They spend just as much time with the first year students as they do with the seasoned. They also are just as invested in the growth of the recreational dancers as they are their company girls. Since joining my daughter's talent has soared, and the entire dance family celebrates every dancer's accomplishments. This isn't the first studio that my girls have danced at, but I couldn't imagine moving anywhere else.

The teacher, the owner, of their class never showed up and my girls never really knew who their teacher was going to be week-to-week. After just 3 classes at Center Stage they learned the basic movements and found a love for dance that WNC Dance Academy never took the time to share with them. I highly recommend you find somewhere else as this place is just a giant money pit. They are basically thieves.

I've dealt with disassociation from my body for decades and DanceClub is where I have found my way back to her. I've never had so much fun in my whole life. You can know when I'm taking a class because I can't stop giggling with joy. I have found so much growth in diving into my sensuality, in doing things I never imagined I'd have the strength for, and simply being myself and no one else. No one is watching to judge, only to cheer you on. I had a breakthrough the other day when I didn't believe I could climb the pole. I admitted my brain was telling me that I wasn't the sort of person that can do these things. I had tears in my eyes and before I knew it I was surrounded by the other girls in the class cheering me on...and I did it! Forever grateful for this family. If you're on the fence about coming, let me push you to the other side!

Her leadership is just the right combination of guidance and allowing for free movement. I love how she evolves community with each group, as we come to truly love each other, even though our connection is primarily non-verbal! I found Stacey's Somatic Experiencing Therapy to be profoundly effective. She guides in such a gentle way that one feels free to follow your inner world to the resolution you seek. Seems like pure magic! and reasonably priced to boot. Definitely worth doing a series of sessions - you'll find more of yourself in the process!

The routine planned for us was easy enough for beginners, but challenging enough at the same time. Our instructor was AMAZING! She was patient, inspiring, and so much fun!

I started out early in my young life when my mother who was an Education and Dance Teacher enrolled me in ballet and hula dance classes at an early age of five. Dance has been my athleticism, sensuality, strength, speed, poise, passion, and grace. In whatever city I live in, I seek a place to dance in. While in the beautiful, smoky and misty-like mountainous region of the Carolinas, I have found the perfect place to expand my dance instructions as well as continue on these beloved artistic side of mine. A short drive up a slightly steep driveway, this large dance venue "Asheville Ballroom & Dance Centre" was built atop a small hill and owned by the local Iwanna newspaper owner and a ballroom dance enthusiast Kathy Corn. Opened in October 2001. Parking space is ample on a private lot. A glass door leads you into a hallway where the dance office is to your right and the dance hall is to your left. Spot a life-size Marilyn Monroe on one of the corner, also the Blues Brothers, and an autographed photograph of Engelbert Humperdinck. Chairs and tables are situated on one side of this massive room. In a most spacious, wide, high-ceilinged, large room of 6000 square foot of floating hardwood dance floor and walls with mirrors which reflects me twirling, spinning, practicing to ballroom dance steps, sequences, lessons, and routines, I continued my never-dying passion for dance with well-trained, patient, professional dance instructors and amiable fellow dance friends and students. Classes range from inexperienced or the beginner, new or old students, to experienced dancers of all age ranges from the youngest to the most mature of us. All ballroom dance styles are offered. It is not necessary to have a partner for the partner dancing since all students in a class rotationally gets partnered in the course of the hourly lesson. As it is in life, there is a time when more females are present, one need not fret, as some of the students can dance as a "male lead". It is best to come in fifteen minutes early to a class, to warm up the body and to strap on those special favorite ballroom dance shoes. Ballroom dance shoes can be ordered from catalog available and from the suppliers who at times do a shoe trunk show and even at times delivers the ordered shoes. Great service by Showtime Dance Shoes from Georgia who have delivered them to me at this venue for the three times I have ordered my dance shoes. To even get a better immersion in the style of dance which a group class has its limitations of a one-on-one instruction, private lessons with the dance instructor is also available. There's the practice dance parties, the Friday evening and the Saturday evening dance parties, the Country dance parties and the occasional holiday dance parties are a blast with men and ladies all dressed up in their finest dancing outfits. Cost is $10 which includes light snacks and soda. Men in jackets and women in dresses and of course, dance shoes! As an avid dancer, I have witnessed and attended several events of Dancesport Showdances & Competitions by Professional World Dancesport Performers and athletes held in this venue. Yes, I have gained wonderful dance friends. Ballroom dancing is not just for social dancing and where ladies are ladies and men are gentlemen, it is likewise known as Dancesport for the competitive and more skilled dancer and so, I have developed my competitive style and skill in this dance studio. I will always remember the fantastic, elegant atmosphere and the fabulous dance parties held at this venue, always good and fun times, a great place for dancing and events. Because of its expansive space, it has been sought after for events and social gatherings like weddings, social, corporate events, and family affairs. Practice! Practice! Let's dance and party!!

The teachers are well seasoned and give clear cues so being new to the styles of yoga they teach isn't daunting.

They have a motto that your vibe attracts your tribe and I would say their vibe is fun and welcoming. I felt like a regular attendee after my first class.

Anyway you wanna get down is there! The instructors are all very down to earth and sincere, allowing you to have a genuine connection with each of them in your practice. I personally enjoy getting my jam on to Buti Yoga, Buti Yoga Lite, and Old School Flow. Buti Yoga is this beautiful class that combines animal flowing style of yoga with banging beats that gets your heart rate up and really allows you to let loose. It honestly called out to me and while I'm in this class, the primal energy just zips right through! It's nice to really let everything go in such a positive setting, where no one is trying to outdo anyone else- we just join our powers for a bit like Captain Planet to become these Wonder Beings! There is a Lite class available if you want to get a better grip of it before taking a standard class. If you're a little hesitant, Buti Yoga Lite is perfect to get used to moving your body using the techniques of Buti but at a slower pace and with more queues. It's even more of a "coming together" experience as we all learn this new style of movement. Whichever route you go, I definitely encourage everyone to try a Buti class at least once! Finally, I did not realize how much I'd be digging that Old School Flow! Old school hip hop makes everything better anyway, but this class is a great mid week flow that lingers in each pose for a bit and really opens you up. She usually tosses in just a liiiiittle bit of core work for good measure, and if you specify that you'd like it, makes nice manual adjustments and mini massages in certain poses. Oh so good! Lots of exclamation marks, but that's just how much I love Primal Studios. They're prices are unbeatable and they usually run specials for newbies, so be sure to check them out!
