Ambo Dance Theatre - Louisville, Kentucky

A wonderful and inclusive space!

The work being done by Ambo is remarkable. They go out of their way to help others learn about themselves through dance, and offer guidance as students expand outside of their comfort zone. Their engagement with the community, and dedication to not only their students but to performance is impressive to say the least. Couldn't recommend them enough

Ambo Dance Theatre is an amazing place to dance for youth, teens, and adults. It is extremely inclusive. They welcome all body types, gender identies, and dance levels. Unlike most studios Ambo has classes that are just for adults and not teen/adult classes. I am an adult dancer and I prefer to take class with other adults because I am no longer able to do all the things young limber teens can do. So it is so nice to have this option.

Ambo Dance Theatre is also unlike most studios because they provide performance opportunities other than just dance recitals. For example, they just finished doing their Christmas show called The Graham Cracker (a Nutcracker parody). It included the adults, teens, and youth. Earlier this year the teens did a murder mystery dance show which was very entertaining, and the adult company members (yes, they have an adult dance company) went on a 3 stop dance tour just to name a few.

They have community classes that include partnering, modern, and dance improvisation as well as technique classes that focus on honing your dance skills.

If you are looking for a new dance home I highly recommend checking out Ambo Dance Theatre!

Our 6 year old participated in a kid's dance class this past year at Ambo and absolutely loved it! She looked forward to class every week! The teachers are amazing with kids, it's a great combination of age appropriate dance lessons and fun. Highly recommend!

Truly a great company to watch! The shows are so diverse and unique, providing some fresh artistry that is so needed in the Louisville community. They do some a amazing outreach as well, with affordable classes and multiple scholarship opportunities as well as pay-what-you-can performances. Their classes, choreography, and performance opportunities are flexible and inclusive with modifications provided, and they are able to pay their professional company dancers equitably, even as a nonprofit. I have truly loved being part of the classes and shows, and I am so excited to see this company grow. Come dance with us!

My daughter goes to Ambo Dance Theater for the school year session. She simply loves the Hip Hop Dance class and loves her class and her class peers. They have fun and it has helped build her confidence and helped her embrace challenges!

Three of my children has taken classes with Ambo for the past few years and loved it. They've learned a lot of new moves and even tried to teach some to me. I'd definitely recommend them.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Ambo is great place to go for all ages and I would definitely recommend this place. The people here are amazing and very supportive of each other.

Fabulous studio space! Ample room, sprung floor, lots of mirrors and natural light, plus smaller side studios. Couldn't ask for a better space to work on dance in. It's not a dedicated ballet studio, instead offering a wide range of dance types and instruction. Convenient location and parking as well. Highly recommended!
