Reviews of Dance-a-Cross (Dance School)

Denise Daniels

Kelly's classes are fast paced with great choreography. Lots of arm work. She uses the whole 45 minutes from the warm up to cool down. Kelly is a energetic and motivating instructor. My fellow students at DAC are friendly and fun. Great place to do Zumba!

My daughter has been dancing at this wonderful dance studio for the past 6 years. The staff are very nice people and provide excellent customer service! I appreciate that the dance moves are appropriate for my daughter and also the music that she dances to is appropriate and conservative. My daughter will continue to dance with Dance A Cross! Great Job Dance A Cross staff members! Thank you and God Bless!

I've experienced "ALL" of the dance studios in central Iowa. Dance - a - Cross is hands down the least expensive, and most professionally equipped dance instruction studio of them all!

Great teachers and a good family atmosphere. They work on personal development and are great with kids.

I really like Zumba! Kelly makes it fun but also makes sure you get your money's worth! If you like Latin music & want to find an easy way to get some exercise in...Zumba with Kelly is the way to start! After 45 minutes you will wonder where the time went!

So impressed! My daughter had the most wonderful things to say every time she came home from being there. We couldn't have liked it any better from the first moment we met the ideal staff--made us feel very comfortable!

I enjoy the mature ladies exercise class on Monday and Wednesday mornings. We get a good workout. The staff is friendly and fun to be around. I would encourage all to come and enjoy.

I love this studio! I could not ask for a better studio family and students. This studio does everything possible to make people feel welcome. I would proudly wear the name Dance-a-Cross

My overall assessment is that Zumba with Kelly is awesome! I was fairly new to Zumba but the place I was going to cancelled class more often than they had it - most classes were just 3 or 4 people. I liked the music and the moves but it wasn't worth the hassle. I was pointed in Kelly's direction via a friend on Facebook and I am so thankful because it is wonderful. Kelly has only cancelled class a handful of times and most of those were due to horrible weather that shut down the entire city. On the rare occasion that she has another commitment, the owner of the studio where we have class facilitates and leads us so we still get an excellent workout. Kelly creates fun and challenging routines but nothing is impossible. One of the best things about Zumba is that the intensity can be modified to accommodate each individual. Kelly is very friendly and personable but she is not obnoxiously annoying like some Zumba folks can be. The class size varies but it is usually pretty packed and everyone is friendly, supportive and more interested in getting a good workout than whatever you are doing. It is usually only women but there have been guys in class before and they are totally welcome. I am one of the least coordinated and most rhythmically challenged people and I have no dance background so I do a lot of things opposite the way everyone else is and I struggle to learn the dances but most people catch on very quickly and look like pros after just a couple of classes. Despite my personal challenges to master what is going on, I get an excellent workout and Zumba really helped me with my 200+ pound weight loss including the past 2 years of maintaining my weight. Kelly's class helps provide me with a fun and beneficial alternative to weights and other cardio options. She does host or help with special events throughout the year so we have opportunities to experience guest instructors, dress up in fun outfits and support various charities from time to time. The first class is free so if you are considering a new workout place - you have no excuse to not check out Zumba with Kelly!

I love the atmosphere. I can send my children in knowing they are going to have a wonderful experience. I don't have to worry about them hearing provocative music and wearing skimpy costumes. Since they have a cafe inside the studio, while my children are dancing I am able to lounge on one of the many sofas they have and enjoy a cold beverage and snack.

Very family oriented and friendly. Always giving above and beyond.

They discriminate against Gay and Lesbian couples. They refused to a Lesbian couple dance lessons. Horrible bigotry.
