If you’re thinking about taking dance lessons, I can’t recommend Joey enough. My boyfriend and I have been taking private lessons with him, and somehow he’s managed to turn my two left feet into a left and a right. I honestly didn’t think that was possible. Joey is an incredible instructor because he doesn’t just know how to dance, he knows how to teach. He breaks things down in a way that makes sense, is patient, and adjusts his teaching style to meet you where you are. What I appreciate most is that he also knows how to coach you through the mental side of learning. Whenever I get stuck on a sequence or start overthinking, he has a way of calming my nerves, helping me work through the mental block, and getting me back on track. I’d highly recommend private lessons if you really want to maximize your time and progress, but the group classes are also a lot of fun and a great way to learn in a welcoming environment. Whether you have years of dance experience or are convinced you have absolutely no rhythm (like I was), Joey will make you feel comfortable, capable, and excited to keep coming back.

First place to dance Bachata in Houston. Great experience, such a fun time tonight. Great way to kick off the Sensual Bachata Festival!

The studio it is nice, but they have not found a way to keep the temperature tolerable while dancing there for socials. Everyone was dripping in sweat and the mirrors had condensation from the steam. I would suggest they invest in large fans and turn the air all the way down. I went memorial day weekend, not even in full blown summer. I think if your health is fragile this is high risk for heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

Friendly people and always ladies to dance with. A few are kind of snooty / moody, but most are very nice. Been dancing for many years and they are pretty chill here comparitively. It's a studio and most dancers are using a type of balet/ballroom style salsa with a little flare. Saturdays have really good and versatile style dancers, all ages, not just ballroom. The older guys usually dance the best, more natural, less scripted. Sarurdays you'll even see come Cuban and Colombian styles. Most ladies are versatile and can adjust to anything. There are always begginers but the learn fast. You will know the smug men instantly. they make the ladies feel insecure because they don't dance like pros. Look for the $20 patent leather dance shoes and skin tight booty pants. The crowd is equally enthusiastic for both bachata and salsa. Also, its not just salsa 2 songs and bachata for the next hour. DJs are usually on point playing good and equal numbers of both. Saturdays, they have separate rooms for Salsa and bachata. Overall, the crowd and vibe are consistently positive.
