My love for Alchemy of Movement is so big that it's difficult to put into words…read more I moved to CO for grad school almost 10 years ago, and I was planning to leave at the end of my program until I found Alchemy. Alchemy has given me access to amazing dance, exercise, strength (both physical and emotional), increased confidence as a dancer and a human, experiences that have helped me tap into my own creativity, and some of my absolute favorite people whom I would be lost without. I want to give a special shout out to the owner, Ashley Patchen. She is one of the kindest, most driven, tenacious, hardworking, creative, silly, amazing people I know. Her vision for the studio is what has made Alchemy what it is today, and for that I am eternally grateful

I joined Alchemy of Movement less than a week ago and I am already in LOVE with their welcoming,…read morefun, warm, genuine and liberating energy. Every instructor and Ashley, the owner, are super friendly and they put you at ease when you step into the studio. You can tell that this isn't a typical fitness or dance studio where you come and go and don't get a chance to meet anyone. This is family and a MOVEMENT with a BIG MISSIOn that inspires everyone to be themselves, to express their unique quirks and personalities through movement and that you don't have to be a dancer or professionally trained at all in order to feel amazing about yourself and most importantly to just have fun!!! Thank you for creating this sanctuary, Ashley and thank to every instructor and member to contributing to the energy of this place.

My 7 year old Daughter who has been trained in Ballet since 2.5 years old, has taken a variety of classes at O Dance as well as a couple of summer camps. She loves it!!! Personally I was always impressed by the quality of teaching and what the teachers accomplished to pull together in short amounts of time for little productions at Boulder fares or just for family to watch. My Daughter loves it there and she has learned more dance moves and choreography whilst having fun versus at a more disciplined dance school such as Boulder Ballet. The teachers selected to teach at O Dance seem to have the right balance to keep the pupils focused on learning the correct postures and steps, whilst keeping the fun very much part of the lessons. I very much recommend this dance studio to anyone looking for a good dance program for their child. Can't speak of the adult classes as I have not taken one myself. But all thumbs up on the youth programs and camps. Way to go O Dance Studio!!

This is a great place to dance. The owner (Isaac) and staff here (Rafia and Peyton) are always…read morewarm, encouraging and friendly. The Arthur Murray dance method is methodical and flexible. It can't be easy training so many different ages and skill levels to dance, but they manage to make everyone feel welcome and teach at the level you need. I was a ballet dancer growing up, so need a lot of instruction on ballroom style and technique, but can pick up dance steps quickly. My husband is a martial artist with absolutely zero dance experience. He has different strengths and challenges from me in learning to dance. Rafia manages to teach each of us at our levels without either of us being bored or frustrated. And we're always having fun and laughing in our lessons. The instructors are great in keeping it focused but fun and relaxed. We've been with the studio for 2 years now. The way this Arthur Murray works is, you pay for the private lessons, and as long as you do at least one every two weeks, you can go to unlimited group classes, which they typically have each night during the week (depending on your level, you might be able to attend 3-4 of them). When you start, an instructor will ask which dances you're interested in, if you know, and help you figure out where you want to start. They offer pretty much every ballroom dance under the sun. We're most interested in the latin dances, so have been learning Cha Cha, Tango, Argentine Tango, Salsa, Rumba, Merengue and Samba. We've also sprinkled in some Swing, Country, Waltz and Foxtrot just from attending group classes. They start with basic steps, and each dance has a syllabus, so you progress carefully, consistently and thoughtfully into more complex movements. They're great about COVID social distancing. Everyone is always wearing a mask correctly - students and teachers. If you're worried about being in public, they offer Zoom lessons, or you could just opt to do personal lessons rather than come to the groups (which is what we've been doing for months.) On a bigger picture, if you're thinking of learning ballroom dance, get out there and do it. I've wanted to for years but felt held back by time and cost. Now that I'm doing it, I so wish I had found a way to start earlier. It's a really therapeutic part of my week. I get to take time out for myself, connect with my husband (there's a lot of work in the simple act of leading and following), and train in something I hope will continue with us for a lifetime. Plenty of people aren't partnered and take lessons alone. The instructors are wonderful for that as well, and group classes, if you're comfortable with the idea of dancing with others, allow you to meet and practice with other people - both partnered and solo, as the instructors always give the option to each student on whether they want to switch partners or not. I cannot recommend this studio highly enough. Give it a try!

They have everything from hip-hop and ballet, to movement classes like Nia and Pilates. This is a good thing because movement classes can help a growing dancer by keeping them strong and limber without overtaxing dancing muscles and tendons. Their pricing structure makes a lot of sense, pay for a semester that would follow the local schools schedule. You can also pay monthly and annually, but they don't follow the class schedule. I thought the expression classes would be something great for any child, dressing up as characters and trying to express them through movement. What fun.
