Rude!. Rude and Attitude!!!

The space is nice but small in comparison, great airflow! Most instructors and attendees are nice, the dance parties are average to other places.

The owner is a complete idiot, I gave her 3 shots and I have not been back since. All she cares about is her precious money! And that you must give it to her the second you walk in the door! No looking around, no deciding if you are going to stay, no looking at the classes in session. In fact don’t breathe their air until you pay. By the way, the many other dance places I have been to have allowed me to watch and stand around, even dance a song or two before I paid. The lady really thinks I’m going to rip her off her $15. She also doesn’t even know the schedule, I was asking about a particular class and she said it is not offered, I had to show her the places schedule.

Well it has been a few years, and

I live in Alpharetta and have been looking around for some private lessons, I could take with my fiancé (I have been dancing for 6 years now, him not as long so could use a tune up), just called to get a summary of how private lessons work, again an attitude on the other end with a barely answer of my questions.

This is not looking good for me giving them yet another chance.

Working out can be fun!. Geared toward non-dancers, the Latin Workout class at Alpharetta’s Daza Dance Academy incorporates various Latin dances like cha cha, rumba, salsa and samba in an hour-long session that is invigorating, fun and not a bit intimidating. Instructor Melbin de la Cruz went over each dance step-by-step before cranking up the music so we could give it a whirl. Though the tempo of the class seemed to start slow, I felt my heart rate increasing with each passing minute, and the hour flew by before I knew it. By the grand finale, the fast-paced merengue, my blood was really flowing and I was feeling the effects of a true aerobic workout. The Latin dances particularly target your core muscles and your hips, said de la Cruz, pointing out that even the rumba, the slowest of the moves, increases core muscle control. Of course, an added benefit for repeat attendees is an overall increase in physical fitness and improved rhythm as you become more comfortable with the moves, making this an excellent option for exercise buffs and ambitious dancers alike, the latter of whom may wish to progress to the studio’s more advanced dance classes. Super fun way to work out!

Dance lessons- 1 of the MOST fun things I've ever done!. I have been taking salsa dance lessons and bellydancing lessons and I am having the greatest time! Daza Dance is a gorgeous brand new dance studio located in the Alpharetta area- there are 5 ballrooms and the main one is 4,000 sq ft!

I took private salsa lessons with Antonio and he is so patient and such a quality instructor. It was so much fun being able to pick up on all the moves and practice with him regularly. I now feel confident to go out and salsa dance at a salsa club only after a few lessons!

I also take bellydancing w/ Anne Marie and that is a great ab workout too. She is such a wonderful dance teacher and just amazing to watch her perform and teach us her choreography.

I definitely recommend Daza Dance to anyone who is looking to try something different, fun, sexy and uplifting!

Unbelievable Dance Studio - Nothing Like it Around. If you want to learn to dance, this IS the place to go. Their instructors are world class and they have group classes that make learning to dance very affordable.

The facility is unlike any other that I have seen. Everything is "state of the art" and you'll feel very welcome from the moment you walk in and meet the front desk staff to the owners Antonio and Liz!

Forget all the other dance studios, this is the one that you want to go to!

Talent, Class, Passion and A LOT of fun sum up Daza Dance!. Daza Dance is the most amazing studio in the southeast! From the minute you walk in the door, you can feel the energy! The vibrant colors on the walls make you immediately feel energized. Daza is under the direction of Liz Chester and Antonio Daza (quite possibly the most passionate leaders in the industry). The studio and staff are very welcoming and make you feel right at home, even those of us that are not experienced dancers. The amount of talent in this studio is not to be underestimated, there are several world champion dancers. If you are looking for a FUN way to burn some extra calories, there are several fitness classes available also. This place gets 10 stars from me!!!!! Check them out on the web at dazadanceatlanta.

Great selection in the suburbs!!. This store has great choices of Phillip Lim and Development. They also sell the super-cute bing-bang jewelry line. The people who work there are really nice and always helpful. If you like NYC style and aren't afraid to be ahead of the trends of most people in the Atlanta area you should def. shop here!

Great find!. I came across Bloom by chance and it has quickly become one of my favorite stores. They have a lot of my favorite brands that are pretty hard to find, and they have a really good selection of jeans as well. The girls that work there are always really, really helpful too! Truly a gem!
