Nashville's new dance craze is Milele Academy. I had the opportunity to attend one of their many…read moreclasses on New Year's Day, the Resolution WERKout with Jay Conn and it was so much fun. Milele Academy is located in the Next Level Fitness building entrance but on the right side. This two level space offers a plethora of classes from ballet, jazz, hip hop, contemporary, and many more that is suited for every dance and fitness level. Check their websites: http://www.mileleacademy.com https://www.instagram.com/mileleacademy/?hl=en for available class times, prices, and instructional videos. I love the design of the studio! First level has a large dance floor with mirrors, disco balls, a flat screen tv that played hip hop videos, lounging areas, and stage/platform that display several trophies. The second floor has a balcony that overlooks the first floor with a comfortable seating area, ballet room, and two gender neutral restrooms. They may have more but that is all I could see without opening doors or being too nosey. Overall it is a clean and comfortable environment. Parking on Church Street can be challenging at times. Luckily their are parking options: -There are a few spots in front of the Fitness Level-Milele Academy building, -Free street meter parking after 6pm, and -Free parking in the Metro Medical parking lot. Overall I enjoyed my experience and highly recommend Milele Academy to anyone who loves to dance and/or has a desire to learn professional choreography.

They have national competitions year long. They Rank #1 dance school in Tennessee and #8 in the U.S! I highly recommend it to those parents whose children have interest in the dance arts or in a healthy extracurricular activity. The classes offered are Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Tumbling. They also have 'boys only' classes. Most of the teachers, both male and female, are well experienced and young. The teachers have beautiful, sharp, funky, yet elegant choreography skills. Before you know it...your child is going to Hollywood (or Dollywood).

This is our first full time experiencing during the Fall. We tried it out over the summer and decided to continue. The rates are very reasonable. You can also pay online or have it automatically drafted. This is our second dance studio that we've attended. The first one was absolutely horrible and unappealing. We are happy with Hermitage Dance Academy.

Her studio is extremely body positive. She accepts all students of every race, shape, size, age, gender identity, sexual orientation and ability. The variety of her students is a testament to how welcoming her studio is. You are never asked to do anything that might hurt you, and really encouraged her students to work with where their bodies are. I had a rib injury for a while and she was very understanding of my limitations and continued to work with what I could do. If you have any interest in dance, this is the place to go!

Even the beginner classes tend to be a little quicker and more challenging for someone who has never danced before, but you won't feel out of place because the teachers and students are very non-judgmental and very willing to work with you and answer any questions. I think anyone should try it and just know that you can ask questions and just do your best and have fun! I also have made a lot of friends at the studio in just a few short weeks. I've taken about 15 classes of the 20 I purchased and I have not met a single person I don't like. There is a huge diverse group of people here just like there is a diverse number of dance styles. Literally the only downside is it's a little hard as a beginner to get started because people start here and progress quickly so depending on when you join you may feel like you are behind the others. But that is actually a great sign because people don't just come for one class and never again, they come and stay because it's so awesome! Also all the front desk staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. Everytime I come there is someone new at the front desk and they treat me with respect and kindness. There is only one bad review on Yelp and it's from someone who never even went to the studio! (Also note they have 0 other reviews, no followers and that's sketch) They said they tried to sign up online and something went ary, so I would just recommend signing up with MINDBODY and read the site before you purchase. No offense to the reviewer, but it's really not that hard. Not sure what they were confused about, but if it's confusing maybe call first! Whenever I have called someone answers and is super helpful! I paid for a new member discount that was 20 classes for $175. That so far has been an amazing deal! Here are some pictures from some of my favorite classes!

The best of the best will be training you here. They have a pre professional training program, and offer classes from toddler age to seniors. It is also affordable! There is great energy, a clean facility, and a name that is known around the world by the common person and celebrities alike. We have two children attending currently and they absolutely love it. If youre looking for a place to take your dancing to the next level or just a place to have fun and learn.... then look no further. Im highly impressed. For those with children and teens, you can watch practice on tv from the waiting area. This program/facility is impressive, and should do wonderful in music city.
