Absolutely one of our favorite experiences in Nashville!…read more Mallory was phenomenal! Her energy and genuine love for what she does are absolutely palpable. She made learning the dances so easy with clear instructions, while somehow creating the perfect balance of professionalism, laid-back fun, and constant encouragement. But honestly, I can't quite describe the pure magic she brings to the room. She has a way of making everyone feel comfortable, confident, and ready to have fun--even when you're trying to figure out which foot is supposed to go where! My best friends and I had the BEST time, and our line dancing experience at Stompin' Grounds quickly became one of our favorite memories from Nashville. We laughed, danced, and made memories we'll be talking about for years to come. Thank you, Mallory, for making our girls' trip even more special! We would absolutely recommend Stompin' Grounds to anyone visiting Nashville!

Came here with a large group and had a blast learning country line dancing. We picked up two…read morecomplete dances and went through several full runs of each, making the dancing itself a great experience. Our instructor, Jason, was phenomenal and kept the energy high the whole time. A couple of minor drawbacks: the drinks were pretty underwhelming, and the space felt a bit tight for a party of our size. That said, if you are visiting with a small to mid-sized group and want solid dance instruction, this is definitely the place to go.

If you're a man who wants to take ballet, don't waste your time with this dump. I called this place…read moreto find out about coming by as a drop-in for their adult ballet class. The woman that I spoke with at Karen Horton School of Dance told me that they did not allow people to take drop-in classes and acted weird with me over the phone. This seemed extremely odd to me so about a month later I asked an ex-girlfriend to email the school and ask them the same thing. She received an email back stating not only that they DO allow drop-in classes but that the first class would be free and they were looking forward to having her in class! I find this beyond pathetic. These "women" know nothing about me or how much of a passion that I have to dance. This type of back country mentality is why there are no men in ballet in this part of the world unless they are either A) homosexual or B) extremely emasculated. My ex-girlfriend agrees wholeheartedly with this. In Cuba where the culture is FAR more progressive (meaning advanced), there are as many men as there are women in ballet. Those men are also revered because of the fact that there is a very definite element of real masculinity in ballet. Only very low cultured and redneck people who are BARELY out of the trees in terms of human evolution see ballet the way these people do. My only regret in writing this review is that I had to give Karen Horton School of Dance 1 star because if I could, I would give this backwoods cesspool minus 1,000 stars!

My daughter took dance lessons here as a child and had a wonderful experience. 15 years later I'm…read moretaking dance classes here. A lot of the same instructors are there and they're just as wonderful as they were when she was a child. Sincerely love it.

There is truly no place like Barfield! I began my dance career there when I was nine years old. Not…read moreonly did they give me a lifelong love for dance but they encouraged me to pursue dance as a career path. The women that own, direct, and teach there work so hard to create opportunities for their dancers to learn and shine in a safe and healthy environment. Dancers there are not just another student but a member of the dance family. I formed many lasting friendships at Barfield and I truly would not be the person I am today without the guidance and support from the staff there! After teaching in FL for a few years I was ecstatic to be able to come back and rejoin them as a fellow staff member. Now my little sister dances there and I can't wait for my future kids to do so as well!

As a parent of two daughters who danced there for 16 years each, I have had a lot of experience…read morewith BSD. Both my daughters were on the competition team for many years. When they were little, BSD was a warm, welcoming, nurturing home away from home for them. They learned and grew as dancers. When my oldest joined the competition team that had just been formed, I was able to compare and contrast what they were learning with other studios. This is when I realized that the quality of instruction was just barely par. They wanted to stay because they had deep relationships with the other dancers. Fair enough. Things changed after my oldest left for college, and my youngest was one of the most senior dancers. Although my oldest had found proof that the director had flat out stolen competition choreography and presented it as her own, the other parents opted not to speak to her about it. This was the start of the owner and directors revealing themselves. We were repeatedly overcharged, and when we requested itemized invoices, they did not even add up. One of the last statements had overcharged us $1500. My youngest became critical of the director and lack of professionalism. Likewise, she found that she could not trust her because she would tell lies to make up for her shortcomings. Weekly, my daughter would come home from the studio crying because of her experience at dance. Trying to talk with them yeilded no relief. The injury that really damaged our relationship with the family and the owners / director is when they secretly inlisted the teen and junior dancers in a local competition and intentionally left out the senior dancers. When confronted with this, they lied and denied that it was a secret, although none of the other senior dancers knew about it until it was over. Worse, they attempted to put the blame on the senior dancers. All was downhill from there. Some of the best and most dedicated dancers left. But my daughter opted to stick it out because the end of the season was nearing. She danced in the recital, but only a few weeks before she was to compete in the nationals, they cut her and another dancer who they deemed were troublemakers I suppose because they complained about being mistreated over and over again. They cut her from the team by email and would not accept a phone call or a meeting. Our family had been with that school for nearly 20 years, but they never even would show us enough respect to have a conversation about it. I even designed their new studio for them and never sent them an invoice. We were dedicated parents and supporters of that school. Even though that was months ago, my daughter still cries when she looks at her old dance bag. "They loved me. Why did they treat me so badly? Why won't they even talk to me? I dont understand. They taught us to be strong, independent women, and to stand up for ourselves and each other, but when we did they kicked me off the team without even a goodbye or an explaination" is what she just said to me through tears. As a father, this breaks my heart. Not because they mistreated, misguided, misled, and treated my daughter so poorly, but because they also crushed her spirit. If you send your daughter there, dont be fooled by the chandeliers and the sweet smiles. Those women will stab you and your child in the back.
