I’ve taken many classes here as an adult getting back into dance. The instructor’s are very nice for the most part. Both studios have no air condition at all no matter the time of year. They do not have water fountains but make you buy a water bottle for two dollars, cash only. Their beginner classes are NOT beginner friendly they are indeterminate. Finally, I have now sign up for two classes that they cancel when I arrive because not enough people sign up. I come an hour away so yes they give me credit back but don’t refund me for gas? How about canceling class an hour before when you realize other people are signing up? I do not usually write reviews like this but this is definitely not a drop in friendly dance school.

We have been coming to Koresh for 6 or 7 years since my oldest was almost 3. The instructors have been great and talented. My kids enjoy taking lessons there. We always feel so welcomed by every staff.

This place is fantastic. I used to come about once a month for ballet classes before having my second child. Just went back yesterday for the first time in almost two years, and it was even better than before! Fang is an excellent instructor. I’m an adult who never took dance classes as a child, it’s strictly a hobby for me. But I felt included and like I could keep up with class.

Eva's ballet class is wonderful. She's everything I ever wanted in a ballet teacher. I love watching her move. The stretch and strengthen class is a great workout. Kevan has a great way to break down how to do the movements to make it understandable. I chose Koresh because I wanted a real dance school. The ballet instruction is legit and worth the price of admission. They were loyal to their existing customers and extended the dance cards expiration dates when covid closed the state down and quickly offered online classes. Nothing but good things to say about the owner and office manager. I recommend Koresh 100%.

To address some other comments I've seen, Koresh Dance and their policies are on par with other dance studios I have been to. The front desk staff is always professional and never rude. Additionally, the 3 month time period to use 10 classes is very generous, but if you know you can't take class more than once a week, the class pass may not be a good fit for you. Having almost witnessed my home dance studio fold, it is important to realise that running a successful dance studio is neither easy nor cheap. Still, the pricing per class is very competitive, and they do offer discounted rates for students, etc. Especially for the caliber of teaching (I can only speak for ballet with Amy or Eva), the fee is more than fair. They provide some of the best adult teaching I've seen, and are comparable to big companies like the Atlanta Ballet or Washington Ballet.
