By far one of the better places for your money, to learn to dance and practice. They have something every night. There has been some upgrades to the floors and one dance room since the new management took over. The West coast swing(Robert), Salsa social (sunday, Shawn) and the Friday (Lonnie's class) are the most popular with the dance floor filling up rapidly with a wide range of and expertise of dancers. Personally I'm not a big fan of Lonnie's as his instructions are geared towards his ASU students and more towards the womens steps. (Hey! the guys are petrified when they are tasked with remembering their steps with the beats applying proper pressure for a good lead and remembering the next 2 steps so that things flow smoothly... so try spending time and effort telling us exactly what how I should be leading, instead of trying to impress the girls. For the people who disagree, try leading and I will gladly switch to a follow). But I still get to take your class right Lonnie! (sheepish)......
Watching some of the expert dancers do their "thang" can be a bit intimidating but most of the people are nice and will dance with you( and provide tips). Of the bunch of people who will not because U might be a noob (you jerks know who you are!), I say move on (after showing them a few choice gestures).
If you see a hippo gesturing oddly at girls, come on over and ask for a dance, you know I'm a noob too ;)
