We love these folks and have even had them come to a private event. Very comfortable, precise education, great music, good times. There are not many businesses left that I can find that are so good hearted, supportive and relatable. Heart centered people and I hope they continue to have a loyal following and new clients to enjoy their sweet vibe. read more

Jackie and Neff are fantastic teachers. Very patient! We were dancing on 4 lessons! I highly recommend Dance Masters in Agoura Hills Ca! read more

Jackie gave us the best dance lessons so we could dance at our daughter's wedding. Considering that we hadn't danced in years, Jackie worked a miracle and got us ready for the parents' dance. I highly recommend this studio! read more

Amazing dance class with Neff. Getting ready for a wedding dance. We have learned so much in just 3 short weeks. Can't wait to hit the dance floor!@ read more

(*not written with any A.I. Tools*) Dance Masters Ballroom is a gold mine! Jackie is a highly-gifted, spiritual, and patient instructor who has been teaching me for a few months. I can honestly say I continue to enjoy dancing even more after every class. The management and staff here are so nice and they really go out of their way to ensure everyone has a great personalized experience and feels comfortable. Thank you, Dance Masters Ballroom (and Jackie) for your dedication to the students! read more

My wife and I were getting ready for our special day and we needed someone to help us learn a dance routine. Jackie made it so easy and fun! My wife isn't usually big on dancing, but Jackie made her feel really comfortable, and she even said she wants to take lessons after our wedding. We highly recommend Dance Master Ballrooms--be sure to book with Jackie. read more

Jackie is truly so talented! We were lucky to be referred to Dance Masters through our wedding planner and met Jackie! My husband and I wanted to do a choreographed dance for our wedding and what Jackie had taught us was exactly what we were looking for! My dad and I also went to Jackie for dance lessons as we wanted to do a non traditional dance as our father daughter dance! Everyone absolutely loved both of our dances and we were so happy with how they both turned out. We highly recommend Jackie if you are wanting to learn any type of dance! She is amazing! read more

See all

Wow! So fun. Just tried two step and cha cha. Janet the teacher really helped me learn. She was patient and encouraging. I'm going to schedule a private lesson with my friend and her. Everyone was so friendly. I highly recommend this studio for all levels. Easy to find and the manager Neff a pleasure to schedule lessons with as he calls and texts which is super convenient. read more

Dance Masters Ballroom - My new ballroom shoe - Dance Studios Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Highly recommend! We decided a bit last minute to add a choreographed first dance to our wedding reception. Neff was the perfect teacher. He choreographed a fun dance that even we could perfect. Our first dance was a huge hit. Make Dance Masters your dance studio choice! read more

Love this place and I highly recommend them. My other half and I came to learn a dance for our wedding and we're working with Neff. He's wonderful, funny, and very patient. He's able to describe the steps in different ways so we are both able to wrap our heads around things and actually have a good time. We look forward to our lessons, so thank you! read more

Just found this small place, very friendly and music is great. Atmosphere warm and easy parking. Music excellent and not too loud. Clean and clientele very courteous. Highly recommend this place. read more

Neff is the best! My parents, my fiancé, and I all came for lessons for our wedding. Neff took us from knowing nothing about ballroom dancing to feeling and looking so confident! Our dances went from being something we were dreading to one of the most exciting and fun things we are looking forward to on the wedding day! read more

Neff is a wonderful teacher and has been very patient and humorous with me. I really have learned to enjoy dancing

We have been taking private lessons at Dance Masters for nearly two years. Neff is a great teacher! He has helped us become more and more confident on the dance floor with dances ranging from the Waltz to the Tango. We look forward to our weekly class knowing we will come away with new steps and technique. We have also enjoyed the group classes (before CV19) which greatly enhanced our ability to put into practice our private lessons. Don & Carolyn Zimring read more

Walked in and talked to the owner Neff and warned him that I was going to be one of his biggest challenge ever. My daughter was getting married in 3 weeks and I have not hit the dance floor ever. It's just something that I have no desire to do. But my daughter's wedding was going to the most important day in her life so I didn't want to disappointment. Neff was beyond patient with me and help put a few steps together and made the day a big success. read more

