Shawn Gardner Dancing - Dance school in Tigard - 8900 SW Commercial St, USA

The classes are excellent and well thought by good instructors. The dance halls are very spacious and well ventilated. The facilities are clean and with good lighting and plenty of bathrooms. The staff is nice and helpful. Overall, a good place for learning how to dance and enjoy social dancing.

Wanted to take a tour of the hall for my wedding reception. Went at a time that the owner and I had agreed on. Waited nearly 30 minutes outside because the doors were locked. Told the owner we would wait 15 minutes more before we left and no response or call back until 2.5 hours after our scheduled meeting time. Said that something had gone wrong in the back and I totally understand but would it hurt to maybe check up on someone that is interested in paying quite a bit of money to your business? Set up a time again for the next week same time with no follow up. If you're seeking professionalism, reliability, and personal care. I do not suggest this place. Edit: Yes, I was and continue to be completely understanding. The world is completely short staffed so I don't think that issue is exclusive to your company. Correct, I was rescheduled and didn't show up because I couldn't handle that unreliability on our special day. I decided to not follow up because, frankly, it just wasn't a good impression from the start. Having to play babysitter for a company that is meant to coordinate my reception and ceremony? I don't think so. But, I'm sure you have such fantastic employees that really do their best. Just, would not consider this venue in the future. Best possible regards nonetheless ◡̈

I enjoy all the great fitness classes and dance classes. The instructors are amazing. There are so many parties hosted at the studio it is great to see so many people enjoying themselves in a healthy environment. I have found the SGD community to be a wonderful welcoming community. I highly recommend starting with a monthly membership so you can try all the various classes and attend the parties.

Update based on getting a weird response from the owner? I have no clue what somebody else leaving a bad review around the same time as me would have to do with my personal experience? I also don't feel comfortable sharing specifics because it appears that the owner responds to anyone who has a bad opinion of this place in a way that seems designed to invalidate their experience. Accepting every good review without question but assuming that every bad review is either fake or wrong is...certainly a choice.

SGD is an AMAZING studio! With its wide range of dance styles and levels available for ballroom lessons and Diva Den fitness classes, the phenomenal instructors, gorgeous ballrooms, and lively socials...you won't find a better studio out there. The community you'll find there is life changing. I only wish I didn't have to adult so much, as I'd love to have more time to attend additional classes!

Look no further for the most spectacular, fun, and engaging professional dance studio! Shawn Gardner Dance Studio offers a variety of dance and fitness classes with talented instructors and a gorgeous environment that lends itself to having an incredible experience. In addition to the great classes, they hold socials that incorporate lessons beforehand.The membership price can't be beat for the amount of classes, socials, and events that are offered. If you are looking for a wonderful community to dance with, come try it out. You'll be hooked!

Great lessons, many different styles. $5 cover is not bad for a fun evening.

I love coming here for Friday Fusion! Granted, I've only been twice, but both times were great fun. Each time had its own vibe, a great class, and wonderful people. I recognized some the second time, so I think it would be easy to make friends and be part of the community after a fairly short time. I definitely want to come more often!
