River City Dance Studio

I wanted to learn to Dance. I contacted several Dance studios and selected River City Dance based on price, and availability for evening and weekend lessons. Yes, after the initial lessons they try to up sell you on more dance lessons ...this is their business, expect it. You can negotiate how many lessons you want to start with. If you want to learn to dance this is a great place to go. Why? because the dance instructors are great and the price is very reasonable. Don't expect them to call you to arrange the lessons. The instructors have lots of students, you take the initiative to schedule them your self. They are flexible, accommodating, and they teach you to dance! more

Very happy with the experience that we had. Started the dance lessons for our wedding but very impressed with Rinel and her ability to not only teach us but make it fun and interesting. She is very knowledgeable and patient with her students. We are very happy that we can do the waltz now for our wedding. The ?social ease? class that they gave as well helped out too for our wedding. All in all for the price and the experience I would greatly suggest that anyone that wanted to learn to dance use river city dance. more

I loved my lessons at River City. I've been to dance studios in the past and felt unwelcome and out of place, but here, the staff made me feel comfortable and even though they are very knowledgeable they never made me feel insecure about being a beginner. more

We decided to finally try and learn to dance! OMG, it is so fun and relly not bad pricewise too.Worth every penny and fun to do somethn together for a change. more

Well for starters, I think the instructor was very helpful and friendly as was Mr. Felix. That quickly wore off after I paid for 30+ lessons in cash. Funny thing is, I arrange to pay for services in two pmts of $450 each, two weeks apart. I was called every week to confirm appt by dance instructor Barbara for only the first five lessons. After that I didnt recieve much encouragement to continue the lessons. In fact, no encouragement at all. I am not a dance teacher or student, I'm a professional who was interested in learning how to dance. I too was interested in western/country, salsa but was taught a lot of slow dancing music that is probably from the 40s. So naturally, this place did feel like once you paid, they were paid, and did not care much for encouragement, as I clearly needed. If you were learning how to play baseball, you would need a lot of coaching and if the coach gave up on you after a few practies you would give up easily. Needless to say I did ask for a refund for the unused dance lessons I paid for up front. Mr. Felix was very rude and said he has a no refund policy. He said he had been inthe business for 51 years and sometimes he would have upset people/ and customers he could afford to lose because "he gets too much business." I mean this guy actually told me that I could sell my unused dance lessons. Imagine that? Customer service at its finest, LOL, but that's what I get for ignoring reviews and not looking around. Pros: null Cons: null more

We took advantage of the famous "two-for-one" deal, hawked by the owner, Mr. Felix. When we arrived at the "dance studio", we were immediately greeted by two things; the stale smell of a Junior High locker room and a rediculously small room, (the size of my dining room) with tacky purple and green walls. A man and his daughter were waiting ahead of us and they politely told us that they were waiting for some information on lessons, so a young man who was already instructing a couple, came over and had us sign in. Pros: null Cons: null more

We recently enrolled on lessons to learn salsa, swing, tejano and TANGO. Think we'll maybe go back and take some more ande be more advanced more

Dance lesson was good, but the "hard sell" afterwards to buy a package made us feel like we'd visited a used car dealership. more
