Needs some tender loving care, but otherwise this is truly an Oakland gem, with five dance rooms like only New York or Paris could offer. A place waiting for a dedicated group of people to restore it to its old glory if you ask me.

The environment here is beautiful, the environment inside the building is comfortable, there is also a parking lot, and parking is convenient

My husband and I came here a few times to take dance lessons, and do the social dancing aftewards. The instructor is very good, and repeats the steps for you. If you can, take consecutive weekly classes in a series to build on skills. The price per lesson is extremely cheap, and the clientele is usually the senior citizens from the senior home across the street. But that shouldnt detract from the experience. The seniors are all fantastic dancers, and can teach us all a few moves! There are also younger couples such as ourselves learning to ballroom dance together. I like how laid back everything is, and the ballroom in the VA center is absolutely gorgeous. Definitely worth checking out!

There is a petition to keep dancing at the hall: bit.ly/2LXu7rf

How's parking? Is there a lot that's secure?

There's a small-ish lot, free parking. I haven't seen (or experienced) problems when finding a spot. For popular events, you may need to park on the street near by.
