Very awesome place, everyone seem to be knowledgable and great atmosphere. I bought the Unilocal bucks and purchase private lessons. Returning back Thursday for my second lesson

My first experience: I was still dating my now-hubs, and we went to the Saturday night one-time lesson/open dancing. It was fun, but intimidating Fast forward to this spring: Hubs bought us 6-week lessons for my birthday, and I chose the Argentine Tango for our beginner group lessons. Germaine Lewis is a fabulous instructor, and never once made me feel crazy for taking ballroom dance lessons while pregnant! The class was packed — which was actually great because when you rotate partners, it helps the women(as followers) to wait for the men(as leaders) to lead. Each person learns at their own pace, and it helps to have have an open mind that is willing to learn along with your partner. Everyone was incredibly friendly, and I will never forget the experience! Now I just need to find a local tango spot to use my dance moves!

I get so busy at work that I decided to find a creative outlet. Shake It Up to the rescue! I took a couple group ballroom dance classes in college but always wanted to try it again, so I went hard core and signed up for private lessons. My instructor is Bailey, and she’s pretty awesome. She and the rest of the studio staff have been super nice and very professional. They are always friendly, approachable, and nonjudgmental to my klutzy ways. Private lessons are the most ideal way to tackle ballroom dancing, but they get pretty pricey. I’m also enrolled in a group lesson for West Coast Swing and that’s pretty cool too. You’ll learn some basic moves during the six weeks but if you really want to perfect your technique, I recommend the private lessons. They work best for me because my job does not always let me have a consistent free time slot the same night every week for group lessons. Plus, I learn faster with private lessons. However, I know mostly for financial limits they are not for everybody. The social dance nights on Saturdays are pretty fun. I took a friend with me and the instructors were so nice to her, even approaching her when we were sitting, offering to teach some basic steps. There is a group lesson from 8 – 8:30 before everyone starts dancing the night away. Overall: Great dance studio with an awesome, professional staff. Everyone here is friendly, approachable, and nonjudgmental with your skill level. They are always so encouraging.

Until recently I lived in Chicago, and a summer staple was Chicago Summer Dance(go ahead, google it). It’s hard to find social dancing that matches with that. That being said, my wife and I had a wonderful time at the Saturday night lesson and open dance. Shake It Up offers an hour-long group lesson from 8 to 9, then social dance from 9 – 11. It’s $ 10 per person, and when you do the math, that’s the same as a movie ticket. Movies are great and all, but we wanted to have fun and look at each other on our night out, not stare at a screen. Lemonade and yummy cookies are provided. Single men would especially have fun here, the ratio was about 60⁄40 girls to guys. Instruction was great, beginner-friendly, and professional. First timers get in for free — how cool is that!

Shake It Up is awesome! No high pressure sales pitches. For a six week session? Just $ 50! I have not taken classes from every instructor, so I can only vouch for Juan and Natalie. Consummate professionals! I have loved taking Salsa, Rumba, Cha Cha, Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango and Country Line dancing. Talk about being outside your Adventist comfort zone! But I’ve loved every minute!
