Dancing is a beautiful expression of life. I've been working hard since the move to Asheville, so I…read moredecided it was time to play! A co-worker of mine was talking about how she had taken belly dancing classes with Lisa Zahiya, owner of Studio Zahiya. I talked to another co-worker of mine about it, and we all signed up for the Level 1 series. I love this studio! A very nice space with speakers to pump up the music (to get you going!) and mirrors everywhere to watch your technique. Lisa is an amazing instructor! Very funny and light hearted, while being very thorough with her teaching and always asking us if we had any questions. Our class was an 8 week series where we learned techniques and a choreography. I looked forward to every week! The best part was that our series ended right when they had planned a Winter Dance Spectacular at The Orange Peel and she offered us to perform our choreography as part of the show! I was completely thrilled and most of the class came out to perform! It was a great bonding experience and we all had so much fun! I highly recommend Studio Zahiya if you are looking to dance. They offer such a variety of dance classes and for very reasonable prices. No excuses to get up and move your body, baby! Go get 'em!

I am a bi-weekly attendee of their hip hop fitness class, but I enjoying trying out several others including: ballet fitness, chair dancing, hip hop choreography and so many more. I'm really excited to try out a few more this year when time allows. Their classes are offered at varying times throughout the day allowing easy access for all kinds of schedules. Seriously, drop in classes are $6 and the value is astronomical. You can sign up on their website or through the MindBody App. It is too easy and the best/ most fun workout you'll have all week!

All the members and teachers are supportive and fun and it is a safe and exciting environment to better myself as a dancer in way more styles than I was even aware I could do! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun way to exercise, a new fun hobby, or even a date night where a couple can reconnect and learn to communicate in a whole new way together. I give it five stars because even though I thought I would just temporarily join, it has become a huge part of my life and I am the happier for it.

The owner, Maui, is very kind and I talked to her at both times I visited, and she even remembered me! The inside of the dance studio is so fun with lots of colored lights. The teachers are also kind and very good at teaching and keeping the energy up!!! The price is not bad at all, and they have package deals where you can get a discount buying 10 classes at a time. I paid $12 for a class, highly worth it. They have so many types of classes with different genres of music, so there is something for everyone. Come for a fitness class, or come to learn choreography, they have it both!

My 6-year-old daughter was on their competitive dance teams. She asked to go to the bathroom during…read morea 2-hour dance team rehearsal. The kids drink water from their bottles all of class as they are thirsty. Other students had been allowed to go to the bathroom but her teacher would not allow her to go. Well, about 15 minutes later, my daughter started crying because she was in pain. The teacher yelled at her and called her a baby for crying and finally let her go. I texted and e-mailed the studio manager and owner several times. I received no response for several days. My daughter's dance contract said that she could not miss regardless or she was off the team. The next day she had to attend class with the same teacher for 2.5 hours. My daughter told me that the teacher had started hurting her. The teacher was grabbing my daughter's hands and wrists during class pretending that she was helping her dance and squeezing her very tightly. . . . I did not let my daughter return. I had to take her to the doctor twice and to urgent care once to have her arms and wrists looked at and to be treated for the bladder infection that was created because her teacher would not allow her to go the bathroom when she needed. The school breached the dance contract by not maintaining the safety of my daughter. The owner e-mailed that she would be returning the rest of my daughter's dance team payments to me after I said that I would not be sending her back. She never sent me anything.

They spend just as much time with the first year students as they do with the seasoned. They also are just as invested in the growth of the recreational dancers as they are their company girls.

This isn't the first studio that my girls have danced at, but I couldn't imagine moving anywhere else.

I highly recommend you find somewhere else as this place is just a giant money pit. They are basically thieves.

The routine planned for us was easy enough for beginners, but challenging enough at the same time. Our instructor was AMAZING! She was patient, inspiring, and so much fun!
