We had our wedding here and it couldn't have gone any better! We came straight from our church and everything was decorated beautifully. The staff were amazing through out the entire night and even joined in with us when we brought them in. Michael was super helpful the entire process leading up to the day. They made the day super stress free. read more

Fun dance class! Great atmosphere & friendly staff! Highly recommend taking a class. Parking available on site read more

Pretty cool wanted to know how to dance but pretty much I was to sore and just left Everyone was very friendly and pretty outgoing I would love to come in more but sadly my schedule doesn't allow me read more

This review is long overdue! Looking for a place to de-stress after a long day at the office?.......or, maybe you're looking to get in a bit of cardio......or, maybe you're just looking to learn some hip dance moves........if that sounds appealing, then RF Dance is the place to be! The teaching staff is amazing.....each of them brings a passion for a favorite specific dance genre.....be it salsa, cumbia, or the sensual bachata. (And there's even a Banda class on Fridays) Dancers of all levels will find a niche at RF. And the entire community.....Mike, the RF instructors, the front check in staff, security in the parking lot staff, and most importantly, the fellow students/dancers are so welcoming. Try it.....and don't be surprised if you find yourself hooked! I cannot recommend them enough......100 stars to Mike and his team of rockstar instructors.........Team RF Dance for the win! read more

My daughter was very shy at first, but they have taught her how to be confident and she loves coming to dance because they make it very comfortable and fun for them to learn. Everyone is very nice from the moment you walk in. I'm extremely happy my mom found this dance class for my little one I couldn't have asked for another place but here. They go out of their way to help the parents and kids on everything. I'd highly suggest for anyone with kids or even yourself to join. read more

If you always wanted to learn bachata, check out this studio. Very beginner friendly and much more attention than learning in a social setting. Instructors are knowledgeable and they do offer good feedback for the students. You get to see regulars come every week and will likely meet nice people! They have a bunch of basics and foundational classes for newbies. Check them out if you don't want to drive out to LA and want a studio that has similarly interested students learning more about latin dance forms. read more

The accommodation and service we received was great! Friendly customer service! We did the Banda class.

I've only been part of RF for a little over a month. And it has been one of the best experiences and decisions I've made. I've never been a dancer or even thought about dancing but the community here is so welcoming there is no way you cannot stay. All the teachers are very knowledgeable and supportive of one's journey on becoming proficient at dancing. Currently taking Cumbia and Fitness classes and both are exceptional! I would definitely recommend anyone that is wanting to learn to come here and see for yourself. Thank you RF Dance for being so accepting and treating everyone like family! read more

My journey with RF dance studio began earlier this year. I had been in search of a new dance studio after ending my lessons at a ballroom dance studio. I was in search of a similar setting, but also aimed to save money. Through group on I had bought passes and tried several classes with various Social Salsa and Bachata groups with out the quality that i was looking for, they all taught combos and broke down the steps primarily focused on the leads role. I felt as a fallow we were there just as learning tools for the leads which was very disappointing. There is so much more to being a follow, and so much more to dancing then just learning the steps. RF was next on my list, I had been following them and a friend invited me to a social dance at the studio. I met Mike for the first time, was a great host, extremely welcoming and friendly. He invited me back to the studio with a complimentary pass for a fee trial class. My first day I arrived to observe a class so i could watch and get a feel for the studios tone. What caught my eye was Mike's attention to detail! His perfectionism during a fundamentals class, in addition to his explanation of body mechanics, body alignment, posture, turn out, hip rotation etc. He saw his students as individual dancers! During group class The combos were broken down for the leads as well as the follows! The spoke about tension, connection.... where is the lead taking you you and how to follow the lead properly. The emphasis and importance of a follow keeping her frame. Finally, my search was over! An affordable studio that upheld quality and professionalism starting with the owner and transcending throughout all the instructors. I have met great people and amazing dancers at all levels. Such great vibes here that my 13 and 15 yr old started taking classes drawn in by Kike's cumbia class, branching out to Geraldo's bachata shines class... and now venturing into salsa. My daughter is super excited to try Amelia's Salsa on2 heals class, which I love! Thank you RF Dance and instructor's I could not have found a better studio to grow as a dancer, while sharing my love of dance with my children. read more

