Hey guys! I'm new here and i have a question. I recently saw "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights" and fell in love with the movie and the dance. I want to start taking lessons but im not sure of any places in southern New Jersey. So does anyone know of any places in South Jersey that teaches Beginner courses in Latin dance? < !--color-->

La Luna Dance Studio (215) 638-0418 in Bensalem PA specializes in salsa. Try Sandra Fortuna's Universal Dance Center (856) 869-0010 in Collingswood for ballroom style latin dancing (dancesport).

Atrium Dance Studio (856-661-9166) at 4721 Rt 130, Pennsaukin, NJ 08110, has a Latin Dance Party on March 20. Its owner Barbara used to teach Sandy Fortuna's Universal DanceSport Ctr. La Luna's owner Sonya is a salsa specialist, and she used to be the manager of Sandy's Universal. If you take lesson from Sandy you will become a superb dancer. She emphasizes the fundamentals, but you must be prepared for receiving laser stare from her if you make mistake. Remember No pain no gain. I was so bad that stares were not enough; she shouted at me. I am very confident with my steps now and I am eternally grateful to her.
