I have been taking lessons at NDC in Murfreesboro for a year. Ballroom dancing is something that I always wanted to learn and was so very excited when I began with the club. At first the cost of the lessons seems reasonable but after 2-3 lessons the high pressure sales begin and you are required to pay for a certain level of dancing. It begins with Social Ease and then Bronze etc. etc. My dance instructor was great . The problem is that you can not take more than 2-3 lessons until management pulls you out of your lesson to get you to sign up for additional shows etc. I just wanted to dance and not be bothered during my lessons but that NEVER happened . And you talk about expensive! This company charges thousands of dollars. The worst part is that before you have used the lessons that you have already bought you are told that you will not be able to advance until you buy even more lessons at a higher level. You cannot use your left over lessons for advancement so they stop teaching you anything new even though you are ready. I would not recommend this organization to anyone. They do have nice instructors but many are not professional dancers yet they charge a professional fee. The best part was that I had a wonderful teacher who had to adhere to these ridiculous policies. They really take advantage in any way they can get by with. There are better options!
