My best friend asked me to attend a 2-hour dance class that would be taught by a cast member of…read moreHello Dolly which was touring in Louisville this week. I was skeptical that we would be able to keep up with the other dancers but agreed to go because the experience sounded unique and fun. The world of dance studios is unknown to me and I was certainly curious. He signed us up but did have some difficulty arranging payment. The studio required advance payment but did not except credit cards. Neither of us use Venmo so we weren't certain we would be able to book in, but the studio finally agreed to let him pay for our session by credit card. My understanding is they've had people sign up for the classes but did not show up and make payment that morning. Very disappointing when a class has limited space and potentially a waiting list. The studio is located in Saint Matthews. There is a small parking lot for Saint Matthews station which is shared by several businesses. The dance studio is upstairs. The owner of the studio greeted each person that walked in and checked us all registration. We did sign a liability waiver. My best friend and I are no spring chickens. We knew the class stated 10 years old - adult. Most of the students were teenagers. Including us only one other adult was participating. It was obvious each of these girls took dance lessons, especially with their professional shoes. I opted to hang out toward the back of class. It wasn't a good move for me personally because I struggled to see the footwork of the instructor but from a comfort level I certainly didn't want to be in front of other people. The instructor was fantastic! She had us warm up and then went right into a routine. We learned it in pieces and then did the full routine. She then broke us up into smaller groups and had us do the routine. Toward the end of class she taught a second small routine, and later answered questions from the students. It was obvious she'd conducted other trainings before. She was also very easy to understand, bright good energy, and really encouraged everyone. I was not a very good student but at least tried my best and certainly got in a decent morning work out that I would not have experienced anywhere else. The studio teaches a variety of classes and you can pay by the class. More guest instructors, including one from Hamilton, will be coming to the studio. The owner was extremely friendly and you can tell that she is passionate about her students. Check them out on their website or follow them on social media.

Lack of real performance opportunities and lack of continuity between the teachers. There is no set school curriculum. When I asked one teacher which method she teaches, it differed from the method of another teacher in the more advanced courses. High turn over among the staff. It seems that everyone is doing their own thing. The office staff doesn't seem to even know how to use the app to make payments. It just seems to be a hodge-podge of instruction. This place has so much potential if they have some consistent leadership.

Most classes are one hour long from my understanding. For adult classes, it's 10$ per class or you can get the 80$ card for 10 classes. I personally have been taking the hip pop classes and it's load of fun. New songs and dances every week, so won't be too repetitive. Weather you can dance or not, I believe you'll have fun and enjoy yourself. They have an Instagram (@safiyyahdance) you can follow if you want keep up to date and of course pictures and videos.

Every night is different and you never know which choreographer you will get, which keeps things exciting. Each one has their own style and flavor. I usually try to go to Monday, Tuesday or Thursday night's, which is intermediate, beginner, and advanced in that order. Wednesday can be heels or something like twerk. They also have hip hop fitness Tuesday before the beginner class. Check the site or call for schedule. They also have a competitive dance team for kids to teenagers. They are really good and win awards all the time. You can drop in or get a class card. Students pay $5 with a student ID. I believe drop in is $10. They also have guest choreographers or workshops every now and then, usually on Saturdays. Instructors are personable and will challenge you. A great mental and physical challenge, definitely try it!

My daughter absolutely loves going to dance, Mrs. Kristal does a great job at getting her out of her shell and is so sweet to her. The technique is already being taught at 3 years old and the choreography is age appropriate and adorable. Mrs. Kristal makes sure to spend the full time with the girls and gives her full attention and doesn't allow any distractions. I feel like the price is fare for a 45 min class once a week. We also got to have a parent view night where we got to come in and watch them perform. We cannot wait to for the recital to see the final piece and what the years have to bring us with Dance Fusion.

I have a Classpass membership so when I saw that B You offered silque yoga, I immediately booked a class, as it is something that I have always wanted to try but never saw it offered anywhere. I have been a couple of times now and this is the only type of class that I've done here, but it is awesome! I love yoga, but always prefer something a bit more challenging so this was the perfect fit.... You will definitely be feeling it all over afterward!! The instructor has been great and will help each person in the class, no matter what their skill level is. I was definitely intimidated at first but found that both newbies and pros will be in these classes. I've seen that they also offer trampoline workouts, which is on my radar, but love the fact that they have these other unique options, too. I'll definitely be around a lot more in the future!

The dance cardio classes are my favorite: imagine dancing during a night out but you happen to get a work out in! They have custom DJ mixes and a fun light show during class. This year, Jess opened her flagship studio in Madisonville, and it is just incredible. You are greeted upon entering by a huge disco ball and the wonderful front desk staff. Then there are 2 studios, the Mainstage, where all the dance cardio and other cardio classes are, and the Backstage, where yoga and barre usually are. There's also a playroom, and child care is offered most mornings. All the instructors are amazing, you can't go wrong with anyone. If you need a place for your kid's birthday party or if you need an event space, they often are renting it out for that as well. I cannot recommend Dance Factory Fitness enough!
