I've been taking private tango lessons with Robert, who is fantastic. He makes it super fun and also shares interesting little tidbits about the history of tango, which I really appreciate. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a new hobby.

10/10 experience! We worked weekly with Convergence Dance & Body Center on a choreographed wedding dance for many months. We went from having 0 dance experience to being able to do a beautiful choreographed first dance. We worked with both Roxanne and Robert-- Both awesome, fun people and extremely talented. I was so impressed with the way they explained things, their patience, and their talent. Outside of an awesome first dance at our wedding that we'll never forget and received so many compliments on, we had so much fun every week at our dance practices. They made this experience so fun and special from start to finish. We'd like to go back someday for some just-for-fun dance classes since we had such an amazing experience with them! Would recommend to anyone. They really work with what you want-- whether that's a few classes to learn some basics, or something more elaborate like a full choreographed dance.

My fiancé and I took dance lessons with Carter at Convergence Body & Dance for our wedding first dance, and he was absolutely fantastic! We’re complete novices and dancing definitely isn’t our thing, but Carter made us feel comfortable from the start. He taught us moves that felt natural and helped us choose a style that really fit us as a couple. We can’t thank him enough for making the whole experience fun and stress free. Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful dance studio with fabulous classes! The space is incredibly clean and creatively decorated. Robert is an amazing instructor and an incredible dancer. I’ve always wanted to learn Argentine tango, and now I finally am, thanks to him! Robert’s private and group classes are both challenging and fun. Roxanne and Liz are wonderful as well—supportive, talented, and welcoming.
If you’ve ever thought about taking tango classes, this is definitely the place to start!

We had a wonderful experience with Convergence Body and Dance in preparation for our wedding. My wife and I took three private lessons leading up to the wedding and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome! Robert, our instructor, was exceptional—knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly engaging. He created a welcoming environment that made the learning process enjoyable and effective, even for someone with no prior dance experience.
Thanks to Robert’s clear instruction and thoughtful choreography, our first dance turned out beautifully and became one of the most memorable moments of our wedding. It was a fun and unexpected highlight for our guests, and we’re so grateful to Convergence for helping us pull it off.
We highly recommend Convergence to any couples looking to prepare for their first dance—you’ll be in excellent hands.

Roxanne is a magnificent dancer and a wonderful teacher. After taking her level one West Coast Swing series I felt confident to step on a social dance floor. With my new skills I was able to find the joy of partner dance the first time out! If you are looking for a place to feel safe and have loads of fun- Convergence Body & Dance has your back.

What an awesome dance studio/community! I have taken dance classes at several different locations with several instructors, and the instructors and environment at Convergence are a 10! I have taken Salsa 200, private lessons, and pop-up styling classes. The instructors (Robert, Roxanne, and Oritza) have created such a fun, safe, and respectful learning environment. They teach more than moves; they teach you how to dance and move your body and best practices for engaging with your partner! Classes are fun and engaging! The instructors break things down in a way that makes learning fun. The monthly dance socials are a fun way to use your new real-life skills and meet new people. What a great dance community!

My partner and I just finished the Salsa 101 course and it was fantastic! The instructions (Robert and Oritza) are fun and super knowledgeable. I took the class because I really like dancing but have a hard time hearing the rhythm and dancing to it so I get nervous and tend to want to lead. This class really helped me learn how to follow my partner and relax and enjoy! It was so much fun! We signed up for the Salsa 201 course and I’m very excited to start next week!

