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.

On Friday, we had a a private group lesson with Ballroom Dance Instructor, Antonio Frias. Let me…read moretell you from the moment I arrived, he was soooo awesome! Antonio showed me around the dance studio. It was clean, nicely decorated and I loved the disco balls hanging off the ceiling! The rest of our group joined us and we began our lesson! The first dance Antonio taught us was Bachata! Antonio explained it so well and we had sooo much fun following along! The next dance was Salsa. We started off slow then picked up some speed to go with the music. We took a break because boy! I felt like I had just done cardio LOL Our group took some beautiful pictures by the Christmas Tree. We finished it off with an awesome group dance! My friends and I had an amazing evening and WE CAN NOT wait to return! You are one super cool Ballroom dancer, Antonio!!!

I've wanted to take ballroom lessons for well over 20 years. I have friends that were into…read morecompeting in the 90's that taught me some basic stuff and I've wanted to grow that base ever since to become a skilled graceful dancer. I'm pretty decent, but super out of practice. Hubby on the other hand, grew up in a community straight out of the movie Footloose- ultra conservative Christian with no TV, no music, no dancing. He was permitted to play drums in symphony, but that was the limit of his musical upbringing, and he's NEVER been a dancer. That is changing. My fat ass needs to get back into shape and he needs to improve his cardio function. I HATE going to the gym and dance is my favorite form of exercise, so I purchased an introductory Groupon that includes 3 private lessons 1 group lesson and 1 dance party. We had our first lesson yesterday, and I have to give props to our instructor, Stas, who is also the owner. He sits down with you first to talk about how they run things, what you can expect, and to discover why you're there and what your goals are. He taught us basic dance steps, then taught us the basic merengue and salsa steps with a couple of turns. I was very impressed with his teaching style and look forward to many more lessons - and hope to instill a love of dance in hubby.

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.

The first hour of the class is for beginners and very easy to follow. The second hour is more for beginner to intermediate. There was a healthy mix of male and female ratio for dance partners. By the end of the night you would of danced with everyone; rotate! There were two instructors a male and a female who were very attention to detail and helpful (without being invasive or picky about movements). Overall they both just wanted you to have fun and I did. The studio hosts bi-weekly to monthly socials and there is also a dance club that practices after classes. Overall great place, wonderful parking and affordable. Each class is $10 however, I believe they have packages.

If you want to have a good cardio workout and learn a new choreographed dance sequence ligature could be done for a hip hop video, this place is for you! It's not for beginners but anyone from all dance levels would enjoy this class as long as you are looking for a great workout. Everyone is super friendly and the instructor will happily go over specific dance steps if you ask. It's taught at a wedding venue so you might think you're at the wrong place until you look inside to see some vibe items for sale or one or 2 dancers warming up. Classes are Tues and Thursdays from 730 to 900 but it actually extended past 930 when I left at 930. And classes are $20/class. There are no packaged discounts at this time. I would definitely go again!

This studio does it all! In addition, ballroom dance instruction is given to all ages. Some dancers are from eight to eighty! My individual instructor, Brian Brocato, is the best! Can't believe how much I have learned since I have had him as my instructor! In addition, all of the instructors ... Jake, Heather, Gil, Megan, Rosie (I've probably left someone out ... sorry) are so good at what they do. Another good thing? No partner is needed! So, if you are looking at joining a group of talented instructors and friendly dancers, think about coming to All About Ballroom. I don't think you will be disappointed.
