What Our Clients Are Saying About Us
Jeannette
I have taken bachata and salsa classes at Dance Central. I have enjoyed the classes and learned so much. The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable. They offer a welcoming environment and everyone becomes part of this tight community of dancers. They have socials every month that are so much fun where you can practice all your dance patters. Join a class! you won’t regret it.

A great experience for all ages. My granddaughter goes to class here and they are very patient. Very welcoming group of people. This video is from their free event which they hold sometimes. Would recommend 100%
Aaron Oquendo
I love this dance studio. I joined the Sunday beginner salsa classes 6 weeks ago. I’ve learned so much since then. Eder makes the basics super easy to learn. I also just started taking the bachata lessons with Mike. He’s great as well at teaching the moves simply. I would highly recommend this dance studio to anyone who wants to improve their dance moves, have fun and be around great teachers. Don’t hesitate to start classes!
