We took first-dance lessons with Alex at Simply Ballroom in Omaha, and he was amazing. He made us feel comfortable right away, broke everything into simple steps, and helped us look confident without feeling overwhelmed. What surprised us most was how fun it was, it turned into a genuinely great date night we looked forward to each week, and we'll probably come back just for fun. Highly recommend Alex to any couple! read more

We cannot express our heartfelt gratitude for Alex and Rachelle's exceptional talent in producing a truly memorable evening! TWICE! After our experience with Simply Ballroom in October 2022, for my daughter and her husband's wedding, we were confident in what Simply Ballroom could provide for our wedding. They surpassed any expectations we may have had by leaps and bounds. They were organized, efficient and worth every penny! Alex and Rachelle's creativity, dedication, and passion for our wedding and reception was truly spectacular! They were professional, patient, and fun. Becoming involved in working smoothly with everyone, taking our ideas, and making them work. They think things through and are prepared for changing circumstances. Simply Ballroom is an outstanding company to work with. They provided our DJ/MC Services, Cold Spark Fountains, Lighting, Photo Booth, and the Memory Book. All these services were remarkable. The one service I wasn't prepared for was the coordination services. We did not have a wedding coordinator, and trying to do all this ourselves was overwhelming. We turned those duties over to Rachelle and boom, done. And done well!! Their professional capability enabled them to smoothly match the energy of the changing atmosphere, advise us on the flow of events and they created the perfect playlist. Alex and Rachelle communicated clearly and frequently. This allowed for a relaxed, smooth, and completely low-stress day and evening. Simply Ballroom was, and is, an exceptional company to work with. We will always highly recommend all their services! Please check out Simply Ballroom's Facebook posts from June 14th to see some of their incredible work! "Simply Ballroom provided DJ & Photo Booth Services for our second wedding this past Sunday at The Caboose in Red Oak Iowa for Mr. & Mrs. Johnson. This was a very special wedding for us considering we provided DJ services for the bride's daughter last October. The weather was perfect for an outdoor wedding, and it was such a great turnout! Thank you again for trusting us with another wedding in your family. We can't wait to see you all again!" read more

I highly recommend taking dance lessons with Alex! Whether it's bride/groom, father/daughter, mother/son, or just for fun it will be so worth it. My Dad and I took dance lessons with Alex for our father/daughter dance and loved it. We had no previous dance experience, and Alex helped us every step of the way to learn how to dance in that setting. When the big day came, we were confident in ourselves, thanks to Alex. We are so happy that we went to Alex for lessons! read more

We took dance lessons for an upcoming wedding. Alex is fantastic. He has a talent for teaching. He instructs and guides you with patience and understanding. We never felt intimidated and had so much fun. Whether you have zero dance skills (us) or just want to try something new, this is the place to go!! read more

Simply Ballroom was the perfect venue for our wedding ceremony and reception! Rachelle and her husband were so amazing the day of our wedding with helping make sure everything went smoothly. Rachelle was super helpful during the planning process and was always accessible to answer my random questions over text or email! Simply Ballroom is very cost effective and does not try to nickel and dime you like most other venues. They really just want to make sure your day is all you ever wanted. Thank you for helping make my wedding day perfect in every way! read more

Five stars! They truly made my daughter's dream wedding come true. She wanted an intimate affair with family and friends. Rachelle helped to make this happen and facility was top notch. (Don't let the lobby scare you, ballrooms are beautiful!!) Decoration, linens, lighting, setup, and cleanup all included! We used our caterer, Dj, brought our own alcohol and she recommended an excellent bartender At the end of night only took home food, our extra decorations and beverages. They helped use get out the door in 1/2 hour!!! Even had a few rowdy guest and they handle it very professional. I am grateful for my whole experience with Simply Ballroom. Well Done! read more

My husband and I are using Alex at Simply Ballroom for our wedding dance lessons and he is absolutely fantastic. Neither of us have any training or knowledge of ballroom dancing, and Alex is able to walk us through everything very simply, while still making us look great! We can't wait to finish our lessons and show off our moves at our wedding reception. read more

Alex was absolutely wonderful. My husband and I weren't even going to get dance lessons before our wedding because we felt like there was no extra time. My husband contacted Alex and surprised me with a few lessons! Alex was so accommodating with our time constraints and very patient. We don't exactly have two left feet but we also don't know anything about dancing. He made everything so easy and fun! We had a blast at our dance lessons and he provided us with easy to learn choreography for our big day. I would highly recommend! read more

