About

about our studio

After years of teaching at various big dance studios in the bay area, we envisioned something different—a fresh space where people could truly enjoy learning to dance without pressure or pretense. We wanted to create a welcoming, stress-free environment where couples and individuals alike could feel at home, free from the outdated norms of crowded dance floors, inexperienced teachers, predatory marketing sales tactics and unclear pricing.

At The Groove Room SF, we take a fresh approach. Our sessions are thoughtfully designed to be slightly longer than the industry standard, allowing for a more personal, relaxed learning experience. We prioritize high-quality instruction, hiring experienced teachers who are not only skilled educators but also passionate dancers dedicated to continuous growth.

From your first step to your final dip, we’re here to make your dance journey smooth, enjoyable, and entirely your own.

Why us?

We are the top destination for dancing in SF. Keep reading to find out why!

Private, vibrant Location

The Groove Room is nestled in the vibrant Pac Heights district of San Francisco, minutes walk from Fillmore street and Japan Town. Many couples turn their visit into a memorable outing, taking advantage of nearby dining and leisure options for the perfect date night or afternoon together. Our studio offers an intimate and vibrant space for your dance lessons. Unlike outdated studios or crowded shared rooms, our studio features a spacious dance floor, mirrors, and privacy. We are also proud to say that our parking situation is very good for SF, so feel free to drive to your class confidently (See detailed parking info in our FAQ’s).

60-minute classes

Unlike many other studios that limit sessions to just 45 minutes, we offer full 60-minute lessons at no additional cost. We believe 45 minutes is simply too short to truly immerse yourself in the experience. Our goal is to help you achieve the results you’re looking for, and with over 200 couples served since 2018, we’ve found that 60-minute sessions consistently deliver better outcomes.

experienced teachers

Our instructors are not just dance experts—they’re your partners in creating a fun, stress-free, and totally customized journey. They deliver potent, relevant information in a precise, organized way. If other dance studios deliver “coffee”, we are the concentrated, potent espresso.  You may have seen our instructors at other top bay area wedding and social dance studios previously, but we are so honored to say they are now open for booking only here at our studio. Each of our instructors is developing their own dancing on a weekly basis, so you are taking lessons from current industry pros who perform, travel, take workshops and bring new ideas to the studio.