I took on Argentinian Tango this summer, it’s been a lifelong dream of mine. Sadly, I came to learn alone as my loved one could not participate. I was hesitant to say the least.
I can’t say enough good things about the Argentinian tango lessons at this studio! I started as a complete beginner, feeling nervous, but Robert’s care and expertise quickly put me at ease. The atmosphere here is not only welcoming but also incredibly supportive, which makes it the perfect place for anyone looking to learn tango, regardless of experience.
The group lessons are fun, structured, and easy to follow, with the perfect balance of technique and practice time. Robert breaks down complex moves into simple, digestible steps that make tango accessible and enjoyable. Every class, you leave feeling like you’ve made real progress!
If you’re looking for more personalized instruction, the private lessons are a game-changer. They helped me gain confidence and refine my skills, to learn how to follow (a challenge for my TypeA personality) and I can’t believe how far I’ve come in such a short time. The studio fosters a safe, inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable learning at their own pace while also making progress as a group.
Whether you’re just starting out or aiming to advance your skills, this is the studio to learn authentic Argentinian tango. The passion and care the teachers Robert and Liz put into every lesson is truly inspiring! Highly recommend!

I've been taking the progressive West Coast Swing lessons and I’m really enjoying it! Roxanne does an awesome job explaining the moves and always offers tips on how to make them your own depending on your style. She focuses more on musicality which I really like and encourages you to add your own personal flair to the dance. It’s been a great experience and I’d definitely recommend taking classes with Roxanne if you are looking to learn West Coast Swing at convergence!

Convergence is definitely the best dance studio I’ve ever worked with. Roxanne is super passionate about dance, and has the extensive background to prove it. That passion really translates when you take classes— she molds each class to teach what excites us and what works for our skill level. I’ve taken multiple skill levels of multiple different dances with her, and she’s great at teaching true basics as well as advanced techniques.
Convergence as a whole also provides a really lovely community for dancers. I started taking most of my dance classes alone, and they make it much less intimidating by trying to foster events and spaces for anyone and everyone who might be interested in taking the leap into a new hobby.
All in all, definitely sign up for that class you’re considering. It’s worth it!

Lessons for our wedding first dance were worth every penny and minute spent at Convergence with Carter! We had no idea how ill-prepared we were for the first dance and how many things there are to think about besides the dance steps themselves. Thank goodness for Carter, who was so kind and patient with us. We made progress at every lesson, never felt rushed, and were super comfortable the entire time. Carter taught the lessons in a way that was perfect for beginners like us, and we are endlessly grateful.

I took lessons from Robert at Convergence for my wedding dance with my fiancé and also my dad. None of us have any background in dancing, but my fiancé, Eric, was adamant that we would take lessons and impress everyone with some choreography at the wedding. We weren’t very good at it, but it felt comfortable and it was a really fun experience. I feel like Robert made it really easy, and we learned so much in such a short amount of time. Everyone at the wedding was super impressed, and a lot of guests said it was the best wedding dance they’d seen. I also felt like it was really reasonably priced compared to the other places I looked into. Eric has asked to practice the dance even after the wedding, and it’s just a fun activity and memory to make together. Thanks Robert!

My wife and I worked with Carter to learn a dance for our wedding day.
Working with Carter was fantastic. Neither of us are particularly natural dancers, but Carter made the lessons a relaxed and fun experience that made it so we genuinely looked forward to each lesson.
When it came to our big day, we felt confident in our dance and it was so natural after Carter’s lessons, that we were laughing and talking throughout the dance. We had numerous people after our first dance complimenting us and being amazed at how well the dance turned out.
I highly recommend convergence if you’re looking for help with your first dance or just learning how to dance in a relaxed and fun environment.

We came to Garth at the eleventh hour to take us from zero to wedding dance in about 6 weeks. Garth was very easy going, loved the song we chose, and walked us through 6-7 moves to incorporate. He was great at proactively correcting mistakes and made an effort to keep it as relaxed as possible. We got a lot of applause at our wedding during our dance and we highly recommend Garth for those needing some lessons for the big day!