I have been a member of the RF dance community for two years. If you are looking to learn how to dance and/or improve your dancing, RF is the perfect place for you. Learning how to dance can often feel intimidating and frustrating, but at RF, the instructors really work hard to make you feel welcomed, included, and are extremely patient to help in your dance journey. It really makes a difference when the environment feels "right". At RF you'll find friendly staff, nice fellow student dancers, and a large studio with ample space to stretch and move. This dance company offers the best deal for your money $$$. You can sign-up for a very comfortable monthly membership and have access to all the classes. They offer bachata, salsa, cumbia, shines, and heels classes throughout the week. With so many options, you'll find the perfect class to match your busy schedule. I pay attention at the way instructors teach, and I can honestly say, RF has some of the best dance instructors in SoCal. Instructors are carefully selected and are experienced as shown by their attention to students, the way they ask for feedback, and the way they answer questions. They are receptive to any question, for them really, no question is too small and I really appreciate how approachable they are. If you are up for a challenge, I recommend you join their dance teams. My wife and I have joined their bachata and salsa teams and we loved the experience. We learned to improve our dancing, developed the courage to perform on stage, and also built community with our team members. This has been an extremely rewarding experience that I recommend everyone to try at least once. RF dance directors are patient, professional, motivating, and committed to their dance teams. And don't get me started at how fun it is to party together at festivals, fun, fun, fun! Please say hi if you see me at the studio! Tips: Follow RF on social media, follow their newsletters, and visit their website! read more

I think if there was something more than five stars this place deserves it They have great instructors who know what they're doing and above. I see TVs with high quality video production of past events and people having a good time IN THE STUDIO. What separates this place from other studios is the amount of drills and exercises you do to form the best technique possible. Most places kind of just steam roll the routine in the beginners classes and never really go into detail of how to properly do the steps. It's a friendly environment where staff and members also make you feel welcome. I see everyone getting along and enjoying the classes together. Personally I've been to other places that I wouldn't say are bad, but they mainly focus on signing you up and making you feel good to keep coming back. Again it isn't bad, but if you're a lead and you go social dancing and don't know how to properly lead then you're most likely going to feel annoyed that you invested a lot of time learning improper form. Also I've been to some places where you pay to be intermediate when you're not intermediate and still let you in which ends up making you feel you've learned everything correctly when you really haven't. With this place I've cleaned up a lot of bad from which has definitely made a difference going out when you're not being told what to do in a class environment. I don't feel like I look so robotic and stiff with the new habits I've been forming, but I know that I can still improve with more practice in the classes they offer. It's easy to see the schedule of what's going on for the day because they use a website that shows the schedule each day. At the moment I'm writing this review I've always seen multiple classes going on at the same time. So you can choose an introduction class or an intermediate class. I've found the introduction classes can still also be as challenging as the intermediate as well, but not intimidating where you feel like the instructor isn't paying attention to you. Which is what I find key because again like I said earlier a lot of other places tend to see you doing steps incorrectly and just let you form bad habits because they want you to feel good being there more then do the steps correctly. For me I personally like the Cumbia class the most HANDS DOWN! I wish they had more days of Cumbia because that is what caught my eye about this place. The instructor Enrique brings a fun and energetic environment to the class. I don't know how he keeps going because he's always counting the steps, always vocalizing what's going on, and keeps going even when he's obviously out of breath. For me my apple watch shows that I burn the most amount of calories in that class over all the other classes. So if you also want to have a good workout the Cumbia class will definitely challenge your cardiovascular endurance. read more

Where do I even start! I started coming to RF about 2 years ago and I've been here ever since. I joined the teams and I can't see myself going anywhere else. Mike truly pours his heart and soul into RF feeling like a place you love coming to for your dance classes and just to the dance community in general. read more

Excellent Dance Studio, I have been dancing at RF for the last couple of months I came here to learn Bachata and to find a community of dancers that were passionate and motivated to achieve greatness, RF delivered. One of the main things i like about RF is that the classes are structured so that they skills you learn build on top of each other. The instructors here are friendly and passionate. 10/10 would recommend. read more

