Amazing Instructors!
5/5
"Amazing instructors. Aside from their proficiency and knowledge of countless dance styles and music; they have a vastness of knowledge and experience that makes them well-rounded instructors that dive beyond dance movements to touch on theory, psychology and physiology (to say the least) that all combine and enhance the learning experience way beyond any regular class. Their depth of knowledge and artistry provide a strong foundation that nurtures an intrinsic understanding that help learners evolve artistically. Learning and practicing with them gives my soul a deep sense of satisfaction I haven't experienced in other classes. I look forward to continuous practice with them!"

"I always liked dancing but never really had rhythm or any idea on how to do it. After 4 months of being taught by Detroit Dance Loft (DDL) I can confidently say I’m actually learning how to dance and keep rhythm! Mind you I am a very slow learner and I have two left feet but not just the instructors but also the community that DDL has built is very welcoming and patient with me. If you want to not only learn how to dance but also have fun and make friends while doing it then Detroit Dance Loft is the place for you!"

"I've been taking classes here for a little over a year or so. Personally, it"s been fun to get back into dancing after being off for so many years (salsa, bachata) and learning some new styles that I've come to love (kizomba, zouk). The dance instructors Marc and Rose are some of the best I've ever had the pleasure of learning from, and they really know their stuff (and have awards to prove it) - also been taking classes with Erika, which I enjoy! There's also a really great dance community here/great group of folks that i have yet to find elsewhere. I love DDL!"

"Stop looking around for dance lessons. This is the spot! We signed up to learn a dance for our wedding, we already had a song picked out. I had no idea how to dance, especially sober. After 3 classes with Rose not only did I feel more confident but also looked like I knew what I was doing. My wife is a better dancer and picked it up easier- the instructor was able to slow it down for me so we didn’t look out of sync or mismatched. They also were able to slightly edit our song, to coordinate better with the dance. Highly recommend these guys , the studio is also in a really cool setting."

"I love this dance studio, all around! The place itself is great, but Marc and Rose are the best at what they do! They broth have amazingly rich backgrounds in dancing and you can really feel that when you learn from them. Their techniques in teaching are powerful and effective. They will push you in all the best ways. You will learn so much here, whether you’re a beginner or anywhere else on the dance spectrum. Very welcoming place, instructors and other students as well!"

"I agreed to take lessons with my wife and had no idea what to expect. I was really surprised with the physical and mental improvements I've noticed in myself.
The instructors, Marc and Rose are outstanding and nurture a very positive attitude that has drawn in a great group of students!
My fear of dance lessons has been turned to joy by Marc and Rose!
Thank You!"

"I love this studio and Marc and Rose themselves! I have improved so much as a dancer, both technically and in my confidence. The studio itself is gorgeous, and the cushioned floor will have you feeling the difference in your knees and feet. Marc and Rose really care about their students knowledge and ability, and work hard to create a warm and welcoming environment. The dance community here is also inviting. You will not regret taking classes here!"

"One of the best dance locations in Detroit and all of Michigan, with a great floor and ever expanding options of classes that cater to beginners and advanced dancers alike. The instructors Marc and Rose are extremely professional, passionate, and patient willing and able to guide anyone from having two left feet to being a competent dancer able to wow the crowds! If there more stars to give, this place deserves a galaxy"

"I can only echo what everyone has already said. I am not a "natural" dancer and they have helped me to understand and connect with the movements .They challenge me to continually improve. DDL is on my short list of happy places to visit."

"Marc and Rose are some of the most professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and engaging instructors I've ever had! I recently took a pop-up bootcamp with them, and I left feeling so much more confident and aware about proper technique and execution. I've been social dancing for years now and I "followed" without really understanding how to properly turn/spin/transfer weight. Since I started learning with Marc and Rose, I feel like I made major improvements and can dance more smoothly now. They care a lot about their students -- they provide feedback clearly and generously and are enthusiastic to share what they know. Whether you're looking to level up or try something new and have fun, I could not recommend this studio more!"

"This is a great studio! Marc and Rose are professional and experienced instructors. They provide cultural context and background on all the dances they teach. They also offer a wide variety of dance styles and are very invested in being a part of the local community. The prices are fair and the space is beautiful. Would definitely recommend this studio for both advanced dancers who want to learn new variations and for beginner dancers who are just starting out. You will learn so much here!"

"Hands down THE BEST instructors you will find in Detroit metro, and beyond that. They have in depth knowledge and ample experience in many genres of dance. How they deliver the instructions is just impeccable, and they tailor the communication in ways for you to really understand and mentally and physically implement it in your dance. Their prices are so reasonable.
The dance studio is beautiful and aesthetically well integrated.
You really have to take classes with them to see the magic! You don’t want to miss out!!
They are AMAZING!!"

"Easily the most outstanding teachers I’ve worked with. Their ability to recognize and resolve technical issues with my dancing was amazing. Marc’s explanations are clear and easy to understand, with great clarity on exactly what needed to be fixed. His process and method of teaching made it easy to build and develop as a dancer."

"You will get plenty of technical info in a fun and relaxed learning environment, some history here, a little bit of theory there, a touch of physiology and biology and lots of sauce!"

"I love their online lessons! I live in Canada so it was kind of difficult to attend their lessons in person. After the lockdown, I entered a depressed mode, I love to dance in Michigan and many of my friends are there so this change was not easy. I want to really thank them for their online classes and workouts, I feel much better now and I am looking forward to continuing taking classes with them. You should too."

"Marc and Rose dancing makes my day! I've loved the noon classes they started offering because it helps me structure in some work life balance and step away from the computer. My only complaint is that they offer so many wonderful classes and different styles that my dirty dishes are pilling up :). Over the last month I've gotten stonier, more coordinated and body aware. Thank you fo offering there classes during the pandemic."

"We wanted to take Salsa and Bachata classes for a long time. When we finally decided to do it and started looking for instructors, Marc & Rose came up in our search via a strong recommendation by yet another dance instructor!! A few days later we met and they became our lead into this exciting journey. Their amazing dance skills, attention to detail, adapted routines and practices made REAL progress possible. Their personalities made every single lesson a lot of fun and their immense patience with us has been much appreciated! We are so happy to be their students! ..now and for a long time to come :)!"
