Rick was very knowledgeable and patient, and patience was necessary as I am a novice dancer. Thanks to Rick my soon to be wife and I have a wonderful and fun dance routine for our wedding. We will definitely be booking more lessons in the future.

I had no prior dancing instruction and no natural ability. Rick is great at breaking the steps down and explaining the moves. Like the other reviewer said, he's super patient and really fun. If you're on the fence about taking lessons from Southern Elegance, just do it. You will not regret it! Please note that they are at 3120 Leeman Ferry Rd now, not at L&N Drive anymore.

I took my first class and was a little lost, but within a week or two, I was dancing along with most of the songs! The instructors are all so sweet and welcoming. None of the members have an "I am better than you" attitude. There is no one critiquing your dancing ability. It's like a big dancing family! You are having so much fun that you don't realize that you are sweating! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place!!!!

The Dance Trance in Madison has instructors that are rather smug. They are not instructors. They…read moreact like they are in a MTV show with the spotlight on them. I took the free one week, and went to several classes. Trying to learn the moves, I would start out at the front, and them somehow would get nudged out by the other dancers, winding up towards the back. One dancer noticed this and said, you really need to stay up front to learn the moves. This "nudging out" happened in different classes with 3 different instructors. These instructors should have made note of new people in the class, and invite us to the front to better learn the moves. This did not happen because these people are nurses, attorneys, etc. and not instructors at all.

Our experience with Southern Sensations Dance Studio has been absolutely amazing. We changed…read morestudios a couple of years ago due to an incredibly toxic environment at our past studio which honestly left us thinking about quitting dance all together. However, The owner at SSDS opened our eyes to how a truly positive experience dance can and should be. My girls have flourished under the guidance of the caring, professional, and encouraging teachers and staff at SSDS. In just a couple of years we saw dramatic improvement in their technical capabilities and in their confidence within themselves. Dance is so much more than just physical skills and the teachers and staff focus on the entire dancer to include the mental side as well. There are a lot of studios to choose from in this area and we've visited or know people at a lot of them. SSDS stands apart in their compassion, inclusiveness, and diversity for sure. Their teachers routinely get additional training and are always looking for ways to push and improve the dancers. We highly recommend SSDS!! They are professional, caring, and have a created a wonderfully positive environment for all dancers!!

Non company dancers are ignored or outright bullied in some cases. They just lost several of their best teachers. There are way too many other better studios in town with professional dancers who also care about all their students and are not stuck in the late 90s or early 2000s (not inclusive at all).

Terrible for young children!

I think it is heinous that this dance studio thinks it is OK for my 6-year old's dance performance to be at 10:05pm. All the family in town (including her younger brother who has begun to meltdown) was too exhausted to even enjoy it.

I am appalled at how unconcerned Ann and LeighAnn were that I asked to have a copy of our dance written down for my 5 year old so we could practice it at home prior to the recital. Yes, she is only 5, but they were so nonchalant about the fact that she doesn't know the dance that I was taken by surprise. This is my daughter's moment to shine, not be embarrassed in front of all of her family and friends. You would think that this would also be their objective - Help every dancer do their best at the recital. What a great way to turn off a small child to dancing, especially when she loves it so much. I would not, under any circumstance, recommend Ann's Studio to anyone.
