About a month ago, I attended an event in Avalon Park that showcased local businesses and I met…read moreAndy, a Dance Instructor at Avalon Dance. During our brief conversation, he let me know that the studio was offering to allow perspective students to take a number of classes to try out dance and see how they like it. I was definitely intrigued by this. In the two weeks that followed, I sampled 2 Monday night and 2 Tuesday night classes where the introduction to several dances (tango, salsa, bachata, etc.) were covered by Andy. About half way through class Mark (Owner?) would arrive and assist through to the end. The second week just happened to coincide with the week of the evening dance party held at the Jazzercise Orlando Mills 50 Fitness Center and I was invited to attend. Overall, the Instructors were great, welcoming and very personable. The other students were very open and welcoming. The classes and the dance party was a good experience. I will definitely go back and recommend that you give it a try if you're curious about dancing.

We have been bringing our daughter to ballet/tap class for a couple of months now and love it…read more Because of her age when she started, we had the option of trying Parent & me class and ballet/tap since we were mostly interested in ballet. Daughter loved ballet/tap and we enrolled her. So far we are very happy with the classes and how structured everything seems, even for the youngest dancers. Studio is always a text message away and they send several emails during the week to keep us updated with any changes. I have to add that studio takes feedback well and are always eager to help. They are also very strict with how classes go which I appreciate since toddlers need that structure and strictness. My daughter loves her classes and looks forward to each one. Looking forward to a year of more dancing for our little one!

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!

The young men that work here are all gentlemen and really nice! They are willing to work with you and your child. Our son is having a blast! DJ David is awesome. He teaches and has fun. They teach more than DJ lessons also! Our son has taken drum lessons also with another instructor, Luis and once again excellent instruction and guidance. They have a great mix of staff here and really enjoy their work. Our 9 year old son is starting piano lessons tonight and he is excited! It's a little but if a hike for us (winter springs) but worth it! Looking forward to seeing how far the kids have come in a a year from now!

The owner and instructors are incredibly supportive and truly accommodate all skill levels and individual needs.

AKA has given our family so many special memories, and we're so grateful to be part of such a positive and welcoming community. We can't wait for many more years of dancing together!

I would describe tribal fusion as a snakelike/sexy/dirty/grunge form of bellydance... google it and I'm sure you'll see that the costumes alone are a lot of fun and definitely unique. She teaches classes at the You Health Center on Virginia Avenue and beginners are always welcome in her introductory level classes. Lacey herself is a tiny fireball and will put you in a good mood no matter what your day was like! Her class schedule can be found here: http://www.floridatribaldance.com/ Give it a shot and maybe you'll find the sexy goddess lurking inside of yourself just waiting to be shimmied out!

LOVE Florida Tribal Dance! I've been taking classes since 2007 (I think?). Wow, can't believe…read moreit's been that long and it still feels fresh! The instruction at Florida Tribal Dance is beyond spectacular. I am not good with group classes, but even I felt comfortable right away. In addition to Lacey, the director, there are other teachers and a variety of classes available so I can always work something into my schedule. I prefer the funky tribal fusion classes. Lacey is a master at mixing different styles into fusion belly dance! They now have Zumba too! Other new classes are drumming and Polynesian dance. The selection is always changing! If you are even remotely interested, you HAVE to give it a try!

What a great find! I recently purchased a 5 session class…read morewith my bestie to try out belly dancing. No please bear in mind, I have zero prior dance experience except for what I do alone when no one is watching. My friend and I prepped ourselves by grabbing a light happy hour to warm ourselves up for the unexpected. We arrive and the owner, Melanie is all smiles and was incredibly inviting and welcoming to make us feel comfortable. Usually Wednesday classes are quite full but there were only a handful of us so we were both front and center. She slowly taught us the basics as we warmed our hips up for the hour long class. What an awesome experience and the instructor was hilarious but informative. I look forward to trying more classes! It's a good idea to check the website for classes because they offer so much more than basic Bellydance classes. Your hips won't regret it:)