I recently had the pleasure of being instructed by Garth in dance, and the experience has been nothing short of transformative. Before I started, I often joked that I had "two left feet" and felt self-conscious about my lack of dancing skills. However, Garth's exceptional teaching abilities and incredible patience quickly turned my apprehension into confidence.
Garth's patience is truly commendable. From the very first session, he created a welcoming and non-judgmental atmosphere that allowed me to relax and enjoy the learning process. His ability to break down complex dance steps into manageable parts made it easy for me to grasp the fundamentals. Even when I struggled with certain moves, Garth maintained a positive and encouraging demeanor, always motivating me to keep going.
What sets Garth apart is not just his technical expertise but also his keen understanding of his students' individual learning styles. He personalized the lessons to cater to my specific needs and progress, ensuring that each session was both challenging and rewarding. His attention to detail and commitment to his students' growth were evident in every class.
In just a few sessions with Garth, I have witnessed a remarkable improvement in my dance skills. I now feel confident enough to hit the dance floor and showcase what I've learned, thanks to Garth's guidance and support. His teaching approach goes beyond just the steps; he instills a genuine passion for dance and a belief in one's abilities.
If you're looking for a dance instructor who not only possesses exceptional technical skills but also possesses the patience and encouragement needed to nurture beginners, Garth is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend Garth to anyone seeking a positive and transformative dance experience. With his guidance, you'll not only learn to dance but also discover a newfound confidence in your abilities on the dance floor.
Thank you Convergence and Garth!

Highly recommend!!! We took private dance lessons with Deepika Gomes for our First Dance for our wedding, and she was AMAZING. We have minimal dance experience, but Deepika was extremely patient and a great teacher. She used different dance styles to match our first dance music and we had so much fun learning it from her. She is thorough, communicates very well, and works hard to make sure you are comfortable and happy with your first dance. We couldn't recommend her enough!!

Deepeka, our dance instructor and choreographer, played a big role in making our wedding first dance a truly memorable experience. Her passion for dance and teaching was evident from the start, as she skillfully tailored her lessons to align with our learning styles. Deepeka has remarkable ability to listen and adapt to our needs. Her dedication and understanding were paramount, especially in how she addressed our challenges, often deciphering missteps and communicating solutions with remarkable clarity and ease.
Deepeka seamlessly integrated our personalities into the choreography, turning our first dance into a heartfelt expression of our story. Her guidance and effort culminated in a performance that was not just a highlight of our wedding but a cherished memory we will always hold dear.
Thank you Deepeka, you are the best Dance instructor and we highly recommend you.

GARTH- great instructor with a super chill personality. Dancing isn’t my strong suit, Garth made me feel comfortable and could put his directions in words that I could understand, no dance lingo. Everyone at the studio seemed super cool and put off the vibe that they enjoyed what they do, it wasn’t their job it was their passion. If you are uncomfortable with dancing, this is the perfect place to start. Come to find out, I’m pretty decent at it, and being a big man, that seemed to blow all the instructors away. Our dance was a big hit at our wedding and we surprised everyone. Thanks again Garth!

We are so thankful to Roxanne who helped us to work through our pre-wedding jitters, gave us the confidence to try new steps, and had us dipping and twirling after just 5 lessons!

We started with group salsa/bachata classes which we recommend to anyone regardless of experience level who wants to learns salsa and meet some great people. Then in the weeks before our wedding we also had private lessons with Robert to practice our first dance. He was always patient with us and taught us new techniques while always reminding us that the most important part was having fun together. He gave us good tailored advice on how to keep it fun and not stressful. Everyone was so impressed at our wedding! We want to thank Robert, Hanna, and Deepika for being awesome teachers!

She truly cares about my progress and goes above and beyond to make sure I continue to improve. She also always accommodates with my busy schedule without any hesitation. Now I have been able to improve my musicality, properly lead a dance, and feel more confident on the dancing floor. I would recommend Hanna to anyone who wants to learn Latin dancing regardless of skill level. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their dance teacher.

Garth is a great teacher. He makes lessons fun. My dancing has improved exponentially.
As an aside, my husband loves Garth too, despite his two left feet (the hubby’s not Garth’s by any stretch). He would leave his own review but is slightly tech challenged. We would give this two sets of 5 star ratings if we could.