Simply Ballroom - Dancing til we laugh - DJs Near Me

This was the PERFECT venue to have our wedding. It has a beautiful space and amenities to make your day easier and was super accommodating on every level. Very reasonably priced and allowed us to have flexibility with every aspect of our wedding. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

I just had my wedding June 22, 2019, at Simply Ballroom. Rachelle helped me SO much on Saturday, and she really helped calm my nervous, anxious self - I had an amazing night, and I think my guests did too (idk I was too busy dancing my tail off in the beautiful lighting of the venue hahaha). I truly appreciated this venue, their recommended bartender Jordan, and Rachelle's husband, SOOO much! They all worked together to create a beautiful space and atmosphere suited to my day! Thank you so, so much! I can't say it enough! Also, it is just a beautiful venue!!! =) read more

0 only if i Could rate this place. Horrible never trust this lady with your event. She is not responsible or a good party coordinator. Dont even mention you want your dream decoration because she won't let you get it. awful communication. She canceled our event the day before, we tried to contact her by email,phone and text messages and she never reach back to us. We went and the husband was very rude to us, yelling at us. I'm not sure if she is racist or what! plus she kept our money (all of it full amount) even the one for security even tho event was canceled and security did not work for that day. Plus she was trying to book another event for our day! that is fraud, and we have the text messages she sent to the other lady, calls and emails we send trying to contact her. Thank God we found a place for my sister's quinciañera. PLEASE if this venue is your only option make sure you read carefully everything before signing if you have kids mainly, because she doesn't do well with kids running around in a party ....this place is just perfect for a funeral or a retirement party. Definitely going to report this place to the business bureau. read more

I took a few lessons with my wife there. We bought a package that was a great deal to get started. Rachelle our instructor was awesome and it was clear she loved what she was doing. After our package was up We either had to do personal lessons which I thought was a little high or take the group classes. We learned towards the group classes but either they were to far along in the class to let us in or the new classes they were starting in my opinion were not very popular or well known for our area. Because of this we decided to look elsewhere because we really wanted to focus on salsa dancing. read more

My fiancé and I did (entry level) dance lessons to prepare for our first dance as Mr. and Mrs. It was WAY better than anything I expected. My husband who was dreading it, actually enjoyed it. Not only was it perfect to practice to our song and learn some moves, turns, etc., but Alex was an amazing instructor. He is clearly passionate about dance, and had not hesitation about spending a quick 1:1 opportunity with either my husband or I to perfect a move. Hanging out with Alex during lessons, was as comfortable as being with a friend. We felt like we could totally be ourselves! The final comment I would make is that this turned out to be a really fun and personal "date night" time for my husband and I. Our wedding has come and gone, and we crushed our first dance, but dance lessons will still be in our future because we enjoyed it so much! Thanks to Alex at Simply Ballroom!! read more

We had so much fun learning the foxtrot for our first dance at our lesson! Our instructor, Alex, was super friendly, talented and made us both feel comfortable. We would recommend Alex and Simply Ballroom to everyone! read more

The classes are fun but the way they are scheduled you can't really build on the last lesson. The people who go are super nice but there are definitely not enough men going to be able to practice what you learn. I am still trying to find a ballroom home. read more

Simply ballroom is by far the best studio to go to in Omaha! Both Instructors Rachelle and Alex are as talented as they are friendly. If you go into their studio with a lot of experience or none at all they will make you feel comfortable learning all while having a great time. They take the time to teach you proper ballroom and Latin dancing steps, you won't be pushed through the steps when you're dancing like other studios have done with me before, they do the steps first so you can mimic them then they do them with you (you don't feel hurried to get them done). I would recommend the group classes first then you can utilize the private lessons to really hone your skills. The dance parties are also great for meeting other dance students and getting more practice in. read more

Alex Stidham was a fantastic instructor. We took 3 lessons from him to prepare for our first dance at our wedding and we learned exactly what we needed to know! He was extremely nice, professional and an excellent teacher. I would recommend Alex to anyone looking for a dance instructor in Omaha. read more

We worked with Alex for a dance lesson for our upcoming wedding and first dance, and he was wonderful. My fiance was pretty hesitant to take any sort of dance lesson, but it became very clear that we definitely needed it. And at the end of our lesson both my fiance and I were very happy with what we learned in such a short amount of time. Alex was such an easy going, kind-hearted teacher; he's the type of personality that puts you at ease. I definitely recommend him to all engaged couples so you can feel a little more confident during your first dance. read more
