About this studio
Carmel Ballroom Dance Studio is a community-based dance studio where everyone is welcome, regardless of age or skill level. The studio specialises in making dance lessons fun rather than stressful, with particular focus on people who describe themselves as 'awkward', 'the not-so-good dancer', or having 'two left feet'. Their instructors are trained to work with nervous beginners through to experienced dancers, and clients consistently praise the friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
The studio teaches Ballroom, Latin, Smooth, and Rhythm styles. They offer private lessons (ranging from $80–100 per session) tailored to your learning style and goals, whether that's social dancing, performance, or competition. New students can try a 30-minute private lesson for $20 as an introductory offer. The studio also runs group classes, with options available every night featuring different dances, and dance practice parties. Guest instructors are brought in for specialised instruction — one recent client noted attending a salsa class with a guest instructor described as 'top notch'.
The youth programme caters to children from complete beginners through to experienced performers. Young dancers learn partnership, exercise habits, team building, cooperation, self-confidence, and presentation skills. Children in the programme are regularly invited to perform at dance events, cultural exhibitions, fundraisers, and fairs around the city. Olga's kids group class is specifically mentioned as an entry point for young beginners.
The studio staff includes Sean G., Allie E., Zhivko Y., Toby R., Olga C., Oscar C., Marie R., Rob J., Kathleen I., and Jonas K. One named instructor, Toby, is praised in client reviews for patience, friendliness, and the ability to push students to learn while working individually until concepts click. Another instructor, Tracy, received specific commendation for making a nervous couple's first lesson 'one of the most fun date nights' they had experienced.
The studio is open by appointment only and operates as a space designed for focused learning. They also offer wedding dance packages and gift certificates. The studio describes itself as 'one of the biggest and best ballroom studios in the Indianapolis area' according to client feedback.
