Aatma Dance Studio - Chamblee, Georgia

Aatma studios is truly a happy place! I have been taking classes since March of this year and it’s become my second home it is truly the best part of my day! The community is more than welcoming and respectful. Considering I’m still in high school I have never had an uncomfortable experience at Aatma studios (other than Ashwin’s complex 301 foot patterns lol). There honestly is no better place I can recommend to start your journey in dance. The teachers there are attentive and supportive and will walk with you through the process from brand new beginners to seasoned dancers.
1000000/10 recommend!

Could not recommend Aatma enough to people! It is a welcoming, inclusive environment for beginners. As you continue to grow as a dancer, there are plenty of opportunities at Aatma to be challenged and learn as you advance! Ashwin and Kristen are so attentive to your individual needs and will walk with you to help you grow in salsa and bachata. They also have a wide range of other classes which sets them apart from other Latin dance studios. I found an amazing community here when I signed up for a membership in the beginning of this year. Be sure to stop by!

I understand that teaching dance can be challenging, but I found the instructors to be dismissive and even rude. My friend and I were treated horribly from the moment we opened the door and paid for our lesson. As someone who is relatively new to dance, I was hoping for more positive reinforcement, but instead, I left feeling frustrated and undervalued.

I’ve always believed that a supportive and encouraging environment is key to growth, especially in a learning setting like dance. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. While I’ve heard good things about other instructors, the ones I worked with left much to be desired in terms of professionalism and respect.

This studio is amazing! The owner is an incredible teacher, and he and his wife create such an inclusive, welcoming atmosphere. I’ve learned so much in their Bachata and Salsa classes. The First Friday socials are a blast and a great way to connect and practice. Highly recommend!

Wonderful studio! Space is inviting and instructors are professionals who tirelessly work on teaching the attendees to enjoy dancing by providing various classes suitable to students' levels and interests. Highly recommend it! And Aatma social party as well, come check it out and have a great time.

I could not have found a better studio to re-start my Latin dance journey. Aatma studio and Kristen and Ashwin(the owners) foster a community that truly encourages a love for Latin dance and a sense of family. If you want to have fun, learn a lot, and meet new people, come here! They have a variety of different levels of salsa and bachata classes. They also offer classes on stretching and other types of dance, like reggaeton.

Aatma is my happy place. Ashwin and his team are an excellent group of instructors, well versed with breaking down complex salsa/bachata steps into simple and connected moves. I started as a beginner in 2022 and proud/humbled to say that earlier this year I performed at the Atlanta Salsa Bachata conference. All credit to the Aatma team, my class mates, and the right environment for happy learning. You also end up making great friends.

I wouldn’t think twice. Just give them a call or show up any evening. Free 1-hr Dance class on first Friday of every month at 9:30 PM, followed by a social.

I so, so love everything AATMA is doing. Such a great culture, great variety of classes and so worth the money. To me its just healing to get loose with good people, feel progress and feel challenged. Its immersive to take multiple classes in a row. AATMA is such a generous gift to the Atlanta community 🙂 I feel grateful for you Ashwin and Kristen