Neff is the best! We only had a month to prepare our first wedding dance, and neither me and my husband has zero dancing skill.... but Neff was so creative and patient to teach us. He's very experienced! The dance came out very very nice! Thank you Neff! read more

This was my first time at a dance studio ever and I loved it. My friend called in advance and spoke with Marianne who was so polite and welcoming. We arrived at 630pm so we had a little time to catch up. We both suffer from analysis paralysis. "The state of over-analyzing (or over-thinking) a situation so that a decision or action is never taken, in effect paralyzing the outcome." Dancing is not easy or natural for me. Recently my friend and I went through this mutual experience where we really got a chance to step outside of our comfort zone. Not just once but again and again. It's not that I don't like to dance, I just don't do it because I was ok telling myself I just don't know how to. Until yesterday when I mustered up the courage to show up at Ballroom world of dance. Once we stepped in we were greeted by Marianne who is the owner of the studio. She was smiling and extremely kind to us. I love that she was very inclusive which was nice, my nerves begin to die down. Kassandra was our instructor. She's fairly new to this studio, which was a surprise to me because she is a pro and carried herself with such certainty and grace. I will most definitely be coming back for more lessons. Great service and great quality! read more

Great new owners, great place to learn Salsa,Tango, Samba.... Great place to meet new friends. Free lesson on Tuesdays at 7:00 PM! Woohoo! read more

Dance Masters is my favorite place to dance! I've taken lessons in many different studios, and this is by far my favorite place to dance and learn. The teachers are fabulous, knowledgeable and put you at ease from the first lesson. The students are so friendly and welcoming. No clicks here! Just a bunch of people who welcome everyone. The best thing is that the cost is so affordable. Neff, the owner, has a great monthly deal that includes unlimited group lessons and parties each month. You can't beat it anywhere else! What I love the most about the instruction here is that unlike other studios that feed out one simple thing to the whole group for each lesson to drag out the time it takes to learn (so they can get you for more $$$), this studio meets you where you are. If you have a question during a dance party, they answer it and willingly show you something new. I can't recommend it highly enough. Hope to see you in class soon! read more

Now with the new owner Marianne and renamed the Ballroom World of Dance, this is the place to learn to swing, cha cha, tango, waltz - whatever your pleasure is. The teachers are terrific, the studio has been redecorated and looks great, the people are friendly and warm, and the prices are affordable. You won't find better classes in the area. Or indulge in private lessons and learn faster. Give it a one-time try and you'll be addicted. I can't imagine why anyone would go to Arthur Murray when this offers you top-rate teaching at much less cost. Did I mention - it's fun! Find more info at ballroomworldofdance.com. read more

This is a wonderful place to take intermediate level group dance lessons! I say this because sometimes it can be hard to find higher level classes, so it's been a refreshing experience for me to come to Neff's group classes. He always creates interesting combinations that are challenging, but not impossible. You will continue to grow in your dance competency if you show up regularly. I highly encourage you to do so. He also has great private lessons for beginning dancers, couples and advanced dancers. read more

Marianne and her team are great supporters of local business and really nice people. I would highly suggest you get off your couch and get over to meet some great people, learn some great dance moves and get some exercise to boot. Keep up the great teaching! Rob from IHOP. read more

We recently got married and went to Neff for lessons for our first dance. We had only a couple weeks before the big day and only two days for lessons. I had no dancing experience but with Neff's help our first dance was everything we wanted and more. Aside from his patience, creativity, and fantastic method of instruction, Neff is a nice and funny guy. It's a great environment for beginners to learn how to dance and we look forward to taking more lessons from him when we can. read more

The only instructor I know is Gene and he's great. I'm a beginner but when I dance with him it's easy. The class I love is on Sundays from 2:00 to 5:00. Each hour is a different style and it's very reasonably priced. All the student are nice. read more

Neff is such a great teacher! The group classes are fun and informative. the staff at Dance Masters Ballroom are welcoming and friendly. A great overall experience! read more

