The Dance Shack, Jacksonville FL

My husband surprised me for a night out on Valentines weekend and took advantage of the Valentines special. The class was fun and the instructor was great. We learned basic steps for three dances he took the time to help the individual couples and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand for beginners. Overall 5 outta 5 experience and we're talking about going again for a group class in the future. Perfect date night and great experience.

Visiting Jax from Indianapolis wanted to dance found this place on Facebook events the posts were well written and had all the info we needed the instructors were nice we took salsa and bachata had fun learned new moves we will visit again!

Most fun I've had in years! This is my first experience dancing and i appreciate how the instructors take the time to walk though all the steps as well as provide very useful pointers when I'm having issues.

My now husband and I decided that we wanted to do dance lessons for our first dance after watching both really good and really bad dances ha. We worked with Jaime for about 2 months and she created the most amazing first dance choreography for us. We were shocked at how easy and digestible she made all of the moves throughout our lessons. We are now going back for more so that we can learn the basics because we enjoyed the dance and Jaime so so much! If you are debating doing dance lessons, here’s your sign to do it! It is worth every penny and you will absolutely not regret it!

My husband and I took 6 dance lessons to prepare for the first dance at our wedding. We had Tanya and absolute loved her! She made each lesson fun and was an awesome instructor. We really had no dancing history and she made us feel comfortable and at ease. Highly recommend going to the Dance Shack for any of your choreography needs or just to brush up on some skills.

Before covid, I was an avid salsa/bachata dancer for 2 and a half years, dancing almost daily, and took many classes over that time. I went to the free newbie class here with my boyfriend, who doesn't have much dance experience. I was not expecting to learn much, but the way the instructor (I believe her name is Jaime) frames things, something finally clicked in my brain about salsa steps that I had never quite figured out in my previous dancing experience.

We returned the following week for the beginner bachata class, taught by the same instructor. I had the same experience of everything making so much more sense. My boyfriend, who had never danced bachata before was able to lead me through an entire dance routine with relative ease by the end of the night. I was so impressed. Jaime makes things fun, and she is a phenomenal teacher!

If you're a newbie and/or on the fence, this is your sign. Take classes at this studio!

It is a great place to learn multiple styles of dance with superb instructors who will make an effort to help you

I have taught at some level my entire life. Eddie is an amazing instructor. His calm and patient demeanor when teaching dance is rare to say the least. This is what he was born to do.

My 1st time there. Absolutely amazing. Fun! And they actually helped. I wasn't stressed on if I "did it right". I will Absolutely return.

Nice studio with friendly staff and clientele. They hosted a swing Meetup the night I was there. Various class offerings throughout the week!

This place is incredibly fun, and I love how supportive both the staff and fellow members are while learning. They are very gracious teachers, even to someone with two left feet like me. I have already recommended this place to several friends and will continue to do so!
