We came to Vault because Jerrica promised to do the solos for my two granddaughters. I guess that…read morewas just to get us to sign up, Jerrica did one or two lessons and then passed them off to underlings. Bait and Switch. The quality and timing (cancellations) of solo practices resulted in us getting them additional outside training. Website home page still has last year's info and links from two years ago. Last minute cancellations and venue changes, with us coming to studio needlessly multiple times. At first performance, while sitting there peacefully waiting for the dances to start, Vault photographer shows up at last minute and wants the space I'm saving for my daughter. I tell her no. She moves our stuff and takes it anyway. Jerrica told my granddaughter she could be in HipHop. Granddaughter was all excited. Then when my granddaughter showed up to practice, Jerrica said she changed her mind. Though first Jerrica said she never said ok, but later admitted it. Granddaughter was very disappointed. Now the season is almost over and we still don't have the jacket we paid for a long time ago. Jerrica said she has it. She's just not ready to give it me. Forget resolving any issues that arise, Jerrica unwilling to address or followup. Jerrica will just say it never happened. It appears, if you add a class it costs more, but if you drop a class you are told it's part of the program and no refund. Update: My granddaughters were dismissed from studio due to this review. How were they informed? By their teammates. How were we informed? By my granddaughters.

Studio has been an outstanding experience for me from the day I began instruction there. IMHO ALL…read morethe instructors are talented, patient, and genuinely invested in helping each student grow, regardless of experience level and work together to achieve that goal. The atmosphere is welcoming, encouraging, and fun, making every lesson something to look forward to. The studio does an excellent job of balancing professional instruction with a friendly personal feel. Each student is seen and treated as an individual and their curriculum planned accordingly. I've gained confidence, learned, improved my coordination and balance and met wonderful people that I thoroughly enjoy. I highly recommend Fred Astaire Cypress Dance Studio to anyone interested in learning to dance or taking their skills to the next level.

I have so many great things to say about this studio and the people who are a part of it that this…read moreGoogle review would take days to read. So I will do my best to keep it to 10 paragraphs . Tim and Hector are my instructors, and they have been nothing less than pro perfection! Tailoring my lessons to match the goals I want to achieve in dance while keeping it fun at the same time. They don't just teach you steps; they take the time to educate you on the "why" and "how," ensuring you have a strong foundation to help you be your very best at whatever goal you're reaching for. Then there's the rest of the Fred Astaire Cypress team: Elena, the studio manager; Ellie, Magui, Edina, and Barnabas, who are equally as amazing as their counterparts. All of them bring an unbelievable amount of skill and quality of dancing to every student. I guess that's why they are the pros! With that said, it can be so easy to lose that quality, momentum, or high energy with the amount of students they work with one-on-one, the group classes, the long hours to ensure every student receives the same level of time and training, plus their own training they do after hours. The dedication is unmatched. Every single one of them, including Hector and Tim, not once have I seen anyone lose that momentum and energy in the four months I've been coming. You will always walk in to smiling faces, and the instructors are ready, pumped, engaged, and excited to be teaching you. I encourage anyone interested in ballroom to take lessons with this studio. You would be lucky to have any one of these people in your dance journey corner. P.S. All of them have such a good sense of humor, but Ellie, well if you want an especially good laugh she is unmatched. Sorry Tim and Hector

Always so much fun here. Been going for over 10 years. Even though I'm still a horrible dancer…read more But, I still have fun doing it! It's a workout- think partnered Zumba, etc... The first time I attended, years ago -we just stumbled across the show (while we went to eat at the hotel) and bought I think $30/35 tickets to watch the Sunday performances ... then, somehow we won a pair of tickets for the next year. They had it taped under the seats we had for the show...ever since then, I get my guy and kids to go watch the performances during MLK weekends. Best staycations each time! Every year before 2023, the Big Salsa room was awesome with lots of salsa music. This year/ Friday so far...there was a bit too much bachata. There's already a bachata room on 3....why turn the Salsa room into B also? There's of course the Zouk room too. Very nice new instructor that can dance very well...but I do miss seeing Ben & Elena...wish they would one day come back to HSC. They were amazing! And George also. It's not the same without them.

I just realized I had not yet reviewed one of my favorite salsa events in Houston. How could I…read moremanage such thing?! I love the Houston Salsa Congress and have been attending since I moved to Texas about five years ago. The Houston Salsa Congress brings to Houston some of the most prominent salsa dancers from the U.S and abroad. The congress usually takes place on Martin Luther King weekend at U of H. The address above is the one to the Hilton Hotel, which is the preferred hotel for the congress. In 2010 (the congress) will be from the 14-17th of January and: "you better know I already have my ticket!!!! " The shows are wonderful. I enjoy watching these salsa dancers show off their routines, which they have down to an art. The congress has scheduled performances everyday. What's best is that you get to dance with the guest performers! As a salsa lover, I think that's the best way to test your salsa skills. There are workshops that take place during the day. They sell different passes. You can by a full pass for the whole weekend, or just a night pass for the shows and the parties. I usually purchase the latter. I know that attending congresses can get expensive as you have to buy the airline tickets, the congress tickets as well as reserve the hotel. But, since I live in Houston (and hopefully so do you), this is a great way to save money and still get to enjoy such a diverse group of dancers from around the world. Yeah, yeah I know I may sound like I am advertising this, but what else can I do, I love this event!!! (Oops! Almost forgot: one of the mosts important things! This event is sponsored by the Houston Salsa Dancers (a non profit organization), and the proceeds go to cover scholarships for students in need. )
