- MWMarley WellsDec 19, 20255.0My Husband and I took an intro class and two private lessons before our first dance at our wedding. I really wanted it to be a low key, but special dance. We chose a not so common song that we had our band make an arrangement for. I'll get to the point. WE LOVED EVERY SECOND OF THIS EXPERIENCE. We knocked our dance out of the park and the spins and the dips made it so fun and cool. However, I think our favorite piece of it was the actual lessons, getting to spend that kind of time working together to create a dance we will remember forever. If you are getting married it is such a wild time and getting moments like those are so so important. We always walked out beaming. The entire staff is awesome. Their energy, understanding, and creativity were everything I could have asked for. This is your sign to take the dance class. One of the best decisions I made.
- BHBruce HassonDec 10, 20255.0What a fun an enthusiastic studio. The joy in sharing the art of dance is part of the fabric that makes each teacher a true professional. Andre and Lacey are incredible at creating a fun and easy atmosphere for each and every student. From new students to advanced, everyone is well taken care of. They love what they do and it shows. 5stars times 2 ❤️💃🏽🥂

This was a great event that we look forward to returning to in the future. This is a beautiful venue that is very clean, modern, and well-equipped!
