If you haven't been to Dance Trance Orlando, you need to seriously make plans to try it out at…read moreleast one time! This, my friend, is not your average dance fitness workout... this is an experience in itself! There are different levels you can take. The most basic class is called "Break Down" where the instructor will literally break down the moves of a specific routine. At the Orlando location, Elisa and Renee are musical dance geniuses. Both are accomplished dancers and will totally rock your world with TONS of self-made routines. I have only taken classes from Elisa and Renee, but I know there are a few other great instructors that teach the classes as well. The dances are set to current, catchy and just plain 'ol freaking awesome jams. I'm not lying that it feels like you are IN DA CLUBBBB when the music starts pumping. The classes literally fly by! You have tons of fun, sweat like a PIG and leave with a big smile. I highly encourage anyone to try out a class. Just remember this motto... there are no mistakes, only solos!!! :-)

Dance Trance is a great time! I took Cassie's class and smiled through the entire class. High…read moreenergy, tons of sweating, and fantastic dance moves. Cassie is supremely talented. The music is exactly what you'd want to dance to in a club. The studio is kept dark and is outfitted with neon lights and great speakers. Bonus: there are such good community vibes here. Everyone was incredibly sweet and welcoming. We all chatted and rooted each other on. This is definitely not a "mean girls" studio-- there is such joy here. Try it!!

Just Dance Too Orlando rocks! I am a parent that has 2…read moredaughters attend JDT (just dance too). My kids love it! They both started as 2 extremely shy girls. They have burst out of the shyness more than I could have hoped for, literally! They both have made lasting friendships, gained confidence & are more disciplined. My oldest started at age 5 & has been going for 2 years now. My youngest started at age 4. I never thought they would actually dance when it was time for the showcases but each & every performance has brought me to tears! Location: off of kirkman rd in a plaza. Kind of central...I drive maybe 20-25min to get the kids there. Studio: clean, decent-sized studio on the 2nd floor. When you walk in is the directors desk & an small area for seating and a unisex bathroom. Then through the door is the actual studio...wood floors & mirrors. Director: Mrs. India. A former 14k dancer from Bethune Cookman. (I know, I know...even though I'm a rattler...anyhow, lol). This lady has talent & creativity pouring from her! She is stern ;) but she has a huge heart and special kind of love for each child. She & her staff teaches amazing technical skills which shows in the solid performances. The kids definitely have fun, they laugh and they cry...but they are learning important lessons that they can't even fathom right now. My kids love JDT and so do I! Besides dancing JDT has Halloween parties, holiday parties, end of the season get-togethers, and Mrs. India does something special for all her graduating seniors. Finally, each child dances in every show..and at the end they ALL get medals. There are different categories depending on age & skill: babies, juniors & seniors. Mine are both babies now....so practice is twice weekly for an hour....and the price is right! Lol. If you can't check JDT out in the fall/spring she also has an awesome summer program filled with activities & trips! Bring your son/daughter here and you won't be disappointed! Ayeee, JDT, JDT!

As a guy, I don't really understand dance, let alone Irish Dance, but my daughter attends here and…read morereally enjoys it. From everything my wife tells me, this is a superb school and the owner is one of the best dancers around. I know the place is clean, friendly and very professional. The instructors have a genuine interest in my kid and obviously love Irish Dance. The school has a close knit, family feel, very friendly and very supportive. If you are looking for a place to learn Irish Dance then you should definitely check this place out.

I completely disagree with the review below. The Columbus family is not racist whatsoever and are…read moretrue Christians. The level of dance instruction is excellent and I completely trust them to keep my child safe during transport and while she is in their care. The school is fully integrated with a good mix of students with African-American, Asian, and Caucasian - both Hispanic and non-Hispanic - origins, with families from many socioeconomic backgrounds. The students are treated equally and fairly despite race, color, or creed.. Yes, Miss Becky sometimes can be tough on the girls during dance classes, but dance is a discipline and the girls are expected to behave and follow instructions properly. If poor behavior is allowed during class by a few, then the majority looses out on valuable time and instruction. Perhaps the reviewer's child was one who couldn't behave properly in class or while in the daycare center and needed to be spoken to more often than the others? Or, perhaps the reviewer is a bit overly-sensitive or overwhelmed. At any rate, her review is not a proper reflection of the school and should be disregarded.

We accompanied a friend of ours here for an open house as they are registering to go to school…read morehere. This was quite different from any school I've dealt with before but because of what they teach it's actually an excellent venue. They have multiple parts to their building, including a small theater where they put on performances. We were here for a couple of hours while the one cofounder talked us through everything the school does. We got a full tour and quite the education on how things will work. We also got to introduce to several of the existing students who came to help answer questions from the potential students and their guests. I can definitely see where pretty much anyone could benefit from going to school here.

I didn't expect it to change my entire thinking on humans, emotions and life in general- and all for the better! I had been acting for years, but always felt a little wobbly in my process and authenticity- Marco and Robb helped me transform my ways and I feel like I can deliver more substantive performances now. Plus, I have started booking roles other than just commercials! The curriculum is well-structured, thoughtful and challenging. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, offering clear explanations and helpful strategies to approaching roles using the Meisner technique. One of the most valuable aspects of the course of course is meeting the other students and finding a safe inclusive environment. Encouragement to be ourselves, commitment to being present helps even the shyest among us shine. Positive immediate feedback helps us progress while homework and serious study leads to success. This is not a passive education- this is a hands on, what you put in is what you get out type conservatory, In addition to Meisner acting, the school provides useful resources and information like job boards, how to audition, write a resume, headshots, find an agent and more. Marco and Robb and Sam are the most gracious and open people so no question is denied. I am looking forward to continuing my studies with Truthful as the courses are always progressing with changes in the industry. Do yourself a favor and attend an open house at least and feel the welcome. I bet you will meet alumni and current student who show up just to hang out- because Truthful is their home away from home- where we feel our true selves.
