I’ve been taking classes here for the last few years and absolutely love the team here! They make beginner level ballroom classes very approachable for those of us who are not advanced. Several competitive dancers take classes here as well for those looking for advanced level dancing. Jessica, Amber, Vanessa and Amanda are all so welcoming and know how to teach to all levels. Appreciate this dance studio and its central location! Thank you for giving me such a wonderful outlet to dance in and have met so many amazing friends along the way!! - Tionna Van Gundy
