Yes, I'm really upset about this. It's the tail end of 2005 now and we still don't have any real ballroom places. I'm just learning so it's tough to keep going when there isn't a place to go to.
I'm looking too, but I want a place with a good vibe. Diverse is fine, but not a bunch of old people.
There are a few places around LA, but none I'd recommend to anyone. If you know of any that plays a variety of music (not just Latin or just Standard), has a good handful of people under 40, and is in LA/Pasadena, please holler. I'm also looking for a good place to take lessons, but isn't expensive.
