I signed my children up for dance lessons at Shanon's Dance Academy and it is seriously one of the…read morebest decisions I have ever made for them. This area has a lot of dance studios but what drew me to Shanon's is that she has a heart of gold and treats everyone with courtesy and respect. Her warm demeanor, pride in her studio, and care for her students and their parents really shine through in every interaction I have with her. She is also a true professional who is quick to reply to any emails with any questions I may have. Just as importantly, Shanon's Dance Academy students are under the tutelage of the fabulous Ms. Martha. Under Ms. Martha's firm, no-nonsense approach, my kids have really improved in their dancing skills over the past year and their love of dance has only grown. And although Ms. Martha doesn't coddle her students, she possesses the necessary balance between being tough and gentle at the same time. She treats my kids and all dancers with dignity so that when she gives them constructive criticism, they actually want to improve and work hard to do so. Shanon and Ms. Martha are a real team and they put on an amazing end-of-the-year recital each June that my entire family looks forward to. My kids have been in two recitals so far and the recital experience is one that I really feel has been a positive in their development. I could go on in my praising of Shanon's Dance Academy but I will end my review by saying that my kids always come home from their respective dance classes in a better mood than before they went. And they recently told me that they never want to stop dancing! It is my hope that they never do - and I am so grateful that their love of dance, as well as their technique, is being nurtured and developed at Shanon's Dance Academy!

I am not sure about this place yet...but I do know they really have terrible customer service. I…read morecalled to sign my daughter up and spoke to a very unfriendly girl who was unhelpful. There is no online sign up. Their hours in the office for sign up in the summer are 2 days a week at inconvenient times and when I asked if I could sign up over the phone the girl said "sorry, I can't right now. I am busy" i am wondering if it's even worth trying it out at this point.

It's the best dance studio in Birmingham. We had horrible experience with studio A. This studio is…read moregreat for the girls who really wants to dance.

My dad and I worked with James to choreograph the Daddy/Daughter dance for my wedding. We started…read morewith very little dance experience and after 5-6 sessions with James, we felt confident enough to dance in front of 350+ people! He was SO patient, non-judgmental, fun and a great teacher - He taught in a way that we improved every single class. Not to mention, he squeezed us into his schedule that same day I called. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a spectacular dance for your wedding. Thank you, City Style Tango!

James and Erin at City Style Tango are honestly the best! James and Erin are very personable and…read moremake you feel welcome! We contacted them about two months before our wedding wanting to have our first dance choreographed and taught to us, neither of us having an prior dance experience, and they gladly accepted. With only 5 lessons we mastered the dance! James was amazing and worked one on one with us and if something wasn't working, he tweaked it. The dances we had choreographed were to Better Together by Jack Johnson and Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy. While country music wasn't what they typically work with, they did an amazing job and gladly accepted the challenge. I would highly recommend City Style Tango for any type of dance lessons as I can say from experience that you will not regret it. Thank you so much James and Erin for taking the time to work with us, we really appreciated it and had an awesome time learning to dance with you!

We were very happy with the experience, Mr. Collins is a great teacher. He teaches some theory that was appreciated and taught us moves for us to fit to our song so that by the end we had a "routine" that was basically choreographed, but also the knowledge to wing it/get back on beat if we mess up :)

I would stay away from here based on the Owner, Blake, being very rude, arrogant and lazy. He was…read morefar too lazy to park in one of the hundreds of parking spots behind the building and had to park 5 feet from the door to the business. Not only did this mean that he was blocking a handicap access ramp but he also very obviously blocked in my car. After checking a few other nearby businesses trying to find out who's vehicle it was, I checked at Birmingham Ballroom. Instead of being professional and apologetic, Blake was beyond rude and smug when I asked him if it was his vehicle. It is very apparent that this guy thinks he walks on water and cares about no one but himself.
