fiance is not... naturally talented, but now we can dance to any music at a concert or wherever without feeling self conscious or silly. Its a lot of fun and a great life skill.

Michael is a wizard at teaching people how to dance. My fiancé and I went from stepping on each other’s toes to being confident enough to dance to a tricky song for our wedding! Highly recommend to anyone looking to acquire a new and useful skill like dancing !

Thank you Michael Haug and Flow Studios for getting my husband and I to love dancing! We took both private and group classes with Mike and he was such a great teacher. He taught us to flow with confidence so we could dance at our wedding. We thoroughly enjoyed our classes with Mike and highly recommend him to anyone, at any level, who wants to learn how to dance.

My wife and I took lessons from Michael before our wedding. Hes a great instructor and we were happy with the progress we made. Highly recommend.

If you want to do something good for yourself take a dance class with Michael.Jim Halvorson

I really enjoyed learning to dance at Flow. Michaels approach to teaching is amazing!