A jewel in Agoura Hills for ballroom dancers. Neff, the new owner, just celebrating one year anniversary, and his lovely wife Lieya, are great teachers, super nice people, bringing tons of fun to their classes, teaching nice routines to a nice music. You will always leave uplifted after your lesson! read more

Ballroom World of Dance is the new dance school located in the Westlake Village/Thousand Oaks area. Director Marianne Van Etten has put together a great team of dance instructors and also teaches there herself. I'm a beginner-intermediate, and I came here originally because of the school's reputation for teaching ballroom dancing. They live up to their reputation, and the entire school is great. It's located in a large upstairs studio with hardwood floors, big windows, and is newly re-decorated. Classes are offered several evenings during the week, and on weekend afternoons. The Sunday afternoon session is a great deal...three hours for a very reasonable fee. You can bring your own partner or just show up and rotates among the other dancers. Incidentally, the male/female ratio is usually close to even (sometimes more men, even!) so time spent "sitting out" is usually minimal. Extra instructors are usually present to help even out the ratio. Marianne frequently helps the beginners so that intermediates can progress without being held back. The cost is very reasonable compared to the big national chain dance studios. The national chains have a reputation for being hard-sell and expensive. Marianne's primary motivation seems to be to enable people to dance well. And it's a family-type atmosphere...all the students are known by name and known for their dancing needs. Private instruction is also available. Finding a good ballroom school is not easy...I travel a long distance to attend their classes and it's well worth the effort. Should definitely be tried out if you have any interest in ballroom dancing, from complete beginner to advanced competitor. read more

Great, professional, dedicated instructors! Small business offering big bang for your buck! The wood dance floors are large in BOTH studios - plenty of room to glide around. Elegant. We have fun while we burn calories. Wedding Private Lessons are in a separate room for the most part. There are many instructors offering all kinds of dance, even yoga, etc... Plus social parties & charity events around town. The music is great. I love Salsa, and Tango. All levels to learn. The owner is hardworking to provide a lot for her customers. Come on over and take a lesson. Wednesday night is a Beginners starting point. Each week learn a basic ballroom dance! read more

We initially took lessons for a wedding and while we gave ourselves very little time to learn, they were patient and we had a great experience. Two years later and we now go weekly and while we have no pending events we decided we would take lessons for no more than the joy of dancing to music and having fun. The staff, the owner and our instructor is very pleasant, flexible and accommodating. I recommend them highly if you want to learn to dance and you are willing to put forth the effort. Like any other physical activity, the more you put into it, the more you practice, the more you will learn. The experience they bring to your lessons is well worth the investment in time and money. While some may not like a "private" lesson when others (one other couple) may be sharing the room and the music, I would only remind them that the last time I checked, we ultimately dance on crowded dance floors, not alone, and to many different music selections, not all to our liking. Their format and methodology for instruction works for us. Most of all, we have learned a lot, we enjoy the atmosphere and we have a great time with a lot of fun as our instructor not only is a dancer, he has a great sense of humor and cares. If you love music, I think its hard not to love dance. read more

There is only so much that can be taught in a one hour private lesson and I feel we learned it. I bought a Conejo Deal for a private lesson. I bought it to hopefully learn the basics before our wedding coming up in a month. I think my instructor was Rebecca and she was great! It was an easy going instruction and I really learned a lot. I am quite pleased. I even tried to give her a tip and she said she does not accept tips! Wow! This place is high class! I like it! read more

purchased a groupon for 5 classes. our instructor was Kevin and he was fantastic! the place is nice, clean and everyone friendly. we had a lot of fun dancing but the only downfall is their schedule which so far hasn't been accommodating to us in particular. once we are able to make it again we will definitely come back for more. location is great with plenty of parking and their prices are pretty good too. read more

We are standing in front of the studio waiting for the first 10:30 Tango session. Its already 10:20, there is no sign of anyone in the studio, and nobody picked up the phone in the last few days either. I'll give a few more minutes to see what's going on. Why put out the schedule if not followed. read more
