Back when I was a USF grad student, I was on a search to take my first hip hop class. I was…read moreenamored with all the amazing hip hop dancers I was seeing in movies, on tv, and on the internet. I would drive to and call dance studio after dance studio, but they would either not offer adult classes or their adult hip hop classes were taught by contemporary or jazz dancers. It just wasn't what I was looking for. One day, one of these jazz dancers teaching the hip hop class told me about VYB and Demario Henry. Once I took my first class at VYB, I was disappointed in myself for not finding this place sooner! VYB is THE PLACE for adult dance classes in Tampa. They offer a variety of dance styles for beginner, intermediate, and advanced dancers with, in my opinion, some of the best dance teachers in the state of Florida. It's a welcoming community of fun-loving, good-hearted people with a passion for expression through movement (Voice Your Body)!

I guess one day I can aspire to learn how to be that graceful on a dance floor lol. I hope I have an occasion to see them again it was a nice experience. What's a girl to do?

I am taking online dance classes offered by Anastassia Ballroom and Dance. It is gratifying,…read moreprofessional experience in all aspects. Technical details work very well and I can see clearly and follow the steps, all the steps. Anastassia offers variable pace to keep everyone involved and she continuously monitors feedback from the students during the class. In addition she posts on the Facebook page music that is used in the class , which makes easier to practice home after the class. Certainly, this well-established studio manages well to carry the quality and creativity of teaching into the online format. I highly recommend Anastassia Ballroom and Dance Studio.

Hands down the best dance studio for my daughter. Mrs. Kylee and Mr. AJ are truly remarkable people…read moreand care so much for their dancers. Every year, they have a recital for the kiddos and they do an exceptional job. It's so much fun to watch these kids go from not knowing a thing about dance, to becoming a dance extraordinaire! Mrs. Kylee and AJ are always very involved with the kids. They have dancing, parades, Halloween trunk or treat, Christmas parties, etc.. I highly recommend this dance studio to anyone looking for a dance company for their little one, or even teenagers. Pricing is reasonable - usually $20 per class, could be more, could be less. Depends on the kids age, and what classes they're taking. Still cannot be beat! My daughter has been going here since she was 4 years old, and she'll soon be 10. We love it there!

Avery has been attending Nicole's Dance Center since she was 4 years old (almost two years now),…read moreand she's worked with Ms. Nicole and Ms. Katie. She has grown so much in her dance skills, but just as importantly, she truly enjoys going and has built a sense of "family" there. Ms. Nicole and Ms. Katie are very encouraging, but also direct and firm when corrections are needed, which really helps the girls continue improving their technique. They truly believe that if a child has a passion for dance, they deserve a chance to grow. The atmosphere is also incredibly positive- there's no "catty" behavior among the kids or parents, which makes it such a supportive and welcoming environment. Avery has taken both ballet/tap and ballet/jazz classes, and one thing I love is how supportive the environment is. The older dancers are always helping each other out and sharing tips and tricks, which makes such a positive difference. She really looks up to the older girls as role models. We're nearing the end of our first competition season, and it's been an amazing experience so far. Pricing is more affordable versus other studios in Tampa and given to you ahead of time so there's no surprises. Overall, we've had a great experience at Nicole's Dance Center, and I'm excited to keep watching my little one grow there.

My wife and daughter have been taking classes at Nicole's for almost two years. There is a lot to…read morelike about this dance center. The studio offers weekly classes Monday thru Friday. These classes include jazz and tap, acro, hip hop and ballet. A lot of these dance styles have both beginning and intermediate level classes and there are a few adult and mom and baby classes as well. They also have "company" classes which are for the dancers who travel and compete in competitions. My daughter has had two classes taught by the owner, Nicole Bouchard. Nicole is a great instructor. She expertly balances the fun of dance with the seriousness of putting on a good show at the end of the year. She exhibits patience with her students, but also knows what buttons to push in order to motivate them. She knows when to listen and when to tell them to cut the garbage and get to work. She is very communicative and will take a few moments after class to let me know how my daughter did. Nicole's has a couple of other instructors as well. They empower some of the older company dancers by having them teach classes too. Nicole's studio houses two classrooms. Their schedule correlates with Pasco County Schools. If school is closed, the studio is as well. If school is in session, so is the studio. Each class has a final performance at the end of May or beginning of June. It is optional, not required. This final performance includes fancy outfits and makeup and happens on a large stage at a local private high school. This means professional level lighting and sound. They really go all out to do it right. If you are looking for a dance studio in the Land O' Lakes area that offers dance instruction and social learning with a small, intimate and personal touch, give Nicole's Dance Center a call or stop by for a visit.
