Visited this studio for an Introductory Bollywood dance class…read more The studio is a large bright and airy room. There is no ante chamber or foyer before you step into the dance area. Though, there is a receptionist desk close to the entry door that provides a psychological separation between the entryway and the dancefloor. The receptionist was the owner of the studio (I think) and was very welcoming, friendly and informative. Around the back walls, there are chairs and storage cubbies for you to place any personal items. The front walls are lined with mirrors so that dancers can see themselves and position their bodies appropriately. Clean restrooms are on the side furthest away from the entry door. Complimentary bottled water was given to us, the students. I'm not sure if this was offered by the studio or our particular instructor, but the water was a Godsend midway through the dance class. The studio is easy to access off Hurstbourne Pkwy and is just north of Lowe's. I enjoyed my class here and would enjoyed taking other classes in this space.

I can't begin to say enough positive things about The Ballroom House!…read moreMy husband and I started going here to prepare for our wedding but we've fallen in love with dancing and have been going for over a year. Everyone here is friendly and kind. They have built such a welcoming community here where anyone can learn and grow. I can't imagine dancing anywhere else!

If I could give 10 stars, I would! I am so grateful to The Ballroom House for the kindness and…read moreencouragement that fills the studio. I was an absolute beginner to any kind of formal dance when I walked through the doors for the beginner group class (which took me 3 weeks to talk myself into going). I was full of anxiety about what to expect, what to wear and what to do if I wanted to run out in the middle of the first class. I'm pleased to report I had...FUN! The instructors are encouraging and knowledgeable, the other students are friendly, and the overall atmosphere is filled with kindness. There are so many opportunities to learn and grow, so if you are considering trying out dance lessons, getting back into dance or whatever your circumstance, stop thinking and just do it! You won't regret trying it out and you are welcome at The Ballroom House!

We could not ask for a better studio owner, kinder teachers, and a better studio family than our GDS home. Miss Dawn has truly made this a wonderful and safe environment for every age and level of dance.

My daughter has been a student at GDS for 6 years and we couldn't be more pleased with this studio!…read moreMy daughter's dance technique and performance have grown by leaps and bounds! The owner, Miss Dawn and the entire staff and teachers treat her like one of their own. They work patiently with their students to teach proper technique. You will never find another studio who accepts your child as one of their own and gives them the technique, love, and support every parent would want their dancer to have. In the past 6 years the instructors and fellow dance parents have become some of my dearest friends. In a city where practically every street has a dance studio, I couldn't recommend choosing Gotta Dance Studio more!

Just signed my daughter up recently for preschool dance and she is obsessed!! Every day, "do I have…read moreballet today mommy?" I sure do hate telling her no, so I just let her wear her ballet clothes 24/7. ‍ she's happy, I'm happy. A lot of other moms I chat with also highly recommend LDF and it looks like they have a lot of students so it's a popular spot to learn dance. Check it out! Plus it's affordable. $43 a month for 4 45 minute classes a month. Can't beat it. Now you can afford to buy your 3 year old a new pair of tights every week!

In Covid I have been working so much from home and I have been SO INSPIRED with his videos!!! I wanted to make an in-person dance lesson appointment and messaged him on FB and he was so receptive and warm. It is the people like this that save us during times of crises! Thank you, Duncan for your Facebook live videos and for being so available to schedule my lesson!

So, with the wedding coming up, my parents decided to enroll in some ballroom dancing classes at…read moreArthur Murray. You know, because you never know when a waltz will come on. I gave them a hard time about this, but they seemed excited about it and they seemed to enjoy going every week. They also threw in a lesson with their package so that my dad and I could have a dance lesson to our song for the wedding. And I have to say, I was pretty impressed! We had a private lesson with their instructor and, while I am by no means now a professional ballroom dancer, I feel like we got the hang of it and it was pretty fun. Since future-husband happened to tag along, our instructor also talked us into taking one so that we wouldn't look ridiculous. I think we might need to practice a bit more, and knowing that we live out of town, our instructor even had us video him giving us suggestions on my phone! Only caveat is that it's a little pricey, but I've heard that they regualrly offer new student speicals.

My best friend asked me to attend a 2-hour dance class that would be taught by a cast member of…read moreHello Dolly which was touring in Louisville this week. I was skeptical that we would be able to keep up with the other dancers but agreed to go because the experience sounded unique and fun. The world of dance studios is unknown to me and I was certainly curious. He signed us up but did have some difficulty arranging payment. The studio required advance payment but did not except credit cards. Neither of us use Venmo so we weren't certain we would be able to book in, but the studio finally agreed to let him pay for our session by credit card. My understanding is they've had people sign up for the classes but did not show up and make payment that morning. Very disappointing when a class has limited space and potentially a waiting list. The studio is located in Saint Matthews. There is a small parking lot for Saint Matthews station which is shared by several businesses. The dance studio is upstairs. The owner of the studio greeted each person that walked in and checked us all registration. We did sign a liability waiver. My best friend and I are no spring chickens. We knew the class stated 10 years old - adult. Most of the students were teenagers. Including us only one other adult was participating. It was obvious each of these girls took dance lessons, especially with their professional shoes. I opted to hang out toward the back of class. It wasn't a good move for me personally because I struggled to see the footwork of the instructor but from a comfort level I certainly didn't want to be in front of other people. The instructor was fantastic! She had us warm up and then went right into a routine. We learned it in pieces and then did the full routine. She then broke us up into smaller groups and had us do the routine. Toward the end of class she taught a second small routine, and later answered questions from the students. It was obvious she'd conducted other trainings before. She was also very easy to understand, bright good energy, and really encouraged everyone. I was not a very good student but at least tried my best and certainly got in a decent morning work out that I would not have experienced anywhere else. The studio teaches a variety of classes and you can pay by the class. More guest instructors, including one from Hamilton, will be coming to the studio. The owner was extremely friendly and you can tell that she is passionate about her students. Check them out on their website or follow them on social media.

Very disorganized. The prices change each semester and it seems the owner is all over the place…read more Great instructors for the men's class (Kris), Jenny, and PBT is amazing. Lack of real performance opportunities and lack of continuity between the teachers. There is no set school curriculum. When I asked one teacher which method she teaches, it differed from the method of another teacher in the more advanced courses. High turn over among the staff. It seems that everyone is doing their own thing. The office staff doesn't seem to even know how to use the app to make payments. It just seems to be a hodge-podge of instruction. This place has so much potential if they have some consistent leadership.
