They also have three fun social events a month: a dance party, a non-dance activity (e.g. karaoke, indoor rock climbing, or go-karts), and Rueda in the Park (a group dance in Memorial Park). The Director, Ally, has created a warm, friendly atmosphere. I remember once, in my early days at the studio, going out the door after a group lesson when I heard her shout "no one leaves without a hug." I turned around, went back in, and got my hug. Dance Salsa Jax is a nonprofit that rents space at two studios. They teach the most common Latin dances, Salsa (Sunday afternoons in Avondale) and Bachata (Wednesday evenings on Old St. Augustine Rd.). Ally also offers reasonably-priced private lessons. I'm glad I found this place, my home dance studio.

Yesterday I was off work and went to dance with my daughter to observe the class. The staff here do an excellent job at keeping the students engaged and teaching them dance; and the importance of discipline that they will hopefully carry over to other parts of their lives.

My 5 year old started in the beginners combo dance class and didn't care for it as much as we all hoped she would. In turn, the studio was very understanding and accommodating. They let her try some different dance and gymnastics classes to see if they'd be a better fit so we didn't have to cancel our membership. My daughter ended up loving Ms. Diana's gymnastics class and has stuck with it for the rest of the season. It's nice to know that the studio is aware of the difference in teaching styles of each of their instructors and is able to suggest which classes may be a better fit for each child depending on their learning styles and personality types!
