I started dancing with JT since their opening. Their professionalism and dedication is beyond any other studio I have been to . They manage to follow a precise curriculum and making it enjoyable at the same time. I could not recommend them more. Your dancing journey will be amazing !!! read more

We started at JT Ballroom less than two years ago as beginners and love it. They have created a great community. We have found dancing to be good exercise for the body and mind, an excellent couples activity. The teachers are skilled, they make the group classes fun ; the private lessons very instructive. Give it a try ! read more

Just do it! I had a blast here! I needed something to shake up my schedule, get me out of the house, and move - JT Ballroom was a perfect fit. It's a great community of supportive people looking to do the same while learning a new skill and improving coordination! There are also numerous additional events, such as picnics and dance competitions, that you can participate in. Highly recommend, say hi to everyone for me! Thanks Andrew! read more

I love this place. My partner and I have been going through a really hard time at home caring for his father at the end stages of his life. My partner actually had booked a lesson just as a fun thing to do for my Birthday, but we ended up getting hooked. Dance has brought light into a dark period and it's always the best part of our week. No matter how you are feeling going in, you will ALWAYS leave with a smile on your face. Everyone is genuinely friendly, warm, and happy. You can't help but let their energy rub off on you. Our instructor Caroline is a perfect fit for us. She makes every lesson fun and just challenging enough. I can't recommend JTB more highly! The BEST. read more

I've tried every other Studio in the area, but nothing compares to JT Ballroom. The quality of their services is top notch. They really do go above and beyond to help you out. I don't think they get enough credit. They're so dedicated to you as a student and they truly care to see you grow and go as far as you'd like. Everyone who loves dancing needs to come here and see it for yourself! read more

Caroline at JT Dance Studio is the absolute sweetest and the whole team is amazing and work so well together in helping prepare a first dance for our wedding! We didn't have any formal dance training before, but Caroline made us feel so comfortable and confident. She customized every step to our song and to us! and kept the whole process fun, romantic, and lighthearted. It honestly felt like weekly date nights instead of wedding prep or TikTok viral moves. Our guests were all wowed by the dance, and months later we still find ourselves doing the steps in our kitchen. Out of all the stressful wedding to-dos, this was one of the most fun and memorable choices we made. Thank you, Caroline and everyone at the studio, for making it pure joy! read more

I had the pleasure of teaching talented and driven students, as well as learning the wonderful world of ballroom from outstanding and passionate instructors at JT Ballroom Dance Studio for about 2 years, and it is single handedly one of the most rewarding experiences and homely spaces I've worked and learned from in the Los Angeles area. The warm community crafted by Jim, Tania, Zana, and many others creates an atmosphere unlike any other studio. As someone who struggles severely with social anxiety, the team at JTB allows you to explore as they inspire you through dance and practice that not only makes you a better dancer, but a braver person each and every day you step outside your comfort zone and inside the studio. Dancing is not something that comes easy to everyone, especially for a scaredy-cat like myself, but by trying something that scares you every day alongside supportive teachers and students, the JTB Method will never fail you. Dancing is the best form of exercise because you not only get something out of it physically, but along with the journey comes a sense of community and belonging that Jim and Tania so easily cultivate and create. Savor the slows, feel the rhythm, and step inside JT Ballroom Dance Studio and see for yourself why LA's top dance studio is considered your next home away from home. read more

We worked with JTB for nearly 2 1/2 years and went from two people with little dance experience, but much appreciation, to dancing in three showcases for hundreds of people. The support and camaraderie of the group and the quality of the teachers, especially, was absolutely key. We recommend unreservedly! . JTB , . . read more

JT Dance Studio pairs you with a great teacher who knows how to lead and walks you through everything step by step. It's easy to follow, even if you've never danced before. Group lessons are included too, which helps you get comfortable dancing with different people--especially useful for weddings or other events. They also work with people who have special needs, which really shows how patient and adaptable they are. The first lesson is free, so you can get a feel for the studio before committing. Whichever package you choose after that, you'll be in good hands. They can even choreograph a custom routine for your wedding or another special occasion. The atmosphere is relaxed, and everyone is approachable. It's a welcoming place to learn to dance. read more

We used JT Ballroom to choreograph and learn a first dance for our wedding and had a great experience! Everyone was so kind, flexible and easy to work with. We had some very light dance experience but nothing in ballroom and were happy with the dance we put together. Definitely will be coming back to individual classes in future because it was fun! read more

