Walk directly out of the parking lot area to the red brick building with the double doors and it's right there on the right side. It's a fairly large and open dance space. A M B I A N C E Very open and friendly. On the dance floor, there are usually many instructors teaching their own clients. It's loud enough to make you feel comfortable and not like others are staring. But quiet enough for you to easily listen and converse with your instructor. Front desk personnel are friendly and quick. Make some small talk but multitask, get the job done and you're out of there! I N S T R U C T O R Dia, our dance instructor, was very warm and friendly. She's kind of quirky and has a vibrant personality. She is a great instructor because she is able to verbalize what body movements to move to help non dancers/those with limited music sense, like my husband, understand the basics. She seems very open to answering questions. She's very knowledgeable. Because of her, I was very happy to sign an additional few classes to learn more about each dance style. D A N C E C L A S S In our first 20 min class we learned the basic steps to: foxtrot, waltz, rumba, and swing. The second class, we learned to change directions and for my husband to turn me, to each of the dances. P R I C E Our Groupon included 2 private (20 mins dance time, scheduled according to your availability), 2 group (open according to their schedule), and 1 party lesson (open according to their schedule) for $25. It was very well worth it! We ended up signing for another package "A" ?$350 (I'll check the price again). 5 private classes, 2 group and 1 practice session. We are very excited to have fun and practice a bit more for our wedding. Honestly, we go cruising a lot so we are excited to dance with the older group to more classic songs as well!

We wanted a fully choreographed first dance with a beautiful/romantic/classic first half, then to break into a short hip-hop routine at the end. Zeloisse choreographed a beautiful and fun routine for us, and we worked with her and perfected it for 3 months before our wedding to make sure it was perfect! We surprised all of our guests with our first dance, and everyone was talking about it for the rest of the night - it was the highlight of our wedding for sure! As part of our dance package, we had the opportunity to perform our wedding dance for a large group of dance students ~1 week before our wedding at the studio. This was a great experience, because it allowed us to practice in front of an audience once before our big day, and to get all the nerves out. Once we went up there on our wedding day, we knew we would rock it. We highly recommend Ballroom Dance Clubs of Atlanta and Zeloisse for helping us with the perfect first dance!!

We used the event space @ Ikonic Dance Atlanta for one of our pre-wedding events on October 2, 2014…read moreand we couldn't have been more pleased! From the very beginning, Casey and Milton were SUPER professional and flexible when it came to booking, viewing and ultimately reserving the event space. They went out of their way to deliver excellent customer service, on many instances coming in to the venue before/after hours to accommodate my family's schedule. They stayed throughout the entire event and were extremely responsive to any requests we had through the entire event. I highly recommend this company. Our event had roughly 100 people and we utilized the smaller of the 2 event spaces and it was MORE than enough room. We brought in our own food and beverages and the team at Ikonic Dance allowed us to use their kitchenette space, as well as 50 in house chairs and tables. There were 2 restrooms as well as a waiting area at the front of the venue. They had a freshly installed wood dance floor completed before our event which was an added benefit. The facility overall is in EXCELLENT condition.

A dance instructor that I met a few years ago has been having private pop-up classes here, and I've…read morebeen attending. I know that there is a regular weekly schedule of classes as well. It's really easy to spot the location as you approach the shopping plaza from the south, and it took me less than 5 minutes to get here from I-285. The studio is nicely decorated, giving a comfy, welcoming feeling when you enter. This is in stark contrast to some studios I've gone to that are basic and drab. There is only space for one class at a time, but the floor is huge! I'm thinking there would be more than enough room for a class of 30 people. There are barres (the portable kind) for hosting ballet classes, and weights of all sizes for fitness classes. The floor is kind of slippery, so if you tend to dance barefoot a lot and have soft feet (like me - definitely slipped a couple times lol) I'd suggest to at least wear some jazz footies with a grip bottom. There is ample cubbie space to store your belongings during class. There's even a good amount of waiting room for parents if you're looking to hold a class for children. Also there is a dressing room in addition to one unisex bathroom. On my way out, I spoke to the owner who was extremely friendly and mentioned that the studio has several time slots open for rentals at the moment. Dance instructors - check this place out!

Kara Jacobson is a phenomenal instructor, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping each dancer grow. She creates such a welcoming and supportive environment, where I feel both safe and encouraged to push myself. Her focus on technique and alignment is just what I needed as someone starting later in life. Every class is challenging in the best way and leaves me feeling stronger, more graceful, and more confident. What I love most is how this space feels like a true community. The energy is positive, and the staff is friendly. Whether you're brand new to ballet or getting back into it, I can't recommend this studio enough. Coming here has been one of the best decisions I've made for my body and mind. I always leave feeling inspired!

I shared with her that I had no experience but was looking to learn in a fun environment. She recommended Mr.C's Beginners Ballet. I mentioned that I read the description and that the class was not a 101 class. She was friendly and encouraged me so I thought I would give it a shot. When I arrived I shared with the woman wearing glasses at the check in desk that this was my first time. She was short with me and I had to ask where to go until the class started. I came out before class started and mentioned it looked as though everyone had quite a bit of experience. The three women at the front including Sarah assured me that it would be uncomfortable but to give it a try. I even asked if Mr.C would yell and they all said no. I had and eerily similar experience to the other reviewers with no experience. I was berated throughout the entire class. Even while I cried Mr. C persisted on critiquing me. He moved my head and forced me to look at him. I also lost the will to continue when everyone had to dance across the room. As he was shouting that I had to do it I calmly said I had enough. I went to gather my thing and he thrust his hands at me and shouted, "NEVER COME BACK!" As I put my shoes on in the lobby not one of the three women said a word. I would not recommend TADA. My goal was to learn, not be humiliated. This is not ok for anyone. I have read the review responses on Mr.C's background and I don't think this serves as an excuse for rude and unprofessional behavior. Perhaps just be direct and let adult beginners know that this isn't the place to learn. What I did take away was a reminder that when you are an expert and someone is a novice to always be patient and encouraging. The world could use more patience and kindness.

When you walk past the front desk you go down a long hallway and it looks like they have several fitness rooms and a gymnasium (there were people playing basketball in there when we walked past). The Zumba class we took was with instructor Tash. She literally screamed at us and all the students / participants throughout the class, and came within 2 feet of me to scream (and I mean triple SCREAM) at me to get my legs up. This was inappropriate and made me extremely uncomfortable. Tash asked when I entered the room if this was my first Zumba class. Despite me telling her yes, there was no instruction nor a speed a first timer could even begin to keep up with. Not sure why the question was asked in the first place. The gym overall looked clean enough, and spacious. There were at least 15 people in this particular class on a Saturday, and there was plenty of room for all of us (if any more had joined, it would have felt crowded).

She was nice enough, extremely knowledgeable, and had a contagious can-do positive personality. We were sold on this and the size and cleanliness of the facilities. Unfortunately, she is not the one teaching the classes. Teenagers/very young adults teach the classes and they are sweet but lack the experience it takes to work with toddlers and young kids. Motivation was lacking. Parents did not need to be in the class but in order to get the most of it we and other folks joined in as the coaches weren't attentive and appeared uninterested. We noticed some of the other coaches teaching the older kids were also lacking the excitement we feel a gymnastics coach should have (something akin to a cheerleading coach, full of energy and smiles.)
