Arthur Murray is a wonderful place to learn Ballroom dancing. My instructor was Ryan who always…read morelistened and challenged me as a dancer. I always felt inspired to keep dancing after every private lesson. The group classes and parties were so motivating as well. Barbara keeps the students and instructors so passionate. Even the new instructors Phoebe, Liberty and David were such a joy to learn from as they grew as teacher. Truly a place where you walk in, dance out and never forget! Give this amazing team of instructors here an opportunity to teach you!

Catty, cliquey, passive aggressive. The admin staff will be partially absent and passive aggressive…read moreat best, hostile at worst. Think you can skip all that and just dance? The teachers are poorly trained, unorganized, and usually unhelpful. Foundations is their best foot forward, and it only goes down hill from there. As others have said, good luck learning unless you're self taught and in shape already. Otherwise, disappointment and potential injury are just around the corner. Hard pass

I recently went to Wild Orchid with my graduate cohort and took a beginner pole class. I was…read morehonestly pleasantly surprised by both the space and the class itself. Wild Orchid has a somewhat hidden location, and doesn't look like it should be there. It's in almost a garage and has plenty of parking. From the outside, it is pretty inconspicuous, but on the inside, Wild Orchid has a very vibrant and clean atmosphere. Taking proper precautions for COVID, stations for each student were spread 6 feet apart and there were sanitizing stations and sanitizing procedures taken before and after our class. The class itself was fabulous. Anita instructed our class of mostly novices and did an excellent job of both being engaging and breaking down the basics. I definitely struggled with some of the techniques she presented, and she ensured that I felt confident in myself and corrected what I was doing. I highly recommend looking into taking classes at Wild Orchid, whether it be as a group or as an individual. It really pushed me out of my comfort zone and I am looking forward to returning soon!

From the owner: Where do you dance in Bloomington? What Social Dancing opportunities are there? We specialize in…read moreteaching people to Dance. We offer dance classes, dance workshops, and nightlife at our dance clubs. We are open to all individuals looking for a community. We operate mainly in Bloomington, Indiana. We help people to have fun, dance, be social. Kizomba is similar to ballroom dance, bachata, salsa, swing dancing, as it is a social partner dance, but with a different focus of technique and in our opinion, more social and fun. We teach Kizomba, Urban Kiz, Semba, and Brazilian Zouk!

I like the concept of this dance fitness gym. No mirrors, fun music and a relaxed atmosphere that's…read morewelcoming to all ages and abilities. For some reason I've only ever seen one man here - an instructor. I would think men would like dance fitness too (who doesn't like to dance??), but I guess it comes off as a woman's place to work out. The music is very pop heavy, so I don't like it, but it is nice to have a good steady beat to work out to. Some of the moves are very hard and some are very fun. I do typically leave sweaty and feeling glad I went, but I never feel pushed as far as I can be pushed. I don't really have a favorite instructor or class and I just kind of felt meh about it after a while. In some ways I appreciate the no mirrors concept (part of their fun approach), but in other ways I'd really like to see what I'm doing so I can improve my form. All in all, I appreciate the financial accessibility of this gym (crazy cheap!!) and that it focuses on dance, but I'd rather save up and find a gym that I crave going to, instead of feeling like you get what you pay for in this case. All of the instructors are nice and caring and positive by the way! But... meh.
