From the reviews
I started taking lessons at Dance Louisville about 2 years ago. I live an hour and a half from the studio but I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. I began taking both group and private lessons. They offer great instruction and a wonderful atmosphere. After my first class, I was hooked.
Dance Louisville is the best! Brook Jenkins is a FANTASTIC dance teacher. She taught my fiancé and I our first dance, and my dad and myself our daddy/daughter dance. Both dances turned out so good! She teaches dance in a clear, easy to follow, and approachable way.
We had such a great experience with Dance Louisville! Dakotah and Allison helped us prepare our first dance for our wedding, and it turned out beautifully. Dakotah not only taught us the choreography step by step, but also edited our song and designed the whole dance to match our style.
We scheduled dance lessons for our first dance at our wedding. We were scheduled with Dakota (Red). Our introductory class was relaxing, getting to know what we wanted in our dance, the song, etc. he taught us some basic waltz steps. By the next class he had our performance choreographed and we got to work.
Your first ballet class at Dance Louisville
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
