We sent her the music and she was able to put together AND trained us a few times in that 75 minutes! On the wedding day, our guests were really impressed and we felt great about our dance as well! Can't recommend Asiya enough!

We used the event space @ Ikonic Dance Atlanta for one of our pre-wedding events on October 2, 2014…read moreand we couldn't have been more pleased! From the very beginning, Casey and Milton were SUPER professional and flexible when it came to booking, viewing and ultimately reserving the event space. They went out of their way to deliver excellent customer service, on many instances coming in to the venue before/after hours to accommodate my family's schedule. They stayed throughout the entire event and were extremely responsive to any requests we had through the entire event. I highly recommend this company. Our event had roughly 100 people and we utilized the smaller of the 2 event spaces and it was MORE than enough room. We brought in our own food and beverages and the team at Ikonic Dance allowed us to use their kitchenette space, as well as 50 in house chairs and tables. There were 2 restrooms as well as a waiting area at the front of the venue. They had a freshly installed wood dance floor completed before our event which was an added benefit. The facility overall is in EXCELLENT condition.

Tl;dr Great energy but very repetitive routines. These Zumba classes weren't as exciting to me but…read moreyou may like them- they're easy to follow! Every instructor has their own style, so id heavily recommend to try a few classes first before committing! Z U M B A C L A S S E S I've attended Sat and Mon classes taught by LeSonya Letona. I love her energy and excitement! However she only has a select some 10-15 songs and recycles them. If you like very repetitive movements and easy dance moves, then shes a great Zumba instructor for you. She was too repetitive in my opinion. It's very easy to follow along with her. By the second time I went to her class, I could already remember/guess her moves. The evening classes usually have about 10-20 people per class. The morning classes often have 5-10 people per class. I like upbeat and personable instructors who encourage individual expression, and teach various dance moves. Although zumba has a lot of repetition, I want to be able to keep up while continuously learning some new moves/expression. A little challenge makes it a great workout! W A I T No need to come early. Just arrive 5 mins prior or on time to class! P R I C E I bought a 10 class Groupon here because I just moved here and wanted to look for Zumba classes to try out since bay club and 24hr fit isn't available near me. $10 walk in class $45 5 classes $60 10 classes $70 monthly unlimited For just the classes and the quality of classes, I think the price is definitely too steep.

It's located near Costco! 2997 Cumberland Blvd Suite 230 Atlanta, GA 30339 B E C A R E F U L If you want to add your own little flair/expressions, make sure you stand in the back! Otherwise the manager will come up to you and tell you off. (Ie: When we are moving forwards, two steps to the left and two steps forward, the instructor doesn't move her hands, but I add my flair and do a pulling motion with my hands and arms as if I'm pulling myself forward. This is not ok!) ____ MY ENCOUNTER The manager told me it wasn't ok to change up the moves so I nicely apologized to her and then also approached LeSonya and apologized to her as i didn't want for her to think I was disrupting/being rude. LeSonya responded kindly and said she didn't think I was, but she didn't want the new people to be detered by any variation. So I just said I'd stand in the back. I don't want drama. I'm just here to enjoy the music and workout. I thought it was weird because they don't have to look at me..? We can watch whoever we want. Also, I was standing on the very side of front row. I wasn't making my own routine but only adding my own personality. I've never heard of this type of complaint in my few years of attending zumba classes at other facilities. Every instructor has their own style, so id heavily recommend to try a few classes first before committing! This place wasn't my cup of tea but it may be yours!! LA Fit is just a better fit for my fitness journey.

The passion, technique, and energy from the team of teachers and other students is amazing. She loves Luma. They have many class options for recreation and competitive- and if you're not ready to make a determination it's easy to take a drop in class and see for yourself. One thing I appreciate especially is how the owner (who is super talented !) recruits local choreographers and guest talent to work with the students as well for variety and expanded opportunities. Thank you Luma!

Whether you're looking to brush up on your rusty ballet basics or pick up some high-energy hip hop steps, you'll feel welcome and have a great time.

The studios are also very lovely and clean, with good acoustics and beautiful natural light.

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.

This place is great! Admittedly, I've only been here once (so far) but in my quest for fitness, I…read morehave rarely come across a place where I walked in, talked to someone, and immediately thought, "I love it here". And, it got better. The facility is a bit hidden off of Collier Rd. but once you find it, there's plenty of parking. The entrance area has racks of costumes (most belly dance) that are for sale and they are gorgeous. The woman who handled me informed that they are the largest importer of belly dance costumes in the country. I got all signed up and was using an 8-class card I bought from Half Off Depot (this is an AMAZING deal - go buy one now). The nice lady gave me some info. about the Zumba class I'd be taking and then I just hung out and waited for it. While I was waiting, I perused their display of jewelry and realized that they quickly became my absolute hands-down favorite jewelry store in Atlanta. The line is called "RuePera" and it's exactly the style of jewelry I love and I may be broke if I continue to attend classes here because I may buy every piece. Showing a tremendous amount of self-restraint, I left after class with only one new bracelet. The Zumba instructor was LaWanda and she was awesome. The class was awesome and so much fun. It was my first Zumba class and I'm completely sold on it. I plan to go back for it next week but I'm also really excited about attending a HoopDance class, which uses hula hoops! I love to hula hoop. The studio where the classes are is very large, with a nice dance floor and mirrors, and it appears to be capable of being set up as a performance space, as well... I think they rent it out for parties, too. In general, their whole facility is very large, and it's really nice. The people here are super nice and they offer a lot of different classes, pretty much all on evenings and weekends. This is definitely one of my favorite dance/fitness facilities I have discovered so far. I'll definitely be back!

However, I found out that the front desk has been overcharging people... and I believe it because when I asked how much the class was he hemmed and hawed, looked at me for a while, and then finally gave me a price. There should be nothing to think about, it costs what it costs. I'd hate to go elsewhere because I like the instructors here, but I have to say with my overall experience, I'd rather keep looking for a place to shed my sweat.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dance With Me!…read more My fiancé and I have wanted to take dance classes for years, and we were thrilled to start our lessons here. Coming in with practically zero dance experience--and not much natural rhythm--I initially felt self-conscious and intimidated, but the incredibly kind and welcoming staff put me at ease right away. We've had lessons with Oscar, Tristen, and Olga, and every single session has been an absolute joy. They are not only skilled instructors, but also patient, encouraging, and so much fun to work with. Tay has also been amazing, always helping us with scheduling and making us feel right at home. It's been so exciting to see how much we've improved with each lesson. We genuinely look forward to every class, and learning to dance together has turned out to be such a fun and romantic experience. I only wish we had started sooner! The studio itself is stunning--warmly furnished, immaculately kept, and located in a convenient spot behind the mall with its own easy-to-access parking lot. The area is well-lit, safe, and never overcrowded, which makes every visit a pleasure. If you've ever considered dance lessons, do it here. Dance With Me is a class act--10/10 all the way.

I initially started taking classes to help build my confidence, but my reason for staying is entirely different. Not only am I more confident, I'm more outgoing, I'm more willing to try new things, and my anxiety over social situations have decreased drastically. The Sunday after my introductory lesson, my Pastor noticed I was carrying myself differently and made a comment about it. When I say this specific Dance With Me location has the most inviting, friendly, encouraging staff, I mean it! Everyone is welcome, and taking classes here has shown me that anybody can be a dancer. I was concerned because I'm plus sized, and I thought I might experience some limitations, but being here taught me that I was the only thing holding me back. The instructors have so much faith in us students and gently push us out of our comfort zones. If you're hesitant, I really think you should give it a try!
