About the Club

Welcome to the World of Dance, locally owned and operated dance studio. With years of experience, we have discovered that when people look for dance lessons they, in fact, want something more than learning how to dance. “Something more” may include making new friends and socializing, learning a new skill as part of personal growth or exercising. Or it could be impressing one’s friends on any dance floor, feeling more in touch with their significant other by dancing together, finding a deeper connection with oneself, and more.

My fianceé and I worked with Jordan at The World of Dance to help us prepare for our wedding. He was amazing to work with, very positive & encouraging, helped curate an awesome dance specific to our song, and even recorded videos with us to practice with later! We came into this with very little dance experience and came out with at least one dance under our belt and some special moves we can bust out during open dancing. Thanks for everything Jordan! We'll definitely be back 😁

My fiance and I had the most amazing experience here with Jordan. He took two absolute novices who knew nothing about dance and transformed us by teaching us a beautiful dance to a song of our choice. It was well worth the money. Jordan made each class enjoyable and we progressed quickly from knowing nothing to having a beautiful full wedding dance in just a few classes. We drove from Evansville to get here (think 2 hour drive) every class and it was 100% worth it! This will be the highlight of my wedding, I couldn’t think of a better investment!

JORDAN LEE WAS AMAZING!
My husband and I saw that they were having a special for Valentine’s Day so we signed up and had THE BEST EXPERIENCE with Jordan! My husband and I are both Puerto Rican and wanted to honor our roots by honing our salsa skills and Jordan SHOWED UP! I’m a little more advanced than my husband but even with the difference in our skill level, Jordan was able to meet our individual needs while keeping it fun! We did three sessions with him and would’ve signed up for more if we weren’t moving away! Highly recommend taking classes with Jordan!

We just finished with our introductory courses and will definitely be doing more. Jordan is such a positive and effective instructor that my wife and I are excited to come back each time.

I absolutely love it here. I’ve been coming and taking lessons for just a few months now, and it already feels at home. Everyone is so kind and welcoming, and it’s a great outlet to relieve stress and tension. I would recommend this studio and the instructors to anyone. If you’re considering lessons, please come in and give it a try! :)

My husband and I love dancing at World of Dance! Our teachers are so patient and great at instruction. The other dancers are also very nice and supportive. We started with four left feet and are now so happy to be developing a skill we can use for our lifetimes. Bloomington is so lucky to have World of Dance!

Truly, the best dance studio— not just in town… but in the region! I just completed my first dance showcase after just under a year of lessons. What a joy and sense of accomplishment! The instructors are AMAZING— and the entire vibe is one of community, caring and support. It doesn’t matter your age , level of dance experience, or your ability level… what matters is the desire to want to dance. And the best part is, the great people who will teach, care about and support you in your journey. You always feel special (because you are! — that is the culture of the studio). That is reflected in the individual dance lessons. The group lessons are fun, informative and really helpful for all levels. And the Friday dance parties allow you to practice, dance with other instructors (and more advanced students!), and simply have a good time. 😊.
I cannot recommend World-of-Dance more highly! Do yourself a favor— try one of their incredible intro-packages at $50… and i know I will be seeing you in the studio!

Such a joy to dance here! Every week I show up, i leave happier than the last! The dance instruction is excellent (both private and group lessons). Instructors are fun, skilled, caring and ready to adapt to, encourage and engage every level of student— from absolute beginner to advanced competitor. It is my “happy place!”

I started at another local studio but recently moved over to world of dance and to say I’m beyond thrilled with my decision would be an understatement. I wish I would have started here. The knowledge & ability the coaches have are top notch. They have gone out of their way to make me feel very welcome and comfortable. I can’t wait to see how I’ll advance in this pastime under their tutelage.

My wife and I have taken lessons for several years. Every lesson is fun. Dmitriy and Oxsana are delightful, enthusiastic and joyful every time we walk in the door. They are the reason we’ve kept at it.

Incredibly warm and welcoming atmosphere. Oksana is charming but focused; she covers a lot of material efficiently. I'm learning quickly and having great fun! Dance night is friendly and supportive, too. Definitely will stay with World of Dance for a long time.

Came to visit my daughter and wanted to dance. They invited us in with open arms for their weekly Friday dance party. Enjoyed dancing with Dimitriy with a Waltz and Tango. During the dance he gave praise to all the dancers when they were dancing. Will come again when we visit.

Where to begin--I absolutely love going to World of Dance. If you're concerned about whether or not you'll have a good time, you definitely will. The owners/instructors, Dmitriy and Oksana, are so kind, encouraging, and excited about dance. They give great feedback too--over the past few months, I feel like I've learned a tremendous amount. I see the improvement from week to week.

And it's important to know that I initially went into this whole thing with a really bad attitude. We went because my fiance's parents bought us a free lesson for the holidays. I didn't want to do it...so I begrudgingly went to the studio expecting to hate dancing. But from the moment I walked in, I felt at home. It was a lot of fun! I can't recommend this studio enough.

Great people. Great dancers. Great teachers. This is the place to go!

