They've been open for about two years now and I finally made it to one of their socials. The owners, Carlos & Susan, and world-renowned for their Bachata style. They're from the Dominican Republic and we're so lucky to have them so close by. The location was easy to find and thankfully there's parking on site. As soon as you walk in, there's a welcome booth. Tam, who was the staff on site, was super friendly and helpful. They also sell tshirts, shoes and dancewear at the front. The studio is decorated in their signature yellow color which is bright and fun. They had dancers from Spain teach a sensual Bachata workshop before the social and it was super fun. They have free water available and fans set up around the room. The floor is smooth and the music was great. They also had an international DJ in charge of the music that night. It was a very fun night. Raza also had an annual dance festival, which is the only one in our region. I'm looking forward to supporting and seeing what else they have in store for our community!

They even have the younger kids go in as an audience to watch the older ones. The women at the front desk and on the phone couldn't be bothered to listen or address any questions. They me asked every class for money (loudly) despite repeated requests for their online payment center. I had to make no less than 5 phone calls to the owner to finally get it paid. One month before recital, my 3 year old's teacher was fired and the rehearsals fell apart. We would have followed this awesome teacher if she stayed in the area, as she was the only thing that made it bearable. I still receive emails despite repeated attempts to be removed from their mailing list. I do get snarky responses in return to my requests, though!

We got there shortly after they opened and was lucky enough to snag a couple chairs in the shade. After a bit we got in line for some food and it was pretty chaotic. You get in a line, grab what you want, and pay at the register at the end of the line. It was like pulling teeth trying to get the kids chicken tenders meal, which IMO, should be the thing they always keep stocked. Contrary to what other reviews say, there's a good amount of water slides and things to do. My daughter and I had a blast. We only had one long wait in line, which was fine. If we go back to Branson, we will definitely go back.

There's plenty of space to bring tents, umbrellas, chairs, and set up your own little spot to relax.The beach area is large enough for floaties, and I even saw people with small kayaks enjoying the water. The $5 per carload fee is very reasonable, especially since it's good for the entire day. Definitely a great spot for a fun, affordable beach day!

*** Review is during COVID-19 ***…read more Came here earlier in the summer and it was so fun. This is a great spot!!! We wanted to find a swimming hole one day, which I now know can be very difficult to do! After driving around and around to several different spots for hours, where place after place turned out to be unsuccessful or just nonexistent, we were almost ready to give up. Then we remembered one more spot we could try... a swimming hole we'd been to when I was a little kid, with surprisingly clear blue water. We couldn't remember the name at first, but after some calls to my Grandma (always a great resource!) she helped us remember that it was Little Blue! Little Blue was still a bit hard to track down, but we eventually made it there, and had FINALLY found a spot worth staying around for! The water was as pretty as we remembered. In the shallower parts, it's crystal clear and you can see lots of pretty rocks on the bottom and sometimes little fishies too! The deepest part becomes a pretty blue color, and the water went up to at least between my elbows and shoulders (maybe more?). That deepest part isn't a huge area, so a little hard to stake your claim on it if you are trying to social distance, but overall there's plenty of space to spread out. It seemed to me like there were two areas: the area I just described, and then more river down to the left of that. This second area is much less populated, but I can see why, as it kind of quickly starts to get a pretty fishy smell as you go further and also has some animal bones (yeah...). Aside from the water, there's also lots of parking space, where many people had also set up camp (as in literally to camp in a tent for the night). We went on a Saturday (reminder that this was also in the "heat" of summer, no pun intended) so there were quite a few people. However, we were still able to stay a safe distance from others... we did have to be pretty mindful of it though, since others did not appear to be doing the same. I would give 5 stars if it (and other swimming holes in Oklahoma) had better information for people to find and clearer locations/directions!!! It's honestly pretty ridiculous. Also because that second swimming area down to the left could use a little work.

Little Blue is our favorite little hidden gem in the summer time. Beautiful! Fun! Cold! Relaxing!…read moreWe love it!!!
