My husband and I were very pleased with our lessons at Let's Dance. Our instructor Steven was so…read morekind, patient and personable. We just retired and moved to Maryville. We had only ever danced twice (as in two songs) since we met 30 years ago. So we are complete beginners, and my husband has always had a "fear" of dancing. : ) I'm happy to say Steven made our lessons painless, even fun. And he went at just the right pace, with plenty of repetition and review. Now my husband and I will be able to dance on our upcoming cruise, and hopefully at some other gatherings, as well. Thank you, Let's Dance!

We took lessons for several months and enjoyed them. We paused our classes for a vacation and then…read moresome other very private things happened in our lives and we Could no longer attend. We spoke with our instructor several months later (but we were on hold) and relayed our wishes to discontinue and receve a refund for our remaining lessons. We were told NO that to much time had passed. I messaged one of the owners Beth and she didn't even have the courtesy to acknowledge my message with a response. I know she read it because it showed as read! When they're trying to sell you a package they will say it's all totally refundable, "we don't want anyone here that doesn't want to be here" direct quote from Beth. Well evidently they do because they have refused to refund us for more than half the lessons we paid for. I'm not talking about a couple hundred dollars either. The lessons are very pricy over $2k. We were told to try and sell the lessons ourselves. Who could we possibly sell them to? Couldn't they sell them to the next couple in line for Bronze classes? That being another reason we couldn't enjoy taking weekly lessons, we were constantly being nagged to bring people in. It kinda takes the fun out of it when you have a someone who is constantly nagging you to nag your friends. Anyway long story short be very cautious when giving them your money. Make sure you're committed to months of lessons because you'll never see your money again!!!

I have taken three classes so far. After my first class I was a little unsure if id return, as the…read moreinstructor was very aggressive and it felt kinda like learning from a football coach or something. Im pretty soft spoken and im on the spectrum so im not a fan of that kind of vibe. I also have experience and can do many tricks, but bc i was so nervous i kept messing up and couldnt even do the basics, so i didnt end up enjoying the class at all. However, I returned later, booked a different instructor, and tried again. I ended up really enjoying it and feeling much better....The second time around i found a better fit with the instructor and class level. I think overall if you dont have a good experience, id say at least try once or twice with a different instructor. ***My only real complaint after these couple of classes is the mirrors around the studio.*** There are like 300 mirrors (antique looking) which is a cool aesthetic. HOWEVER, 97% of them have thick frames, aren't aligned with the poles, and dont give you a view of yourself from the pole or the ground. So youre basically learning blind, which for me is VERY difficult. Theres only about 2-3 poles with a really good view and they're right in front next to the front door. So if the class ends up being fully booked, most people end up not having a good view or mirror. Wish they would switch to having full length mirrors down the whole wall like most other studios do.

Don't go to this studio unless you want to be traumatized…read more The instructor was late to class, had no waivers available to sign (wasn't prepared), both of which I could have easily overlooked but one of the instructors actually cursed at me, knowing this was my first ever pole class. To provide context, I was attempting a hold I have never done and was doing it incorrectly (surprise!). Both instructors kept snipping at me sternly "you're going too fast" which I was. But I didn't know how to NOT go to fast. In desperation I asked -- how do I slow down? They attempted to help me and break it down but after one of the instructors said "you're just going too fucking fast" I broke. I'm not good with certain tones, it can be very triggering for me and I instantly had to focus on holding back tears. I ended up walking out of the class. It's obvious neither instructors have the experience to cater their knowledge to each participants specific levels and skills sets in a kind and conscientious way.

Think College Course DANCING 101.2 Lizza Jackson is our dance instructor. She has a Theatre and Dance BFA from the University of Arizona. She is the most patient and intuitive dance instructor we have had. She has a lesson plan each day. She listens to us and guides us through steps that are unfamiliar. She constantly praises us for our advancement and challenges us with new moves. She is witty and has a way of finding fun in everything she does. We can't say enough good about her and her passionate approach to the thing she loves best --- dancing. The facility is great and has a spring-loaded dance floor. Several dance instructors call this their home and every kind of dance imaginable is taught here. Once or twice a month they have themed group parties, usually with dance demonstrations by more experienced dancers. It is a large facility that is airy and very comfortable. COVID practices are in place and adhered to. There is plenty of free parking on site. Lizza has been dancing since she was a little girl and knows every kind of dance one would care to from ballet, to ballroom to country western. She is the real deal. Her rates are affordable, her schedule is highly flexible and she accepts new students with unbridled enthusiasm. So what are you waiting for? If you want to slip on your ballet slippers, cut the rug with a ballroom whirl, or giddy-up and git ready for a country hoedown, she is the one you should call. You can reach her on her business line: 865.556.1443. You'll be glad you did!

