A community asset!

I had visions of stepping on women's feet and just being overall embarrassing. Kind of like the pudgy kid in dodgeball that always gets picked last. On the first night I considered taking a shot of tequila. Or just bailing on the whole thing.. I ended up going, and skipping the shot. I figured perhaps stepping out of my comfort zone would be good, and I could always stop going next week. So, I went to bachata class. And actually leaned the basic moves. And everyone was friendly! I even came back for more.. And signed up for another class :) The environment is clean and professional, the instructors are great and everyone gets individual attention. All the other people in the class were super friendly - males, females, experienced, and newbies. The lessons are very affordable. I also found that by practicing the basic bachata moves I leaned here, I was able to seriously improve my other dance moves in the club.. Hiphop, cumbia, etc. The class is great, the other students are great, and it built a good amount of confidence to actually figure some moves out. Cant recommend it enough, Id take more than one class at a time if only there were more hours in the day.

I am so honored to be the first person to review Salsa Con Rumba!…read more Let me be the first to say that Salsa Con Rumba (heretofore called "SCR") is a high quality latin dance school in the Tri-Cities! The owners, Dana and Christian, care passionately about latin dance, teaching, running a respectable and quality school, providing a service to the community, and advancing the knowledge and skill level of their students. I am so happy I am a small part of this outstanding school. SCR offers regular classes, specialty workshops taught by D&C, specialty workshops taught by guest teachers from Yakima and Spokane, Zumba, and they host 4 dance parties a year at their studio (sanz alcohol) and they coordinate carpools to Yakima when there are special dance parties such as live bands or cool DJs, usually at The Seasons. The studio is available to rent for practice and for dance-related parties. Inside the school is a shop. The majority of the shop is dance shoes like Capezio and other brands I can't remember. There is a very tiny amount of dance attire -- think performance and competition dresses. Also, D&C used to go to Islands Casino on Saturday nights and made themselves available for questions, review and critique. Now, I believe they are starting a new shindig at Richland Red Lion with a live band and DJ alternating on Friday nights. If I am wrong about this, I will update. :-) All of the classes, workshops, and parties are priced individually; Some are part of the regular calendar, and others are offered short-term only. D&C keep it fresh and fun! The standard salsa class is LA Salsa On1 (we take this class) and the newest salsa class is Beginning Cuban Salsa. We took a specialty workshop in Bachata and that was a big hit! Over 30 people packed the studio and we had a ball and worked hard. They started a new performance class and I really want to join that one! D&C fill their schedules with amazing offerings and are incredibly knowledgable. I will say that Dana tends to be more serious while Christian keeps us laughing and they both remind the guys and girls separately of what our jobs are in the dance partnership. They make a team, and I always learn from both of them. Come join us and dance with us! Learn a new style, advance a style you already know, and make new friends. :-)

Finally I got someone on the phone, not only was this lady extremely rude she didn't even know what she was talking about. When asking questions about what time auditions were and how much everything cost she got an attitude with me and handed over the phone to the owner and in the background you could hear her talking and saying "hear this girl wants to know prices and times and I don't have time to talk to her." that was a bit of a shock to hear. Once I auditioned and paid $30 for 30 minutes which is way overpriced I was told I would get an email on the following Monday letting me know if I made the team or not. As Monday rolled around there was still no email. Tuesday I get a phone call from that same rude receptionist lady saying she just got my message from a WEEK ago asking when auditions were, I had told her I already tried out and her response was "oh that's probably not going to happen for you this year" which was a really rude way to put it. After that she kept on talking about the studio and kept calling me the wrong name after I corrected her 6 times. She had said that I had never danced before and I told her I have had a dance background she suggested "beginner" classes because once again she didn't listen when I told her I had danced before. This is no way to run a business and I would not recommend this studio. All they do is take your money and are rude. Not to mention they don't even do real tryouts. They teach you a dance and say ok we'll email you but they never do. Their just trying to make some money.

I recently asked to start a temporary membership even though I'll only be in the Tri-Cities for a short time due to a family emergency. Kudos to the business owner, Carrie; she was kind, responsive, and accommodating for my short-term membership needs. For three weeks, the Zumba, yoga, and strengthening group exercise classes I was able to attend provided me with a great outlet to rejuvenate and strengthen my body, calm my mind, and de-stress. When I used to live in the Tri-Cities, I was a member of this gym, and I can say that my membership here helped me to stay active and fit for my wedding. The staff is friendly, and there are a variety of classes to get you started on whatever goals you have set for yourself. The management is open to your input on how to make the gym/fitness classes work for you. FitforMe also organizes fundraising, social activities, and benefit events; their commitment to be a positive presence in their community is a big plus.

The instructors are experienced and make it fun while also making it challenging and often providing alternate moves for beginners. Each class seems to have at least one regular participant who offers help to newbies in getting set up for class, which is helpful because different classes use different items. They have a wide range of exercise equipment that you can use on your own, but I haven't tried any of them yet. I wish I lived closer so I could go in more often. Great place. I recommend it.
