Located between Little 5 Points and Candler Park, this belly dancing studio is in a perfect spot to…read moreattract people who are a little more open-minded about jiggling their gut in front of others. They have a studio where you can learn how to shake it in many different ways, but you can also rent their professional belly dancers for many events. But no, guys, no bachelor parties! I often almost run over the belly dancing students as they mill around the studio, waiting for it to open. A friend of mine goes to class there every week and she loves it! But she wears a tank top, she just imagines the jiggle. And if you're willing to go and try it out, there's no way you won't be able to find this joint- there is a giant silhouette of a belly dancer painted on the side of the building.

Ballet has truly been a game-changer for me, and The Atlanta Dance Academy has played a huge role…read morein that transformation. I take the Adult Beginner Ballet and Barre classes. Kara Jacobson is a phenomenal instructor, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping each dancer grow. She creates such a welcoming and supportive environment, where I feel both safe and encouraged to push myself. Her focus on technique and alignment is just what I needed as someone starting later in life. Every class is challenging in the best way and leaves me feeling stronger, more graceful, and more confident. What I love most is how this space feels like a true community. The energy is positive, and the staff is friendly. Whether you're brand new to ballet or getting back into it, I can't recommend this studio enough. Coming here has been one of the best decisions I've made for my body and mind. I always leave feeling inspired!

I shared with her that I had no experience but was looking to learn in a fun environment. She recommended Mr.C's Beginners Ballet. I mentioned that I read the description and that the class was not a 101 class. She was friendly and encouraged me so I thought I would give it a shot. When I arrived I shared with the woman wearing glasses at the check in desk that this was my first time. She was short with me and I had to ask where to go until the class started. I came out before class started and mentioned it looked as though everyone had quite a bit of experience. The three women at the front including Sarah assured me that it would be uncomfortable but to give it a try. I even asked if Mr.C would yell and they all said no. I had and eerily similar experience to the other reviewers with no experience. I was berated throughout the entire class. Even while I cried Mr. C persisted on critiquing me. He moved my head and forced me to look at him. I also lost the will to continue when everyone had to dance across the room. As he was shouting that I had to do it I calmly said I had enough. I went to gather my thing and he thrust his hands at me and shouted, "NEVER COME BACK!" As I put my shoes on in the lobby not one of the three women said a word. I would not recommend TADA. My goal was to learn, not be humiliated. This is not ok for anyone. I have read the review responses on Mr.C's background and I don't think this serves as an excuse for rude and unprofessional behavior. Perhaps just be direct and let adult beginners know that this isn't the place to learn. What I did take away was a reminder that when you are an expert and someone is a novice to always be patient and encouraging. The world could use more patience and kindness.

We left with the impression that we would receive a follow-up email explaining how to use the package and, more importantly, that there was no time limit on when we could use the classes. Months later, when I came back to use the remaining classes, I was told the package was no longer valid. This was never clearly communicated to us at the time of purchase. The classes themselves are alright, but not the best value. What really bothered us was how the situation was handled we felt misled and, frankly, scammed by the owner. Clear communication and honesty go a long way, and unfortunately, that was missing here.

This may have been the first, but first doesn't often equal best. Many of the ratings are first…read moreimpressions but after attending the studio for approx 1.5 years, I can confidently say that you will not reap the value of your $190 per month membership. Buy the deal packages if anything. Yes it's convenient but now that I'm at a different studio, I know the drive is worth it. Inconsistent quality of instruction, shoddy equipment that has caused injuries, shady downtime and schedules where you lose at least a month of membership throughout the course of a year (summer maintenance shutdown, series cancellations with no level equal backfill classes, etc) and deeply disappointing and disrespectful leadership who focuses on income sprints vs loyal membership and good communication. A business coach should know the cost of client acquisition is at least 6x higher than the cost of retention; teaching hundreds of thousands of students isn't a flex in boutique fitness unless you have a large, multi-location business. I've heard other horror stories I won't express here. As a client, you won't initially feel it, but as you go on you'll notice that you're treated as ignorant and as if you don't understand business and what clients want.

A dance instructor that I met a few years ago has been having private pop-up classes here, and I've…read morebeen attending. I know that there is a regular weekly schedule of classes as well. It's really easy to spot the location as you approach the shopping plaza from the south, and it took me less than 5 minutes to get here from I-285. The studio is nicely decorated, giving a comfy, welcoming feeling when you enter. This is in stark contrast to some studios I've gone to that are basic and drab. There is only space for one class at a time, but the floor is huge! I'm thinking there would be more than enough room for a class of 30 people. There are barres (the portable kind) for hosting ballet classes, and weights of all sizes for fitness classes. The floor is kind of slippery, so if you tend to dance barefoot a lot and have soft feet (like me - definitely slipped a couple times lol) I'd suggest to at least wear some jazz footies with a grip bottom. There is ample cubbie space to store your belongings during class. There's even a good amount of waiting room for parents if you're looking to hold a class for children. Also there is a dressing room in addition to one unisex bathroom. On my way out, I spoke to the owner who was extremely friendly and mentioned that the studio has several time slots open for rentals at the moment. Dance instructors - check this place out!

Dancefx is a not-for-profit so they really rely on and commit to the community. Plus, they are SO AFFORDABLE! They've got a ton of classes and events coming up and they sell clothes there, as well so you can make your tutu and leotard dreams come true. If you've ever even thought about taking a dance lesson this is the place to go. All the instructors were amazing in showing us how to merengue! (Sp?) They teach all ages from 2.5 years and up, so there's no reason to be shy. They even have babysitting events so mom & dad can go out while the little ones get some energy out!

I'm not going to lie, I was pretty intimidated myself when we attended a Yelp Elite event at this place and our instructor, Emi, told us we would be learning how to do the merengue(I thought that was pie?). Ok, moving on... Emi was super friendly and didn't make any of us feel like we were too stiff to be there (thank God, I saw bullets streaming down hubby's face when we pulled into the parking lot). The event we attended was called Elites Get Coupled, which was appropriate given that it was almost Valentine's Day. Though my guy was totally nervous about this, I'm so glad we went! Emi, along with Lorien, taught us some merengue moves, and it turns out almost anyone can learn to dance. We felt pretty good about our abilities by the end of the event! Lorien brought in her all-girl hip-hop group (I think they're part of the Pin-Up Troupe?), and they were SO COOL... and talented, obviously. I could have watched these ladies perform all day!! Though they may have had me feeling like my new merengue moves were a little lame, at least now I know I have something to work towards... right? One of the best parts about Dancefx is the fact that they're a non-profit and donate to all kinds of local charities that support causes like fighting AIDS, helping the homeless and people with disabilities, and so on. I think it'd be such a thoughtful date idea to bring someone here and learn a couples dance! You get to know each other in a different way and can judge once and for all who's got better moves (I think we all know who won that dance off...wink wink). Plus, giving back to the community is icing on the cak--lemon meringue pie.
