Tacoma Dance Studios LLC — Local services in Tacoma

This place and space is an incredible gem. The studio itself is in a nice part of town, is very clean, and has nice little extras like snacks and coke drinks available. There’s even a store where you can buy dance costumes and accessories, which is both educational and inspiring. I came to the studio a hobbiest, and the studio has opportunities for all levels of dance.

I completed the beginning Bellydance series, and was surprised at how soon we were creating choreography, improvising, and learning the cultural context of the dance. In advanced Bellydance, we focus on getting comfortable in layering moves, and choreography to traditional songs. I’ve learned more in the last 3 months at this studio than I did my first 3 years of dance! Growth happens fast!

Bellydance Burn is a cardio class with Bellydance moves which is a great way to drill, learn rhythm, and sweat buckets. These are taught by Kat who is funny and generous—a great teacher.

I also go to Drills with Stacey. I LOVE this class and it gave me so much confidence and precision with my moves, along with stretches to open tight areas. It made learning choreography much easier, because my body is used to the move and its variations. She’s so caring, and gives individual support in class.

There’s other classes like Zumba, Salsa, Bachatta, and Burlesque! It’s been fun to explore. The teacher quality is very high.

Legit if you want to professionalize or have support to grow, it’s all here! Kat creates opportunities locally for performance (from full productions to solo restaurant gigs) and she seems to know everyone.

I absolutely love this place and have grown tons in a short amount of time. We are so lucky to have a local studio of...

There's so much good to say so I'll try to keep it to the highlights: I've been taking classes here with Kat and Stacy for almost 2 years now and still LOVE the classes. The classes are energetic, fun, and an actual good workout! And best part, they're actually inclusive of all types of people! Even as a plus size woman with practically zero previous dancing experience, everyone welcomes me and works WITH me without shaming me. The teachers are encouraging, kind, and respectful, the space itself is beautiful, and I can actually find parking which is amazing! If you're thinking of taking a class, do it! Having a community of people to dance with has made my life so much better and I'm sure it'll do wonders for you too! I've started expanding to take other classes and I'm still loving every aspect! My posture has greatly improved, my health is increasing and having a creative-fun outlet does wonders for all aspects of my health and for my joy! I tell everyone to check this place out, even if they're only somewhat interested in dance. Its such a great place to grow, explore...

There is a dancer in every body. This studio is that safe place you are looking for to let that dancer loose, to allow that dancer to grow, stumble, and get back up again to be met with so much love and acceptance. Sometimes living in our bodies can be challenging, but when you dance here, you get to leave those worries behind and just spend some time in your body where it feels good! This community is so welcoming and helpful. Such beautiful people have gathered in this wonderful space. Kat Ross is one of the most dedicated, hard working people I’ve ever known. She has helped me to cultivate the dancer I have always wanted to become, and in such a short amount of time! I am in awe of how skilled I am in only 7 months. Come and see how you can surprise yourself too, it’s...