If you are wanting to learn bachata cumbia or salsa this is the place to go. No dance experience needed. The instructors are very knowledgeable and no matter what level you fall into you will most definitely master whatever style of dance you choose. Highly recommend! read more

The best teachers in a great studio! Great healthy environment for learning Salsa Bachata and other dances! You can't go wrong at RF Dance! 5 stars! read more

So, you want to look good on the dance floor but you have two left feet? No problem. RF Dance is the place to be. Just a beginner? RF has you covered. There are multiple levels of classes from absolute beginner to master classes. Everyone starts at the beginning and you will feel welcome and encouraged to take risks regardless of your skill set. No partner? No problem. Classes are filled with students, just like you. You will rotate partners throughout the class which is even better as you will learn to dance with partners at various skill levels. Busy Schedule? Not an issue. There are multiple classes, at various times, on multiple evenings. Not sure Want to try various styles? The lineup, at RF, currently includes bachata, salsa, cumbia, heels and more. Interested in other styles? Just ask. Want some variety? You've come to the right place. RF brings in instructors from outside OC on a regular basis. RF has recently had workshops by @ataca_official, @sammstroud and @airbryon and they even brought in dj @iamrelleo for a social dance. Want a sense of community? We have gathered for picnics, gone to the beach, traveled to dance congresses... and just plain gone out to eat tacos. What is my favorite aspect? They have performance classes/performance teams. In addition to performing at local night clubs, we will perform at Reno Latin Dance Festival, Los Angeles Salsa Bachata Festival and more. I've taken classes, at many places, over a number of years. But, it is at RF that I have really grown in confidence, style, musicality and technique...things I would not have picked up nearly as much at a 45-minute class in a noisy night club. I am still learning. Still growing. And, I'm loving every minute of it at as part of Team RF. read more

It took me a long time to find a place where I can learn the fundamentals and basic steps to enjoy dancing bachata and salsa. I love to go social dancing every weekend but some time ago I wasn't able to lead girls on the right way. After been consistent with all my lessons I am enjoying of new dance skills. I highly recommend the membership since you can take multiple classes for a great deal. If you get more lessons you learn more steps and your confidence increase. Often we go out to social dancing and I am able to put the techniques in to practice while I have fun with quality people. Thank you to my teachers Michael Zuniga, Geraldo Velazquez, Leslie Castellanos, Enrique Cruz and Amelia & Omar Muñoz. read more

Hi, I've been an RF Dance member for ten years, and trust me when I tell you, it will change your life. Mike Zuniga has spent over a decade building an incredible dance community at RF Dance that feels pleasant and fun. I highly recommend taking the group classes for plenty of reasons: you will ALWAYS learn something new, the instructors and supporting team are welcoming and friendly, you learn the correct technique, dance tips, body movement, coordination, etc., and there are class levels & styles for everyone! You can also meet some of the most genuine and fantastic people here. read more

I have been with RF for many years, it is my happy place. I have built confidence & learnt to appreciate & understand the art of dance through mike Zuniga & his amazing team of instructors. So if dancing is ur passion or just want to dance for fun come on by & a whole new world will open up to u. read more

I went for only a month and spoke directly with the owner mentioning that it was too far from where I lived and that I needed to cancel the membership. I expressed my feelings, and both the assistant and owner were present when I said I need to cancel my membership with them. They proceeded to continue charging me for 4 months and they haven't responded or refunded me. read more

I like the environment, everyone is friendly and amazing. Leslie is my favorite instructor. I took private lessons with her and I like how observant she was. Leslie immediately knew how to fix my foot work and frame. read more

