ATTENTION : IF YOURE LOOKING FOR WEDDING FIRST DANCE LESSONS! I called up the studio about 2 months or so before the wedding looking for dance lessons. I talked to Peter the owner of the studio who informed me that we should take an intro to social dance class before taking private lessons. Listen, its the best move you can make, to make the most of your private lessons. It will save you money in the long run and will teach the guys how to lead and the ladies how to follow. We did the 6 week class then started our private lessons. We did 3 lessons and learned so many more steps then people who didnt take the intro to dance class. Long story short Peter is a great teacher. He will not get mad but will be completely honest if you mess up. With that said he knows his stuff. I just got married last weekend 10/29 and we did a waltz for our first dance and everyone loved it and a lot of people cried during it saying it was just so beautiful. So guys get out of your comfort zone and just give your wife a first dance to remember. Its the best moments you will ever have. So, make it special. You wont regret it. I know I didnt. Thanks Peter. See you in future classes.

I went there by myself Saturday night for the lesson and open dance after. I had the best time. There were several excellent male dancers who offered to dance with me. One man was an exceptional lead and taught me 8 different dances. I would say 9, but I was too horrible at one to mention it. Lessons for that one are in my future, for sure. I had a blast. Everyone I came in contact with was friendly and I met a lady from my church that was a very good dancer, as well. When I wasnt dancing, I enjoyed watching as there were many very good dancers there. The UofD students were helpful and friendly, as well. If you love couples dancing, I highly recommend it. The quality of the dances and dancers was amazing.

Never thought I’d be able to learn to Dance but the Instructors at Take The Lead Dance Studio made it easy. I’ve taken some great Group Classes in Salsa, Swing, Cha Cha, and Rumba and learned things that I have really been able to use at Clubs, Weddings, and other Social functions (not crazy stuff that I would never do - like another place tried to teach me). The Studio is so inviting and the floor is just great (huge, plenty of room to learn). Being comfortable on the dance floor has allowed me to get involved and meet some awesome people. Just got back to work after a few months off and plan on taking more Group Classes and starting Private Lessons in the new year.

My husband and I went to Take the Lead Dance Studio to take lessons for our first dance at our wedding. LuAnn, our instructor, was so incredibly helpful. She truly understand our personalities and vision for our first dance and turned it into a reality! We LOVED her choreography and the way she taught-- she made it so fun and easily understandable. We had such a wonderful experience! The entire staff is friendly and helpful. We recommended Take the Lead to a co-worker whose daughter was getting married and he had a great experience as well!

Best place to learn dancing. When you are someone with two left feet, and rated as 4000 out of 4000 dance students, you and your dance partner are going to enjoy the instruction. Soon you are climbing the rating ladder to become a top ten dancer. :-). Peter and Debbie have established a professional dance studio and created a social that is number one in state and surrounding area. World class instructors are on the staff. Dont miss the chance to experience this dance studio when looking for instruction.

My husband and I have been taking private ballroom dancing lessons at Take the Lead for two years, and we attend dances there several times a month. The instruction, be it group or individual, is wonderful, the atmosphere is friendly, congenial, and inviting, and there is a beautiful, large dance floor! A great variety of music is played at every dance, and the snacks that are served are delicious! Dancing at TTL has become an essential part of our social life!

Absolutely fabulous! Peter was a wonderful instructor and genuinely interested in our upcoming wedding event! We looked forward to going to his classes. Most of the time he made us laugh, however, on our last class before the wedding he sent us off like new birds learning to fly, and gave very sweet, sincere advice to my son and daughter in law! Many, many thanks to you, Peter! We ll be back soon!

I have loved learning to dance at Take the Lead. The instructors are superior teachers and the dance socials are fun for everyone - even if you dont have a partner! I have never been in a studio that was more inclusive and more welcoming. Peter and Debbie Ennis have set a high bar for excellent dance instruction and for making everyone feel a strong sense of belonging.

The price was low but the fun level was high! My spouse and I took intro to social dance because weve never done this type of dancing. (BTW, you can totally take this class solo so be unafraid) Peter is awesome! Hes funny, helpful and never made us feel stupid for our mistakes. We had so much fun that were going to continue to the next class.

I have been going to Take the Lead Dance Studio for over 3 years now. Absolutely the best dance studio ever. The owners, Peter and Debbie, are wonderful. All teachers are great. You are welcomed and made part of their family very quickly. Highly recommend them and we will continue to be part of their studio ...

This dance studio is very good. the facility is huge and comfortable. The owner is always there to help people professionally and friendly as well. There are many classes to choose from and these instructors are excellent. Also this place has social events all so the people can meet and making friends.

Many studios offer wonderful ballroom instruction and a beautiful venue to stretch your dancing toes. However their are only a few that come to mind that offer a welcome mat that makes you feel at home and among friends, Take The Lead is that type of place. Congrats and job well done.

I love dancing at Take The Lead Dance Studio! Peter and Debbie Ennis are the ultimate hosts for their Saturday evening dances! New Years Eve is a wonderful dance party every year. Never danced before? Take Peters Intro to Social Dancing classes and youll be dancing in no time!
