Found a groupon for what seemed to be reasonable dance lessons ahead of our wedding. It included 2…read moreprivate individual and 1 group. Very frustrated with the experience, on BOTH individual that are scheduled for 1 HOUR our instructor tried to end them at ~25 min in! We had to fight both times to have a full lesson. In preparation for the wedding we wanted to learn a dance to our sing. Instead they wanted to teach a single move from every style of dance. The instructor specifically said we had to stop practicing the foxy moves that went to our song. At the end of two lessons they pulled us into a private room and tried to upsell us for $600 to create a "wedding dance" Didn't attend the group lesson -wasnt even worth the time to drive there.

I really enjoy the people. They are very friendly and out going. I went in to learn something…read moresimple and ended up liking it more than I thought. I especially like the theme parties we have. The best part is having an understanding instructor (Julia) who is able to teach a deaf tone guy. She is very good at simplifying instruction to the bear essentials.

The best decision we made for our wedding -- hands down…read more We came to the studio as total beginners with one goal: Survive our first dance.. What we got was so much more. Our instructor took us two nervous, stiff, overwhelmed people and turned us into a couple who actually looked forward to practicing. Everything was broken down in a way that made sense, the lessons were fun and relaxed, and we felt way more confident after every session. By the time our wedding day arrived, we weren't just "getting through it." We actually looked like we were dancing naturally, and we were confident with it. Our guests were blown away, and it became one of our favorite memories of the entire day. If you're getting married and even thinking about lessons, do it. This studio made the whole experience easy, stress‑free, and genuinely special. Whether you want something simple and natural or a fully choreographed routine, you'll be in the best hands. We can't recommend them enough.

I've experienced most of the dance studios in the Columbus area, and I believe Dance Plus provides…read morethe best and highest quality lessons available. Their lead instructor, Emily, is one of the few female instructors in the area who has the credentials to compete at the professional open level and can compete with student partners in all four ballroom styles. But what makes Emily truly unique among the local instructors is that she's just as accomplished with club dances like salsa, bachata, and west coast swing, and can even teach dances that are harder to come by such as Argentine tango, kizomba, and urban kiz (the best dance, of course ;P). Basically, Emily is the most credentialed and well-rounded dance instructor in the area, and whatever your dance goals may be, she can at least get you started in the right direction.

Once again, I am just so impressed by this wonderful dance studio…read more The instructors and owner are so kind and compassionate. They really care about students learning technique so they can progress as dancers, whether they are in it for the fun of it or in it to become a professional dancer. In fact, a couple of Butch's former students currently perform as Rockettes, another has been performing on Broadway for years, and others have been on college dance teams. Many of the Jr. Miss/Mr. Dance or Miss/Mr. Dance of Ohio have been instructed by Butch at some point (mostly during conventions, summer workshops) throughout their dance career. Many of the students have opportunities to perform locally and nationally whether it's through a local show or competition. Dance Masters of America is a large competition that students will compete at as well as Showstoppers and many others including local competitions. There have also been master classes offered at the studio but also at other studios/competitions that students have been encouraged to attend. Take a look at the wonderful ratings the dance studio receives on their Facebook page and you'll see how happy people have been with their experience. While I'm at it, I'd like to address the negative review on this page. It really saddens me that someone had a bad experience at the studio. I am certain if a dancer has an issue and it was brought forward to Butch it would be addressed in a positive matter. Again, he really cares for ALL students and pushes them to be the best that they can be.
