To each time I go ballroom dancing it definitely delivers 150 % top of the line I love it Maggie York.
Came here for a salsa social hosted by Jimmy Anton on a Sunday night. The dancers were all skillful and the community and vibes were positive!
Every Sunday I can get there I will. Traveling from over 2.5 hours away so that is saying something.
After reading all the positive reviews of this place, I always had been wanting to check it out for years. As I didn't take a lesson with any staff there, just rented floor space with my dance partner... I can only review the facilities. The floor space is small just like anywhere else in NYC. There are two large poles about 2-3 feet wide in the main ballroom that divide it up and soak up a lot of space as well. There are a handful of smaller side rooms. The floor quality is amongst the worst I've seen, even by NYC standards. There's laminate flooring just over concrete... and you can really feel it on your feet after not too long of a session.
It was nice to finally see this studio, and I hear it's great for salsa and tango... but I won't be renting floor space anytime here soon.
Update 31 August 2017: Changed to 4 stars after they updated to a sprung wooden floor. It's much better than it used to be. Keep in mind that this is primarily a place to go with a private instructor than an actual cohesive studio.
I have not taken any of their classes but this studio is home to some of the best salsa parties in New York: La Vieja Guardia (every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month), Jimmy Anton's (every 1s and 3rd Sunday of the month) and Toda La Noche (the first Saturday of each month). If you are looking for awesome salsa dancing, this is where you will find it!
