Corazon Latino Dance Studio

I was visiting from California and dropped in to Mary’s Sunday Zumba Carribean class. It was AWESOME & she is too!!! She was very kind and helpful to newcomers and love, love, love her energy! I will be back the next time I am in Austin for business.

So much fun! The staff here is so sweet and welcoming. Took Phil’s class and danced my butt off! I look forward to trying the Belly dancing class as well.

The best Zumba experience I’ve had in Austin. Great location if you live South. The studio itself is clean, and the square, spacious, mirror-​covered rooms make it easy to see the instructors even when it’s really crowded. All of the instructors I’ve had have provided a great workout. My favorites though are Mary — so easy to follow, and very friendly, Fanny for her Zumba toning classes, and Phil for all around great instructing. I love that they have a wide array of class times. And as a really nice bonus, they have two nicely kept bathrooms in the main studio, and more in the other rooms, so there is never a wait to change or use the restroom. They also have plenty of cubbies to keep your stuff in while you dance.
My only hope is that they bring back the chair classes!
Just a tip: it is easier to turn left at the light at Bill Hughes than to wait for traffic to pass in the turn lane to the main parking lot.

Fanny and Mary are amazing!!! Awesome Zumba and Bootcamp classes! Ok yes, from the outside it looks a but lackluster, however, the inside is very spacious clean. They now offer Insanity classes as well!

You guys have to come try out this place! I love the Monday and Tuesday class at 7pm with Phil. He’s a lot of fun and gets you motivated! I’ve been going there for over a year now and am addicted. It’s so much fun… you won’t be disappointed! I have had to take my son with me and they are ok with letting them sit inside the classroom as long as they’re not a distraction.

I stumbled across this little dance studio after several months of disappointment at a majorly expensive gym with subpar Zumba instructors. The location is a little sketchy but I don’t leave items in my car and always lock my doors. I absolutely love taking Mary B.‘s class. She is so nice and really wants her clients to get the best workout. Her enthusiasm is what keeps me going back to Corazon Latino. You won’t be disappointed if you take a class with Mary B. but just be prepared to sweat. I would give Mary B. a full five stars!
However, I’m only giving the dance studio three stars because there is one issue that stops me from fully committing to routine workouts at Corazon Latino and it’s the lack of customer service when you arrive for your class. The receptionist when you first arrive is not the friendliest. They are not completely rude but more aloof and apathetic. It’s kind of shame because the instructors are super friendly. It wouldn’t be an issue if I didn’t have to interact with them but I have to check-​in and have my card punched before stepping into a class.

Absolutely love this place. The classes are FABULOUS. The rooms are spacious and parking is plentifully. There are a wide variety of class times available, to suit varying client schedules. The clients are friendly and the instructors are beyond talented in their profession, with Mary Bastos being the most motivating and best instructor there. Additionally, a wide variety of class formats such as kettlebell, ballet, kickboxing, bellydancing and salsa classes are also available. Corazon Latino is by far the best in Austin!

This place used to be awesome… when Alex was there. Im sorry but ive had the other instructors let me get in for free just to try their classes and well. maybe its for people who don’t really care about getting a good work out. With Alex, I would be sweating and enjoying myself at the same time. He would kick my butt and actually make zumba a challenge. Hes extremely taleneted and had been teaching there for a long time. Hes the only reason I went there. Now theres new instructors that havent been teaching there for long and you can tell. I followed him to his new location. Trust me. one you try him u dont go back.

