At least try this hall once, just to say you've been there.

- If you're mainly interested in dancing (as opposed to drinking, meeting
singles, hanging out), this is the best there is in Austin. Big dance
floor, too big to get very smokey, no drunk dancers.

Reader Remarks
- Steve Poole (5/2/96)
- I have taken lessons from Learn to Dance Austin for several years. The
instruction is excellent. The instructor, Ricardo Moncada, keeps
things moving, but he also throws in some humor to keep things from
getting too serious. Classes meet once per week for 5 weeks. Regular
classes include 2-Step, Jitterbug/Swing, and West Coast Swing.
Workshops include Waltz, Polka, Cha-Cha, Night Club Slow Dance, Double
2-Step, Salsa. There is a practice party once a week, with special
dance parties several times a year.
