Olivia isn't just a dance teacher - she's your go-to if you're looking to improve your moves while also have fun! She is extremely talented and carries such a warm and positive vibe. Whether or not you're already a dancer, she's there to guide you with patience and encouragement. Olivia's passion for Latin dance is admirable, and inspires people to just get out and groove! If you're ready to step up your dance game and have a blast doing it, Olivia's the one to call!

This place is amazing. What was intended to be a one-time gift for my friend, is now something we look forward to every week. Our private lessons with Olivia have brought us SO much joy. This was our first time taking lessons & from the start, Olivia was easy-going, patient, & so much fun. She’s a star & we would not be taking lessons a year later if it wasn’t for all the love from her & the studio. Flexible lesson times, no obligations or expectations, friendly & welcoming environment. Highly, highly recommend if you’re looking to start lessons or get back into dance.Thanks for making our Monday nights so special. 💃 ❤️

If you want a Salsa and Batchata dance instructor who goes beyond teaching you moves and combinations to instilling a love for dancing with joy and confidence, I highly recommend Olivia of Take The Lead Dance school! She is the most thoughtful and caring instructor I have ever had! It had been over 10 years since I last danced, and I know without a shadow of a doubt that I have learned and progressed more in these last few months of private lessons than I ever did taking several years of group classes. If you're looking for a patient, understanding and effective instructor, call her now and she may have room for you!

Olivia makes learning to dance fun and less intimidating. She keeps things light, yet is very knowledgeable in many different dances and you can learn as many moves as you can remember. My wife and I came in never having danced before, and now we dance multiple Latin dances. We look forward to dancing with Olivia every week!

I randomly came across this studio about a year ago with no prior dance experience and have had such an incredible time learning salsa, bachata and various other styles of ballroom dance. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced dancer, Olivia really takes the time to get to know you and provide personalized guidance. Both the group classes and private lessons are well-structured and the casual laid-back vibe has been great for a beginner like myself compared to some of the other studios in Hamilton which are a little more intimidating. The studio itself is spacious, clean, and provides a fantastic space for dancers to learn and practice. I’ve met so many new friends over the last year and would highly recommend Take the Lead to anyone looking for a studio that combines highly skilled instructors with a warm and supportive community. The social dances on Friday nights are also super fun!