Update: My now husband and I moved away from Bloomington two years ago (in 2020), but we love this studio so much that we’ve continued taking dance lessons with them through Zoom. We’ll take lessons from them as long as they’ll have us.

100% recommend taking lessons at World of Dance Studio to anyone wanting to learn ballroom dancing, no matter their level. These are professionally trained dancers who can take you from complete beginner to competing level, or just teach you to have a good time with no pressure to perform, if that is what you are looking for. Their teaching technique is as enjoyable as it is excellent, and you will come out of your lesson with a big smile on your face! Excellent investment on your physical, emotional and mental health!

Dmitriy and Oksana are amazingly talented and incredibly kind and encouraging. They have created a fun and welcoming dance community in Bloomington, and I look forward to participating every week. World of Dance is one of Bloomington's gems, and I recommend it to anyone - experienced dancer or novice - with a desire to enrich their life and make new friends.

Bailar llena todo mi ser, es como encender una chispa dinamita, siento que mi espiritu lleva mi cuerpo (y no al revés como en la realidad). World of Dance me enseño que no hay limites, ni de edad, ni de idioma, ni ser tímido o torpe, etc., si esta en ti, dejalo salir y que vuele. Gracias a mis 2 maestros, Dmitriy y Oksana, por su paciencia y dedicacion en cada una de sus clases...

My dad and I had a great time learning a waltz with Oksana! We came in only about 5 weeks before my wedding, and everything went very smoothly. Oksana is lovely and professional. What a great experience!

I’ve been working with this studio for almost two years both with my husband in social dance and as a pro/am competitor. Their attention to detail, level of service, and love of creating beautiful dancers is unparalleled. You are known, and you are pushed to become a graceful and balanced dancer. They give much more than steps, but a clear foundation of technique showing you the work it takes to look controlled, confident, and grounded—not uncertain and restricted on the dance floor. If you are looking for a personal experience and want to become a great ballroom dancer, this is where you should go.

Never been, but it is owned and operated by two of my favorite people on the planet, if that counts for anything. Top notch dancers that can teach you any style from a sweet first wedding dance to a scorching, competition-worthy tango. 💯❗

My wife and I had a dance lesson for a special occasion. Oksana and Dmitriy are both so enthusiastic about their work and such patient instructors, I think they would set anyone at ease. Clearly they have been doing this forever. At moments when I was less confident (and I swear I did not telegraph it), she sensed it and responded with positive feedback. We had a wonderful time. They seem to be fantastic people performing work that is their calling. I'm sure this accounts for the large group of folks we watched finish up prior to our appointment. Positive recommendation.

We worked with Oksana from Fred Astaire Dance Studio to create and practice our first dance for our wedding. Oksana was very patient with us as neither my husband or I had had any dance experience. She created a dance that was accessible, fun, and went along with our first dance song. We were also invited back to the studio before our wedding to practice our dance in front of an audience. Overall, we had a great experience working with Oksana and I would recommend her and studio!

I can't say enough good things about Dmitriy and Oksana at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio. They're wonderful instructors (knowledgable, helpful, kind, patient, and enthusiastic) and make the experience very enjoyable. If not for them, I don't think we would've spent the past 6 months learning and improving at ballroom dancing -- I'm very glad we found them as our teachers and I look forward to our lesson next week!

Thanks to Oksana and Dmitriy we have more fun than we've ever had when we go out dancing and are looking forward to continuing lessons with them!
My husband Sam and I began taking dance lessons with Oksana and Dmitriy this past year and have had an incredible experience. They are both fabulous instructors, have great prices, and the studio is a wonderful and comfortable space to practice in. I had done some dance lessons abroad before, but my husband had not and they were able to design classes for us that fit both of our interests and skills perfectly. Oksana has been our instructor and has been absolutely incredible. She is an incredibly kind, knowledgable and positive teacher who makes every lesson enjoyable and we always feel like we walk away having learned something new.

It is an amazing experience to dance at the studio. Teachers are able to cater to completely different levels of partners (I have 10 years of dancing experience, my husband had 0). Dmitry was able to create an outstanding wedding routine for us. I recommend the place to everyone for fun, for competitive dancing and for discovering the world of dance.

We have a very small amount of basic dance experience and received a dance package as a gift. I wasn’t sure what to expect in a private lesson having only done a few group lessons before. Dmitri was a wonderful instructor- he made us feel comfortable right away, gave clear easy to understand instructions, and was super encouraging and high energy. Already planning how to continue lessons after our gift lessons are used up.

Lively and fun! Superb instruction; no intimidation; welcoming and warm. A great place to experience dance. Not only are the teachers great dancers, they're great teachers of dance, and those two things are not necessarily synonymous. Thank you for being in Bloomington!

I love both the teachers at this studio they are very upbeat and happy and do a great job making everything simple and developing the movements and dances in a easy to follow way so you are never trying anything that is difficult to succeed at. The lessons fly by and feel like they only lasted a few minutes thats the best way I know to tell that I am having a blast.
