We did 5 lessons with Deepika to prepare for our first dance at our wedding. We had no prior dance experience but she was so welcoming and helped make us feel at ease. She is an excellent instructor and we really enjoyed all our lessons. Everyone raved about our first dance after the wedding and we're so glad we did it! read more

I've been Latin dancing for a couple years now, and Convergence is definitely one of my most favorite spots. As a woman, I feel very safe there, which is important to me. The classes are very helpful, and the socials are fun too. read more

Great clean place. Nice people. Private lessons were fun! Would recommend and affordable.

Garth is our dance instructor. He's a great teacher as well as good person! We really enjoy our lessons with Garth!! read more

Originally, I picked Convergence Dance and Body because of its location. I live just two minutes up the road and knew that gave me the best chance of actually going to dance each week. I dislike exercising, to a fault. Dance is one of the only things I enjoy that could be considered a workout. So, location was a priority. I've stayed for over a year now because of the staff. Roxanne is an extremely skilled and experienced instructor. She is also very personable, making classes fun and relaxed. I've never laughed harder during exercise! I've never regretted going to class and always leave in a better mood. I've gained the skills and confidence I need to get out into the social scene for West Coast Swing. I've also seen Dr. Carter for chiropractic care. He is a competent and knowledgeable provider. He's been able to get me in quickly after acute episodes of back and neck pain. Now I see him about once a month, usually when I can feel my neck stiffen up. He uses a variety of modalities to address the specific needs of his patients. I expect to continue with Convergence for a long time to improve my dancing continue chiropractic care. read more

Lessons for our wedding first dance were worth every penny and minute spent at Convergence with Carter! We had no idea how ill-prepared we were for the first dance and how many things there are to think about besides the dance steps themselves. Thank goodness for Carter, who was so kind and patient with us. We made progress at every lesson, never felt rushed, and were super comfortable the entire time. Carter taught the lessons in a way that was perfect for beginners like us, and we are endlessly grateful. read more

I recommend Convergence Dance and Body Center if you want to learn to dance. Roxanne Maier is an experienced teacher in Tango, Salsa, Swing, Gyrotonics, and more. She understood my wacky learning style and taught me to dance the Tango (in my 50s) with insight, patience, and humor. At Convergence, I found a community of fun-loving, kind people who respect each other and the art of dance. STL is lucky to have Convergence, Roxanne, and staff. They are the best! read more

Dr Carter Maier treated me for a whiplash with neck and shoulder discomfort after a car accident and lower back pain. He's a careful chiropractor who is thorough in his analysis, explains what he is doing or about to do to you, gentle, pleasant in relationships and most of all: his treatment has been very effective. My neck and lower back are doing great. Highly recommended! The minute you walk in the office you feel welcomed and cared for! read more

It is a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Garth was very patient and great at explaining the steps! I would definitely recommend it.

Garth was an excellent dance teacher to work with. I promised my wife we would learn a dance for our wedding, and I had to be dragged to this dance class. Garth was very understanding that we were both on different dance levels and he found a great routine to teach us. We took a total of 10 classes and each class we added just a little bit more until we had an excellent routine. By class 9 I was actually smiling and having fun. By the time of our wedding, we were ready and the dance went perfectly! Thank you Garth! We will be back to learn salsa...or so says my wife. read more

Deepika and Robert are great instructors! I was nervous about taking a class since it was my first dance class ever, but they made it easy!

I've been doing gyrotonics with Roxanne for almost 2 years. It's been great for my balance and flexibility. And it's fun! Highly recommend. read more

I've been coming to Convergence for years for dance lessons and dance socials. It is my favorite out of all studios in St. Louis city and county. Fun venue, large quality dance floor, great instructors. Highly recommended. read more

My fiancé and I took several lessons at Convergence this fall to help prepare us for our First Dance at our wedding. Neither of us would consider ourselves great dancers so we were were a little nervous about pulling off a dance in front of all of our family and friends. We are so thankful to Roxanne who helped us to work through our pre-wedding jitters, gave us the confidence to try new steps, and had us dipping and twirling after just 5 lessons! Our first dance was more than we could have hoped for and such a fun way to introduce ourselves as couple. Whether you are wanting to increase your confidence for a big performance or just improve your overall dancing skills, we highly recommend working with Roxanne and Convergence DBC!! read more

We loved our classes at convergence! We took classes to prepare for our wedding dance and it was the most fun part of the wedding planning. It was really an excuse for me to go dancing with my (!) now husband, and now he enjoys dancing as long as it's salsa or bachata! We started with group salsa/bachata classes which we recommend to anyone regardless of experience level who wants to learns salsa and meet some great people. Then in the weeks before our wedding we also had private lessons with Robert to practice our first dance. He was always patient with us and taught us new techniques while always reminding us that the most important part was having fun together. He gave us good tailored advice on how to keep it fun and not stressful. Everyone was so impressed at our wedding! We want to thank Robert, Hanna, and Deepika for being awesome teachers! read more

I've been taking dance lessons through Convergence for years! I've done numerous group classes and private lessons for Salsa and Bachata, West Coast Swing and Tango. Currently I'm doing West Coast Swing lessons with Roxanne Maier, which have really progressed my dancing. The instruction is well thought out while still being casual. Roxanne and team do an excellent job of encouraging our own personal dance interests while providing good structure, fundamentals and fun dance skills/moves I would never have thought of myself. (As a bonus, I've met some good friends through the group classes). I'm more than comfortable going out socially for any one of these dances. And I still have lots more to learn from Roxanne and the other highly competent instructors at Convergence. They are very good! read more

My husband and I took dance classes here before our wedding. Our instructor Robert was amazing. He really listened to us and came up with a routine that we were comfortable with and helped us feel so much more confident on our wedding day! read more