If you are like me, then perhaps that's why you're sitting here reading all the reviews. You're trying to get a feel for what this place is like and if it may be the right fit for you, am I right? Well let me save you some time and just sign up already. At least check it out once before you make any kind of decision. What have you got to lose? Your first class is free! I've been coming to Rf for exactly a year now. I initially came on a whim not knowing at all what I was getting myself into. I had just gotten out of a 7 year long relationship, and quite frankly I didn't know what to do with myself. It had been years since I invested my time In doing something for just me. I felt like my life was falling apart and needed something to just get me up and out of bed and feel good about myself again. Without getting into more details long story short this placed changed my life not only when I most needed a positive change but also when I least expected it. I was just looking for an extra curricular activity to get me out of this funk I was in at the time and boy let me tell you, I was now motivated, inspired, smiling again, and actually looking forward to going to class once a week when I first started. Now I go regularly about 3-4 times a week trying out the different classes they had to offer and even found myself joining their performance team after a few months of attending Rythmic Fusion. I can probably go on and on but just take my suggestion and try it out. You will not regret it. Group classes are soo much fun, instructors are very professional and not to mention awesome! I came with no Bachata or Salsa experience whatsoever and now I'm on their Bachata 1 performance team! What!! Don't hesitate any longer. Quit reading my review and just sign up already. You won't regret it and it may even change your life like it has mine! read more

Great place to learn Bachata, at all levels. I just started 3 months ago, the instructors are all professional and friendly and fun. Best price in Orange County, super positive dance community. read more

I auditioned for RhythmicFUSION Dance directed by Mike Zuniga for the spring 2016 season, I was extremely nervous about going into a new place where I didn't know anyone, but I was pleasantly surprised at how welcoming and kind everyone on the team was. It definitely was one of the deciding factors that made me want to continue to learn and stay with RF Dance in addition to their amazing performance teams, and work ethic. For me its totally worth the drive from Montebello to Costa Mesa, and I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything. I only had a few months of experience dancing bachata when I decided to join RF , but I was able to learn so much by participating on the team, taking monthly workshops offered, as well as weekly classes, and private lessons. You really can't beat the prices Mike offers to be a part of the team with all that is included. I have grown tremendously as a social dancer and a performer, being able to perform at main festivals to small clubs and having all your hard work pay off is a gratifying feeling. I also went from dreading social dancing and hiding to loving it and being confident enough in my dancing to ask others to dance. I decided to enter L.A.'s top bachata social dancer competition for amateurs at The Granada this past year , where I was a finalist in the competition. This was one of the highlights of my year and was a great accomplishment for me; I can't wait to do it all again. I definitely attribute my success as a social dancer to Mike Zuniga , who helped me establish stronger technique, and helped me break some bad dance habits, along with his dance partner Jennifer Silvas. Mike has a great teaching style, where he is able to explain and break movements and steps down for his dancers in a relatable way without putting them down. He has a great eye for detail and knows what each dancer needs to improve. Since I've trained with his team I have received compliments from other dancers on my ability to follow and how it has improved in the past 6 months. I'm constantly learning and improving my skills as a salsa and bachata dancer by being on his team, and I highly encourage anyone interested in learning, to come check out the classes he offers and eventually try out for the team; there are different levels, and something for everyone. As soon as you come, you'll want to keep coming back for more. I feel so honored to be a part of this amazing dance team and family. =) Weekly Classes Mondays: 8:00 pm Bachata - Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels Wednesdays: 8:00 pm Salsa - Beginner, Intermediate/Open Levels RF Dance has also recently acquired other talented directors, such as Jennifer Silvas, Jessica Trujillo, and Edward Zambrano who are known professionally for their salsa and bachata dancing among other styles and have performed in countless venues and dance competitions. read more

If you haven't experienced the RF dance culture yet, get down there and treat yourself. No parter needed with plenty of people to meet and a welcoming crowd if you are beginning. The studio is alway clean and the floor is great for dancing. The membership offers a lot because you get classes plus a training team and a monthly workshop included!! read more

I started to take salsa group classes more than a year ago, but couldn't see a noticeable improvement only after I started taking private classes with Mike. The improvement was dramatic and everyone started noticing my dancing skills after few classes only. After about 10 classes, the compliments that I started to get where overwhelming. My technique, my movement, and my styling are much better now thanks to Mike. Mike pays attention to your movement and focus on your weaknesses to improve them. His class is very well structured and also fun to attend. Will definitely recommend Mike for Salsa private classes. You will realize the return on your investment very shortly with the satisfaction you're getting from improving your dancing skills in such a short period of time. read more

