“Dear Dancers (and Wanna-Be Dancers), My cousin and I have attended the Wednesday blues and west coast swing classes at Bourbon Tango for the past month and they have been tremendous! Clay, Cherie, Amy, and Derek are all really good teachers and they were really beneficial to a couple of new dancers! And Clay has a great sense of humour and is a really good host for the classes. I highly recommend the classes for beginners and advanced dancers alike!”

“A couple friends and I recently discovered the Louisville dance scene and have fallen in love with Bourbon Tango for classes in Swing, Salsa and Bachata. Our last few years have been rough and dancing has proven to be the perfect therapy. There is such an atmosphere of warmth at Bourbon Tango. They welcome you with hugs and encouragement each visit. They have made us feel as if we not only have found a place to learn but also a loving community of fun new friends.”
