Artisan Dance Studio

I started dancing in high school and fell in love with the art of dance and choreography in college. Although I am not the best dancer in the world, It is truly my passion and I love to learn!Artisan is really the only studio in the area that has affordable, drop-in friendly adult classes. Been going off and on since around 2016 and there are lots of class offerings in all styles on evenings and weekends to try.If you want to work on technique or be helped by the instructor, make sure you start with the "absolute beginner" offerings because most of the classes are choreo based and are fast paced. Don't know what I would do without Artisan! It has been key to helping me re-visit my passion for dance and give me opportunities that I thought would be lost after college!

My roommate and I have always wanted to take hip hop dance classes, but were never really sure where we could take them that was low stakes and relatively inexpensive. Artisan is that place. Not only do they have an awesome new-member deal ($30 for 30 days of unlimited classes), but they have a wide variety of beginner classes that you can either sign up for ahead of time, or just drop in! I agree with a sentiment expressed by a classmate during my last class at Artisan: "This is the best place in Columbus for beginner level, adult dance classes."Because of the awesome deal, we decided to try a variety of different dance classes: hip hop, contemporary, ballet, heels, and jazz! All of them were great! Though each style of dance is different, each beginner class is formatted the same: a warm up at the beginning, followed by a choreographed routine. The teacher picks a song ahead of time and then breaks down the choreography throughout class into easily-digested chunks. The classes move at whatever pace the participants dictate and typically end with a group performance of the routine. Overall, I cannot believe what an awesome find this was! I would absolutely recommended Artisan to others.

I started taking tap classes here a couple months ago since I wanted to get back into it! I used to compete for 15 years so I loved that they have different tap classes ranges for beginners, intermediate and advance for adults! I'm so excited for the adult show case in June as well! Jessica and Kara are amazing tap teachers!! Definitely recommends trying out a class here!

I was so thrilled to find ADS. It is difficult to find classes catered to adults, but ADS offers so many, at different levels. Pricing is fair and the studio is up to date, clean and adheres to Covid 19 social distancing. I definitely found a new home to continue my lifelong passion in dance.