I highly recommend JT Ballroom Dance Studio to any/every couple. As a Real Estate Broker, I work with ROI everyday. This is the ultimate best RETURN ON INVESTMENT for a relationship! Connection and teamwork are re-ignited! My wife was a professional Lambada dancer and I had 3 left feet, . Although, as a pretty decent athlete, I thought, "I got this! Boy, I got myself into some hard work but worthwhile. The satisfaction is tremendou! She watched Dancing With The Stars every year. She lit up watching, soooooo...after fake dancing with her for over 27+ years, I thought that she'd love to take Ballroom dance. Studio was right next to Marco's Pizza in Tarzana where my son worked. I walked in & never looked back. Best anniversary gift I've ever given my wife! Almost 4 years of training with our Zana (Most patient instructor EVER) 6 showcases, testings and lot's of icing of bad knees, , Kimmy is loving it. All my buddies break my "chops" about the dancing a lot but they're the ones that are missing out!! The dance training has made me a 4.0 Tennis player and a single digit handicap golfer! Jim and Tania are amazing. Atmosphere is all about fun, love and serious hard work. The staff and instructors are DA BEST too!! On a scale from 1 to 10, JT Ballroom is at ! read more

Awesome instructors! They do a good job mixing partners so you get to practice with multiple people and instructors.

Love this studio and had a wonderful experience! The whole staff was professional and welcoming, both during the initial phone appointment and upon our actual visit to the studio. My partner and I took a complimentary first lesson with Brianna and she was amazing!! We were both a bit nervous as we have no formal experience with dancing. She made us both feel very comfortable and eager to continue learning. She is a wonderful teacher with a lot of knowledge and so pleasant!! We can't wait to come back for more lessons with Brianna and JT Ballroom! Thanks for a great experience! read more

Best thing I've ever done to invest in myself. All the teachers are great and your first lesson is free. Thank you guys for a year of learning and fun read more

This is the best place I had ever had for dance lessons very friendly amazing teachers .

UPDATE: JT Ballroom is everything! The second you walk in, you are welcomed with warmth and kindness. There is no judgment, it's all about the passion of dancing no matter how old you are, or whether or not it's your first time walking into a dance studio. The instructors are amazing, their expertise, attentiveness and love for what they do really sets the studio apart. Jim and Tania, the owners, make sure to foster a loving and warm environment to not just build a community of dancers but a family. It is absolutely amazing. During the pandemic I had to move from LA to Vegas and I have been commuting from Las Vegas since December 2020 (almost 2 years now). I couldn't even think of training somewhere else or partnering with different coaches. Today, I'm back from a season of competition after working hard with Jim and Tania in the Pro/Am American Rhythm Bronze circuit and I'm proud to say that we are world champions and a US national champions. This is all thanks to Jim and Tania's support, talent and incredible coaching. But, the beauty of it is that you don't have to compete to feel at home at JT Ballroom, there are so many opportunities for you regardless of your goals. It is absolutely wonderful! Come join this beautiful family! I'll see you on the Dance floor! read more

Came here for our wedding dance practice. We were complete noobs to dancing but we wanted to do it for our wedding. Our instructor was Tania and she was very nice and lovely! Her instructions were easy to follow and she was very encouraging. We came here using Groupon and signed up for a couple more classes to actually learn the dance. The first dance wasn't much of a lesson. It's not too crazy expensive and wouldn't mind paying extra for a special day once in our life. Tania gave us a free lesson at the end of our meeting. Unfortunately due to covid we haven't had the chance to go. We ended up finding a great Mediterranean food due to coming here for dance practice! We love food and the trip overall is worth it. read more

I was frightened of formal dancing for most of my life. Frightened. After some life changes, I decided to try doing things that I was uncomfortable doing. The results is, I love dancing now. I have cried multiple times while dancing. It's been a cathartic expression. Not only that, JT Ballroom is full of class, caring, honest enthusiasm, community and integrity. You walk in, they are truly excited to have you and see you grow. The students are fantastic -supportive, humble, easy going and they work to help each other. It's really a magical place that has opened my heart in ways I never expected. Thank you TJ team. Thank you Zana! Thank you to all the staff. You are all beautiful people. Sending love and gratitude to you. read more

This place is incredible. I've never took a dance lesson before. On a whim, I decided to take a class. I found their studio on Yelp.The studio is beautiful. They have a free introductory lesson. Even in that first lesson I learned some of the basic moves of several dances. Ricky, my instructor is amazing. He has a way of teaching the steps that will stay with you. He is reassuring, kind and such a good teacher. I also want to add that all the instructors are very friendly. There's this infectiously positive vibe that makes you feel welcomed and energized.

I haven't danced in years and my boyfriend just didn't dance period, until we started taking lessons with Jim at JT Ballroom Dance Studio. Jim is friendly, funny, knowledgeable, personable and enthusiastic, going to class is always so much fun! He has always been able to work with our busy schedules which was our main concern of committing to a program. I'm so glad we did because now, my boyfriend and I can Salsa and Swing dance!! It wasn't intentional, but dancing has brought us to be closer than ever, we have more confidence and it has broke us out of our shells. We took a short break as we've been moving but we can't wait to come back! I highly recommend this dance studio, as I've danced in the past, if you're looking for a fun place to learn this is it! read more
