Synergy Dance Ballroom

It’s a nice large studio and I go there only because that’s where Pasha Barsuk teaches group and private lessons.
The parking there is not so bad, you can usually find a spot and go out to eat afterwards at one of the many Korean BBQ or sushi places next to it.
However, what really bugs me is the owner’s desire to charge you for practicing after or before your lesson. And the worst part is the way they enforce it — they have cameras everywhere so that they see who was dancing where and for how long. I find it super CREEPY. Why bother showing up to be at the front desk of your business when you can just spy on people through cameras and stay at home? At any other studio, there is always someone at the front desk you can talk to, but not at this one.
On a different note, I noticed that this is a hot spot for elder Asian community to dance and hang out. There is even a group class taught in Chinese! I just can’t figure out for the life of me what style and dance they are teaching in that class. Not any of the 10 ballroom dances I know.
Also, the studio goes under a different name now, it’s Première Ballroom.

Nobody invite to dance. Only couple and older people there.

Highly recommended! My wife and I visited Synergy Dance Ballroom on a chance at their Friday night dance lessons — we *loved* it. Friday nights 7:30PM start time, you get 1−½ hours of dance instruction, in two major dances each Friday, plus open dancing afterward, for only $ 10 per person. Very welcoming to all, very friendly and patient instructors.
They have some more advanced dancers who attend — who you can watch with admiration in the open dancing sessions. They also have many lesson sessions at other times during the week.

This is a great place for dancing at all levels.
We like it because they have a great floor and excellent sound system. Also have their own parking lot, very convenient. This studio has top level dancing and also fun social dancing. No matter what, we always feel comfortable.
This place does great shows and special events, so even if you just feel like watching, the entertainment is super. Love their Halloween parties. Plus the prices are the best in the Bay Area. Cannot beat it!

I started dancing at Synergy Dance Ballroom in Fremont as soon as they opened a few years ago and it’s an awesome ballroom. The place is owned by Hristo Minev and Laura Fan — they’ve been professional dance partners for years, and they are amazing. This ballroom has great vibe — really nice atmosphere and great music. They often have a live band. If you want to learn to ballroom dance «the right way», this is the place to go. And, if you just want to have fun and bust out a few moves, don’t worry, you’ll fit right in as well. They have a huge selection of group classes, which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed, but private lessons with Hristo Minev is what really made the difference in my ability to ballroom dance. I’ve danced at most of the ballrooms in the Bay Area, and this one is my number one choice.

This ballroom has been my go-​to place for dance practice for years. The dance floor is really nice and sizble; the staff are very friendly and patient; what’s more, they always invite world class dance coach to give lectures.
The weekend night parties are pretty fun too — always packed with people, so it is definitely a good place to socialize while having fun dancing. Don’t worry if you have never danced before, because there are always beginner classes in the evening, and the dance teachers will attend the night party too if you have questions.

My husband and I were looking for a place to take ballroom lessons for our wedding reception and were so happy to find one in Fremont.
Synergy has a wedding package that includes 5 45-​minute lessons for $ 375; they also let you add to that if you’d like to keep going, which worked out great for us. We worked with Tim Michaels, who is an amazing and fun teacher who really whipped us into shape.
I have previous dance experience (not in ballroom) and my husband had none but we still managed to dance a great swing routine that impressed our guests! We had so much fun that we’re heading back to Synergy for more classes.
Synergy is well worth your money!

A good place to learn Bachata and line dance.

Hristo and laura are a perfect team when it comes to teaching international standard. Floor is great and mirrors are handy for practice.

Chris is great at teaching the beginning sampler of ballroom dance types. I want to go back, and in my dreams, be good enough to show it off!

Went to our third group class. We have been to most dance studios in the South Bay and on The Penninsula. We have been greeted well. The dance atmosphere is good. The teachers are fun and above average.

We really enjoy Premier. I have been taking private and group dance lessons for years. The quality of Premier’s intermediate and more advance dance classes are very good. Worth going out of your way to get there if you are from the South Bay or Peninsula areas.

They called me up a couple of weeks ago and told me that their signing people up so that way it’ll gaurantee that people will be there so classes won’t get cancel. So I thought ok I’ll go ahead and sign up and try again. Went to the West Coast Swing dance class last Wednesday and LOVED it. My husband and I both had a lot of fun learning how to dance, laughing and making mistakes. This was a great way for us to spend quality time.

Before our wedding, my husband and I wanted something different for our 1^st dance and we thought that since we always wanted to take ballroom dancing so why not learn it before our wedding? We searched around and found Premier Ballroom; the place is nice and roomy with mirrors all around the dance floor. We never expected to find a dancing studio like this in Fremont. We worked with Laura on our 1^st meeting then she assigned us to Tim Michaels on our following lessons and we were so impressed with his teaching skills. He listened to our 1^st dance song and provided moves that go smoothly with it, throughout the process he was patience and instructive. The steps he showed us was easy to learn but looked difficult from the outsider point-​of-​view. Overall, Tim was a great instructor and my husband was very grateful for his lessons to make it through our first dance (our guests were impressed too). Thanks again Tim! We will recommend you and Premier Ballroom to everyone and definitely will try and come back to take more ballroom lessons!!!

My wife and needed to take dance lessons for our first dance on our wedding. To say that I dance like an Elephant on Roller Stakes would be a compliment. My wife do some search and came upon Premier Ballroom Studio. We took a 6 week private lesson wedding packaging that was about $ 300. Each private lesson was about an hour but we often went in overtime to about 1.5 hours without any problems or additional charges.
This dance studio is pretty big. I would have never guessed something like this existed in Fremont. The dance floor is a good size and the sound system they had was pretty good. We brought in our CD of our song and our instructor Ruby listen to it. During the course of the time Ruby was very helpful and extremely patient (especially with me and my elephant feet).
After 6 weeks of private lessons I went from an Elephant on Roller Skates to a Clydesdale. Still not exactly graceful, but I went from having no rhythm to at least getting it every other step.
When the big day came and we did our dance, I forgot the routine. But Ruby gave me enough tips and pointers that I was able to dance my way through the song in front of all our closest friends and family members and people actually I thought I did a good job and were impressed that we were able to do spins and dips and not the traditional box step.
Ruby thank you very much for all your help and for giving me enough dance movies, you earned Premier Ballroom Studio a perfect 5 star rating!

In Fremont you don’t get many chances to learn different types of dance besides taking classes at ClubSport. I’ve only been here once but had a great night with three of my friends. A one hour class and another hour of free practice time only cost $ 5 every Thursday and Friday evenings before 9 and Sunday evenings before 3. I will never never ever win a tango dance off. but had a blast anyways! You can tell they cater to the Chinese community since there is Chinese writing all over the studio but not all the dancers were Asian. The instructors are very talented and most of the dancers seemed to be regulars. Everyone was friendly and no one laughed at us (very important haha). Don’t ask me to demonstrate anything because it will only embarass you and me. Fun night though and they teach all sorts of dance including ramba, cha cha, waltz, merengue, salsa, etc.

This ballroom is unique, they play Chinese ballroom music and the majority of the dancers are asian. You’ll hear Cantonese, Mandarin and English spoken here. Both International and American ballroom dancing is taught here.
