I first walked into Blue Suede two months ago. I wanted to learn to ballroom dance, so I starting searching online for studios in the Germantown/Collierville area and reading reviews, just like you are probably doing now. After weighing my options, I made the decision to call and schedule a lesson at Blue Suede, and this has been one of the best decisions Ive made. The instructors are really great, and they have a love of dance that just pours out. I take private lessons with Jonathan, and he is great at helping me learn the dances that Im interested in learning (or suggesting dances that I may be interested in). He is patient with me and has a good attitude, which makes it easier for me to learn. He challenges me to stretch myself, and through working with him, Ive gained a deeper love of dance and the confidence to get out on the dance floor. Over these two months, Ive learned all kinds of dances, and Ive met wonderful people that I see each week at group classes and the Friday night dance parties. These people help me practice what Ive learned, and they are willing to share their knowledge or give me tips when I need a little help. Blue Suede has become a very special place to me. This is where I discovered that, even though I can be a little clumsy, I am fully capable of learning to dance when the right people are helping me along. And the instructors here and my new dance friends are those "right people." Now, thanks to BSB, I am a dancer.

Once you start dancing whatever your purpose was, you desire to become a better dancer. Blue Suede Ballroom is the only studio in Memphis area to teach high quality techniques for all category of dances, not just dance steps. You can learn how to dance, lead, follow, walk, think, make your body, so on, so on. All instructors are talented and knowledgable, and welcome you with BIG smiles! They are really warm :) There are many opportunities the studio offers to us...dance party with many instructors and staff (and many decent male students!!); a variety of group classes almost every night Tuesday to Saturday; attending local and National competitions; and many special FUN events. Students here also are great people, and you will realize how everyone dances beautifully...it is really because of our teachers in this studio, in my opinion! Ive learned ballroom dance from many instructors in town, in other cities, and in other country, and I am so happy to finally reach Andriy/owner who teaches most important fundamentals to all levels of students!!

I took lessons at Blue Suede Ballroom for five years, and I can recommend the studio without reservation. The instructors are very knowledgeable, so they can cater to any skill level. If youre just starting out the beginner classes are easy to follow, relaxed, and very fun; theyll get you up to speed in no time. If you are more advanced, you will benefit from the more technique-oriented advanced classes or private lessons. In particular, the owner, Andriy, is a tremendously skilled dancer wholl improve even open level dancers skills. In addition the studio will often bring in world class instructors from across the country for coaching and workshops. All of the staff are wonderful people. If you attend frequently youll get to know and become good friends with all of them, as well as a great group of regular students. Im very glad to have found the studio while I was in the Memphis area, and still keep in touch with everybody there.

I started taking lessons at Blue Suede on a recommendation of a friend. I was looking to get in shape but also to learn something new that I had never done before. I have done mostly private but also group classes. All I can say is this place rocked my world! All the teachers here are true professionals but most importantly they CARE about you and what you are looking to get out of your lessons. There is this unique home-like feel to the studio where everyone is friendly; there is no rush, no pressure - just makes you want to come back as soon as you leave. Also, they are very reasonably priced - once you get past the beginner specials, they are the best value in Memphis. Absolutely, hands down, best kept secret in town!

About a year and a half ago, my husband and I decided to take up ballroom dancing for fun and exercise. We visited a couple of studios in the area and, liking Blue Suede the best, we began going to lessons and dance parties there weekly. At first we were rank beginners and felt clumsy and self-conscious, but the teachers and students welcomed and encouraged us! Now when we go to dance parties, we always know some steps for the ballroom dances and enjoy flying around the room in social dance or working out a routine to demo at an studio showcase. We have found ballroom dancing to be great antidote to empty nest syndrome and a fun shared activity. Blue Suede Ballroom is a great place to learn dance and make friends.

Blue Suede Ballroom makes any level dancer feel like a performer! If you want to "get your feet wet" try the beginners class on Tuesday nights at 7 pm. If you have you had a class or two but need a bump up from beginner, go to the Wednesday night class. If you think you would like to dance in the Memphis rain like Gene Kelly, take the Thursday night class. No partner is required. I began my ballroom training here. I wanted to go to a place where I could dance, not be "hit on". I was welcomed with open arms and have met so many good friends. No drama, just fun! The instructors are great and very patient. Try a group class and start dancing!

Blue Suede Ballroom is the friendliest place in town. I searched long and hard for a studio that could teach all levels of dancing and had students that would welcome a single woman and my teenage son. We both now are avid dancers and have graduated to competition level. BSB is the rare place that can teach at the advanced competition level with nationally ranked amateur dancers in house but also welcome the enthusiastic beginner. You will love it and stay in great shape too.

Blue Suede Ballroom Dance Studio is the BEST! I have been taking private dance lessons for the past few months with my husband. It has been a BLAST! The teachers are super enthusiastic and really made us feel comfortable and excited right from our first dance lesson. You can tell they really love what they do, and it reflects in the entire studio. The environment is fun and really nice!

I have been taking dance lessons at Blue Suede for three years. When I began, I had never danced ballroom, but now I feel confident dancing with a partner. The teachers and students here are friendly and professional.

If youre looking for a business that believes in poor customer service and does not answer phone call then I highly recommend Blue Suede!
