We are all about to go on a journey into the Houston dance scene together over the next few minutes. Getting the ball rolling will be a list of the best dance schools and studios in your area.
Some of you are probably searching for lessons for kids, others will be for adults, but either way you should be able to find one that suits your needs. It is likely that there will be classes for Samba, Salsa, Hip Hop, Ballet, Tango, The Waltz, K-Pop, or other styles and routines somewhere and we will do our best to help you find them.

After the lessons are out of the way it will be time to pivot to some of the best dance clubs and bars near you. There will be stores around where you can buy shoes, clothes, and other supplies that we will be mentioning.
Aerobic dance routine workouts like Zumba, Jazzercise, Barre, Buti Yoga, or even Pole Dancing in Houston are becoming more popular by the day so will need a shout out. Then we will get into local dance and music festivals both here and around the region.
Stick around for our map that will help you get a better lay of the land. And anyone that is interested can check out more of our posts on everything about dance in the Midwest at that link.
