Love this dance studio! Growing up in NJ, I went to a family owned studio so it was nice to find a…read moreplace similar in Tampa for my daughters. The owners are wonderful, as is the entire staff. And the demonstrators, who are some of the older dancers at the studio, are also so amazing with the kids. They offer a wide variety of classes (tap, jazz, ballet, acro, etc) once the dancers are of the right age to start them, as well as having a killer competition team. This summer (2021) they offered camps in addition to summer classes. Both of my daughters participated in camp, and they loved sharing all the fun activities & dancing they did during the day. I recommend Dancemakers to all of my mom friends in the area when they're looking for a local studio. We look forward to our many years at this studio!

The inside of the studio is spacious, most often it was cleaned once a week which for the amount of traffic that goes through there-that is not enough. The billing can be tricky and very hard to follow. Communication to the 'teams' isn't great, I learned that from a seasoned mom and boy was she right. A lot of turnover for the instructors which says a lot about the management of the studio. Parking can be very tight and so full at times you can't get a spot.

I am sure that this place is amazing per the reviews that have been left but I need to share my…read morerecent experience so that it helps anyone else who might have a similar scenario with this instructor! I was SUPER excited to take the Bachata class here. In June I made several attempts to get additional information because when I registered I didnt receive confirmation that my registration took. I drove up to the studio during "business" hours and both times there was no one there. I called and no one picked up. I finally got through to the instructor via Facebook she was short and rude in her messages and I had to ask the same question multiple times before getting an answer. I was unable to attend the July session and was planning to attend the August session that happen to start in the middle of July. Unfortunately I had premade plans on the day classes started but I went to the next class only to encounter the instructor who was very rude face to face and informed me that the canceled the entire August class. I would not have known that had I not gone up there as this establishment does not believe in communicating properly and only communicates when they feel it to be convenient to them. Needless to say I was entirely bummed and I will be looking for a different studio for dance lessons. I do understand the instructors frustration, however, I hope that she understands how equally frustrating it is to be a paying customer and having to jump through hoops to get a response from her in order to attend her classes!! I wasnt going by myself we were coming in as a group and all of us experienced the same interaction with her.

You know when something comes into your life at the right moment? Like the stars just align and…read more-BAM- there it is? Well, that's sort of how I see Shevon. This man is top notch - he knows his shit, he has a great vision, and he has an even better personality. Seriously, I'm a whiner about just about everything (okay, some of it is self-deprecation and hilarious) and he deals with it with total grace. He will kick your ass in the best of ways. Things will hurt or be tender the next day or two. He'll even advise you in proper jump-rope technique lest you find yourself a little too crippled the next day - and in my case high heels are off the table for a bit. I think he's amused at this recent life development, but I could be wrong. He will also mess with your head. In addition to laughing my ass off, some things that have either come out of my mouth or run through my head - "Did I just do that? Wait, he wants me to do what? I'm sure as hell I can't do that... FACK! How did I just end up here? Oh dammit... Shit this is going to suck tomorrow." He's well-trained and speaks a few different dance languages; this is how I first found the Sultan. I remember catching a couple of his performances in the area and he had this insane energy that Tampa is missing. If you want to talk about someone being magnetic, this is a prime example. I showed up to his in-home studio a couple weeks ago with no real plan other than he was going to school me in something new. I was minus my iPod and he asked if I had any music. I pulled a lone CD out and he ran with it. "Have you done any partnered dance?"... Nope! On day one I found myself getting spun around and dipped (among other things), all while making really ridiculous noises because I'm a control freak and it... Freaked me out. But hey, new experiences are good for me, right? So, I found myself dabbling in "intro to ballroom" for the first time, revisiting some flamenco, and falling back into the belly dance thing (though I haven't left it since I first started back in '07). If you want to talk about getting into fusion done correctly though... This is it. No one else in the area does what Shev does. So, what else is there to say? This isn't a weekly drop-in class; you don't just show up. If you want a regular day/time slot I'm sure he would work with you; a friend and I have started assigning Sundays to dance/ass-kicking "church" with Father Shevon (yeah, it's a terrible joke, I know). I can't help but love this new ritual in my life because it's so refreshing to work with someone so professional who can also put you at ease. Tampa doesn't know what kind of gem it has because frankly, he's too good for it.

Don't be fooled by the basic décor; the magic is in people. From the first step in the door I was really comfortable, but meeting Shevon James was a completely uplifting experience! As the founder, he is a truly gifted and enthusiastic instructor whose charming and welcoming nature instantly puts everyone at ease. I am taking his Brancee Belly and Boot Camp sessions and the energy in the room is always electrifying. Mainly because his bright face, great music and demand for form bonds everyone in the room into one ball of energy, sweat and great endorphins! This is definitely not a Barbie Doll venue. Women of all shapes, sizes and ages are representing and having a blast! Speaking for the 'over fifty' set...I have never looked forward to any fitness class but really feel down when I have to miss a class. Never had such a great time getting in shape!

My daughter started here a little over a year ago. This school at the time had only been open about 6-7 months and they were starting to grow. The Melton's (the owners) are great people and are more than a pleasure to deal with. They want nothing but success for the dancers here. They have what is considered to be two studios that are very large for a ballet studio that when opened up become a nice sized theater. There is some seating upstairs in a balcony type area where you can watch classes and rehearsals taking place. The instructors Servy and Alexe Gallardo are excellent and professional at what they do. My daughter began with Alexe and thrived with her. Alexe took my daughter in who knew nothing about ballet and she has taught her so much. My daughter now also has a class with Servy and she has loved working with him as well. He works his students very hard and pushes them to achieve more than they realize they can do but he does it in a way where there is a lot of encouragement and the students also enjoy what they are doing. My daughter always comes home a little sore and tired but is always wanting to do more and she always says how much she enjoys both Servy and Alexe. For any parents reading this. This is definitely a family type of environment with kids ranging in age from 5 years old to late teens and possibly early 20's. The classes are broken up so they are appropriate for age and skill level. The students are not competitive with each other and are more encouraging to each other which makes this a fun environment for all. The studio has now put on multiple shows at its location. Each show has only gotten better and definitely showcases the improvement each dancer has made over time. There have been many dancers (younger and older) that have have wowed the crowd during these shows with how skilled they are and how much they learn. They will be doing a full length Nutcracker here in December. I would encourage anyone to look this place up and check out the show. To any parents with a current ballet dancer or one wanting to become a dancer I would say run don't walk to this studio and enjoy the professional instruction and atmosphere this conservatory has to offer. There are not enough nice things I can say about what they have all done for my daughter and the other dancers at this location.
