I have been taking lessons at Go Dance South for the past year and I absolutely love the people and instructors here. Prior to taking lessons, I had taken a variety social dance class through UT Austins social dance program, but classes at Go Dance really helped me improve technique and expand my knowledge about dancing in general. Their new student special is definitely worth it, especially if you can do a lot of group classes. I did group classes for two months and have been doing private lessons every other week with Juan for the past 11 months due to time constraints. Juan is great knowing many dances and being able to break down the movements so that I can learn things easily or work towards improving a technique that I have been struggling in. Our private lessons are usually a combination of me asking questions, practice, and learning new material. In addition to that, I sometime switch up what type of dances that we focus on for fun (I focus on west coast swing but occasionally ask about other dances or practice some two-step). Compared to other dance studios that I have gone to for lessons or socials, the people here are very friendly and welcoming to people of all ages and levels of dance experience. I would say that Go Dance has a focus on becoming a better dancing and having fun in the process whereas some other studios focus more on technique or solely getting better.

My wife got me a "free" dance lesson for my birthday back in January. Were both in our 50s and have never taken dancing classes. Didnt know if Id like it, but we both really like taking lessons with Juan -- hes the best. Im sure we dont advance as fast as other students, but Juan is really patient with us and makes sure we master our steps before introducing us to new routines. Were having a blast and plan to keep taking lessons until they pick us for one of those "dancing with the stars" shows!My wife got me a "free" dance lesson for my birthday back in January.

We took the Social Survival Honky Tonk Class (it is one approx. 3 hour class. It was just basic steps and a couple of line dances, but perfect as a beginner or as a refresher if you have been off the dance floor for a while. They do a good job of teaching the steps. You do learn to do turns, which goes a long way to making dancing more fun. You can go with a friend or on your own. Everyone switches partners every few minutes in a round robin fashion, so everyone dances with multiple partners so you can get a feel for the way different people dance. Bought if for my husband, who hasnt danced in a hundred years and says he has no rhythm. Now I can at least get him out on the floor, even if he will never be Fred Astaire!

Go Dance is a fantastic studio! I went there knowing nothing about dance, and the environment was extremely welcoming and supportive. I started taking private lessons from Reginald Beason, who helped me decide on West Coast Swing as my primary focus. Ive made great strides in only 7 months, and placed in Newcomer during my second competition, and it was primarily thanks to Reggie. I highly recommend him for anyone that wants to learn WCS, and I look forward to continuing my dance journey at Go Dance with him. The entire staff is awesome, and I have had a blast with group classes and the weekly socials.

I took from GoDance in 2012 until personal events overwhelmed me. I just started back December 2015. They have improved their curriculum since then. My biggest difficulty in 2012 was that the jump from Beginner classes to Intermediate classes was pretty difficult. Today, they seem to have added another level of Intermediate instruction that does not overwhelm me. There seems to be an agenda at this "Second level" to break down the new moves and make sure the class attendees all get before moving on. I, for one, really appreciate this supportive environment.

We went here with some friends for Salsamania a couple of weekends ago. It was a lot of fun. The price was ok at $15 but not at $25 (cost for adding special lessons). One thing I can say is that I felt like the dance floor was large enough that there was room enough to dance without worrying about stepping on or getting stepped on. We looked at going here for lessons a few years back but recall it was an expensive proposition so maybe well just settle for the occasional outing here if invited by friends.

Bought an intro month for my sweetie and me. One of the best things I have ever done. We ended up taking private lessons with Juan Barraza, a patient and thorough teacher, and now a few months later we are burnin it up. And....it just keeps getting better. And....for me it did not come naturally, if you know what I mean.

I have just celebrated my 9th year of being a Go Dance devotee. I started as a social dance student and now dance competitively with Richard Dugger. Go Dance is my major social outlet. The teachers and staff are warm, friendly and make learning to dance a joy!

Amazing dance studio. All the instructors are extremely talented and helpful to people of all ages and skill. They have lots of group classes every week in many dance styles. It can be pricey, especially for college students, but the instructors are worth it

Go Dance is a gem. It is a fun professional studio with top notch instructors. I immediately felt comfortable in my level 1 classes and am now signed up for unlimited classes and private instruction with Juan Barraza.

I was there for a dance party and I had a blast. I will keep going and learn more dances; lots of awesome people there. Staff is kind too. If you have not been, I would definitely encourage you to check it out.

Their services are very expensive. We sat down and talked about realistic expectations, they failed to deliver. Id strongly advise you against spending your money here.
