Dance With Joy Studios

I first came to Dance with Joy Studios before they expanded and was welcomed and mentored by Rachel. She gives her business all her love and is one of the best dance teachers I know. She has spent decades teaching her art and connects with each and every student with so much care. All her instructors and hopefully me too (I am lucky to be one of her teachers) are all mentored by Rachel to make sure the experience of taking class at Dance with Joy Studios is the optimal learning experience. This studio has many classes to choose from, a host for many years to world renowned instructors that teach workshops, a great place for socials, and also events in beautiful Sellwood! Hope to see you there! Highly recommend!

My partner and I went to Rachel at Dance with Joy studios for some help with a dance for our wedding. She was so professional, kind, gentle and encouraging in helping us learn a beautiful dance to share on our wedding day. We are complete novices and she put us at ease. We had so much fun practicing and now have such beautiful memories forever of our special dance on our best day ever!

This studio, these people, the classes.... WONDERFUL! I found this studio six months ago and have taken Nia, Date Night Dancing and private instruction. All of my experiences here have been very good. Thumbs up and four gold stars. Much gratitude to the instructors. Many thanks for the fellow dancers.

One of the best, most clear, most enjoyable lessons I have been to in months! Rachel is knowledgeable, energetic, warm and very helpful! We showed up the Saturday night social with a lesson in Country Two Step, something we had not tried before, and walked away feeling very comfortable dancing a whole song. She made the rhythm, feel and technique of the dance very accessible and showed us the ropes in just an hour! Rachel would be a great teacher for dancers at any level! Totally new or looking to refine technique, I can't recommend Dancing with Joy enough!!
