Review from Kathleen M.

12/4/2010 2 Check-ins Here
I am still in pain from the step aerobics class I took here 3 days ago. The instructor laid it on good, with lots of high energy moves at a rapid pace: I've always felt like I was semi-coordinated but I felt so clumsy in this class. Luckily he took the time to break it down for us for a bit before ramping things back up to a cardio pace. Then, at the "end" of class we did an ab workout that, quite literally, has me in stitches.
I bought the coupon via Half Off Depot and brought it in to my first class (after making a reservation) and they looked at me as if I was crazy. After a bit of time they got everything sorted out and i was good to go, but there was a bit of chaos at the front desk when I first arrived. Luckily everyone was super nice and eventually situated, although my class started about 10 minutes late. I'll definitely be back and look forward to trying out more classes, although all of the impressive-looking dancers around the studio definitely made me nervous.
Oh, and yes, the parking does suck. You can park next door at the Supreme Fish Delight, which is nice because after a workout class you don't want to be tempted by the smell of *good* food.Listed in: EAV., Work it!, Dance it up.

This is a very tricky review for me to give. The dancers at Dance 411 are unbelievable - hands down. With that said, I would only recommend going to Dance 411 if you are a trained, advanced dancer. I went to Intro Hip Hop and it was SO HARD. I felt like I was in a Chris Brown music video audition the entire class! Everyone else was very advanced, and it was definitely not a class for beginners. With that said, if you are an experienced dancer, you will fit right in. It's a great place, but only for the right level of student.

I finally got around to trying one of their pole classes this weekend. They had a $5 deal, so who could resist that? The class was huge, but the teacher had it down to a science. After we warmed up (and she got us warm in about 2 minutes, I was seriously impressed), she separated us into groups, taught the choreography, and then had each group go so all of us got our time to shine on the pole. She even let us try a spin toward the end. I failed miserably, but now I have something to aspire to. I didn't feel like I was working that hard, but I was definitely sweating by the end of class.

I took the Beginner Juice Class offered on Saturday afternoons. It was a full class. Great workout! Awesome choreography. Lesson was done to Chris Brown's "Picture Perfect."
Receptionist was sooo nice. Teacher was also awesome. She was substituting that day for the regular teacher. She made sure that everyone was on the same page. She paused to ask if anyone had questions. The pace was fast but we did each segment multiple times so that at least you can the hang of the routine if not totally down.
Studio is a little hard to find - within a shopping complex behind restaurant (forgot name of that asian place). It's a white building.
Parking's easy - open parking lot.
They offer a deal on your 1st class - $8 with a business card coupon, $10 advertised deal. (That goes for 1st time for pole dancing classes and 1st time for all other classes). -

What a great time I had! I attended class with none other than my leasing agent at the time who suggested this place...So we took the Go-Go Stiletto's class.. which is basically dress how you want.. come prepared to dance.. but.. you guessed it.. wear your stiletto's/high heels.. etc... I've never really attended a dance class before... and especially one that didn't teach you the art of a lap dance.. but it was fun.. a little intimidating and uncomfortable at times ( i mean your shakin' your stuff in front of strangers) but fun... I'd be a fun time with a group of friends!

Here's the 411 on Dance 411 (bwahahah): this place is unique but a bit of a mess. I and a few of my girlfriends bought 4-class Groupon's to be used for their "Ladies Liberation" series, which includes pole-dancing, lap-dancing, and a few other classes designed to allow womenfolk to release their inner strippers. The studio also offers kids and other adult classes in ballet, hip hop, salsa, African dance, and more.
First thing to be aware of is that parking S-U-C-K-S here - their parking lot is TINY and during high-volume time periods (i.e. when classes are releasing/getting started) it morphs into the seventh circle of hell. Apparently Dance 411 has permission to use the parking lots of some of the neighboring businesses on Moreland, but I didn't learn this until my most recent visit, when they finally stationed someone outside to direct drivers out of the over-full lot. Incidentally, every single time I have visited at least one a-hole has decided to park wherever he/she feels like it, never mind that it's blocking someone else in. The staff literally have to march into the various classes and ask these buttheads to come out and move their cars. Who does that??
Second thing to note is that they have NO changing facility other than the (small) restroom - I usually go to dance/exercise classes straight from work, and here I have to wait for a spare stall (there are two) to change in. A little odd for a dance studio.
The first time I visited I screwed up - you have to reserve your spot in class online (I'm used to Dance 101 where you just sign in when you arrive) and when I and my girlfriends arrived, the lap dance class we wanted to attend was already full. The front-desk staff was completely overwhelmed and apparently their online reservation system was screwed up because a LOT of women were arriving thinking they had reservations when their names were not on the list. After waiting to see if their might be any cancellations or no-shows, we eventually decided to head into a contemporary jazz class instead. Total disaster. No warm-up. Acoustics in the classroom made it virtually impossible to hear the instructor. And though it was supposedly a beginner-level class, and I actually have a decent bit of dance experience, I got left in the dust 16 beats into the choreography. After five minutes of looking like complete idiots, we high-tailed it outta there. The still-overwhelmed front-desk staff did not refund our money (we paid separately for the class since it wasn't included in our Groupon package) but did give us a free pass to take another class at a later date.
Our next visit went much more smoothly. We registered in advance for the drop-in pole dancing class, strapped on some stilettos, and headed into a studio that had been outfitted with @12 stripper poles. So. Much. FUN. The instructor was amazing and upbeat. Everyone was there to have a good time. And let me tell you - that pole shit is not easy. I definitely got a workout!
I eventually made it to the lapdance class as well - also very enjoyable, although the instructor at times seemed a bit more interested in entertaining herself than in teaching the class. Still, I learned some, ahem, *interesting* moves that will certainly entertain my gentleman friend should I ever work up the courage to show them off.
One other thing that may ease your mind - the "Ladies Liberation" classes are limited to women only, NO spectators (so don't show up asking to observe a class), and the studio pulls curtains covering all the windows so there are no gawkers staring in. Overall it's a fun and supportive environment in which ladies can feel comfortable loosening up and shaking their stuff.
