Every instructor and Ashley, the owner, are super friendly and they put you at ease when you step into the studio. You can tell that this isn't a typical fitness or dance studio where you come and go and don't get a chance to meet anyone. This is family and a MOVEMENT with a BIG MISSIOn that inspires everyone to be themselves, to express their unique quirks and personalities through movement and that you don't have to be a dancer or professionally trained at all in order to feel amazing about yourself and most importantly to just have fun!!! Thank you for creating this sanctuary, Ashley and thank to every instructor and member to contributing to the energy of this place.

My 7 year old Daughter who has been trained in Ballet since 2.5 years old, has taken a variety of classes at O Dance as well as a couple of summer camps. She loves it!!! Personally I was always impressed by the quality of teaching and what the teachers accomplished to pull together in short amounts of time for little productions at Boulder fares or just for family to watch. My Daughter loves it there and she has learned more dance moves and choreography whilst having fun versus at a more disciplined dance school such as Boulder Ballet. The teachers selected to teach at O Dance seem to have the right balance to keep the pupils focused on learning the correct postures and steps, whilst keeping the fun very much part of the lessons. I very much recommend this dance studio to anyone looking for a good dance program for their child. Can't speak of the adult classes as I have not taken one myself. But all thumbs up on the youth programs and camps. Way to go O Dance Studio!!

They have everything from hip-hop and ballet, to movement classes like Nia and Pilates. This is a good thing because movement classes can help a growing dancer by keeping them strong and limber without overtaxing dancing muscles and tendons. Their pricing structure makes a lot of sense, pay for a semester that would follow the local schools schedule. You can also pay monthly and annually, but they don't follow the class schedule. I thought the expression classes would be something great for any child, dressing up as characters and trying to express them through movement. What fun.

Classes are cheap ($10 for a drop in class or $35 for a 4-part series) and they start frequently (a new session every month) so I took my chance and jumped in on the next beginner-level class that came up. This was Lindy Hop 1, which meets on Monday nights. Tonight was my first lesson, and I cannot wait to go back next week. I have never danced a real dance before in my life, but John and Shana did a great job explaining everything clearly enough that it always felt natural to move on to the next step. The atmosphere was really relaxed and everyone seemed to have a genuinely good time. It is certainly okay to attend these classes on your own. My friend and I went without partners and a couple of guys stuck around from an earlier class to even things out. Not a big deal at all. I was concerned about not having the comfort of a familiar partner, but that soon was relieved as the class is structured so that every follow dances with every lead at least once. And since it's a "rotate clockwise" arrangement, there's no need to worry that nobody will choose you to dance. You just get the next person in the circle, and then the next. This setup not only eases the awkwardness of choosing a partner, it gives you the opportunity to dance with several people, and all of them will have a slightly different style. You don't learn to dance with your date, you learn to dance with anybody. The studio was a bit hot and everyone got really sweaty but, since everybody was sweaty, it was okay. I highly recommend wearing something comfortable that will allow you to breathe. After just the first session in this series, I feel like I progressed from hopeless to kind of okay at this particular dance, which is way more than I had anticipated. Trying new things is awesome!

The month of July has been a special topics month, instead of their typical progressive series, which has been really fun. I've peeked in on the beginner class a couple of times, and everyone always looks like they're having a blast. All of Boulder Swing Dance's instructors are experienced, friendly and 100% in love with swing dancing. They create a supportive, judgement-free, creative space in which to learn swing. Like many swing dance classes, you don't need a partner, because you rotate partners throughout the class. This means you learn how to dance, not how to dance with your partner. They also put on a twice-a-month social dance, every other Saturday night. It's DJ'd, and so far the DJ's have all been excellent. There is a beginner lesson before every social dance.

Yup, they have some of the most enviable bodies in the universe. And, yes, the dudes still have visible manpart protectors. Other than that, there's nothing stuffy or antiquated about this ballet troupe. I was fortunate enough to see "Rock Ballets," which featured three acts of choreography to INXS, Queen and Bowie in that order. I've always loved Queen, but seeing their music paired with innovative movement and dance had me in tears. Yes. I cried at Queen. At the ballet. And I don't regret one bit. Their next season is going to be paired with all live music and one of their performances is to Paper Bird's album "Carry On." I cannot wait to see that! The best part about this dance company is that it's still so affordable. Yes, their performances are at 84th and I-25, but it's worth the drive to be able to see unbelievable dancers at a fraction of the price that you would have to pay at the DCPA. I'm actually considering getting season tickets since they're under $100. I'm serious. I challenge you to go to one show and not be excited to see everything they produce. They've totally won me over.

It can't be easy training so many different ages and skill levels to dance, but they manage to make everyone feel welcome and teach at the level you need. I was a ballet dancer growing up, so need a lot of instruction on ballroom style and technique, but can pick up dance steps quickly. My husband is a martial artist with absolutely zero dance experience. He has different strengths and challenges from me in learning to dance. Rafia manages to teach each of us at our levels without either of us being bored or frustrated. And we're always having fun and laughing in our lessons. The instructors are great in keeping it focused but fun and relaxed. We've been with the studio for 2 years now. The way this Arthur Murray works is, you pay for the private lessons, and as long as you do at least one every two weeks, you can go to unlimited group classes, which they typically have each night during the week (depending on your level, you might be able to attend 3-4 of them). When you start, an instructor will ask which dances you're interested in, if you know, and help you figure out where you want to start. They offer pretty much every ballroom dance under the sun. We're most interested in the latin dances, so have been learning Cha Cha, Tango, Argentine Tango, Salsa, Rumba, Merengue and Samba. We've also sprinkled in some Swing, Country, Waltz and Foxtrot just from attending group classes. They start with basic steps, and each dance has a syllabus, so you progress carefully, consistently and thoughtfully into more complex movements. They're great about COVID social distancing. Everyone is always wearing a mask correctly - students and teachers. If you're worried about being in public, they offer Zoom lessons, or you could just opt to do personal lessons rather than come to the groups (which is what we've been doing for months.) On a bigger picture, if you're thinking of learning ballroom dance, get out there and do it. I've wanted to for years but felt held back by time and cost. Now that I'm doing it, I so wish I had found a way to start earlier. It's a really therapeutic part of my week. I get to take time out for myself, connect with my husband (there's a lot of work in the simple act of leading and following), and train in something I hope will continue with us for a lifetime. Plenty of people aren't partnered and take lessons alone. The instructors are wonderful for that as well, and group classes, if you're comfortable with the idea of dancing with others, allow you to meet and practice with other people - both partnered and solo, as the instructors always give the option to each student on whether they want to switch partners or not. I cannot recommend this studio highly enough. Give it a try!
