IM is a true dance school and a social dance community for salsa, bachata, zouk, and kizomba. People come here who are serious about dance and have fun with it. Large classes always split into skill levels giving attention to basics for the beginners. Keep coming weekly and you have a new social hobby or passion.

This is THE place to learn how to dance Salsa!! The instructors are excellent and make it super easy to follow along..they also have different group levels that meet at the same time so you can find where you fit in.

We had such a great experience as beginners! Our instructor was knowledgeable, professional, patient and friendly. We absolutely recommend Inspired Movement to any dance enthusiast.

Lessons are a reasonable price and lots of fun, providing great experience with different people at all levels. The socials are great too! One thing that consistently comes up, is that the classes are often 30-45 minutes behind.

One of the Inspired Movement instructors led a free salsa class at a club I attended with some friends last week. She was very clear and easy to follow for someone like me who had never danced before.

It was really fun. I liked the atmosphere. And the instructors were really great. I was completely inexperienced, but they made me feel very comfortable. The only thing is that the class started pretty late behind schedule.

My first time there the owner gave us a fundamental lesson in dancing that taught me a lot! Very effective style of teaching that made the students relaxed and open to learning. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back!

My girlfriend and I had a private lesson in bachata a few weeks back and it was an amazing experience. The booking process was very simple and I had communication via email with the coordinator the entire time. Nathan, our instructor, taught us the basics and really advanced our connection while dancing.I am excited to go back for more lessons in the future and also check out the group classes during the week.

Shauna was an amazing bachata teacher! Congratulations to her and her quality work! Definitely recommend coming here for dance lessons or just a fun night

I went to this studio to do a Salsa class for the first time and it was brilliant! The instructors were great and I felt like I had learned loads in just one class. Looking forward to returning at the same time next week!

Best social dance studio in town. Instructors are fun and engaging. The curriculum is really well thought out.

Fun! My wife and I came to our first Salsa on1 class with Gerard a few weeks ago and had a blast. We learned new little details that are Improving my game!You should join us!

The perfect place.....and become a great salsa dancer my girlfriend and I tried for the First time and we’re definitely going back....

Had a great time learning salsa and bachata at inspired movement!! The instructors took their time in teaching and constantly asked if we needed any help with the steps we learned! I would recommend going if y’all are interested in learning! Definitely going back!!!

Started Thursday night with my intro to salsa and bachata dancing. And it was incredible. The instructors and owner was great to work with. I leanred a lot. And had so much fun

Whether you’re looking to start dancing or you’re already advanced, this is the place to go!Every class has beginner & advanced groups to join - no need to bring a partner, you’ll meet lots of people! The instructors are thorough and care about your advancement.Their socials are the best - very inviting, BYOB, & really great dancers! Salsa, bachata, Zouk, kizomba & more - check them out!

Great studio for learning to dance and lots of social events for practicing what you learn in class!

I feel like I got ripped off at this location!!! I came in with my card that I had paid for 5 classes and the lady at the desk saw that it didn’t had an expiration date on it and she took it and didn’t gave it back saying it was expired. I bought ten classes and they gave me two 5 classes cards and they never told me that they can expired. I even asked then that when could I use the classes and they said whenever I wanted. I mean if they changed the rules and now the cards expire, I get it but don’t take the cards I bought before they changed their rules. I only got to use two classes out of the 10. They had been rude to me and my friends before and I could take that but not this! Whoever owns this place should take a closer look on how their staff treats new people

This place is such a gem! Amazing instructors, and such a welcoming environment. They do a great job of hosting fun socials as well as bringing in world class talent to keep all of us inspired by new movement! If you havent tried a class here do yourself a favor and give it a whirl

I love the people and the instructors at IM. I definitely recommend the Tuesday night bachata classes and sensual social!