I don't know where to begin. This studio claims to have a positive atmosphere but DO NOT be fooled…read more False rumors are spread by the "director" (if she really deserves that title) about her paying customers. She tells other dancers and dance parents these rumors to turn everyone against them. Hannah Hale makes claims things have happened when she knows for a fact she made it up. She is a liar. If she truly had an issue with a dancer, she should go directly to the parent, however, she did not because she knows she is making stuff up. She is honestly not experienced enough to be teaching dance either. She puts people in pointe shoes way too early and when they are not ready. She also puts people in pointe shoes that DO NOT fit. She will ruin your child's feet and confidence. There is a reason SO many people have left in the past few years. All of these positive reviews are left by Hannah Hale's posse. She has asked them to leave these false reviews to make her business look good. Also, the floors are extremely dirty and never cleaned. If you want yours or your child's feet to be black and COVERED in grime within thirty minutes... this might be up your alley. Please go to any other dance studio in Knoxville and save yourself.

The set up, the acoustics, the ability to perform in a unique way. The theatre itself is in-the-round, which I'd only seen at a concert. It was great! The performers were coming in and out of performing up and down the aisles. It added an extra element of surprise, not knowing if they'd enter right by you, or you could see them entering across the theatre, before others knew it. The in-the-round also provided an interesting take on the acoustics. The sound was not just coming directly at you the entire time, but it was able to ebb and flow. Made me wonder if some theatre directors plan for that, and coach their actors to utilize that option. Looking at the line up of shows, there's a wide variety of performances. From contemporary, historic, and local shows, the space appeals to any and all!

Bit of a disclaimer: I am not an employee, nor am I a stakeholder in the corporation behind this…read morebrainchild of rock & roll, and awesomeness. After my experience here, I want to open a franchise of my own one day soon! I am not exactly reflective of a typical student either - I'm in my mid 30s, where this school is clearly aimed at much younger students. Please don't be fooled though, it's not just for kids! If you've always wanted to learn an instrument, this is the place! If you're competent, but want to get better, guess what? They have you COVERED, my brother/sister of melting faces with godly rock. Let me tell you a little story, if you're entranced enough to absorb my words. When I started my tutelage at the Knoxville School of Rock, I was already fairly experienced - as I had been playing guitar, and playing it relatively well for 16 years, give or take a year. I have jammed with dozens of bands, recorded albums, played shows, and even zealously followed true masters of the instrument(guitar) like Buckethead, Richie Blackmore, Zakk Wylde, Joe Satriani, Steve Howe, and Yngwie Malmsteen. However, after all of my skill and experience, I managed to hit a wall. I was in a stylistic/creative and musical rut that I hadn't been able to break out of for years. Within a week or two, I was out of the rut, and I developed better abilities far faster than I had on my own while I was a student. That said, if you're into Nicki Minaj, or something similar, you'll be living your best life. Or whatever they say. If you dig Rush, Priest, and the Scorpions, you'll be living after midnight! Blues or jazz more your scene? You're all set. School of Rock paired me up with not one, but two highly competent teachers of a PERFECT skill level after talking with me on the phone for about ten minutes, if that. There is an unbelievable amount of skill and care taken in student placement, no matter your experience. As an aside for the parents who may be reading, the middle-school aged kids that had their own organized band practice sounded better than about 95% of the semi-professional bands that I have played in, so it's clear that the program works. Bottom line, if you're starting out, have kids, or have played live for years but want to get better, this is a company that cares, and they're worth the investment! Speaking of investment, the first lesson is free, so you know it's good stuff! :)
