Are you one of those people who looks forward to going to weddings just so you can break out on the dance floor? I am. I'm all about some old school '90s beats and hip hop rhythms. I'll tear it up to "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" or "YMCA" any day! Don't even get me started on Outkast and 50 Cent.

Of course, there are those wedding guests who enjoy a good slow jam too. And there's the group (I'm a member) that can't resist a synchronized "Electric Slide."

If you, too, love to get your groove on and are looking for a place to do it on a regular basis, here are the best places to take adult dance classes in Nashville.

DancEast

Located in East Nashville, DancEast offers adult dance classes in tap, hip hop, ballet, contemporary and jazz styles. Classes are offered for beginners and for those who are at a more intermediate/advanced level.

A six-week series is available, as well as an option for drop-ins. Classes are held Sunday-Thursday evenings during the week. Whether you want to dance your heart out for several weeks or just when you get in a dancing mood, you have options at DancEast.

Address: 805 Woodland St. | Suite 314 | Nashville, TN 37206

Studio Goddess

Unleash your inner goddess by taking a pole or aerial dance class at Studio Goddess. These classes combine dance and fitness, so you get a work out while you learn new moves. Be empowered by self-expression and strengthened in both body and mind. Evening classes last four weeks and are 60 minutes long.

In addition to community classes, you can join the Goddess Social Club and enjoy social events and friendships with other women. Or, host a bachelorette party or other special event with your besties. Dancing is always more fun when you have people to dance with.