I really really enjoyed taking classes at this dance studio. The studio itself is very nice, it’s more of a square shape so you don’t have to crane your neck too much to see the instructor. The instructor also teaches on top of a small stage which is a plus because it is so much easier to follow someone when you can actually see them. There are mirrors on the front wall and both of the side walls as well as fans which are really great additions.
I was only in ATX for 2 weeks for the holidays so I didn’t get to try as many classes as I would have liked. I did Zumba and Zumba Toning with Fanny, Marispy and Melody. Both classes were awesome and all of the instructors were superb. The classes can really pump you up and give you a good work out as long as you’re willing to go for it. There is a good variety of songs and steps, they definitely change it up so it’s not super repetitive. I also really enjoyed the fact that they stick to the more traditional Zumba, such as using more Latin based music and really incorporating salsa, samba, cha-​cha etc. into the steps. As for the class size, it can get pretty crowded, but it really depends on what class and what time you are taking it. It’s not too bad though, cause no matter what spot you are in you’ll have instructor visibility and a decent amount of space to move in. Just come early if you have a preference, especially if you want to be right by a fan. Also, if you want to give Zumba Toning a try, they have the toning sticks and dumb bells available for the students to use in the studio. Just FYI, cause some studios make you buy it first. Prices are very fair, I bought a 10 class punch card for $ 50.00 but it’s $ 8.00 for a single class, $ 38.00 for 6 classes and then $ 69.00 for 1 month unlimited.
It’s true what the other reviewers say, the location is kind of shady, but honestly I think it’s super convenient especially for people who live in South Austin. There is also a decent amount of parking. Whenever I’m in Austin, this will definitely be my go to dance studio!

Love this place, great energy, no judgey people, the instructors are fun and do not mind that I have no rhythm, and according to my Body Bug I burn right around 1500 calories a class, yahoo

My weekly experience with Corazon Latino is amazing! I go there 3 – 4 a week. They are mostly known for their Zumba classes, but offer variety of different classes, and Zumba type classes! & they have a lot of punch cards avail. great choices! Fanny, Marispy and Mary are the owners, they are genuine and awesome! Nina and Alex know how to Party! Every class feels like a party! You come out of every class feeling amazing! What are you sitting there waiting for? go see for yourself! Best Zumba Dance Studio in Austin Texas!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE.
This studio and location appear a bit shady on the outside, but it’s the real deal inside. I used to take «salsa» at 24 Hour with the legendary Fanny Gonzales, and this is her studio. Was thrilled to find her again! Zumba is a blast no matter who is teaching, but they have taken it up a notch here. For one thing, dimming the lights and adding a disco ball is just too much fun! And Alex — my favorite instructor — is too fabulous for words. Except that word: Fabulous. He has loads of energy and is an incredible dancer — with enough drama to keep you giggling the whole time.
I encourage you to get a couple of classes (great deals on punch cards at very reasonable prices) so you can go a few times before you decide. Mainly because the classes are fast paced, with minimal instruction (and much of it in spanish). Don’t be intimidated; once you catch on there are really only a few steps… and even if you even never get it there are plenty of other people doing their own thing (seriously, I’m convinced one lady just comes to hear the music and just sort of twirl around). It’s a very diverse crowd with all different skill levels where everyone is welcome!
Bring comfortable clothes (there are dressing rooms) and plenty of water — this is hard work. You can modify however you need, but you will be moving for an hour straight. Go gitsome!
PS. They have other classes like Bootcamp and «Sexy Chair» but I haven’t branched out yet. (They have a few rooms so they can run different classes concurrently). I will chime back in when I get the nerve to try those out.

I LOVE THIS PLACE. I’ve done Zumba here and there, but this place is the best. The people are so friendly and welcoming and they keep it super high energy! I used to absolutely hate any kind of exercising, even the Zumba I had tried before, but Corazon Latino actually gets me excited about going to class! The music is loud and it feels more like a dance party than an aerobics class (like the Zumba classes I’m used to). Zumba is supposed to be a fun workout, and they do exactly that.
I love that they offer no-​contract monthly membership as well as class punch cards and single classes. Also, having multiple different classes at different times (in the 30-​minute staggered windows!) is so helpful for scheduling. It’s super affordable and convenient!
Oh, and Mary B is the best! She’ll kick your ass in the best possible way :)

I love ending my day with the wonderful Zumba instructors of Corazon Latino! The atmosphere is super chill! No one judges & I feel relaxed –n– comfortable in this studio! I’ve made a lot of friends here! What are you waiting for? Come join the party!

