Some might consider me a ballroom dance newborn, since my first lesson at Daza Dance Ballroom Academy took place only five short months ago. The upswing Ive experienced in skill and execution cant be attributed to sheer potential, Ill tell you that! The instructors have a way of lassoing talents and goals youve hidden deep inside yourself and yanking them to the forefront to your utter amazement (and, truthfully, amusement). Its this sensation, of constant surprise and self-improvement, that keeps me coming through those doors...in latin/rhythm 3" heels, no less My instructor is owner Antonio Daza. In every lesson, the minutes whiz by so cruelly, leaving you wishing for more time on the floor to master the nuances of cha-cha, foxtrot, waltz, tango, salsa, and other styles. And, oh, the laughter! Odd how dancing with intention makes things so much more fun and carefree, isnt it? In the ballrooms inner sanctum, gone are the days of awkward partner dancing. Each movement is confident, deliberate, and SULTRY. These students are definitely bringing sexy back; I can vouch. The pitch is "dance because you can," the sell is "dance feels good," and the ROI is "dance makes you an altogether better human being." Whether youre in search of a new fitness regimen or just want to shake what your mama (and daddy) gave you in a safe, rewarding environment, please visit Daza Dance. Speak with Antonio, Mario, Masha, and Callie. Youll be all the more fulfilled because of it. (And your promenade wont be half bad, either!)

I cannot say enough about how wonderful my experience has been at Daza Dance with my instructor Irving Becerra! Daza dance has become my home away from home and I always have a ball whenever I step through the door. When I started last February, I planned on coming for a few lessons to improve my Salsa skills. Not only am I still here, but Irving was able to expand my horizons and show my how much fun the other dances are, so weve now added Swing, Tango, Cha-Cha, and Bachata (a dance I never thought Id do). This is a testament to Irvings extremely positive & encouraging personality. Irving and the whole Daza staff have created such a friendly environment, from their teaching methods (very patient but rigorous) to the way that they introduce and acknowledge all of the students as they walk through the door. It is really like a family and I absolutely love the community they have created. I would, without reservation, recommend Irving to teach any number of styles that you might be interested in. p.s.- He also makes Amazing Tamales!! :)

There are moments when the universe has a plan and the magic of life has its firm hand on the rudder. Such was that moment when I started taking lessons at Daza Dance. Little did I realize the transformation that was about to take place. Dancing has forced me to acknowledge that perhaps my soul has an agenda my mind has not necessarily been conscious of. It has forced a re-examination and integration of values with feelings; not just what is felt, but how and why. Awareness, however, must inevitably be accompanied by an ability to navigate unfamiliar terrain - very comfortably and safely. And that is the beauty of Daza Dance; an environment filled with instructors who understand the notion of personal journey and are committed to help each person realize exactly what they desire. The team at Daza Dance is trustworthy, compassionate and very loving. They are part therapist, coach, comedian and momma, daddy, sister, brother, best friend. And they have my true admiration and undying loyalty.

Daza dance has become my home away from home. No matter how badly my day might be going before I get to the studio I know by the time that I leave that I will have a smile on my face! Daza is all about community and is a place of encouragement, love and positive energy. I got started over a year ago coming in by myself with a Groupon pass to the group classes and instantly fell in love with dancing. It has helped me to open up more and feel more confident in myself. I am not a performer and dont typically enjoy being the center of attention, but I am in the process of preparing for my THIRD showcase performance and I love it! The group classes are always a ton of fun, the parties are a blast and my private lessons are one of the highlights of my week. The best part is that you dont have to come in as part of a couple or a group you can just come by yourself. Not to mention that its great exercise that is FUN! - So what are YOU waiting for?? Come on out! We would love to have you be a part of our community!

I have experienced an amazing heart warming atmosphere at Daza Danza with the absolute best instructors. There has never been a dull moment for me when visiting and I have always felt very welcomed, I have seen the instructors at their best. Teaching all students, not everyone learns the same as others, however I have seen how the intructors take special attention to each and every individual when beginning each dance class. Friday night parties have always been a blast watching everyone gather around as family to partake in dance classes and mini competitions at an extremely low price. It is a great way to have a good time and discontinue the task of "couch potatoeing". I highly recommend this place and all instructors are amazing at what they love doing. The person whom I have seen grow has become fascinating to watch on the dance floor, Irving Beccera. Thank you for the experience and the welcoming arms.. You guys are FABULOUS!!!!

This is so long over due...I received lessons to Daza Dance as a Christmas gift in 2011, it took me until November 2012 to inquire about the lessons. Im so glad that I received this gift as I have been taking private lessons from Mario who is one of their instructors since December 2012. My only regret is that I didnt begin the lessons sooner. Mario is a fantastic instructor, he knows how to break the dance steps down until I understand them. He has a tremendous amount of patience and always knows when I need to work on my technique, am ready to learn a new step and he manages to listen to me as well. When I began the lessons, my goal was to improve my posture, tone my body, have confidence while dancing and I have achieved these and much more. If you have ever considered taking dance lessons, dont wait any longer, I highly recommend Mario and Daza Dance.

Wow! Learning to ballroom dance at Daza has been quite an experience. When I first came to the studio I was shy, unsure, tentative. Mario, my first and current instructor and leader came to my rescue. Made me smile, then laugh, have fun, while teaching me steps and then more sophisticated dances. When my lessons are done, I am alive, happy, and feel like I could have danced all night! After a while I started dancing also with Irvin and then Antonio. They have all become a very important part of my life. The warm and welcoming atmosphere in the studio is always relaxing and reassuring. After my lessons I always feel invigorated, renovated and ready to face the world with a smile. I would love to be able to share this place and this experience with all my friends and loved ones. I recommend Daza Dance Ballroom Academy wholeheartedly!
