My husband and I have been coming here for months. We also took two lessons at Arthur Murray in the…read morepast. I have a dance background since college. He does not. We have learned a lot but more importantly, dance brings us closer together. Dancing has been great for exercise with my complicating health issues & my husband's bad knees from his Army days. We really respect the owners, more than 25 years of experience and enjoy the staff. Most importantly, we have fun

This type of corporate chain dance school just isn't my cup of tea. What's super weird is that my instructor Dmitiry said that he was only business partners with the co-owner Oksana, but I happen to read a Bloom magazine article that said the they were married. I mean, maybe it is marriage of convenience, maybe he was trying to appear to be single to sell more packages?? Without knowing the reason why he would say that, it's kind of off-putting,

Arthur Murray is a wonderful place to learn Ballroom dancing. My instructor was Ryan who always…read morelistened and challenged me as a dancer. I always felt inspired to keep dancing after every private lesson. The group classes and parties were so motivating as well. Barbara keeps the students and instructors so passionate. Even the new instructors Phoebe, Liberty and David were such a joy to learn from as they grew as teacher. Truly a place where you walk in, dance out and never forget! Give this amazing team of instructors here an opportunity to teach you!

From the owner: Where do you dance in Bloomington? What Social Dancing opportunities are there? We specialize in…read moreteaching people to Dance. We offer dance classes, dance workshops, and nightlife at our dance clubs. We are open to all individuals looking for a community. We operate mainly in Bloomington, Indiana. We help people to have fun, dance, be social. Kizomba is similar to ballroom dance, bachata, salsa, swing dancing, as it is a social partner dance, but with a different focus of technique and in our opinion, more social and fun. We teach Kizomba, Urban Kiz, Semba, and Brazilian Zouk!

The teachers are poorly trained, unorganized, and usually unhelpful. Foundations is their best foot forward, and it only goes down hill from there. As others have said, good luck learning unless you're self taught and in shape already. Otherwise, disappointment and potential injury are just around the corner. Hard pass

I recently went to Wild Orchid with my graduate cohort and took a beginner pole class. I was…read morehonestly pleasantly surprised by both the space and the class itself. Wild Orchid has a somewhat hidden location, and doesn't look like it should be there. It's in almost a garage and has plenty of parking. From the outside, it is pretty inconspicuous, but on the inside, Wild Orchid has a very vibrant and clean atmosphere. Taking proper precautions for COVID, stations for each student were spread 6 feet apart and there were sanitizing stations and sanitizing procedures taken before and after our class. The class itself was fabulous. Anita instructed our class of mostly novices and did an excellent job of both being engaging and breaking down the basics. I definitely struggled with some of the techniques she presented, and she ensured that I felt confident in myself and corrected what I was doing. I highly recommend looking into taking classes at Wild Orchid, whether it be as a group or as an individual. It really pushed me out of my comfort zone and I am looking forward to returning soon!

Going in the evening you risk not being able to find a parking spot (happened to me last night at 6:30). There's no where else near by to park and walk that is safe, especially when it's dark out.
