When comparing studios in Mill Valley, weigh the things that affect your week as much as the dancing: drive time, class-day options, tuition and costume fees, and whether the studio offers trial classes. Visiting in person — even for ten minutes during a class — tells you more about teaching style and atmosphere than any website.
