Yep! Now your talking MY language. What is it specifically do you want to know?
Its a OK place, I think you'll get a better "ballroom" dance experience somewhere else though.
Avant Garde is a great place if you are a competitior following your teacher (as ALL teachers there are independent - that is they are not associated with any one work place....). They do hold parties, but again, you have to pay for each and every single event you do take.
My recommendiation would be to talk Londance I at McArthur and Harbor (1-714-850-0676). I can recommend a specific teacher if you can give me more information on what you want to do.
Just a word of warning though... it isn't a cheap hobby. But as my friend said... "its going to cost you a bloody fortune and you're going to love every minute of it! "
