And did you know this corps placed 10th at the DCI World Championships in Indianapolis last night? At a time when school funding for music programs is dwindling, organizations like the Blue Knights exist to remind us what discipline, skill and a love of music can accomplish. Their show tend to lean toward the nontraditional and avant garde; this year's theme was 'No Beginning, No End' and featured the music of Pat Metheny. Take in a performance when the season starts again next year!

We were researching places to find dance instructors to help teach us to dance and to coordinate…read moreour first dance for our wedding. While we were looking and we found DAM dance studios and scheduled a phone conversation with JP. We immediately liked her and decided to do our first trial session with her. Coming to the dance studio we were very nervous because we are not dancers but JP was so kind and immediately settled our worries. We decided to book 10 lessons with her. Every lesson we did, we learned something new from forming connections, to inside/outside turns, to simple motions, JP was able to teach us everything. Not only that, but she was so kind and patient with us. She took each lesson at our pace and was encouraging us the whole time. By the end of our sessions our confidence grew and we were getting compliments from others about our huge dancing talent improvements. Because we started practicing early (1 year before the wedding) we were really able to space out our lessons and we had time to practice at home. That's something that JP was able to see and would always compliment us on. Our last two lessons focused on really perfecting our first dance and how to just dance during the wedding. I was very nervous about dancing in front of everyone and JP was able to completely ease those worries. Suffice to say we rocked our first dance and people were really impressed. We got compliments about it all night long and even after the wedding. The rest of the night I was out on the dance floor, pulling everyone else out too. Everyone had a blast and we had a full night of dancing. I would highly recommend JP to anyone looking for a dance instructor. She's funny, kind, talented, and an excellent teacher. She's amazing and we couldn't be more grateful to her. Thank you JP, you made our night so fun!

JP has created an environment where my daughter is thriving. She looks forward to every class and absolutely loves JP--and so do I! JP is not only kind and encouraging, but also incredibly efficient and organized, which makes everything run smoothly. On top of that, the classes are very affordable, making high-quality dance instruction accessible. If you're looking to get your child into dance, I can't recommend this studio and JP enough. It's been such a positive experience for our family!

Students at the studio are welcoming and really make you feel part of the group right away. You can learn any partner dance (foxtrot, waltz, salsa, country, etc) and it doesn't matter if you want to come without a partner. There are private lessons, group lessons, and structured practice opportunities. The pricing structure lets you take on only what you want and the intro package is a great way to start.

This is my last review for 2007 so I decided I'd make it count…read more I'm not a pro but as someone who CRAVES a heartfelt and sweaty dance class every now and then I was desperate to find an appropriate facility that was not associated with a dance club/bar/lounge. Clearly I found it but in dancer terms this place was a a little bit of an arrastre (drag). Call ahead just to confirm any change in schedule. I'm not familiar with class sizes at this particular joint but there was definitely space to go around. I appreciated how extremely clean and organized the dance studio was yet lacked the unique punk, hipster, bad ass feel. Instructors were lovely but not as groovy as those at Broadway Dance as I never really got into the plie mood. All in all, I suggest this dance studio to those that are craving an expensive class to fix your craving. And by expensive I mean you'll pay crazy amounts of money for over an hour class.

They are legit. My…read morehusband and I started our adventure with TGDanzport back in March of 2017, the Groupon deal got us in (Three 1/2 hour private lessons, one group lesson, one party for 2) and we found a new hobby we could do together as a couple. Their location is very convenient. While we live less than 2 miles away, for those who are farther out,they are literally very close to I-25/Belleview exit.. with lots of great restaurants to go to within walking distance after your group or private lesson! Since our initial introductory set of classes, we decided to push forward with the Social Basic program, and now we are in their Bronze program. We are doing their Disney Showcase (less than 2 weeks away now - eek!) and after the showcase, we are actually interested in checking out some competitions in 2018. They have monthly dance parties where you can practice what you learn, and they do performances throughout the year (they did a performance at a Denver Nuggets game earlier this year!) When we take our lesson, there are quite a few folks that come in for their wedding dance and all the couples that we see just have a blast. Their choreography is top notch, and they really care that you are doing the dance correctly, with the right form and rythm. It isn't just for couples too, single women and men come and take private lessons or go to the group lessons. Group classes intimate and you get lots of attention from the instructor, and majority of their classes are for all levels. They have four instructors, and everyone is so nice and so knowledgeable and super talented! And they offer classes on a wide array of different dances (Salsa, Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Swing (all variations of), Rumba.. you name it, they know it and can teach it). They aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for. My husband and I have done some other classes around town, and the attention to detail that this place gives you comes second to none. If you have a passion for dance or want to learn something new and fun and applicable to real life (it's given my husband so much confidence on the dance floor and i don't have to drag him anymore!), or if you are looking for a choreographed piece for your special day - give these guys a try - you won't regret it.

My husband and I spent several months taking lessons here. We initially started with lessons for…read moreour wedding, and just kept going after. There were a few instructors here that we really enjoyed, and some we tried not so much. All and all I think they had a pretty well rounded group of people doing lessons. There were some dances which only some instructors taught, so that was a little frustrating from a continuity standpoint. We only had a few hiccups with payments and the book keeping for them; scheduled lessons sometimes got mixed up but for the length of time we were doing lessons here it wasn't too bad. I would recommend this studio to someone looking to do a couple of lessons, with the understanding that private lessons can get to be kind of pricey. Group lessons are fairly affordable, and the studio organizes events pretty regularly for their patrons to come and practice their dance skills.
