It would be nearly impossible to not love what Dance Kaleidoscope adds to the city of Indianapolis…read more I was in their offices this past weekend for another event. It was an opportunity to reflect on my own experiences with them (and to ask myself why I'd never reviewed them). Longtime Artistic Director David Hochoy retired in 2022-23, a season which was also the organization's 50th. They are one of the Midwest's longest-performing professional dance companies. Now under the leadership of Joshua Blake Carter, Dance Kaleidoscope presents four unique mainstage performances in Indy each year. They're a very accessible group. They participate in the Access Pass Program. This allows people to experience dance with $5 tickets and even dance classes at a discounted rate. They are also known for partnering with a variety of non-profits from Damien Center to the Children's Museum to Ballet Hispanico to quite a few others. In 2019, they located inside the Factory Arts District. They offer 34 weekly classes to over 200 students. They also share their studio with other groups (including Indy Film Fest). As a wheelchair user, I've always been pretty in awe of dance. I absolutely adore Dance Kaleidoscope, and I adore what they contribute to this community. Factory Arts is really the ideal location for them. Schrott Center and the Toby at Newfields seem to be two of their favorite places to perform here in Indy. If you've never checked out Dance Kaleidoscope, I highly recommend it.

My daughters took me to see the nutcracker at Old National Centre…read more This is my first time seeing the Indianapolis Ballet Company. My understanding is the company was founded in 2018. The dancers were good, very professional, choreography ok. My FAVORITE dancer was by far Yoshiko Kamikusa who is a founding artist. As a former dancer myself, I was totally captivated by Yoshiko. She was strong, graceful, flawless, and absolutely stunning. I enjoyed the evening and applaud the Ballet company. I hope to see them again.

My daughter had her very first class of any kind in the creative dance class. Everyone of the staff…read morewas very friendly. However, drop off was less than organized or structured. It seems as if two groups were starting within 30 min of each, and so extra littles were just hanging out for 30 min. People are coming and going. Door remained locked and parents didn't go past front entry, but for this newbie mom, I had to wait in the hallway for 5 min just to make sure my daughter didn't come out crying from too much going on....after a year of the class, even experiencing a questionable photoshoot day, I still feel they have a good dance school and great way to stay involved and aware of the professional ballet dance community. If we still lived in the city, my daughters would all go, but sadly, we are a good 30 min drive away. Will still venture downtown to see a production. (...note this was a review written in 2021-2022)

Hip hop classes, yes please!…read more One of the most legit hip hop teachers in the city, Fonzie, made the class fun and interactive. The class itself is an hour and fairly low-key - just pure fun. Everyone learns new moves for the first 20 minutes of class, learn a dance, and then do it in groups of two with Fonzie. Only $10 a class. Music: Loved it. Lots of Chris Brown and Bruno Mars. The class can also request songs for choreography each week. Studio: Spacious and modern, the studio boasts a huge mirror, exterior seating, and a huge dance floor. It's a bit hispanic too and made me want to take a salsa class later too. Location: The building is on the corner of Michigan and Capitol, but the door is a bit hidden and is located on Capitol. Look for the Riolo Dance logo printed on the door, walk in, and take the elevator to the second floor.

This review is for Xavier, an instructor at Riolo. He is the best!!! I take his cardio dance…read moreclasses which are upbeat choreography to contemporary music. During quarantine, he is leading classes over Zoom (aka Zoomba, get it?) and I highly recommend them for people of any skill/experience level who want to get their heart pumping and forget they're even working out. The dances are perfect, just challenging enough - not super easy, but after a few classes you'll start to have the routines memorized. I haven't taken his other classes yet at Riolo but look forward to one day as I have heard great things! If you like zumba-style classes then you know it's all about having a great instructor. Once you find one you love, it becomes the best part of your day and you never want to miss a class. That is Xavier to so many people in Indy! Support local talent always but especially right now, if you can.

As much as it pains me to write this (literally because these workouts are no joke) I LOVE a gym…read more Not just any gym though, I love THIS gym. That's right, me- hater of all workouts, lover of all foods and my alone time on the couch. I will break my neck to get here on time for Tawj's Monday and Friday Hip Hop class. The music is great, dancing is fun, and Tawj will push you. I even love (and simultaneously hate) the ab workouts. The gym offers bootcamps, group workouts, and fitness challenges. I like that you can purchase passes, and if you watch the Facebook page you can catch their specials.

If you're looking for a new form of exercise that is both athletic and aesthetic, this would be it!…read more I came in with a group event recently and had a lot of fun over the course of an hour or so with getting to try silks and pole fitness for the first time. The instructors lead everyone in a group warm up first and then we were split into groups to take turns with the apparatuses. I felt more naturally inclined with the silks and got to try out some beginners tricks! The pole fitness was a little harder for me but still a fun challenge. The instructors for both halves were helpful and encouraging. They have a variety of class rates (as low as $15/class) and a wide schedule of classes between this location and their new studio in Fountain Square. I'd definitely try a full silks class again!

I've been taking classes here for 8 months now and I can't recommend it enough!! I've taken silks,…read moreliquid motion, yoga, and pole classes here. I've never had an instructor who wasn't amazing. They meet you where you are and encourage progress at your own pace.

I…read morewasn't sure if I was going to keep it up after the Groupon expired but now realize this new hobby has become the highlight of my year. I've been attending for a few months now and moved up to intermediate classes. It's always intimidating to try something new but all of the instructors and fellow dancers are so warm and welcoming. It's an incredible community to be a part of. On top of that, they offer monthly socials and recommend weekly dance spots like The Red Room and Jazz Kitchen to practice what you've learned in class and also expand your skills! I can't speak highly enough of this place. If you're on the fence, just give it a try! You won't regret it.

Kyle & Rubi do an incredible job from helping you understand the basics to ensuring you grow as a dancer and as a person. Joining the Dance community here has introduced so many incredible people into my life. I performed on the bachata team last year & started on the salsa team this year. I now consider the studio my second home and cannot recommend enough to check out the studio or any of the events that they host!