Now that the basics are out of way, what I really want to talk about is his musicality, creativity and talent. OFF THE CHARTS!!!! Still waiting for a lesson that he doesn't pull out something new and clever. One might surmise that will never happen. I was fortunate to visit Buenos Aries and dance with several native professionals. Robert remains the most gifted and my favorite tango partner. #grateful

Garth was up for a challenge when he was “chosen” to be our dance instructor for our first dance at our wedding. He's a little quirky, a little (sometimes very) old school, and a lot of fun. He's knowledgable and able to make you feel comfortable while learning and making many missteps and many jokes.
He'll grow more "stern" as you get better as a dance student, just as he'll be more gracious when you're a beginner. He has his way of teaching, but will also adapt if you bring something specific to him that you want to learn to do.
If you learn anything, you’ll learn how important keeping someone out is and how effective dinosaur puppets are at helping you feel like a princess.

I have been doing gyrotonics at Convergence for about a year and a half at the urging of a good friend. I liken gyrotonics to a combination of yoga and pilates. It includes stretching, light strength training and balance work all in one. For me, as I age, the balance and stretching have become particularly important. Roxanne is great at guiding me through the exercises, correcting my form to get the maximum benefit. And, having been recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, I feel gyro is going to help me maintain my balance and posture. Thanks Roxanne!

If you are looking for a fun dance studio with awesome instructors (such as Robert!!), look no further than Convergence DBC.
My then-fiancee and I are total beginners when it comes to dancing and we were only 3 months away from our wedding date. We were initially hesitant about whether or not we wanted to do a choreographed first dance, since all we had was a Frank Ocean song that had special meaning for us. We decided to give Convergence a call based on their excellent reviews, and they were able to match us with the perfect instructor according to our skill level and personality styles.
Over the course of 6 lessons, Robert patiently worked with us to teach us a variety of dance move combinations that really impressed our friends and family on our wedding day! Robert made each lesson really fun and engaging; not only is he an expert dancer, but also he meets you exactly where you are and knows the precise words of encouragement to help make your wedding vision a reality.
Even if you are a total self-conscious novice like me, or rhythmically-challenged like my now-wife, we highly recommend Convergence DBC, and loved our experience working with Robert!

We are way too late on this, and if Convergence didn't deserve six stars, I wouldn't be so sorry. But they do. So, I'm sorry.
Garth was incredible. We had a fairly complicated Waltz we wanted to do, and Garth was able to break it down so even I (the husband and dancing neophyte) could understand. More than that, Garth was fun to be around, and we found ourselves pushing him to stay after class because we just wanted to keep chatting.
The week before our wedding, the venue threw us a big curveball: we'd have to dance on grass. Thankfully, Garth coached us so well, not only in the technical areas of our Waltz, but mentally for when things inevitably go wrong, that we adapted and the dance was still gorgeous, people were still wowed, and we were still able to have a first dance we will always cherish.
Thank you Garth!!!

Convergence was our absolute favorite wedding vendor! My partner and I were total non-dancers and came to Convergence wanting to build some basic dance skills and get more confident moving. Our instructor, Robert, was an incredible teacher and very kind. Robert helped us co-create choreography for our first dance that felt natural, fun and totally reflected our personalities. In addition, Robert taught us some combinations that we were able to use to dance to all of the other music on our playlist. Our weekly lessons became our date night and we really enjoyed practicing in our living room between lessons. Robert, Hannah and Roxanne each seem personally invested in our wedding and cheered us on as our dancing began to improve. Our flowers will wilt and my dress will be stored in the back of my closet, but dance skills are something we can carry with us through life! We are so grateful to Robert and the Convergence team for going above and beyond for us! And, we've already signed up for group salsa lessons when we get back from our honeymoon!