Ladies, this is a great workout! Mike and his dancers really show you the techniques and break the dance down for you. I've been only dancing for a few weeks and find that he's great with beginners and can easily guide you to be more confident in the steps. The classes are broken down and really are in a fun and safe atmosphere. I highly recommend Mike and his team to build your confidence in the dance floor. read more

This crew is made up of some amazing people who know how to make each class fun for everyone. I take Enrique's Beginner's Bachata class on Mondays with my girlfriend and we both love it. We learn something new during every class. I'm not a natural dancer, and he breaks down the combination so well even I can follow. I highly recommend you give them a try and see for yourself how fun Bachata can be. read more

My experience with RF Dance has been amazing. I have been with RF for 3 years now and I have grown a lot as a dancer and performer. I have also met many great people that I now consider life friends. rhythmicFusion is a great space to express yourself and enjoy your passion/hobby with other hardworking and fun people. I recommend new people to at least check out their Monday 8pm bachata classes or their Wednesday 8pm salsa classes. If you don't know how to dance that is ok, Mike Zuniga and his instructors are all talented dancers with many years of experience and they will help you grow! read more

Best and favorite dance team in orange county! I started taking their bachata classes in early 2014 and later joined their performance team. It's a great experience and the environment is very welcoming and pleasant. No partner necessary read more

If you want to learn Bachata with the best, you must take classes and workshops with Mike Zuñiga and his team, RhythmicFusion. I take private classes with Mike and absolutely LOVE it! Mike is an amazing, gifted dancer and choreographer, and his Bachata skills are amazing. He is also a fantastic teacher, a consummate professional, and truly one of the nicest people I've ever known. If you can afford private classes, I cannot recommend him more highly!! He is incredible! His team, RhythmicFusion is a gifted group of Bachata dancers who are also excellent teachers of their craft. They friendly, welcoming and eager to teach you. Their passion for Bachata is infectious. I really loved the 4-hour workshop I recently took with Mike and RhythmicFusion. The workshop was very well organized, all-inclusive, and was divided into Beginners and Intermediates. The moves and choreography we learned were a lot of fun, sexy, and technically challenging enough to keep even those of us with some Bachata experience on our toes (no pun intended.) The offered a 50% discount for the next workshop, and I eagerly signed up. I would have signed up for the next one even for the full price, since the fee for the workshop is VERY affordable. read more

This is a great all-ages place to learn how to dance and socialize! The socials on Tuesdays are AWESOME and they play some great music! (not just the regular 3 bachata bands that you hear at some other places) It's a great atmosphere and a lot of fun to hang out. They offer $10 lessons at 9pm and they're always really helpful. I've learned a lot from Mike, Serena, and Tanya over the past 8 months that I've been going. Parking is good. There's free parking in the front and additional parking in the back or across the street at the bank. The only thing I might change would be the cheesy green lasers that flash on the floor. The floor is also a little slippery, so make sure you bring a shoe brush! read more

I just joined RF dance company and I absolutely love it the classes are fun and you learn a lot! Being on the team is the most exciting and we have amazing teachers! read more

I have worked with mike zuniga off & on for about 3 yrs. Sometimes when i feel a little down I make my way to the studio & after our session I leave feeling I can conquer the world, he has that affect. He has built my confidence & he's making me the kind of dancer I wanna be. This is my 1st year being in RFDANCE co.& I'm loving it, it has a warm family vibe. All the directors are amazing, everyone is given a chance, I know, because I sucked at auditions & I was still accepted.. My goal is to b better then my best & to make mike proud. If u wanna b the best u have to work with best. Trust me....your life will change, you will eat , sleep & live dance.. Zuniga style read more

I'm taking privates with Mike, I'm really enjoying the way he is addressing the areas i need help with. The way he explains the steps or moves to me in detail helps me to understand how the move should be performed. Mike is very down to earth and makes learning fun and makes you feel comfortable without pressure or stress on trying to learn something that is unfamiliar to you. If you want to become a better dancer or you have problem areas you want to address, I strongly recommend learning from Mike Zuniga! read more
