I came in for the 11am Aerial Silks Beginner class and had a bit of a rough first impression. When…read moreI walked up to the front desk in the main studio, the receptionist was looking down at her computer and didn't greet me. I stood there for a moment trying not to interrupt, but when she finally looked up she seemed visibly annoyed, almost like a "what do you want?" expression. I let her know I was there for the Silks class and she told me to go to the building across the parking lot. The interaction felt pretty short and awkward. Aerial Silks is already intimidating if you have no experience, so having this type of first impression really made me question if I even wanted to patron the establishment. That said, the class itself completely turned the experience around. Ashley, our instructor, was fantastic. She was super patient, encouraging, and kind. Aerial silks can be intimidating if you're new, but she made the class fun and approachable. I ended up having a great time and almost forgot about the front desk interaction by the end of it. If the front desk experience had matched the quality of the class, this would easily be a 5-star review. I would definitely come back for Ashley's class, especially now that I know I can go straight to the other building.

Code Blue itself is a really nice event. There's great social space and also a lot of room to dance. It's an all ages venue, where everyone is welcome. You don't even need a partner. Cool vibe - it's also BYOB. Plus it's only a $5 cover. I highly recommend checking it out. Make sure to come right at 8:30pm for the $5 hour-long beginner lesson.

Best studio to learn how to dance salsa and bachata in Austin!!…read more I really like how they have a belt system for their class progression, it motivates you to keep learning! Each class has a curriculum of skills to master. Their most popular day is Tuesday, when they offer both salsa and bachata classes for all levels. They also their dance social at 10pm that day. Shoutout to the instructors, especially Hannah, Michael, Morgan, Joseph, Kaitlyn, Marcus, and Favian - they are all fabulous! I would also highly recommend taking private lessons with them to accelerate your learning and get personalized feedback.

Coming back to ballet as a teen was tough, and I was struggling to find classes that would accommodate my beginner status and more advanced age (compared to the younger kids that would be in the same level) elsewhere. I was very pleasantly surprised when I called the lovely front desk there and learned that there was a perfect class for me! My instructors have been incredible and always kind and supportive, and I can't wait to continue dancing with them! I've grown so much as a dancer with this establishment, and it has brought so much joy to me! I would like to add that I once experienced a panic attack during class due to external stress with school, and the staff handled it perfectly and helped me out so much! They are also always willing to help with scheduling and leveling issues. I love this place and will continue to dance with them until I graduate in two short years!

I recently took Jacki's class and while she is a pro, I did not feel awkward and she plays great music to relax you and get you in the mood. When I left her class, I was beyond sore, but in a good way. The sheer amount of upper body strength it takes to move on the pole is insane, but the pain is worth it. They offer classes 7 days week which makes it easy for you to find a class that suits you. I will caution you to book early, as the spots are limited and fill up fast.

She made every session fun, easy to follow, and incredibly productive. We actually came all the way from Italy specifically to learn how to dance, and she made every mile worth it. We learned so much in such a short time -- not just the steps, but how to move together, how to feel confident, and how to actually look good on the dance floor. She explains things clearly, adapts instantly to what you need, and creates such a positive, encouraging atmosphere that you can't help but improve and enjoy yourself. What really stood out is how genuinely she cares about her students. She celebrates every little improvement and makes you feel proud of your progress. Her patience, kindness, and contagious enthusiasm turn every lesson into something you look forward to. We loved the experience so much that we'll definitely be coming back -- and in the meantime, we'll try to continue lessons even from abroad. We genuinely loved every minute of our time with her.