Private Dance Lessons: Robert has improved my dance technique tremendously. He is very skilled at determining dance level, planning skill building lessons, and individualizing the experience based on client needs. Robert is very knowledgeable and professional. Dancing with him is both fun and challenging. I highly recommend Robert if you are looking for an experienced dance coach.
Gyrotonics: Hannah has greatly improved my flexibility and core strength. She is highly skilled at corrective exercise, core strengthening, and muscle strengthening. Working with Hannah has improved my posture and feeling of well-being. As a result, I no longer have low back soreness and I am in much better shape. I highly recommend Hannah if you are looking to get an amazing exercise experience that will improve your flexibility and strength.
Group Classes: The Arm Styling and Rueda classes are great exercise and lots of fun. Roxanne and Hannah are expert instructors that know how to develop your dance skill set while creating a fun environment that encourages and motivates. Whether you are a beginner or advanced dancer you will find value and fun in these classes.

I first saw Carter a few years ago for some issues with pulled hamstrings, and he really helped to take care of that. I've since returned due to some ongoing issues with my left shoulder area. He always does a great job, when I come in, we talk specifically about the area, he asks specific questions on where the pain is, what it feels like, what motions cause it to hurt, what motions are fine. Then he'll tailor the treatment to that area/pain. I think the thing I appreciate the most about him, aside from his caring, kind demeanor, is that he always takes time to answer my questions. He'll explain how one part impacts another, and how that can cause a chain reaction, and how I can try to help myself out by making simple adjustments to things I do. I highly recommend this business!

I have been doing Gyrotonic with Roxanne for several years. The movement really helps my whole body feel better. Roxanne is very in tune with what I have dealt with, and she individualizes the session based on my history and how I'm feeling that day. When the studio had to close for the pandemic, Roxanne expanded her services to include virtual Gyrokenesis lessons. I was able to connect with her via the computer and do the lessons with her from home. After sitting all day over a computer, this was really good for me to move my back and shoulders in a different way. Even through the computer, Roxanne was able to explain the moves and make sure I was doing them correctly. I would recommend both Gyrotonic and Gyrokenesis to anyone with stiffness or back pain for increasing strength and mobility.

I’m so glad we did first dance lessons! I had done very basic ballroom classes many years ago and really wanted us to do something other than swaying to music. My fiancé was a little nervous about the idea but agreed to do the discounted intro lesson. After our first class with Robert, my fiancé and I were both sold! The way that Convergence approaches lessons for first dances is so fun and non-threatening. Robert choreographed an intro and and ending for our dance, and then taught us movements that we could mix and match to improvise the middle. We wound up doing 7 lessons total which were fun date nights that taught us new ways to connect with each other. During our reception we were so excited to show off our dance! Our DJ had a minor snafu in the middle of the song, but we were able to pick it up and keep going. Afterwards, when I was a bit annoyed that we hadn’t hit our ending perfectly because of the music switch up, my fiancé’s first response was that Robert would have been so proud of us for getting back with the music, making it fun, and enjoying it. Tl;dr: We are so happy we took lessons and plan on going back for group lessons soon!

I had so much fun learning salsa and bachata, and made a lot of friends in the class to practice with outside of class. Hanna and Robert were EXCELLENT teachers. The initial salsa class was designed to teach the basic steps, and teach social dancing from the beginning. This let me be able to go out and start dancing in the community earlier, and have so much fun doing it. They made lessons so much fun, I ended up taking them for six months instead of my initial plan of eight weeks.
Robert and Hanna were always available to schedule private lessons outside of practice. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Convergence to anyone looking for dance lessons from beginner to advanced levels!
If you’re looking for something unbelievably fun to do, TAKE THESE LESSONS!

We started class here as a gift and ended up staying for staying 8 months. Taking sequential classes feels like leveling up- you feel better as you dance better.
The instructors change throughout the levels so you always have fresh teaching. Roxanne is a master and everyone should start with learning from her. Robert makes things fun while understandable. Hanna keeps you laughing and was a fast friend. And finally, Carter keeps you healthy so you can keep dancing for as long as it makes you happy.

Take classes here, you will not regret it. 9 months and some good friends after walking into my first class by myself super nervous (almost not leaving the parking lot), I wouldn’t change a thing.

