" Tais made each class fun and enjoyable, and my husband and I genuinely looked forward to each lesson. Our first dance turned out perfect and exceeded all expectations! Overall, such a great experience and would recommend to any couple!"

"The highlight of the whole experience was our choreographer/teacher Brian. We had this wild mashup—starting with a slow instrumental piece and jumping into a jazz number—so we definitely had our work cut out for us! Brian handled it all with kindness, humor, and incredible patience."

experience dance - the groove room way

about us

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to create a welcoming, stress-free environment where couples and individuals alike could feel at home, free from the outdated norms of crowded dance floors, inexperienced teachers, predatory marketing sales tactics and unclear pricing.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

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

Private, vibrant Location

The Groove Room is nestled in the vibrant, artsy Mission District of San Francisco, minutes walk from SOMA and Folsom st. 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 Unlike outdated studios or crowded shared rooms, our studio features a spacious dance floor, mirrors, and privacy.

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.
