Lisa is so high energy, and has such a great way of making you feel both comfortable and also excited to dance.

Even if she were teaching something other than dance, Lisa would be a brilliant and gifted teacher…read more That she happens to be a phenomenal and experienced professional dancer (with a music background) only adds to her credibility. (There are plenty of dance teachers out there who are not.) This dance stuff is not easy to learn, particularly for guys who have the added burden of having to learn how to lead. Lisa has an uncanny knack for recognizing and correcting missteps and breaking things down to their basic elements in easy to understand terms. You'll really learn how to dance at her studio, not just learn steps, and Lisa always seems genuinely happy to help. Definitely recommend.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE INITIAL SALSA BEGINNGERS CLASS AND MY REVIEW MAY CHANGE AS I…read moreCONTINUE ON. The staff was nice and welcoming. There is ample parking in the front and rear of the building, two bathrooms, hand sanitizer, and I believe they sell drinks. When you arrive, you check into the desk, sit and wait. Once the class begins you simply get up and begin. In the first class my wife and I took, the instructor was absent and we had someone fill in. The last class went over so we began 15mins late or so, which they made up having us stay later. We started learning the first basic steps "fighter" position and basic, etc for around 30mins. Then after a short break, they separated all of the men, had us all flip the footing, and we didn't have too much time for muscle memory to readjust. So they taught everyone the female position, and the men had to quickly adjust. Just be ready for it. And after that, they let us rejoin any parters we came with for a few minutes, and then had us rotate for the rest of the class to different partners as they played the music to what we learned. For someone who has never taken a dance class before, I was taken aback by the quick change of footing for the men after learning the other position for 30mins. It may be the way this is taught, but for me, and it looked like others, my muscle memory was fighting with me when I tried to flip it. As for the rotating of partners, my wife and I went in believing we would be learning together. and didn't know we'd be dancing with other partners. For the first few minutes before making us rotate when they allowed us to dance with the partners we came in with, my wife and I were very comfortable, enjoying it, and finding a synch that we so naturally have when learning. When we were made to rotate a few mins later and switch partners, it threw both of us off and when we got home we had to try and remember and go over it together since we didn't really get much of a chance together in the class. I would say that even though they have special "couple" rates, It's not an environment for couples to learn together so much as you will learn at the same time and level. I feel this is important for couples to know since we signed up believing we would be able to dance together as we learn. It seems to be designed for singles and individuals as they will definitely never have to worry about having a dance partner. All in all, it was definitely an immersive class for a first timer, with alot covered. The switching of footing for men threw me off a bit and felt like the first 30mins that were only for the men to get used to the style of movement and not the actual footing. The teachers were nice and energized, the environment was welcoming and everyone there and attending the classes was very nice. The only negative for me is that couples will not get much time learning and dancing together. So if you're looking for that, you might want another type of school or private lessons. I don't know. But my wife and I are continuing and my review may change, though I feel that more of the positive will be on their ability to teach us the technical aspects of Salsa so we can dance together at home. And a last note that the class was so packed with people that it was hard not to bump into others. We were wall to wall packed with very little space between us all.

It would be unfair to rate the place just according to one workshop that I took however I felt it…read morewas so mishandled I left disappointed and duped. So I'm throwing this out there so maybe they take notice and deliver better tango offer. I was invited by text message to take a tango workshop with Eran Who is their tango specialist I was told. I was excited for Sunday to arrive at 2 o'clock I was there promptly waiting with my tango shoes ready to take on a class I was told was going to be great. There was a variety of levels in the class and that's understandable as always. Then Alexey introduced us methodically to some steps and practice run. A very good teacher for the beginners and I was happy to get the chance to dance with someone who knew his steps. But I was confused as I was told our instructor would be Eran... but the lesson was sufficiently styled again for beginners. Then suddenly without much explanation a man named George took over the second half of the class and the structure completely disappeared. He repeated all that Alexey had spoke of and was absolutely over talked, under demonstrated and --sorry but as an Argentine milonguera and tango lyrics translator,-- I could not help but find it condescending to be instructed on the culture of tango by a Jewish Long Islander... it turned me off completely and 45 minutes later when we finally got a chance to practice what he called rock step and grapevine (terms unheard of in tango), I was done. Also one note: if you are a male beginning dancer please refrain from instructing the female out loud as if you knew more than she. Just Keep quiet, lead correctly and get out of her way so you don't trip, step, or block her. Men lead but do not rule. Take note. I've been searching for lessons around town and will continue to do so. Shame it was a shambles of a class.

Was not impressed with this studio at all. I received a random text saying I should write a yelp…read morereview. Do you want brutal honesty? You got it. I had high hopes of becoming a student at this studio November 2014. I'm the kind of person that knows exactly what I want when it comes to a dance studio; to perform showcases and dance with a partner that we both establish a great connection. Someone who enjoys teaching the way I enjoy learning. I was partnered with "Sasha" and he was nothing like that. Sasha a poor choice in every way. Strictly business, insulting, and instructed just to make money. We had four weeks until a showcase. He hated the song and dance I chose for our routine; we honestly just didnt see eye to eye on anything. I wanted to quit after the first lesson. The night of the showcase was a joke.. 30+ performers? I didnt perform until two hours later. Oh, and if you didnt pay the rediculous fee for dinner AND your performance, you were not allowed to eat that night nor sit. Rediculous. Also, Sasha was 45 min late so we barely had time to practice before we performed. He never aknowledged my existence that night, nor said goodbye when he left. I wrote a letter to the owner, Irina, explaining the whole situation as I'm telling it now. Nothing. No phone call, email, nothing. Just to "write a yelp review!" Here it is. Poor way to run your business when you charge rediculous prices.

Joss was so pleasant and patient. She apparently has a big résumé, having danced with some big acts of which she never spoke until we asked her the last day there. She is humble and sweet and always has a smile on her youthful face. She is a great dancer and teacher and it was our great luck to have gotten hooked up with her for our blessed event.
