I have been attending UB for 4 years now. The people are fabulous and full of energy. The instruction is the highest quality that I have found in Memphis. I was reading the reviews of S. Lee and I was surprised that was her experience. They do have two specials. I think that one has two group and 2 privates, and the other special only has one so that would account for the difference in price. Im sure if she would have asked, they would have been happy to tell her the differance. There is something for everyone. If you cant afford the privates, the groups and practice parties are also available. In response to her review of the creepy men, they are just men that are wanting to learn how to dance. I do think Im probably creepy at times when Im dancing with a more accomplished dancer. Practice party is for practice. Not everyone that comes is an accomplished dancer. Partner connection is not likely to be accomplished on the first visit. Its too bad that she gave up on the first try. I love UB. I wouldnt go anywhere else! They are like family to me now. I drive 1 1/2 hours just to take lessons with them, then 1 1/2 hours back home. Its worth it!

There are no words for how grateful I am for this studio. I used to dance a long time ago but hadnt in years and I wasnt sure what Id gotten myself into when a friend talked me into going to a Friday night group class. Yet the minute I walked through the door, I could tell this studio was not like most studios Ive been to. The instructors are incredibly skilled dancers and even better teachers, no matter whether youre a beginner or a seasoned competitive dancer. The other students are friendly and welcoming and, above all, supportive of each other. Misha and Ben and the other instructors are incredibly patient and can break things down for each student in a way that theyll understand--its truly individualized instruction. They have weekly practice parties, group classes, workshops, individual lessons--theres something for everyone. This is not a low-pressure sales type of studio--its a no-pressure sales type of studio but youll just have so much fun that you have to come back. What better way to exercise, relieve stress and make friends? All is right with the world as long as I get my weekly "fix" at Ultimate Ballroom!

This is the best place to learn both American and International ballroom styles! The staff is absolutely fantastic!!!! Misha, Denys, Yura, Ben, Jorja, and Amanda are so kind and patient, no matter how much dance experience youve had. They know how to break down the different movements so that you are able to easily learn the different dance styles. The group lessons are great for learning the basics and the Friday parties are perfect for practicing everything youve learned and getting to know other students -- they will become like family to you in no time! If you decide to take private lessons, your growth in the different styles will be exponential since you will have the complete focus of the teacher you work with. They will be able to show you the intricate details of the different dances you learn and expertly guide you through more advanced movements and patterns. And if you want a first dance for your wedding that isnt just awkward swaying, theyll create a dance that will capture your personality as a couple.

If you are looking for the highest level of ballroom dance instruction, in the most beautiful ballroom facility in the Cordova/Germantown/Collierville/Memphis area, I really urge you to try out Ultimate Ballroom. all of the instructors have years of experience in dancing, teaching and choreography. They take the time to find out what the student is looking for, and then give that to them, at the highest level. And if you are tired of the high pressure tactics that have unfortunately become associated with dance studios, you will find UB to be what you need there as well. I highly recommend this studio for beginners and advanced students, for social and competitive dance, for fun, exercise and stress relief!

Ballroom dancing can be difficult to master unless you take lessons at Ultimate Ballroom. Misha has an amazing ability to break down the steps into easy to learn patterns. He also has the patience of Job! He can create a showcase dance that makes the beginner learner look like the winner of Dancing with the Stars! His patience and great sense of humor makes the lessons and dances even more pleasurable. He has added 2 teachers who are also fantastic. If he is planning a special occasion, you can count on a great night of entertainment, food, music, dancing and wonderful decorations. You will not go wrong taking a lesson or joining a group class at his studio!! The studio is by far the best in town!!

As someone with no previous dance experience, I was very nervous about taking my first lesson. That feeling lasted about 5 minutes! The atmosphere at Ultimate Ballroom is truly friendly, and welcoming. Lessons, and group classes, are all taught with a level of professionalism and respect that far exceeded my expectations. Everyone I have met at Ultimate Ballroom, from Misha Konstantynov: owner and primary instructor, to students of all levels and ability have welcomed me and encouraged me in every aspect of my dancing. I am so glad that I had the courage to call and set up that first lesson. I am a better person because of my time spent with Misha and his students at Ultimate Ballroom.

I came to Ultimate Ballroom because my friend brought me, knowing absolutely nothing about dance, and fell in love. From the moment I walked in everyone was so welcoming and helpful. The instructors are all amazing, not just at dancing but at teaching as well, and really know how to break it down for the level you are at. And they never seem to run out of patience either (Thank you Denys, Misha, Yuriy, and Ben!) I have done group and private lessons and I love that combination because during my private lessons I can learn more at a pace that suits me. Misha has created an environment that is professional and so friendly and welcoming at the same time. I wouldnt think of going anywhere else.

Ultimate Ballroom Dance Studio is an outstanding place to learn ballroom dancing! Memphis is fortunate to have instructors of such excellent caliber who can teach any level. These instructors are not just fantastic dancers, they are fantastic teachers. From the moment I walked through the door as a complete beginner, I felt welcome and comfortable. I have been taking lessons with Ultimate Ballroom since February 2014, and have enjoyed every moment! Also, every single person Ive met through this studio including other students and dancers who come to Friday night practice parties, has been so friendly and nice. This studio is a special place and I highly reccommend it.

This studio is a really excellent value. Misha, the owner, has a philosophy that his instructors should teach you as much as you can learn as fast as you can learn it. They give tremendous attention to detail, showing you not only the steps and technique but foot placement, where to look, how to hold your arms, how to hold your hips/upperbody, etc. At the same time, this studio is tons of fun. Everyone is exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and the Friday parties are great. I highly recommend Ultimate Ballroom and am so grateful that we have this caliber of dance studio in Memphis!
