My daughter has been a student at GDS for 6 years and we couldn't be more pleased with this studio!…read moreMy daughter's dance technique and performance have grown by leaps and bounds! The owner, Miss Dawn and the entire staff and teachers treat her like one of their own. They work patiently with their students to teach proper technique. You will never find another studio who accepts your child as one of their own and gives them the technique, love, and support every parent would want their dancer to have. In the past 6 years the instructors and fellow dance parents have become some of my dearest friends. In a city where practically every street has a dance studio, I couldn't recommend choosing Gotta Dance Studio more!

I sure do hate telling her no, so I just let her wear her ballet clothes 24/7. ‍ she's happy, I'm happy. A lot of other moms I chat with also highly recommend LDF and it looks like they have a lot of students so it's a popular spot to learn dance. Check it out! Plus it's affordable. $43 a month for 4 45 minute classes a month. Can't beat it. Now you can afford to buy your 3 year old a new pair of tights every week!

The front door is a gorgeous carved wood that begins a whimsical journey before even stepping foot inside! Safiya keeps upcoming events posted right outside the door. Upon entering, there is a large slope upwards into the room itself, but it's actually kind of a nice warm up, especially if you're going in for a class! There's a lovely "getting ready" area right before you hit the dance floor... and the dance floor... it's amazing. Large room, tons of mirrors. It's one of my favorites. Classes are held here daily in yoga, belly dance, and more. They also sell belly dance and performance costumes and outfits that span a wide range of colors and sizes.

Arabesque also converts into show venue where culture can be introduced to the community through dance and music. They hosts shows with traditional and fusion belly dance often accompanied by live music! The 'eastern-edgy' space was created and decorated with the purpose of complementing the performance arts. Not only is the ethnically inspired ambiance very welcoming, but the spacious sprung-wood dance floor and mirrored walls gives the classroom the look and feel that teachers and students will appreciate. So, visit our site often to see if any new and exciting activities have joined the Arabesque family!

We were able to make the spy-themed potluck recently (my Kentucky-born sweetheart is not a dance addict), and there was plenty of salsa.

A friendly welcome (especially when you're not a regular) really makes a difference!

I have taken many classes with them and I have always had a blast. They have great instructors who make learning easy and fun. It is the only Cuban owned Salsa studio in town and the only place where you can learn authentic Rueda de Casino, a fun Cuban group dance. And the great thing is that you don't even need a partner to participate. I only wish they would have more Open Social Dance nights on a regular basis. They are great for a fun night out!

I hope my information won't be shared any longer and that I won't be contacted by this business any further. Also, if the previous messages are not visible, this owner as of 4/22/22 changed my name in her system to call me a c**t and it is documented with my private information after I requested my info to be removed from her business. This was after I received multiple unsolicited messages from dating sites and political websites I did not sign up for myself using the email only this business possessed at this time. All of this harassment because I stated I felt uncomfortable at the studio in January 2022 and she perceived my actions as rude. As if calling a paying customer a c**t is not rude and unprofessional.... Please take your business elsewhere. This studio is not empowering and the owner is a bully, I cannot believe a woman who is a mother would treat another woman this way, it is absolutely shameful.