Awesome place! Love the vibe:)

Perks: Large Studio with huge mirrors to practice!General: The studio has affordable dance class packages. I do Kizomba, Zouk, Salsa,& Batchata dances here in particular.As a beginner (like myself) youll learn very interesting moves and get a lot of practice during sessions with multiple partner rotations.After a session the instructor reviews the moves learned step-by-step for you to record for your own keeping.Their social nights (every week) are super fun especially Salsa/Batchata nights.

First time with IM and I loved it!I took the Tuesday SALSA and BACHATA classes.I loved that someone came at the beginning of the class and assessed my level by dancing with me.They are well organized with different levels per class so that anyone can join and learn at their own level/pace.The instruction is so great!I had Gerard for salsa he is fun and upbeat and Nathan for bachata who knew how to make us comfortable with jokes and clear instructions.At the end of each class They take the time to show you what you’ve learned and students can record it too so you can practice at home later!The night I went we had groups of ~10 and equal numbers of leaders/followers. Even with a full room we all had space to practice and rotate between partners and really get a lot of instructions.

Such a fun and great class!

Excellent class!! Very detailed when they explain and excellent teachers!

This place proved to be perfect break from my stressful life. Instructors are amazing and everyone is really friendly. Socials are the best!

My husband and I have been dancing salsa for years and we love this place! The people are great, the pricing is reasonable, and they have a very good AC system. We love their heavy emphasis on bachata and kizomba (our favorites) and we will continue to go here for as long as we live in Austin.

Great place, good music, and fun people!

This place offeres Latin dance classes, one-on-one lessons, workshops and plenty more. The staff are nice and the instructors are well known for their talent and love of dance! Ive attended classes, workshops and socials there and have all been great! Austin loves their dancing zouk but have great bachateros and salseros too!

Great Instructors! Great group of people and environment even for beginners! I like how they have different levels of instruction for the same genre on the same day.

Great place!

Excellent instructors, competent, insightful, very helpful, and they organize and choreograph several of Austins best performance teams. IM also drives many of the best dance socials in Austin - Cant say enough about these fine people!

I was once referred to check out an inspired movement event and workshop a few years ago. At the time when barely started to get into the dancing scene, I was still a fresh beginner that was proud to finally master the basics of bachata. The lessons were explained into great detail and the environment was extremely friendly. Since my 1st lessons at Inspired Movement, I have learned 4 new dance styles and made new friends from all over the world. I like to believe that Ive found a 2nd family and a home away from home. I highly advise atleast taking one lesson from the instructors.

Favian is one of my favorite Kizomba leads of all time!

I started attending Bachata classes with Austin Inspired Movement around March this year. I am glad that this amazing group of talented people exist because they have helped me to grow my dancing skills in a fun and safe environment and also to expand my horizons learning other rhythms.Favian Bustos and the team stay very active providing Bachata, Kizomba and Zouk classes, socials and fun events such as foam parties, boat parties and more. I am hooked to the dancing scene now!!I love the environment during the socials, given the sensual nature of these dances, some people outside the group can get inappropriate sometimes, but that have never been my experience with the guys that attend the workshops and socials. I feel free to dance and express myself in a safe environment and enjoy the dancing to the maximum. Also I like that they encourage everybody to ask for dances. As ladies, we dont have to wait for that, we just ask or get asked.Besides Bachata, I am also taking Kizomba classes, I had the privilege to attend the first Annual Kizomba Fest here in Austin as well as other Kizomba and Zouk classes (thats right, Austin Inspired Movement is bringing Zouk to Austin) and now I am part of the first group of Austin Touch dancers, which is affiliated to the Island Touch Dance Academy.During the Kizomba Fest I meet people from all over US, some of them even mentioned that the dancing scene is not as strong at their hometowns. I feel very lucky that we have this group here in Austin as they keep bringing great and exciting events. Thanks to them I had the opportunity to to meet international talent such as Ataca & La Alemana and Laurent & Adeline Kizomba..and the list will keeps growing!.At the beginning of this year, I was looking for dancing classes...AND I FOUND MUCH MORE WITH AUSTIN INSPIRED MOVEMENT!The classes are great and all the events and socials are really enriching my experience!!

Great place, fun parties
