Our teacher was patient, taught us the steps in a simple way and made minor corrections as needed. It was a great experience!

The space…read moreseems more modern and open, and I really like the small tables and couches throughout the edges of the dance floor. The bathroom also was nicely upgraded, as now there are several stalls as opposed to just one. The staff were very nice checking people in, and the instructors were nice! The large parking lot is very convenient too. Would definitely come back for another dance class in the future

This studio has great dancers. The owner, he needs to communicate with members. I bought a year…read morelong membership and since the pandemic, I received one email in April saying that our membership contracts will be extended. No more emails from the studio. I drove by the physical studio and it's no longer there. No email informing members that the studio closed down. No way to access online classes, I'm not even sure if there are online classes. The website's last COVID -19 update is dated 3/16/2020. I had to find out on YouTube that the physical studio is no longer and all classes are going virtual. Where can I access these classes? The link on the website says "online classes coming soon". I hope the owner reads this and becomes more transparent on all platforms.

To me this isn't the type of place you take lessons for if you are bored and want to try something…read morenew but aren't really planning on committing to it. In that case I would recommend the lessons at Azuca or anywhere else. If you are actually serious about learning how to dance salsa then this is the place you need to go. Semeneya is the best salsa studio in San Antonio and I don't think many would argue against that. Everyone that is in the salsa scene knows about it even if they are ambivalent towards it. The instructors are excellent and are friendly. It is very helpful and efficient that the classes are broken up into levels. I got up to level 3 and felt that the classes really improved my dancing. I think these classes are more important for guys that need to learn how to lead as opposed to girls. I feel like Semeneya does a good job of teaching guys how to be good leads which makes a huge difference while dancing with someone. Once you learn how to be a good follower you mostly just need practice. I like that they changed locations because it was really inconvenient to get all the way to the Northeast side of town where they were before. Semeneya people are like the cool kids of the salsa world so don't expect them to dance with you if you go to their socials or see them out at the salsa clubs. The guys only ask certain girls to dance and I'm sure the girls are the same.

Thank you a million times.

We scheduled our Free lesson which gave us the opportunity to learn basic mechanics and discuss our expectations. This was around COVID-19 approaching so we went forward with lessons. One lesson in and the city was on lockdown. The hubby and I practiced for the most part and when they opened back up there was only two weeks left For the big day. Out Dance instructor Nick was extremely personable and professional. He is amazing at what he does and we learned so much about his broad background. We feel like we gained a friend. The atmosphere at Arthur Murray is super inviting even if you feel like you may not have much experience. Our first dance was a success and it started with pretty much baby steps leading up to the finale. Our guests loved it and went wild during the BIG surprise and actually all the way leading up to. I highly recommend for couples to make an investment whether it be for wedding dance or dance in general. It's a fun activity and your able to tap into abilities that you may never thought that you had. It felt like date night every single lesson! I would do it all over again and actually plan to return maybe when things calm down with COVID.

As a Type 1 diabetic, we truly appreciate how caring, attentive, and well-trained the staff is with students of all ages and needs. As a homeschool family, the studio has given my daughter a beautiful sisterhood and lifelong friendships. Their annual Nutcracker performance is amazing, and their musical theatre productions twice a year provide incredible opportunities. The summer intensives are excellent, with so much learning from guest teachers and faculty. My daughter is especially excited for her role in Don Quixote this summer -- we are so grateful to be part of this wonderful studio

It's taken me a long time to remove my child from this place. What I'm about to share is known by…read moremany but not talked about. My child spent several years training here. There have been issues for a long time but they didn't want to leave their friends and we held out much too long but we finally got out. This is written anonymously because she is vindictive and will try to ruin people. The owner and the head employee here are manipulative and mentally abusive. It is also physically unhealthy because the super thin anorexic look is encouraged. Body shaming and bullying occurs. There is encouragment of low calorie and strict eating to keep the skinny "ballet" look. It is such a toxic environment. A lot of hype is shared about "top school" and competition winners but it's deceiving. The study they keep quoting is based off only schools who compete at YAGP so its not accurate. She has had absolutely no dancers make it professionally as a ballet dancer yet. Not one. All her promising dancers from the past either left or got burned out and stopped dancing. She doesn't even let the dancers attend summer intensive other places unless she approves the choice. She never used to at all but starting losing people over it. So now her favorites are allowed to go to summer intensive somewhere if she approves it. Her current dancers win at the competitions because she basically bribes the judges. And because she brings so many dancers to the competitions they reward her. There is nothing fair about it. If you aren't a favorite you get ignored or even belittled. Daily class time is used for her favorites to work on their competition pieces instead of teaching a typical technique class. Of course a dancer will do well at competition if all they do is work on one or two pieces every day for years. She also can't keep good teachers because she is so hard to work for. The married teacher couple that finally were able to leave had been threatened with losing their work visas. And families are afraid to speak up and ask questions. So are dancers. She and her husband have connections so families are afraid of the backlash. She also threatens people with legal action. Dancers who have left have had to correct bad technique that she taught. So many families know what it is truly like here but won't speak up. The ones actively supporting this place and saying its great are doing so because they want their child to be a star. You'll see reviews posted to counter any negative reviews but that's because she makes people write them. Some are written by her employees or family members. All those news pieces or articles making it look like a great place are paid for and orchestrated by the owners. The kids who choose to stay do so because they are either a favorite, win at competitions or they want to stay for friends or performances. But is it worth the damage it can cause? Please if you want to protect your childs mental, emotional and dance health stay away from here!
