5 Stars for the lessons. Gary and Isabelle have a great salsa lesson and from what I have seen the bachata and kizomba instructor is very good as well.
5 Stars for the price and location. Still 8 dollars
1 star for poor dance etiquette from beginning dancers who think they are advanced. Just a lot of attitude from dancers who are not very good. My biggest pet peeve though is a lot of followers are saying, “I am taking a break!” and then are out on the floor 30 seconds later. It kills the mood. If you don’t want to dance with someone, say, “No thank you.” (Note, there are a lot of nice people there too.)
-5 stars for the DJ. Same songs, same order, lots of timba music.
I have seen it really decline over the past 2 years. I really think it is the DJ.

The lessons were a little too informal… The instructor was teaching in Vans! I liked how the class size was small, but it was too slowly paced for me even the intermediate class, probably better suited for beginners.
