They're patient, talented, and supportive of their community. We loved each lesson, and ended up with a first dance that felt like us. I cannot recommend them enough! My husband and I came to DanceEdge to get private lessons for our first dance. After the first two lessons from their intro package, we ended up adding ten more. While we were still forming the choreography, we went every week. After we were more comfortable, we did a lesson every other week. Two of the twelve private lessons weren't used for our first dance though. One lesson was with my dad for our father-daughter dance. We practiced a hand-off, a basic step, and, of course, how he can spin me :) The other lesson was post-wedding. We caught up, showed off our first dance video, and spent the rest of the time learning the hustle, haha. These private lessons have been such a great date night. Especially as the chaos of wedding planning takes over, it's nice to spend some intentional time with my partner. We would do it again in a heartbeat. If you're a couple and you're coming to your first wedding dance lesson, you'll just need to bring your wedding shoes (or something similar), and your first dance song. They'll take care of the rest. Why is DanceEdge so special? **Patience** Our instructor Maya is incredibly talented and super patient. My husband and I are both uncoordinated, but we never felt like she was frustrated with us. Maya always met us where we were, and took extra time on parts where we needed it. **Personal** Maya worked with us to make it feel like *our* first dance. As we would develop new choreography, she'd often give us two options to try out. We would do both, and decide which we prefer. She was always super receptive to feedback and suggestions from us. For example, we suggested a dip kiss to close out the dance, and she was happy to work it in for us. We'd also talk about how we want the dance to feel (joyful? romantic? showy? etc.). I'm sure this helped us align our vision to create the perfect first dance. **Talented** One of our lessons was with Jeff. He was able to provide a fresh perspective on our dance. We focused on things that we hadn't considered as much before, like musicality and making lines with the body. For just one lesson, he made a huge impact on our dance. In the lesson, he shared more about his and Maya's resumes. (Maya is too humble to brag. Jeff is not ). Jeff has coached for OSU's dance team, received multiple awards for teaching, and has been featured on "So You Think You Can Dance". Maya has earned her fair share teaching awards as well. Just last year, she placed second in a national dance competition. She's been dancing and competing with Jeff since she was young, so they're very in-sync at this point. My memory is hazy, so I'm sure there are awards I missed (and failed to Google). But trust, they are incredible at what they do. **Community-Oriented** Part of the introductory package gives us entry into a group dance class. We had a lot of fun learning bachata for the first time. Everyone was incredibly friendly and there to have fun. It's a very positive space. There are people of all skill levels, so no matter who you are, you won't feel out of place. Alongside bachata, they had performances throughout the night -- including us! We were asked at a previous lesson if we would like to perform our first dance. It was a lot of fun, and a great method to get any performance jitters out of the way. I'm incredibly grateful that Maya and Jeff let us share our first dance with everyone. As if they aren't wonderful enough, DanceEdge does a lot to support their local community. I don't know the extent of it, but from what I understand, they help provide dance classes to under-privileged kids. As a former under-privileged kid myself, I know how much dance lessons would've meant to me growing up. I'm glad that the money from our private lessons is helping them out.

As someone who danced throughout childhood, I have continuously been impressed with the level of dance instruction and choreography-the best around! My three girls get to choose from an array of styles of dance, and with the patience and experience of the instructors, I am always amazed to see every class pick up each routine quickly! Most of all, I love PADC for the confidence it has given my three girls. My oldest has developed into such a confident preteen, coming out of a very introverted and shy shell as a child. The staff is always positive and encouraging, lovingly firm in pushing the kids to dance to their capabilities and each child who walks through that door is treated as if he/she is family. I can't recommend PADC enough for anyone wanting to begin their dance journey.

Took one of their Intro to Pole classes. As a plus-sized human, I was pretty scared, but there was…read moreno reason to be. This is a very body-positive studio. Intro to Pole class features a wide variety of stuff, and it's just there to help you figure out if pole is for you - and if so, what type of things would be fun for you. It's there to be a fun social activity, and it is NOT designed as a "push yourself" cardio or strength training class. (They have other classes for that) The class starts with some stretching and a tiny bit of simple strength training. The instructor is great about providing modifications - including how to make it harder and easier. At no point is the instructor going around trying to "correct" people, so if something isn't doing it for you, you can do it your own way or just sit out for a sec. You'll then go into being taught some various ways to interact with the pole including plain, sexy walks as well as a bit of twirls. There are a few moves shown that put you on the pole itself, but it's not a huge deal if you can't get onto the pole either. After the playtime, you'll then spend some time learning a short choreography routine. Again, the instructor provided ways to make the choreography harder or easier, and when she saw that I was struggling with a certain part, she instructed the class about a separate way to do what we were doing to get the same results without singling me out. The choreography focused a lot on getting to know the pole - and enjoying the fun of playing with pole - without being cardio or physically intensive. It was fun! To end the class, we switched the poles from static to spinning and tried the pole while in spinning mode to see how it was different. It is worth noting that the establishment only has 7-ish poles (somewhere in that range; I forgot the exact), so it's a small class of only a few people. And the studio is surrounded on every available surface area with mirrors. You won't be able to get "lost in the crowd" on this one. I'd say it feels like an intimate, small-business studio rather than a giant space. Regardless, I felt welcomed the entire time, feel pretty excited to go back for more classes, and loved the experience. Basil was a fantastic instructor and the entire studio felt very welcoming.
