The Vibe
You know, if you're looking for a serious dance workout in Houston, Premier Dance USA is where it's at. It's a proper gym, not just a studio, and you can tell by the energy and the caliber of instruction. The main studio space is expansive with really good sprung floors, which your joints will thank you for after an intense session, and the mirrors are spotless, which sounds minor but it makes a difference. They're especially known for their Latin dance classes, particularly salsa and bachata, and the instructors break down even complex moves so well that beginners feel comfortable without holding back the more advanced folks. Weekday evenings, especially around 6 or 7 PM, are their busiest, but the classes are large enough that you never feel cramped. Parking is ample in the lot right out front, so that's never an issue.