Convergence DBC - Dance Studios Near Me - Brentwood, Missouri

If you are looking for a fun dance studio with awesome instructors (such as Robert!!), look no further than Convergence DBC. My then-fiancee and I are total beginners when it comes to dancing and we were only 3 months away from our wedding date. We were initially hesitant about whether or not we wanted to do a choreographed first dance, since all we had was a Frank Ocean song that had special meaning for us. We decided to give Convergence a call based on their excellent reviews, and they were able to match us with the perfect instructor according to our skill level and personality styles. Over the course of 6 lessons, Robert patiently worked with us to teach us a variety of dance move combinations that really impressed our friends and family on our wedding day! Robert made each lesson really fun and engaging; not only is he an expert dancer, but also he meets you exactly where you are and knows the precise words of encouragement to help make your wedding vision a reality. Even if you are a total self-conscious novice like me, or rhythmically-challenged like my now-wife, we highly recommend Convergence DBC, and loved our experience working with Robert! read more

My wife purchased a Gift Certificate in late December 2019. With the pandemic and flu season somewhat behind us, I called to ask about using the certificate. To be fair, the certificate had expired. However, I find it completely disappointing a studio that claims to be "mind and body' oriented, wouldn't understand why I chose to protect my health. I wonder how much money they've made off the pandemic with similar customers. This maybe a great place, but you took my money, provided nothing, and couldn't even offer some accommodation. I wish the world were different. read more

Worked with Garth for my first dance at the wedding. After a rocky start, he provided foundational steps that then worked into a great routine. I'm very competitive and he allowed me to have input into the routine to fit me and my fiancee's vision of the dance. Now moving onto some swing moves to do at the reception. Thanks Garth read more

We came here because we didn't know anything about any salsa classes or studios. In hindsight, we got so lucky we ended up here. What we thought would be just Salsa 1 ended up as Salsa 2A and Salsa 2B, then Bachata. We are hooked because these folks make dancing fun and easy for anyone. Super unfortunate but I ended up busting my knee and went to Carter, the Chiropractor, for therapy. So glad he was there because I'm back to my old self again. read more

Had an awesome series of lessons here to prepare for our first dance! Hanna was an amazing instructor! She choreographed a fancy, classy, yet easy to learn routine for our song. Would definitely recommend this place for wedding dance lessons, or any dancing needs! read more

I don't go to a chiropractor regularly, but I have been to another one years ago when I had some disc problems. Fast forward to a few months ago and I ended up with some pain that just wasn't going away on it's own. I called Dr. Carter Maier and he got me in the same day. He thought I might need to come back a few times, but whatever he did was so good that it fixed it in one session...even without me doing all of the exercises he suggested I do. And he even gave me a first time patient discount. The bill was very affordable! Then last month a totally unrelated problem came up, I didn't suffer through pain this time. I called right away and, again, Dr. Carter got me in right away. He did his magic and again I didn't even need a second visit. I love that he isn't one of those chiropractors that automatically puts everyone on a schedule of 2-3 times a week for X weeks. Some people he sees once and it does the trick. Other times you need a few visits, or even ongoing visits. It all depends on how you respond to the treatment and what is wrong. And as someone who hates getting that cracking thing where they jerk you quickly to get your bones into the right place, I LOVE that he has this handy thing called an activator (I think that's what it's called) that can do the same thing without that jerking motion. Next time I have a problem, you can bet I'll be calling Dr. Carter. read more

I searched for "St. Louis Dance Classes" and could not be happier with Convergence Dance! The instructors (Roxanne and Robert) are both knowledgable, friendly, and insightful - and really, I could go on! I am currently taking an 8 week "Fresh From Buenos Aires Series: Clever Not Complex (Beginners Welcome!)" Tango class, and it could not be more enjoyable :) And after class - the instructors never 'kick people out' - they stick round and answer any questions! Today, I stuck around to dance for an extra 30 minutes - you really get your $$ worth. And best of all (for me, as a student), there is a 40% discount with student ID (if your are under 26; and 20% if you are over 26). PS - lol,this is my first yelp review - I wanted people to know just how enjoyable this dance center is :)) read more

My fiance and I went to Convergence for their Intro to Ballroom Series and while we had no idea what to expect because neither one of us has ever had any experience with ballroom dancing, WE HAD A BLAST! My fiance, in particular, was always the last person to get out on the dance floor, but because our teacher ROXANNE IS AWESOME, my fiance will now get out there, feel comfortable with his feet, and have fun! And this was only after 6 classes. The class experience was perfect. The studio is immaculate, inviting, and inspiring with images of masterful dancers and sheet music from the exciting days of jazz and swing clubs. Aside from my fiance and myself, there were only 4 other couples and this felt just right. Not so many people that we got lost in the shuffle, but not so few that we felt like we were all lone on our awkward journey towards dance floor proficiency. And Roxanne was always able to help us understand how make even the trickiest-looking moves feel natural. She knows very well how to get you to know what you're doing and allow you to have fun along the way! No better way to learn. And I can't forget to mention that this was a major deal cost-wise in comparison to other studios! So much value! read more

What can we say? David and his team rocks! He helped us nail our wedding routine that showed Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake some love. David made sure we were experts on the basics and then opened the doors so we could choreograph the perfect dance together for the big day. He even came to our wedding to watch and support! Every lesson was fun and had us laughing constantly. We can't wait to keep up with dance at Convergence even now, after our wedding day has passed. read more

My husband bought salsa lessons for my birthday and we had a blast during the 8 week course. Didn't really know what to expect but the teachers made us feel welcome and comfortable. On the evening of our last class we went to Viva and had a great time with classmates and teachers. This was so much fun. If you're looking for a way to shake things up, this is it! read more
