Dance 101 855 Emory Point Drive, Atlanta, GA 30329

"Dance 101 is AMAZING!! The staff and instructors are wonderful. Everyone makes you feel comfortable whether you are an experienced dancer or you are trying something new. I drive 45 minutes each way weekly for my classes. The prices are reasonable and you also get validated parking in their parking deck. Try it! You will love it. There are all ages, races, sizes and sexes that attend this dance school. Come as you are. No pressure if you don't have dance shoes or "special" dance clothing. Leggings or sweatpants or shorts and a tshirt or tank top and socks are perfect. I hope this review will help someone reach out and give dancing a try."

"I would not recommend this dance company if you are looking to improve along with constructive feedbacks. I was told that you have to be in a workshop class in order to receive constructive feedback. My first day, I was so excited and confident to try out something new. When you’re still new, you don’t get it. On my second day of class, I was made fun of by the dancers because I couldn’t keep up with everybody else. I also heard, “most of you are doing a great job while only some of you are still behind!” I was in a beginners class, however I felt like it was way too fast for a beginners. When you’re there, they try to encourage you to follow along, but at the end of the day, they don’t evaluate you over what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong so that you know how to improve. I was told that the basic classes are for those who are only wanting to dive into fun, however I also think it should be taken seriously when it comes to improving as a dancer. Don’t feel comfortable returning due to my lost of confidence in these classes…"

"D. Norris, an excellent salsa (Fuego!) and reggaeton (Latin Fiesta!) instructor! He is not only a good dancer but funny and humble :). I have enjoyed every class with him and my experience at Dance 101 (everybody is very friendly). I joined Dance 101 in February 2023 and will keep going and dancing!"

"I love this place so much. It's been a sanctuary for me for the past several years. I have learned various styles of dance here and it's help me improve my dance, and also build confidence. I sit here on the couch with a broken ankle, dreading how I can't go back to dance 101 for the next few weeks as I recover from my surgery, but I can only advocate for how amazing and uplifting this place has been for me. I highly recommend going here if you're considering dancing. They have all levels of classes. You just gotta go, be consistent and get to the next level. I used to be so nervous when I first started going, but I am so happy that I found such an amazing community of instructors and dance mates who have pushed me to do great. It's incredible!"

"I’m wrapping up my first week of taking classes here and I absolutely LOVE IT. As someone who took dance classes for 10+ years of my life but haven’t been in a class in a long time, it can be hard to find a class that is physically slow paced while using the proper dance language. I’ve found that balance here. I also love the variety in classes and how each teacher gives their own flare to each style of dance. Everyone I’ve met and talked to in the studio is super kind (including the studio doggies!) I’m excited to keep taking classes here!"
