Antonio is professional, kind, FUN, and easy to work with! He puts a lot of effort into getting to know his engaged couple’s story in order to truly personalize their first dance choreography. Antonio is patient, personable, and really listens to his clients. He’s truly passionate about sharing his love of dance with others. If he can teach me… he can teach ANYONE! 10/10 would recommend this guy.

When I first chatted with Antonio about wanting to take dance lessons with my fiancé, I expressed how turned off he was when we attempted this in the past. He was very put off by them and I was apprehensive to even ask him again to take some dance classes. After Antonio assured me it would be a completely different experience, I attempted what felt like an impossible mission. In other words, I begged him to go with me just one time to see if it was different. AND IT WAS! He set up the next two classes (ON HIS OWN!). On the last intro class, we had already privately discussed together if it was something that he was interested in taking with me. After of course also realizing I was going to do this with or without him, which meant dancing with someone else, he obliged and went all in on the dance course. Since the first class of our package, he has been on top of asking me about when we are going to practice. He has also surprised me with a Tango session in the rain in our driveway, which he has NEVER EVER even thought about doing until now. Did I mention he has two left feet and is a self-proclaimed air guitar god? He has also come out of his social shell, he is more confident and more importantly he actually likes dancing now! The most important thing to me is he tells me he enjoys spending time learning how to dance with me. The psychology and therapy behind dancing with your partner is so extensive that I would need hours to talk about it but in a nutshell, it truly has been a huge contributing factor to saving and sustaining our relationship. I don’t know if there will ever be enough words to express how thankful I am for Antonio and his talents so until there are I will just sing his praises and recommend everyone to take his classes. Thank you again for being amazing at what you do.

I am happy to share this testimonial of my time taking ballroom dance lessons with Antonio Frias. I was hesitant about the first lesson as I knew not only do I have two left feet, but I have two left feet with broken ankles. When Antonio offered a free lesson for my boyfriend, Brian, and I as a date night, I went along with it. Little did I know how much fun I would have during the lesson and sharing the moments with my boyfriend as well. Now I look forward to my lessons as I have become more comfortable with the dances and muscle memory of the steps is taking over. Antonio makes each lesson fun and engaging in a judgement free zone and each lesson I can see the improvement in my rhythm, footwork, and overall dancing prowess. Dance has also become a good break in my hectic week where I can just unwind and have fun and have the moment of stress relief. Thank you, Antonio, for adding some fun and joy in my life from a source I didn't know I needed! #RealMenDanceBallroom

Antonio was an amazing teacher. My girlfriend and I have never done any type of dance outside of going out on a Saturday night. We were expecting to feel awkward and slightly embarrassed, but Antonio's teaching style had us fully comfortable through the lesson. His style of teaching will stick with you, and you'll have a great time learning to dance under his guidance!

Such a great date night idea! Antonio does a great job breaking down the dances into basic steps that are easy to follow. I'm by no means a dancer, but I felt like one during my lesson!

Dance has changed my life little by little. It keeps me active and reduces my stress. Dance is a really fun way to open new possibilities, to learn, to enjoy myself and to keep myself healthy!

Antonio made our wedding dance unforgettable. He personalized the choreography to our song, prepared us thoroughly, and showed genuine care. We're excited to work with him again!

We met Antonio through word of mouth, my fiancé and I did a free dance class one day in October 2022. Next thing I know, we are signing up for one of his extensive dance programs for a Wedding Choreography. We provided Antonio with our wedding song, he cut it to perfection and choreographed the perfect dance that fit both my wife's and I's skills. The best part was that we only had to practice a few times outside of the studio itself. Antonio's technique is for the studio time/class to be used as practice as much as it is perfecting the routine. Midway through the classes, we become friends and our classes feel less like an instructor giving you orders and more like a personal colleague helping you achieve a set goal.

Dance transformed my life, relieving stress, building confidence, and bringing genuine happiness. It allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and express emotions wordlessly.

Antonio is an excellent dance instructor! My dance partner and I came to Antonio looking for help with lifts and tricks. I was very nervous as someone who has never been confident with lifts in dance. Antonio and his partner were both extremely knowledgeable about body mechanics, how to break down complex topics, and emphasized safety throughout our entire session. I felt very at ease for the entirety of the session. Not only did I feel comfortable with the lifts, but it was such a FUN session! The time flew by! Antonio and his partner knew how to keep the lesson fun and light hearted while learning lifts! I would recommend Antonio to anyone who needs help with learning tricks and lifts as well as dancing!

SO. MUCH. FUN! My husband surprised me with dance lessons with Antonio and he couldn’t have picked a better person to show us the ropes. We laughed so much, learned the basics of 3 different styles of dance and felt at ease and comfortable the entire time. Antonio is patient and your best hype man. He’s easy to work with, patient, funny, kind and a wonderful dance coach. Expect a lot of high fives and witty jokes. We can’t wait for our next lesson and definitely recommend anyone to try them out!

Regardless if you’re a dance beginner just getting started, or expert dancer trying to take your skills to the next level Antonio can help! My wife and I have never had more fun dancing! We have been dancing with Antonio the last few months and it’s been an awesome experience. I have to admit I’m not the most athletic or coordinated guy but Antonio made it easy to and fun learn, breaking down every dance move in a way that I could easily understand and execute. This was time well spent with my wife and has rekindled our love relationship taking us to a higher level of intimacy. We can now dance in public without looking stupid or feeling embarrassed. Not to mention, that dancing is a great way to exercise for those who don’t want to workout at a gym. If you’re looking to for a great time, with the added health benefits of exercise, without the gym that will allow you to spend quality time with your significant other, then look no further! Antonio has cure for a boring evening of Netflix bingeing!

It is with the utmost care I give this testimonial for Antonio Frias. My wife and I now celebrating way too many anniversaries had allowed ourselves to get into the rut of eating dinner, watching TV, and going to bed. Antonio provided us with a weekly date night. An opportunity for it to just be Laura and I and do something way out of our comfort box. We can laugh with each other all while Antonio never jokes or laughs at us. At least not louder than we do. Many times Laura and I are sitting with Antonio at the end of the class and I feel like this guy is more of a marriage counselor than a dance instructor. The facility is first class. The instruction is wonderful. Thank you for being a great coach and even better friend.

What an incredible experience. My wife and I met with Antonio for a date night. Something unique and that we’ve never done before. Our first session was a blast. We learned 4 or 5 different dances. I think 2 words that come to mind about Antonio is Professional & Fun! We had a great time and can’t wait to go back for follow up sessions. I highly recommend working with Antonio!
