The Dance Den

After not dancing ballet for 12 years I decided to take Intro to Ballet and have been enjoying it for months. I love the positive energy and patience as I am still 10 months postpartum so my body is not as fit as it used to be.

Wow.  I can really feel in my legs the Samba practice from my private lesson with Hector last night.   Thanks so much for believing in me that I can perfect my form.

I just so happen to stumble across this little gem recently. I have never taken dance classes routinely. I love to dance but with work and life I have only taken a few hip hop classes here and there. I have been to dance out twice. The first time I was very nervous and wasn’t sure what to expect. It was hard because it was different for me as well. At the end of the class everyone came and spoke to me and thanked me for joining. Everyone was so nice and encouraging. So I decided to come back and try it again and put my heart into it. I had a great time and I was catching on to the routines faster. Would definitely recommend to anyone to try it out.

I am in love with The Dance Den. I moved to Tampa about a year ago and I had been looking for an adult dance studio. Little did I know I would find the best place to learn and grow. I am truly thankful.

What a fun experience. Everyone is so welcoming. Hard to find adult dance classes outside of the recital based dance schools for kids. This place accommodates dancers at all levels and a wide range of interests. I’ve taken the Street Jazz class and loved it. Will continue and look forward to trying other styles too. Beautiful facility upstairs from The Hall on Franklin.

I've taken a few classes here before and enjoyed it but my favorite after last night was the Intro to Ballet class with Ashley. While I have danced my entire life I have been looking for a ballet class to really get back to the basics and hone in on my technique. This class was SO FUN! Whether you are a beginner or more advanced you will love getting to take a ballet class minus the pink tights and black leotard! :p

I had the best time at tonight. My first dance class in .... ages was so much fun. I highly recommend the contemporary dance class with Ashley. She is thorough, patient, and funny -- a tough combo. Looking forward to trying more classes!

I took Contemporary with Ashley for the first time tonight and I loved it!! I booked the class in the app ahead of time and was able to walk right into class after signing in. Ash's choreography was fun and challenging! Everyone in the class was super friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back!!

Ok, here's the deal. I was referred to The Dance Den (formerly The Hip Room) by Christina Rodriguez, an instructor who lives in my neighborhood. My fiance and I came in for dance lessons for our wedding. That's when I met Nicole. She is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, flexible with scheduling,  very funny, and above all, super patient. We've been working with her for a few months now and are getting better each day. I highly recommend Nicole as a private instructor!

The minute I stepped into that gorgeous space called The Dance Den, I knew I was right where I needed to be!!  Although my love and focus are on Ballroom dance, the diversity and variety of classes offered makes it a unique and exciting studio.  Something that Tampa, with its multicultural influences, needed. I look forward to expanding my dance experience to include some of them.  
The awesome instructors are fun to work with, knowledgeable (and extremely talented), patient and kind helping you feel comfortable with every movement.  They are there to encourage you, challenge you to be the best you can be and to celebrate your growth no matter what the style or discipline.
The Dance Den is my go to! It’s a place where you can hang out, interact with other dance enthusiasts, explore your dance interests and feel totally at home.  I invite all to come, enjoy and find your rhythm.  I guarantee, you won’t be disappointed !!
