I have never been a dancer but always loved the show So You Think You Can Dance." Even a novice like me was able to learn the moves during their break-down classes. I miss this place a lot!!

The only reason I give them four instead of five stars is the price. A gym membership is much,…read moremuch cheaper than this place. I lived in San Marco so I knew of Dance Trance but a Groupon made me try it out. I am about the least coordinated person around and I eventually caught on. I love how the dance trance classes incorporate current music and that it varies by class so you aren't constantly doing the same thing. I also took an urban ballet class that was super fun and made me wish that I knew more about ballet.

I had my first dance lesson at the Monarch Ballroom and Dance Studio last week. My instructor,…read moreChris Thomas, was fabulous. In my first lesson he taught the basics of salsa and merengue. My next lesson we're going to focus on swing. I like Chris's style of teaching. He shows you the steps, let's you practice but also teaches techniques to help improve style. This part makes you stand out when you go dancing in public. I'm excited to try a group lesson as well and a social event. Chris explained the group lessons help you be more comfortable dancing with multiple partners because everyone's style is different and you have to be ready for anything. Come check out Chris and the other dance instructors at Monarch Ballroom.

My fiancé and I were looking for something fun to do together and to help us with our dancing…read moreskills for our upcoming wedding, and Monarch Ballroom & Dance Studio has turned out to be the biggest blessing! From the day I contacted them, there has been excellent communication and easy scheduling. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming! Our coach Krista is the best! We are both beginners and she exudes patience and a positive energy at all of our lessons. She is a skilled dancer and we aspire to get to her level of expertise. For the past several months, we have been working together to create a choreographed first dance and are so happy with our decision to come here and learn something new! We have been building our confidence with dance week after week and can't wait to learn all the different types of dancing! I would recommend this studio to everyone!

I've tried several dance studios around town and Dance Salsa Jax is easily my favorite. It has,…read moreunequivocally, the best group lessons in town, and they're the cheapest too. 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.

Within a very short period of time, my instructor, the very capable, hard-working and patient Amelia Delahaye had me doing things on the dance floor that I didn't think were possible for me. I've already exceeded the expectations I had for myself when I started out. The owner, Larry Audije, and his gracious staff of highly trained professional instructors have always made me feel welcome, comfortable and at home as I continue to hone my skills and improve as a dancer. And most importantly, I've had a helluva lot of fun and met many nice people learning to dance at ASA studio. If you want to learn to dance in a fun, pressure free environment, I would not hesitate for a minute to recommend ASA DANCE STUDIO.
