  Julie, the owner and instructor of many of the Latin dance classes, is phenomenal! She takes such an interest in every one of her students and is great at what she does.  Her enthusiastic and encouraging personality make her perfect for owning a dance studio (as she puts it "welcome to my dream"!)  I've learned so much from her and always look forward to coming to her school! The other instructors I've met have also been great (friendly and great teachers!) but it's Julie's overall presence to her school that makes it a wonderful studio.

  I love the Zumba class at Salsa in the Suburbs.  I have only had 3 classes, but I am having so much fun while trying to get into shape.  My instructor, Carrie, always has a smile on her face and she is amazing.  I would recommend this place to everyone.  Even though I am one of the oldest in the class, I feel comfortable and encouraged to keep on trying.  Thank you Carrie!

  It's time I reviewed my good friends at Salsa in the Suburbs. I have been coming here for about 8 months now and I definitely look forward to the classes. My experience has been solely with the salsa classes. the studio also has Zumba workouts and ballroom dancing.
  
  It all started with a groupon... got me into a few basic salsa class and the rest is history. Julie is a great and patient salsa instructor who will is always energized and will help you along the way.
  Classes are available at different times during the week, and when you buy classes you can use them whenever you want during a set time period ( something like 3 months!)
  The ratio  of men/women is pretty equal, there are plenty of other students who like to hang out here during the week because it's a very social place to be and often come into the class when there is a need for males or females.
  
  I went from not knowing to salsa to joining up in a performance class for the upcoming Christmas party. It feels great to see the progress you make and it just motivates you to come out more and more.
  If you're serious or just curious, stop in because the first class is free for new students and get ready to dance and make new friends!

  Some friends and I put on our dancing shoes, packed a bag of Jack Daniels mixers and headed out for our one hour Salsa lesson and then the 5th Anniversary dance party.
  My boyfriend and I don't dance and certainly nothing as complicated as this.  The only time Salsa has ever come up is when we are eating tortilla chips!!!!  By the end of the night we were beaming with smiles at the fact that we were dancing.... and that we were dancing okay for such horrible two left feeters.  
  It was an absolute hoot of a great time.    
  Julie the owner, and her staff, are absolutely wonderful.  They makes learning so easy and super fun.  
  
  Highly recommended.  Very inexpensive date!  Can't wait to do it again.

  Thanks to Salsa in the Suburbs, I am checking off an item on my life's bucket list: learn how to salsa!  
  
  Located conveniently near the heart of the beautiful Media, PA, there are so many things to love about this dance studio.  Some things that truly stand out:
  
  *Friendly staff -- their enthusiasm for social dance is contagious!
  * Men men men! -- the owner, Julie, has things arranged so that some of the advanced male dancers in the studio come to the beginner classes just in case -- I have never been to a class here yet when there have not been enough male partners for the ladies.  This is an AMAZING thing!
  *Pricing -- the cost of courses here is very affordable and you get a lot of bang for your buck.  Also, they are very accommodating with providing make-up class opportunities if you cannot make all of your classes.
  *Monthly BYOB In-house dance parties -- to practice your new skills and enjoy a night out in an inviting atmosphere!
  
  Don't put off learning how to move with some swagger out on the dance floor any longer. Check out Salsa in the Suburbs, and you'll be glad you did!

  If you want to learn salsa, bachata, tango, belly dance, or work out in a Zumba class, I can't think of a better place to learn. I signed up for an 8 week beginners salsa course here and I can't rave enough about this place so I'll do my best to organize my thoughts below.
  
  -OWNER: The place is privately owned by Julie, who is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet! She does this because she loves the dance and no matter your age, gender or dance experience, you WILL become a great dancer!
  
  -VARIETY: There are various classes of different levels offered throughout the week. There are specials that are constantly running and if you miss a class during your course, you can make it up by taking any of the other classes within that time frame.
  
  -ZUMBA: I missed a couple of my beginner salsa classes so I made it up by taking Zumba (which is led by a different instructor) and if you've never done it, you NEED to. Its a great workout, a ton of fun and anyone can do it; the diversity is surprising!
  
  -PARTIES: They offer all types of parties during the months including salsa parties and Girls Night Out. I haven't been to one yet but I am planning to asap!
  
  -SALSA: Compared to other places, you will learn a lot more steps and techniques in this 8 week course, including dancing etiquette! The people who join are incredibly friendly and fun to dance with.
  
  If you always wanted to take a dance class, this is the best place for you to go. Its affordable, you'll learn a lot and the people are great. I recruited two people from the city to join the class and they willingly make the trip to Media so you have no excuse!
