Doesn't look like much when you drive past - okay, I'm using the canned Yelp message there - and,…read moreif you arrive at night, it's likely that you'll drive right past it. The Palladium is located on a one-way freeway frontage road, so you can't make a U-turn to get there if you pass it up. But it's not one to avoid. The Palladium is not a franchise of a nationwide company named after Arthur Murray or Fred Astaire. It's a local concern, and doesn't offer as much as the other two studios I listed. I've gone to their Latin events, and here's what it looks like: They have in-house instructors, and also bring in people from outside Houston. (I wrote about California's Kathy Reyes in two prior reviews, I hope she's reading this and makes the trip to Houston some time!) They have classes, and they have dance parties. Both are run well, charging market rates. Lots of parking. One medium-sized dance floor, two smaller studios. The bar sells drinks, both alky and non-alky. Restrooms are deep in the bowels of the building, down the hall to the left. The people who come are a good company, and are fixinta learn to dance better and to have fun. The social dance community of Houston is smaller than in other cities, so there's much overlap from one instructor to another, and it's likely that you'll meet someone there who you danced with somewhere else. I haven't met any snobs yet, but you can't assume that they won't be there. I first went to the Palladium for New Years Eve. I've been several times since then. The experience was similar to others I've been to in other cities. I've had a good time, and never drove home thinking "well, that was a waste of a hundred mile drive one-way." Beaumont simply has nothing like The Palladium, likely because few people in the Coonie Triangle are interested in ballroom or Latin dancing. I encourage you to find a class or party and stop on by.

Eduardo is a fun instructor who is patient and encouraging with beginning dancers. He also provides excellent instruction for intermediate and advanced students, helping them continue to improve. His classes are enjoyable and his teaching methods are creative. The studio environment is friendly, and the dancers are welcoming. They have both daytime and evening classes, which is something I appreciate and most other studios do not offer. Dance socials are held multiple times each month, which gives students opportunities to socialize and practice. Dancers from this studio, and others around Houston, meet here on the fourth Saturday of the month for dancing and a little libations (BYOB). There are bachata socials on some Saturdays and Sundays. The socials are a great value, only $10 for entry, and typically about $10 additional if you want to attend the workshop offered just prior to the event. Another thing to look for are their daytime weekend workshops. Some of the past workshops have included instruction in musicality, belly dance, ladies' Latin styling, Afro-Cuban dance, salsa on 2, and west coast swing. Dance Heights has a lot to offer students at every level. If you are interested in learning to dance or would like to improve your dance technique, this is a great place to do it!

City Dance Studio is awesome! My friend found this studio while searching online and we decided to…read moretake ballet classes here last summer. The highlight of the summer was having the opportunity to learn from and dance with Lauren Anderson! I ended up taking dance at UH for the fall semester, so unfortunately I have not been back to dance here. The owner and founder, Sherese Campbell, taught the ballet class we were in. She's inspiring and really makes you want to dance better. The students are awesome, some of them are City Dance Company dancers and they are just as inspiring. Our summer intensive class ranged from teenagers to adults in their 30's-40's. The summer intensive classes are cool because you do (for example) ballet one week and hip-hop another week (for the first 1.5 hours) and then like yoga or tap for the second 1.5 hours. Intensive classes are usually from 9 AM - 3 PM, but I only went from 9 AM - noon and it was $150/week vs. $250/week. Currently don't have time/money to take intensive classes again, but would love to go back soon. It's pretty convenient if you live near Rice/ West U. If you are unsure about anything or have reservations, Sherese is always willing to help and encourage you!
