Dance Club Studio will get you up and actually dancing outside of the lessons quicker than anywhere else I've found.

I walked out of my first group lesson in less than five minutes. The instructor started by barking orders at me like I was a child, but then he actually had the audacity to push me. First of all, no man lays his hands on me without my permission. Ever. Pushing me is a fast way to get punched in the face. I walked right out and will never return. Worst dance instruction experience I've ever had.
