Antonio is AMAZING! He simplifies everything and is truly so encouraging. My fiancé and I are greatly enjoying having him help us with our first dance!
I came to the studio for my first dance lesson with my bestfriend and we really enjoyed ourselves. Antonio was very welcoming and patient with us. I am looking forward to coming back to learn more dances. I would recommend this studio for beginners and advanced learners :)
Great ballroom dance instructors!! I have learned so much and feel very confident on the dance floor now that I am learning from the best. I am so happy that I found this ballroom dance studio!!!
This is a great dance studio! Ive been taking lessons here for many years. The instructors are knowledgeable and professional. They also have great personalities and make learning fun! I would highly recommend this studio for anyone, beginners through experienced dancers.
I have been taking dance lessons from this studio for a few years. This studio is a great place to learn dance. The owner is professional and very knowledgeable about dance. In addition, the other instructors are always pleasant and there to help you with your technique -- even when you arent their student. If you are beginner or been dancing for a number of years, this is the place to go!
Avoid this place at all cost.The owner and staff are very rude. The owner actually disrupts his owner instructors class by turning the volume all the way up, so that you can not hear the sound quality. As the instructors clients become uncomfortable, he actually starts golf clapping and sarcastically tells them to keep dancing.He has encouraged his staff to be rude to his 1099 instructors. Their ballroom instructors are boring at best and their staff is rude as well and on drugs half of the time.Dont go there. Its in an awful part of town and you will be wasting your money.
My wife and I have been taking dance lessons with studio instructors for over ten years. The dedication, knowledge and thouroughness are second to none. We highly recommend this studio for beginners to advanced ballroom, rhythm or latin styles of dance.
Absolutely terrible. The owner Stas is incredibly rude. His girlfriend thought our music was too loud during a dance fitness class so she calls him for him to show up and purposely turn the music all the way up, busting us OWN speakers to prove a point? And was mocking us and our instructor. These are paying clients , this is not how you treat them, incredibly unprofessional. The music can not be turned up past a piece of tape. It blocks the volume for going loud and it was not above the tape at all. He was very angry and rude and I felt unsafe. I would never recommend this to anyone.
The owner was rude to one of his contract instructors. He stormed into a class blasted his own speakers. Then proceed to banter the instructor and the class participants with a series of hand gestures and mysogynistic comments. He was scary and loud. I would never feel safe in this place. Do yourself a favor and don’t come to this unsafe studio. No star really.
Ive wanted to take ballroom lessons for well over 20 years. I have friends that were into competing in the 90s that taught me some basic stuff and Ive wanted to grow that base ever since to become a skilled graceful dancer. Im pretty decent, but super out of practice. Hubby on the other hand, grew up in a community straight out of the movie Footloose- ultra conservative Christian with no TV, no music, no dancing. He was permitted to play drums in symphony, but that was the limit of his musical upbringing, and hes NEVER been a dancer. That is changing. My fat ass needs to get back into shape and he needs to improve his cardio function. I HATE going to the gym and dance is my favorite form of exercise, so I purchased an introductory Groupon that includes 3 private lessons 1 group lesson and 1 dance party.We had our first lesson yesterday, and I have to give props to our instructor, Stas, who is also the owner. He sits down with you first to talk about how they run things, what you can expect, and to discover why youre there and what your goals are. He taught us basic dance steps, then taught us the basic merengue and salsa steps with a couple of turns. I was very impressed with his teaching style and look forward to many more lessons - and hope to instill a love of dance in hubby.
The instructors are increadable! The studio is huge! I love the staff as they are knolegable and friendly! I would recommend them to everyone interested in ballroom dancing..
They don’t know how to try people. Awful to run a business, We were in the middle of dance class and came in to put the volume all the way up To distortion! my ears couldn’t handle it! And quick us out from the place, Just because his girlfriend thought it was loud! We the students felt so sorry for our instructor but We are glad we are going to a new place.
Just got back from a lesson, the instructor was terrific! Very friendly and informative, whenever you do something wrong hes not harsh or mean. Totally recommend!
I’ve taken lessons here for years. Such a great and very knowledgeable instructor, and great location. Instructors are all very experienced and personable. Great studio that I would recommended to anyone!
Beautiful ballroom, great dance instructors and such a HAPPY place! Stas makes leaning to dance easy and fun! We are glad that we found this studio!
I would not recommend this studio. They use unethical business practices and seem to care more about making money than dancers welfare. There are much better dance centers in Jacksonville so save yourself the disappointment and dont go to absolute dance.
Ive taken a few lessons here with my mother when Ive come down to visit her. Staz and his staff are all amazing people at what they do and who they are. Slava Ukraine Staz.
What a great place to learn dancing! I highly recommend Absolute Dance studio for its professional instructors, great looking ballroom!
Dedicated, experienced instructors that make learning to dance fun. This studio has a large dance floor and fun parties. A+ studio.
