Best place in the area for dance lessons. My fiancé and I took lessons here for our wedding, and can't say enough good things about our instructor, Noah. He was patient with us and made the whole process fun. He was creative with his choreography and tailored the perfect dance to our song. We found the environment at The Dancing Feeling warm and welcoming. We look forward to coming back for group lessons in the future. We would recommend this location to anyone regardless of skill or coordination.

Walked into their old studio 7 years ago and I’ve never looked back and never regretted one moment of being part of the Dancing Feeling family. Their professionalism, knowledge and experience is the best. However, the way they care for their members as if we are family is the quality that sets them above others.

Wife and I started taking lessons here over 10 years ago - We met our instructor Rachel, loved her, and have been dancing with her several times per week ever since ! We have met so many wonderful people, enriched our social lives exponentially, and have far surpassed our wildest expectations as dancers - A special thanks to the caring and competent staff at the Dancing Feeling 💃🕺 !

My happy place :)
It took 2 years of driving by The Dancing Feeling before I had the courage to stop in and ask about lessons. I've always loved to dance but felt kinda awkward and intimidated about taking ballroom dance lessons by myself.
I signed up for the introductory special and from my first private lesson with Noah, I've been hooked. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect teacher. He's very encouraging and I felt at ease with him from the start. My objective in taking lessons(one of the things they ask you)was to have fun, and I've been laughing and having fun while consistently learning

My first visit to the Dancing Feeling was an open house about a year ago – I signed up for the introductory special and I’ve never looked back. I was paired up with Noah for my private lessons and it has been the biggest blessing! The past year has been amazing at the studio; I’ve been able to experience everything they offer in their vast array of opportunities. Coming from a dance background I’ve been so happy to be at a quality studio where the staff is well trained and places the needs of their students at the highest priority. The students and instructors have become a second family

The staff at Dancing Feeling are all so warm and welcoming, we loved walking in to smiling faces every week for dance lessons. We walked into lessons not knowing what to expect and we ended up having the time of our lives. My husband was set on performing a two-song medley for our first dance like we were in Dancing with the Stars, and the songs we picked had totally different counts and styles. Our instructor, Briana, killed it. She choreographed the most fun dance for us and really got me personally out of my shell for the whole thing. We loved her and all of our guests were so excited about

A few of our members have attended their Beginner Ballroom Parties and have come back with stories about how much fun they had! The beginner nights taught mini lessons and then had time for social dancing. Our members knew nothing when they arrived and left knowing the basics of a few dances of different types and an phenomenal night of fun! Two of our members take regular lessons at the studio and always have so many stories of their adventures. We have had members who attended the Showcase performances and were so impressed with the skill and beauty of the dancers at all levels. A truly beautiful

I walked into this studio a little more than 6 years ago and haven’t looked back. You will immediately notice how friendly and welcoming the staff is.
Before you know it, you will feel like part of the Dancing Feeling family. All the teachers are very knowledgeable and are adept at teaching all dance styles both social and competitive. You will also appreciate the studio’s immense space and 2 state of the art dance floors.
Since I started to learn ballroom dancing, I have visited many dance studios and taken classes around the country . I have come to realize how fortunate I am to have found

I started dancing here about 4 years ago. Thought I'd get out of the house a bit and fell in love with the place. I had never taken dance lessons before and after working with my private teacher, Anthony, as well as the other talented and patient instructors in the group classes, I can now call myself a dancer. I've met so many wonderful people here that have become great friends and I've grown as a person through this experience.
I'm much more confident and outgoing. It's challenging but fun! It's so good on so many levels; the exercise, the socializing, the camaraderie. I call it "My Happy Place

The Dancing Feeling staff are incredibly friendly and highly skilled. The students who dance there are like a family. There are group classes for all skill levels and amazing private instructors who bring the best out of their students. I’ve been involved with the studio for a year now and I’ve loved every minute of it. There is not a better studio around – the private lessons are so informative and fun, and the group classes offer anyone a chance to get involved with dancing at the level they are at. The Dancing Feeling fosters an environment of learning and love of dance in a friendly family

My husband and I have been taking dance lessons at the Dancing Feeling for about five years. It has been a wonderful experience. Every teacher at the studio is fantastic and well-trained by Kathy and Randy. Being a member of the studio is like being a member of an extended family. Our lives have been enriched through dance and through the wonderful people we have met at the Dancing Feeling.

We took dance lessons here for our wedding. Anthony was really great! He listened to our vision and turned it into a reality in just a few classes. We were blown away by what he came up with (being new to dance and all) and our guests were very impressed. Having the professionally choreographed dance made us feel extra special on our wedding day (and also set our mind at ease knowing what we were doing and that it would look great). We love looking back on it in our wedding video. Thanks Anthony and The Dancing Feeling!

My fiancee and I needed to learn how to dance for our wedding. We tried to learn from videos on YouTube with total failure. With her prodding, we signed up for dance classes at The Dancin' Feelin'.

Our instructor, Josh, helped us get over our 2 left feet and taught us how to dance. He additionally helped us create our own personal first dance.

I can highly recommend The Dancin' Feelin' for learning how to dance especially for the First Dance at your Wedding.
