I was invited to a free Zumba party on a Sunday afternoon by someone who was going to be starting up regular lessons. I knew it was in Decatur Square so I walked around till I found it– it’s right new to Raging Burrito. I first tried to go into the office space. But more than likely you want the studio space if you are going for a class or showcase. There are various parking options nearby: street, paid lots, Courthouse deck, and other decks.
We were using the downstairs studio space. There is also one upstairs. The studio space had mirrors along the front so we could watch ourselves. There were only a few of us so the room provided plenty of space. We did have to position ourselves so that we would not run into the columns. The temperature was nice inside.
I took a class schedule with me on the way out. There are a number of different classes that cater to different groups. Examples include various dance classes, capoeria (for both kids and adults), childbirth classes, musical theater, drumming, etc. You can reserve the space for an hour block of time.

Love the new space. Very spacious compared to the old space we were in. The downstairs studio is store front and unlike the old space I was practicing have mirrors. That’s very helpful to see my stance while I’m playing. The acoustics there is very loud. I know next time to wear ear plugs. Upstairs is a smaller studio but no shoes allowed inside the upstairs studio. I go here for taiko drumming for Atlanta Taiko Project. Sessions are every second and fourth Sunday of the month. What makes it even better is the location. It shares its location with some nice bars and specialty shops. Bonus the MARTA station is right beside the studio. Parking is a bit tricky but if you park on the street its free on Sundays and holidays.

I took tango lessons at Several Dancers Core’s Buenos Aires Tango Academy last summer. My dance partner and I both were beginners, so we attended the novice sessions that started around 7 p.m. on Tuesday nights. The instructor, a passionate, cologne-​saturated man named Horacio, didn’t give students much individual attention. Instead, we switched partners every few minutes – and the more experienced dancers gave me pointers on my posture and foot positioning. I found it rather frustrating, not because the class format wasn’t helpful, but because tango is an extremely technical art that requires a lot of practice.
If I found another partner, I would like to return, especially since I bought a class package and never punched all the holes in my card.
After the beginners class, the experienced dancers came in for their hour-​long session. It’s amazing to sit and watch them seductively strut across the wooden floor. They’re sort of like a family!
