I attend the ballroom events. The dance floor is large, the people are friendly, and it's a good way to exercise and meet people. Get off the chair and on the dance floor!
You absolutely can’t go wrong with this dance studio. It has always been on my bucket list to learn salsa and bachata and I finally took the leap and signed up for classes. I started 2 months ago taking 1 class a week and love it so much I now take 5 classes a week. Both instructors and students make the experience so comfortable. Everyone is super friendly and treats you like family. It’s not uncommon for classmates to get drinks and/or food in between or before/after classes or socials. Kristen and Alexs that teach the salsa 1/2 and bachata 1 classes are so patient and knowledgeable. They make you feel completely at ease even when you fumble. Joe that teaches the intermediate/advanced salsa/bachata classes is one of the best there is. Your head may be in a tailspin leaving his class, but all instructors allow you to record the demonstration at the end of class so you can go home, practice, and return to the next class able to flawlessly execute the moves. If a group class isn’t your cup of tea, they also offer private lessons. I am taking private lessons with Kristen and it has improved my technique tremendously. If you are on the fence at all, take the class, you won’t regret it.
