Short little Mexicans. Can't live with them, and you definitely can't live without out them. Especially when they can shake their hips better than your girlfriend, and then help you learn how, as is the case with the owner/manager(?), a Mr. Remos. (Their great food is another reason!)\r

I am sure they offer private dance lessons, but on Friday nights this Salsa Dance studio is open to the public. I went with my sister, as going with someone you know is always more fun, but dance partners are not required. (As this was my first time and her second, we weren't even in the same group.) There is a five dollar fee, which is really nothing with all the fun to be had.\r

The instructors seem to be a hilarious bunch (at least ours was). Her name was Timmy (I think ^^), red-headed, and apparently a school teacher somewhere, but definitely very outgoing and a great instructor. The atmosphere was fantastic! I am definitely hooked and will be going back.\r

Each level got in its own circle, and every guy in the group danced with every girl. Generally after each round practicing the steps, you switch partners. There must have been between 45 - 60 people there!\r

The dance studio is above some cloud futon and furniture store. You get to it through this unmarked red door surrounded by a white painted door frame. The studio is up the stairs and to the left. The room is air conditioned but it still gets very warm with everyone dancing, although I guess the A/C sometimes doesn't work.\r

Registration starts at 7:30pm ($5) and the lessons last from 8pm to maybe 9:30pm. But you can stay and dance until midnight according to their website. I didn't stay for the dancing afterward, so I can't attest to how many people stick around, but I might stay later if I learn more moves.
