My first time dancing, I'm a pretty shy person, but I felt perfectly welcome! I went for a Cha-Cha lesson last night (Friday), only $7 for an hour and a half of lesson time, and from 9 - 12 they had cha-cha, waltz, tango, salsa, other Latin stuff, almost every single dance genre! The customer service was incredible, I called earlier Friday morning for information, and was greeted and invited by their owner who I met later that night, great guy. The main ballroom was colossal, the sound system was great, the lighting was fantastic, and the dance floor was clean and easy to dance on. The best part was the crowd. Everyone was friendly and when I doubted myself during the lesson they reassured me and told me about how it was for them when they started. Of course, there were some dancers that seemed like they didn't enjoy practicing with a newbie, but they are plenty of people like that in this world, right? The way the lesson was taught was, the instructor, Chris, was in the center of the ballroom, and the dancers formed a circle around Chris as he taught. This ensured that everyone could view and hear his instruction clearly. The men are asked to rotate with the women about every two minutes or so, I had to learn a lot of names! After the lesson, the dancing started, it started off with a couple of Cha-Chas, but then several different dance styles were played, as a new comer, I was a little overwhelmed, not knowing anything other than Cha-Cha, but it was still fun watching all of the dancers! From what I've been told, they teach a different dance every week, next week is Waltz, and I plan on returning. From what I was told, they also have different lessons during the week, Salsa on sundays, and something different every Saturday. Highly recomended if you are a new dancer, and want to learn in a comfortable environment! read more

Paragon is a FABULOUS place to learn to dance, and to go dancing. It's a much nicer atmosphere than a bar and you don't need a partner, which is quite helpful if you don't have one. By rotating partners while learning the steps, you have the opportunity to see what a lead should be and learn how to follow it. The instructors are great - Robert on Tuesdays for West Coast Swing, Lonnie on Fridays and Shawn for Salsa Sunday - they are all award winning dancers who have performed and competed in a variety of venues. Sometimes the classes are really large and it may be hard to hear or see the instructor, but they are always willing to answer questions or show you what you're missing. The prices for the group lessons are very reasonable and you really do get good quality instruction. And they're followed by an open dance so you can practice what you've learned. These instructors, and the other instructors at Paragon, are available for private lessons as well, and many, many students have gone on to compete, place and win in lots of local and national dance competitions. There is also a kids dance program through the "For the Love of Dance Foundation" that helps underpriviledged kids develop self esteem and learn to express themselves through dance. Whether you're looking for social dance lessons or want to build your skill to competition level, Paragon Dance Center is the place to go. Check them out, you won't be disappointed. read more

My review is for the salsa sunday social. I give it a one star.Poor stuff. The dance floor is huge and so much space but the lessons are poorly organized. There is no discipline.It looks like these people think 'hey we are giving this lesson free'. They dont realize we pay them 7 dollars at the door.No one knows who is the DJ. You always see a bunch of people hanging out at the DJ booth. The crowd is young unlike pepins or whitehouse. But this place lacks teh club atmosphere, so its not a fun place. You go here to dance and thats it.People are not very friendly either.The instructors are not good enough though the guy who teaches intermediate is good.The misic played is poor quality and no meremgue and no bachata.My advise to these guys is to bring the pepin DJ here or take this social to Pepin read more

I've been an active dancer/student with the studio from the past through current. The owners Nikolay (Niki), Radomir and Gergana all are wonderful dancers, instructors and are very creative, knowledgeable and patient. They offer a wide range of classes for all types of dance styles for kids and adults alike and even have some classes for exercise. The showcases are "Awesome" and so "Fun". The studio just gets better and better each year. I have made many friends and still see instructors and fellow dancers from the past. It truly feels like a second family to me. I've enjoyed my old and new family of dancers. I hope you can take some time to come stop by and check the studio out. Lovely space, I'm confident you will feel the NRG (energy) just as I did! ;-) read more

I am not a dancer, but wanted to learn a few steps so I could dance outside of my own living room. True, Paragon isn't Fred Astaire, and it is less expensive, that is because there are no contracts to sign,but the one-on-one teaching I received was beyond anything I could imagine. The instructors were able to meet my schedule for lessons, and taking advantage of the "specials" I will be dancing until dawn. The nightly lessons, varied in style, are just right for beginners to advanced and are priced just right for these economic times. Because there are no contracts, I can learn at my own pace. The building is deceiving, because it is larger than what you think, and it accomadated me just fine. Thank you Paragon. Good luck to you in the new year. read more

NRG Ballroom provides space for our Jazzercise classes, and the dedicated and professional NRG staff has created a hospitable environment for our group. It is a joy to watch all of the dancers practice their moves. The team renovated the studio completely, updating its appearance, expanding the class offerings, and enthusiastically sharing the gift of dance with diverse groups and levels of students. Although I have not taken any classes YET, I so enjoy being connected with NRG through our fitness classes. I heartily recommend everyone interested in dance to check out NRG's safe, clean facility and skilled teachers. read more

Paragon has upped its game with new partners and fabulous ballroom instructors. This place is littered with the who's who in dancing professionals. They clearly lead the way in Ballroom, Country and West coast swing in Arizona. However, Tuesdays West coast Swing event, turns me and many of my friends away. The latter it gets the LOUDER it is. (you'll need earplugs), the worse song selection, and the more undanceable they are. If the volume weren't painful I'd give Tuesdays thumbs ups. I do give 5 stars for Robert Campos lesson this day though. read more

NRG ballroom is an amazing place. The owners have done major renovations and updates and the place looks great. They replaced a solid wall with windows which brings in a lot of natural light and creates a welcoming environment. The owners are friendly and professional. They make sure that the facility is in compliance with current CDC guidance so everyone stays safe. Not only do they provide individual and group dance lessons but Jazzercise also holds classes in the ballroom. There's something for everyone at NRG Ballroom. read more

NRG has a great location and better yet an incredible facility. I have danced at this location for years, but this place has never looked like it does today. NRG took a run-down facility and made it look brand new. The facility is beautiful; newly renovated and updated with a wall of windows, decorations that fit every season, and staff that are professional and friendly. I wouldn't go anywhere else! This is a must stop (and dance) facility. read more
