This is not for those who just want to take a month-long class to say they've tried it... salsa takes dedication and Strictly Street Salsa will give you the skills and help you really learn the right habits to being a great dancer. The business has expanded from a one-man operation to having several instructors who teach in 5 different locations (including in Sugarland and Pearland). So why chose SSS? Besides being affordable, the classes are made so you do not need to have a partner. You actually rotate partners which helps you become a very adaptable dancer (instead of merely learn how to dance with one person). You also learn the more casual and classic version of salsa, Cuban-style which I personally prefer over the flashier, more theatrical "LA-style". Added bonus - once you reach the more advanced style classes you start to learn casino or rueda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rueda_de_Casino). It's like square-dancing salsa and it is a blast! Visit their website to see their locations, class times and when the next cycle begins.

LOVE this dance studio - I attend their Latin social class every week - sometimes I drag my…read moreboyfriend along, but most times I go solo - the instructors have us rotate partners, so I always have the opportunity to practice with a partner! The cost for a drop-in is $25, so it's also pretty reasonable pricing/very competitive with other dance class locations. I also really like how they do the schedule for the Latin social dance class - each month, they pick a genre (i.e. salsa, bachata, cha cha, etc.) and week 1 of the month is a super introductory level to the new genre, then week 2 builds on what you learned week 1, and so on - so it's always new every week, but not overwhelmingly new! I've also been to their two-stepping class and enjoyed it, but it's on Fridays and I usually have other plans haha - they also do occasional special events like a monthly social (which is free) and a seasonal showcase (which is coming up and is only $30 for a class, dinner, and a show!) I've experienced two instructors and they're both amazing! There's also a third instructor who occasionally steps in as a partner if an extra leader is needed for the Latin social class and he's very easy to dance with, so I imagine he's a good instructor, too!

We are so pleased with our dance instructor! Trish Shaw, the owner of Just Danze, is amazing. She…read morepatiently breaks down steps, provides great direction and feedback, and really knows her stuff. She developed a beautiful father - daughter dance for our daughter's wedding and has continued to expand the night club two step for us. We have also been learning TX two step. Trish and her husband Ken are clearly building a dance community. They offer numerous group classes and private lessons for various types of dancing styles. All instructors are personable, professional, and knowledgeable. Additionally, Trish and Ken frequently schedule dance events and potlucks that allow for and help provide interaction, sharing, and support. Even though dance does not come easy to my husband and I - we have a great time learning and trying out our new skills. We would highly recommend Just Danze! If Trish can help us - she can help anyone learn to dance!

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.

I've been to a few lessons (very reasonably priced), have rented the studio for my daughter's birthday party(kids were overjoyed), and have stopped by just to chat with the dancers.

They have a sign outside that states first class free for first time members then they sing a different tune when you enter the facility. This is false advertisement in my book.

Jonathan was amazing, patient and a good dance instructor. The moves were easy and fun. I will be back for his experience alone and take his classes. I plan to update my review at a later date with the other instructor working the same night who was not as kind and rude in my book.

You can learn Salsa, Bachata, Cumbia, Kizomba, and Merengue right here in Houston. My favorite part is the community--so welcoming and positive from the moment I walked in. I've never taken a dance class before, and it's already boosted my confidence so much. 10/10 -- always excited for the next move and learning to stop saying "sorry" with my sweaty palms. : Credit- Christian Gutierrez

Our instructor, Enrique, was very knowledgeable about the various dances that we wanted to learn (tango and salsa). He walked through the basic steps and variations, both the leading male and following female roles, and patiently answered any questions we threw at him. Upon our recommendation, our friends tried it and were thrilled about the experience as well! If you're looking for dance studio to learn couples dancing, this place is it! Both group and private couples lessons were the same price. How much they charge for their services are very reasonable and often times, the best compared to their competitors. Highly recommended! Thank you Enrique! Hope you enjoyed us as much as we have enjoyed you! Tips: - There are two instructors, one is Enrique but unfortunately we did not catch the name of the other. Both are equally great instructors. - Call to schedule early in the week as their schedules tend to get packed. - **We recommend that you practice in between your lessons. That is a great indicator of your willingness to learn and it shows your appreciation of their time and expertise. -Their schedule runs from 2pm-10pm, 6-7 days a week.
