They will push your child to improve while at the same time taking your whole child into account to understand where they are at any given time. My daughter has greatly improved as a dancer, but more importantly she has gained confidence in herself and her ability to be on stage with grace, power, and presence.

This beats all of the gym-based "dance" classes I have ever taken. Drop-ins and varied levels of membership are available so it fits every schedule. (They offer private lessons, as well.) The community is second to none. I get a workout in, listen to great music and enjoy celebrating special occasions with a growing group of friends I'd never have otherwise met. We all work to create space in our schedules to come - it's worth it! The director, Ernesto, is an extraordinary teacher and pours so much training and encouragement into all the dancers.

Group classes are held for the International Latin style dances, and individual programs (private lessons, dancesport preparation, wedding lessons) may be tailored for one's dance goals. I could not be happier with my experiences with and at GS Ballroom! The studio stands out for a number of notable reasons. The opulent decor, comfortable lounge and preparation areas, and the large dance floor are equal in magnitude and dignity to the dance and instructional talents of Shorena, Gocha, and all faculty members, all of whom showcase their extensive, internationally renowned and highly decorated careers in the global dancesport community. With their own roots and life-journeys in traditional dance schools and competitive ballroom dance, Shorena and Gocha have brought the elegance and fire of dancesport to Dallas, Texas. While a number of starts and stops have punctuated my own dance journey, I have been a competitive ballroom dancer for over two decades, and as a new-to-Dallas transplant, my heart and feet are perfectly elated to have found this high-carat gem, and certainly moreover to know both are where they belong, GS Ballroom.

It cost $50. Wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but when the instructions said to dress comfy, and that you didn't need a partner I assumed we would be dancing by ourselves. Wrong. You switch partners every so often so you end up dancing with every male in the class, and some of the females. I haven't been to a dance club in a decade, and I'm pretty sure what I was doing back then was not dancing, and I've never attempted any type of swing. I definitely stumbled over my feet a dozen or so times, or only stepped two steps when we were doing a triple step. The way they break down each step is helpful. You watch the 2 instructors, and then practice a few times with your assigned partner for the minute. Then you start from the beginning, and by the end of the class you have a fun routine. The leaders (usually the guys) could improvise a little too. Maybe twist you around a few more times or what not. The room was hot on one side, but they had fans to help circulate the air. There were probably 40 people in the class, so it's not a time to be shy. Overall, this was a great way to burn some calories while doing something out of the norm. Even though I felt like an idiot at times, you have to start somewhere, and no one is there to judge. I'm looking forward to next Monday!
