I did some classes with a specific niche dance teacher who isn't a "regular" teacher at this studio…read morebut instead paid to use the space. This review isn't about the teacher but about everything else. So if you're thinking about using them for your own rental (or booking for photo shoots like their site mentions), this review is for you. Every time I was there one of the two owners would sit and watch the majority of the class with their pet dog that would lounge on the furniture at the front or in their retail area. It's really inappropriate and distracting. One time someone stepped in dog crap inside and tracked it around the front seating area. Just... ew. Gross. Do these ladies bring their pets when they teach or is it only when someone else pays to use the space? One of the owners micromanaged the sound level the whole time she was there. Mind you, the speaker never popped or crackled or hit a level to worry about damaging it, nor were the neighboring businesses open to complain... I'm still laughing about it because their site boasts that they have quality sound but then don't want to let you use it. And then the chiming in when she had no business because it wasn't her class. If I wanted a boomer's opinion about something I would call my mom. From a student's perspective, this is objectively a nice studio space... If the floors didn't have a hump in one section, a ton of windows with no curtain thus blinding half the room perfectly with reflections from the sun, and a lingering buzzkill while you're trying to enjoy a class. I understand they're probably paranoid about their merchandise growing legs and walking off, but is there nothing they could do in a back corner to not feel like they're being a spectator? The decoration is cute, they have rotating artists set up their work, and this place has a lot of potential to be great. But either they need to have a system to trust the person teaching and give them a spare key (there's interior cameras...) or they need to figure out better customer service skills. It's like the boomeriest boomer that ever boomed opened up a business so they had something to do with their time. I wish these two the best of luck with their other classes and hope my experiences are unique to the times I was there.

After a false start at another studio where I didn't feel appreciated, I found Jane and Fritzi (RIP) who immediately let me know I was in a place where the love of dance was paramount and that "NO PRESSURE" was their modus operandi. Jane makes sure that fees are affordable and that every class is filled with substance and laughter. I'm looking forward to many more spins around their new expanded dance floor!

I set out on a journey to learn Salsa exactly 2 years ago…read more My first lesson learned: If you want to learn salsa, you have to go to a salsa school. Don't go to a ballroom dancing studio to learn salsa. It's not real salsa, and they'll pressure you pretty hard to learn ballroom even though you just want to learn salsa. Ballroom studios will try to get hundreds of dollars from you for a couple of weeks of lessons. You should never pay more than $15 for a group class from a salsa school. With groupons, introductory classes are about $8 or less per class. Two months later and $600 burnt, I luckily find Salsa Caliente. Erika and her staff jump start the beginner class by teaching dancing technique. First we learn about "tension" which in my opinion is the most important lesson in Salsa. Tension is the foundation of lead and follow technique. With it, you can lead the follower through a salsa pattern without her knowing the pattern. It also help you conserve energy so you can dance longer. For example, instead of stepping out a turn, you can use the rubber band effect from each other's arms to sling shot you around super fast. Using tension, you can do this turn all day long. If you stepped the turn out, you'd be tired in about 5 turns. Next we learn the NY Salsa standard patterns and shines. I never knew how exceptional their teaching and expertise was until I went to my first Salsa Congress in Orlando last summer. A congress is a dance convention where all the serious and expert dancers gather. With my dance foundation from Salsa Caliente, I was able to learn the advanced partner and shine routines faster than most people in the Congress Workshops, because their routines were built by chaining up Salsa Caliente standard patterns and shines. In one of the workshops with about 40 intermediate/advanced dancers, the instructor asked us to do a "basic" (the standard steps for salsa). He immediately pointed to me and said I was the only one doing it correctly. Why? Because Erika teaches us that we should be moving back and forth with a smooth walking motion, and not a "step step STOP, step step STOP" motion. Is this a gauge of how great Salsa Caliente is? In my opinion it is. Am I a great dancer? No, but I'm probably as good as I can be. Am I good enough to show most girls in my arms a great time while dancing? HECK YEAAAAA !!!!!!! That's why I give Salsa Caliente 5 Stars :-)

During my visits to my in laws for the holidays, I frequent the local Ymca. While I was working out…read morethere, attempting to do some Ashthanga (a method of yoga that requires a lot of core and upper body strength, things I'm lacking!) an attractive obviously fit young lady approached me and asked me if I was working on Ashtanga. Her name is Miranda and after chit chatting with her for several minutes, I learned that she taught at a local yoga studio up the road. She informed me that the studio offered Mysore Ashtanga as well as other forms of yoga. I figured that was an invitation to go check it out. The building is located in a strip of shops and I went on a Sunday morning so there was ample parking. I walked in a few minutes prior to class and was greeted by Miranda who checked me in. As I was waiting for class to begin, she showed me where the bathrooms and "community mats" were located as well as areas to store your things. (There were no lockers, but the studio is locked while class is in session. Also, they don't charge a rental fee for the community mats.) There's a small coffee table with magazines and couches for you to wait and if you don't want to wait in the studio. The bathroom is clean and has one shower. The studio itself is spacious and is equipped with bolsters and blocks. There is a large mirror to the left side as you walk in so you can check out your form (or those yogis and yoginis with nice derrieres without being too obvious!) I attended an "Ashtanga fusion" class with Miranda which was a combination Vinyasa class with several traditional Ashtanga moves mixed in throughout the session. The class was a good work out, yet all levels of practitioners could adjust and modify poses as needed. It cost me $10 for drop in rate. If you want to do a traditional Ashtanga or Mysore class (which they offer almost every morning, but not Sundays), the drop in rate is $15. They take cash or credit cards. There are also items from Nepal for sale such as mala bracelets and necklaces. They have their schedule as well as a description of the classes and instructor bios online. You can schedule classes through the Mind and Body app or just show up and register there. Thank you Miranda for introducing yourself and for leading a much needed session! It's too bad I met your towards the end of my vacation. Definitely check out The Yoga Room if you're into Ashtanga and even if you're not, check it out anyway if you like yoga or if "you're not into yoga" as the song goes, then hit Clearwater Beach. It's not too far down the road.
