Lorenz Latin Dance Studio – Glendale

My brother in law bought me 2 months worth of classes. It was okay the first few times, but the classes are crowded and you can barely move. If you’re serious about learning how to dance, I don’t think this is the place for you. There are other places that have a more intimate setting where the instructors can watch you thoroughly and help you with the steps. Because of the large class sizes and inability to cater to everyone, if you can’t get a step down, the class will still move on. This felt like more of a hangout with a little bit of uncoordinated dance then anything else. They should have people sign up for classes as opposed to packing out the house. Also, the layout of the place is weird, it is long and narrow. There is also an area in the back that is elevated a couple of steps. This place is not ideal for a dance studio. And parking in this area is THE W O R S T.
Neeeexttttt.

When I first started, i was about 13, 14 years old. Almost 9 years later and I’m still there. If it wasn’t for Lorenz, I wouldn’t had got the opportunity to perform at certain places such as Madison Square Garden for Aventura or Loisaidas for the Alex Sensation concert or perform live on television for Fox 5 morning news, Telemundo, and NY1 news. Within the studio, not only I have become a better dancer but also grew to becoming a better performer. For everything they have shown me and all the places they have sent me to perform, I am fortunate to teach my students everything I have learned and hope for one day to have them perfrom with me. I organize the kids team in the corona location and I make sure their hard work and dedication brings them places to perform so that their parents can be proud to see what their kids are learning.
The studio has a lot to offer. If you want to learn more outside the group classes, try our one on one sessions (private lessons), participate in our FREE student dance team, or come to latin socials every weekend from 9 – 12 am. The socials are held for you, the students, to come and practice and dance with one another and with the teachers. If you don’t know what is a social, it’s just one big party!!! They play a mix of salsa, chacha, merengue, and bachata. So come and stop by and learn with us :-)

If you didn’t believe my last post, let me give a quick update. I’ve performed 6 times both indoors and outdoors, have had 5 different partners, and now I am a salsa instructor at the studio.
Where else can that happen???
I put the work in, showed dedication, and practiced constantly. It did not go unnoticed. By being a teacher, I’m giving back, paying it forward. So grateful for this unbelievably, amazing opportunity.
C’mon down to the studio and try it for yourself. Speaking from experience, you will not regret it. It can literally change your life.
Ask for Keno (me), Louie or Jackie.

They over pack the classes… not a good place to take classes. It’s really hard to see the instructor and get a good view…1 star for you Dance Studio

My wife and I went for about 3 months. for the first couple of weeks, it was PACKED OUT! It classes are cheap, $ 45/​person/​month, and they really pack em in. people steadily dropped out as time progressed but it was still on the crowded side. Not too much opportunity for 1 on 1 instruction or pointers.
Some friends of ours who are professional dancers said that we may be better off at a different school that has more experienced teachers and smaller classes. we ended up moving on and had a much better experience.
bottom line, its crowded but VERY affordable. don’t expect to become a super salsa king/​queen but if you are looking for the basics, Lorenz is the right place.

This is the 2^nd time i signed up for classes. the first time I signed up with my parents and they had a blast. I didn’t take it too seriously back then but since i’ve become a little rusty with the foot work, i decided to return.
The place is a medium narrow-​ish dance studio and believe me. it gets really crowded. I learned alot more than i knew the first time and I hope that I learn more now that im more focused the second time.
The first hour the instructors fit everyone in rows and you learn steps in front of a huge mirror. The second hour they line up the men and women to practice dancing with a partner. Then you switch to the next person and so on and so on.
This place always got hot chicks. and for the ladies. it got men too (pause)
oh by the way… Watch out with the bald german dude lol

My co-​worker brought me here and if it wasn’t too far from where I live now I would have definitely signed up for classes. I enjoyed every minute of it, heck, I even got to dance with a Chris Brown look alike and I said «g’head, you can slap me up anytime.» LOL.