Literally the best place to learn salsa and bachata!! After moving to STL, I learned more in the 8 weeks at Convergence than I did during the 4 years I lived in Miami going out casually learning with friends. The instructors are super fun, shout out to Hanna and Robert‼️

This place. My boyfriend gave me an 8 week salsa lesson for Christmas. We started the first week of January; it’s September, and we’re still dancing at Convergence weekly. Anyone in stl looking for salsa or bachata lessons should come here. SINGLE or COUPLE - seriously accommodate all so that it’s never outnumbered. Love them.

My husband and I had so much fun learning our wedding dance at Convergence. We worked with Hanna and she made it a fun, memorable experience for us both. Our dance was a huge hit and definitely started the reception off on a high note! Can't recommend Hanna enough!

I contacted Convergence DBC to help with the first dance at our wedding reception. Robert was our teacher and he was fantastic! Our lessons were really great and he choreographed some really fun moves for us. For two people that have zero dance ability, I think we nailed it! Thanks again Robert!

I have been taking classes here for about 15 years.
I started with salsa with Roxanne before she even had her studio.
This lead to group classes In salsa, west coast, rueda and Tango. I still take a private Tango class weekly with Robert.
The Tango tours are amazing. Buenos Aires with the BEST teachers in the world.
Whether you are looking to get your wedding dance together, want to compete in Ballroom or just be able to get around the floor at a wedding or a hotel bar on vacation, this is the place.
Friendly teachers that really know how to dance. They regularly take classes themselves.
As well Chiropractic, Massage and Gyro training all top notch.

My girlfriend purchased a class with Hanna for a "Date Night" last Saturday. We took a Salsa class with Hanna and she was AWESOME! She really had me believing that I DIDN'T have 2 left feet. The class was challenging but Hanna put us at ease (mostly me) and was a great instructor. The facility was easy to find, super clean and neat. Parking was not an issue as well. I'd totally recommend them and Hanna and my gf and I plan to take another class there again.

Dr Maier is a wonderful chiropractor. He really takes the time to listen to his patients, and has been one of the best finds for my back and neck since moving to St Louis! He is very knowledgeable and will try different techniques in order to get results. Pricing is very reasonable for the excellent quality of care you receive. The new office is also well equipped, sparkling clean, and easy to get to from all over the metro area. I highly recommend Dr Maier to anyone seeking chiropractic help.

I cannot add anything to the great reviews of Roxanne and Robert's teaching ... but let me add that the new studio on Manchester in Brentwood is a wonderful facility, a beautiful space, a pleasure to be there whether for a lesson, a practica or a milonga (tango social dance).

A group of my coworkers and I took 6 private lessons from Roxanne at Convergence dbc (tango and swing) and we could not have had a better experience. Roxanne is such a great teacher - professional but relatable and made class SO much fun. We looked forward to going to class every week, and we definitely plan to be back! Highly recommend Convergence!!

I rarely ever write reviews, but I HAD to do so for this venue. I own a Fashion label and hosted a pop up on saturday and sunday here at Convergence DBC.
Roxanne was the MOST gracious host I have ever met. She was very accommodating and even allowed us to set up tge Friday before the event.
She allowed us to store our rentals and packages for an extra day to allow for pick up by the third party company.
I know this was outside of our agreement, but she graciously allowed it.
The soace is absolutely stunning, large and clean. We have everything we needed from music to WIFI.
Oh! And very affordable.
Parking was great!
Thank you Roxanne. We will be back

This is the best studio to learn Tango and Salsa. Robert and Roxanne are amazing teachers. They are full of charisma and make the classes a lot of fun. The studio offers a nice variety of classes and overall has a warm and welcoming feel to it. If you are looking for a fun place to learn to dance, you will enjoy Convergence.

Convergence is by far the best dance studio I've ever been to! I have been going for about three years now and I still learn so many new things each week! There are a wide array of classes, of which I have taken salsa and tango (both spectacular). Every instructor is helpful and extremely knowledgeable about every dance style taught there! The classes also range from beginner level to advanced, so there is something for everyone!
I highly recommend this studio for anyone looking to learn new dances and also for more experienced dancers who want to learn even more!