I love the classes here and you can’t beat the price. I usually just take regular Zumba but there are several options to mix it up. Mary B. is a super and welcoming teacher

The last two time I have been here Alex has been teaching. He’s like a tourtoures Latino version of Magic Mike. You will burn calories in his class. I always am smiling when I leave this place.

OK, I need to bump this studio up a star. For real. They have done so much in the past few months to the benefit of their students and I need to share how I feel about it– and that feeling can only be described as awesome.
Fanny, Marispy, & Mary definitely listen to their students– and they make dreams become reality.
Recently, they opened a brand new studio space next door to accomodate more classes because of the popularity of the classes in the original space. They also created a new schedule featuring a variety of classes and instructors. I love that there are more options and I’m to the point where the monthly unlimited pass option is the best choice for me.
Guess what’s back, too? Yep. Turbo Kick! Marispy definitely makes the Turbo Kick classes a challenge and I really appreciate the studio for listening to students like me that wanted it back. To me that really shows they care about their students and want to see them succeed at their health & fitness goals.
In addition to Zumba & Turbo Kick, the studio also offers several other workouts for a variety of fitness levels including (but not limited to): Hot Hula, Yoga, Salsa, Bootcamp, Belly Dance, Rumba Flamenca, and the list goes on (just check the schedule!).
The one thing I really appreciate about this studio is that the instructors teach from the heart. They truly believe in what they do and treat everybody that comes in like a member of the family. I’ve tried gyms in the past where you were just a face in the crowd and you’re not exactly motivated to return… this place is the opposite end of that spectrum. The more you come, the more you move– the more motivation you have to succeed with your goals.
So if you’re looking for a place that will motivate and inspire you, Corazon Latino is your best bet in 78 745– and probably in all of Austin.

This is equivalent to a dive bar in my opinion.
Nothing fancy, parking lot sucks, prices are cheap, always the same people, and a random disco ball.
I just took a zumba class, the instructor was upbeat, and kept the energy high. I was shocked to see a full house, but the studio is large accommodated for everyone.
Nothing beats the $ 7/​class and the local flavor. (did i mention this is on william cannon)

I was looking for a Zumba class close to my home and it was actually harder than I thought! I found Corazon online and decided to check it out. I stopped in and was pleasantly surprised. After visiting a few other Zumba offerings, this place felt «different». The ladies are very nice and made sure I felt welcome as a newby. I haven’t taken a class with every instructor yet, but so far so good.
The price is great and they offer a good variety of ways to pay without any contracts. Bonus! They also offer a variety of classes throughout the week to fit almost anyone’s schedule.
I would definitely recommend Corazon to anyone, at any skill level!

I was so excited when a Zumba studio opened at a location that was nice and convenient to my home! Whether you need to attend a morning or an evening class, there are several slots for Zumba, as well as some Boot Camp classes, Zumba Toning, and Personal Training hours available. Depending on the other instructors they have on the schedule, there have been Latin Dance and Turbo Kick classes (so far) as well. Schedule changes are communicated well if you are signed up on their Facebook page and/​or their e-​mail list. The current class schedule runs Monday — Friday from approximately 9a — 11a and then from 4p or 5p until around 8p. There are also Saturday morning classes.
The entire staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the workouts are so much fun! Thanks to the multiple signs, it is easy to locate the studio … which is actually on the right of the shopping center. I think Bill Hughes is the name of the street that you can turn on to get to the studio if you don’t feel like driving through the lot.
There are pricing options for those that with to pay per class, buy a package of classes, or maintain an unlimited monthly membership. Additionally, there is a place for your kids to play while you work out.
At Corazon, you don’t have to worry about who else is in class with you or how you look going through the moves. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. If you are looking for some fun and a great workout from well-​trained instructors, definitely give them a try!
