I've tried several dance studios around town and Dance Salsa Jax is easily my favorite. It has,…read moreunequivocally, the best group lessons in town, and they're the cheapest too. They also have three fun social events a month: a dance party, a non-dance activity (e.g. karaoke, indoor rock climbing, or go-karts), and Rueda in the Park (a group dance in Memorial Park). The Director, Ally, has created a warm, friendly atmosphere. I remember once, in my early days at the studio, going out the door after a group lesson when I heard her shout "no one leaves without a hug." I turned around, went back in, and got my hug. Dance Salsa Jax is a nonprofit that rents space at two studios. They teach the most common Latin dances, Salsa (Sunday afternoons in Avondale) and Bachata (Wednesday evenings on Old St. Augustine Rd.). Ally also offers reasonably-priced private lessons. I'm glad I found this place, my home dance studio.

The staff is extremely friendly and makes you feel so comfortable trying something out of your comfort zone. You leave the class knowing a few beginner moves and combinations. And MAN! what an Ab workout. I highly recommend checking out their numerous classes and events. It's a great way to get cardio in and pick up some dance moves.

Anybody can shake their money maker, but shaking it with grace and skill is another matter altogether. Also, it's a workout for that problematic area--you know the one--your abs. I definitely have a new appreciation for belly dancers. Will I ever reach that level of skill where I'd actually perform amongst restaurant patrons, snaking my way through veils of hookah smoke and cloth covered tables loaded with hummus and schwarma? If I continue to go to these classes I will. But even if I only dance in my dreams, I'll be doing it correctly. I'll also be wearing one of their fabulous costumes they have for sale too 'cause if you're gonna shimmy, you should look properly glamorous while doing it.

Almost two years later, I'm still hooked. It's not just the mind, body, soul connection that keeps me dancing, it's our instructors. They tailor your dance journey whether your goal is social dancing, competition performance, or somewhere in between. Our instructors make every lesson fun while emphasizing form and technique. Lastly, our studio is always warm and welcoming. Step in and give it a twirl.

Small studio with three rooms to cater to the size of the classes. One wall covered in glass so you can refine any new movements and let those creative juices flow. Dance Salsa Jacksonville Latin host Bachata lessons every Tuesday. 7:00pm - 8:00pm Beginner Bachata - 4 Week Program! 7:00pm - 8:00pm Intermediate Bachata - New Every Week! 8:00pm - 9:00pm Advanced Bachata Patterns- New Every Week! Just $10 a class!!! (Or you can save money with one of their packages: 4 classes for $35 10 classes for $60 20 classes for $100) Only down fall of the studio... limited storage (so bring the bare essentials) and the rooms can get extremely hot. But it's a little sexy to be sweating up a storm in a dance studio with wide windows into the parking lot. It's kinda cool to watch people walk pass and then do a U-Turn to check what's really going on in the room! There is also ballet for younger children and hip hop. Not sure when either classes start or end. Little girls in tutus are twirling away before I get to class and somewhere in the middle I start hearing hip hop from the adjoining rooms.

Lacking in customer service in such ways I was uncomfortable sending my young child. I enrolled my…read moredaughter to start her first year of dance. In preparation for the year, I visited Grace's website and pulled down the first class start date and loaded them into my calendar. On day one, I arrive with my 4 year old and 18 month old and the door is locked. After being let in by a construction worker, I walk up to the desk and I'm met with the look of "what are you doing here?" I say "I'm here for the 2:45 class, it starts today." In a condescending tone "Are you not getting our emails?" Me, with a baby on my hip and a 4 year bouncing around ready to start dance, "I get a lot of emails." The lady's reply "well you need to read them! Classes don't start until next week." We leave. I log into the website and I'm not crazy, it says my daughter has class that day. I check my emails. I missed the one that says classes start August 12. That's on me. I reply to the email asking that they update their online portal to reflect the correct dates. I mention that the customer service I had just received was unkind and unnecessary. I receive a reply from the same lady at the desk saying she's sorry I felt I was treated poorly, email is their method of communication, and their website cannot be changed. I'm in a group chat with 10 successful, working moms. After discussing what happened with them, two other moms mentioned it happened to them too. One even shortened a vacation to be back for the wrong first day because the website is inaccurate. 30% of our group chat. Out of all of their customers, I'm certain we aren't the only 3. In one of the many emails I have received from Grace Conservatory they list their values: Kindness, Community, Humility, and Excellence.    Given I was not treated with kindness and humility, I don't expect my child will be treated with those values attending class there either. We pulled our daughter and enrolled her in another near by dance studio. The communication and interactions have been night and day difference. Being in the Nocatee Town Center should not give you a license to treat paying customers poorly. Websites can be fixed. Communication can be better. Separately, and more importantly, kindness is free. You simply do not have to be rude to anyone that walks through your door.

Most of the classes are geared for women but they do offer a Co-ed Yoga class. Let's be clear...I do NOT enjoy working out myself....but I'm getting older and time is not on my side! I can say that I THOROUGHLY enjoy each class I've tried here. There's a variety of classes to choose from... pole classes (ladies, you'll be surprised what you can do!) strength conditioning, aerial yoga(once you take this class, a regular yoga class will seem BORING!). Shannon is a great instructor who challenges you but is mindful of your body's limitations. She will push you though! Sometimes a little ass- kicking is good for the soul;) Kelly and Dawn are amazing pole instructors who are not only patient going over every tiny step but help you find your inner sexiness...ooohhlala!
