Fuego Y Hielo Dance Company
About the studio
Fuego Y Hielo Dance Company is an Atlanta-based Latin dance studio founded by artistic directors Fuquan Ferrell and Candace Joyner, operating out of Fire and Ice Studios at 3201 Atlanta Industrial Parkway NW. The studio specialises primarily in Salsa On2 (Mambo / New York Style), Bachata in modern, traditional and sensual variants, and also offers Brazilian Zouk and AfroMambo, with cha-cha and footwork-technique blocks rounding out the schedule. Group classes run Monday through Thursday evenings across two or three rooms, with structured Beginner, Open Level and Intermediate progressions and weekly Friday open practice. The studio is highly regarded in Atlanta's Latin dance community for its technical, body-mechanics-driven approach, with reviewers consistently praising Fuquan and Candace's patience, detail orientation, and emphasis on injury-free movement. Beyond classes, Fuego Y Hielo runs three regular socials each month - The Monday Social (2nd and 4th Mondays in-studio), Mambo Mayhem (every 3rd Saturday in-studio), and Art & Salsa (every 1st Sunday at Buckhead Art & Company). Pricing is class-card based with a $25 drop-in, class packs from $100 to $340, and unlimited monthly options at $215 (Studio Pass) and $250 (All Access). Private lessons are also available individually or in packages from one to twenty sessions, and the team performs and teaches at private and corporate events on request.
Fuego Y Hielo Dance Company was founded by artistic directors Fuquan Ferrell and Candace Joyner. The studio is housed inside Fire and Ice Studios at 3201 Atlanta Industrial Parkway NW in Atlanta, Georgia, where it has built a reputation as one of the leading Salsa On2 / Mambo training grounds in the South-East United States. Beyond classes, the company has expanded into a regular performance and social-event programme - including the long-running Mambo Mayhem 3rd-Saturday social and the newer 1st-Sunday Art & Salsa social held at Buckhead Art & Company - and the in-house Fuego Y Hielo performance company, which holds annual auditions.

"Unfortunately I did not have a great first impression. I was so excited to have my first bachata class. As a first timer, I chose the beginner class. As soon as the class starts there is no welcome to newbies/first timers, no ice breakers. They get straight into a “warmup” wher"
"Fuego y Hielo is the absolute best studio for Latin dancing in Atlanta. I have been coming for several months after moving to Atlanta and it is always the best part of my day. The owner Fuquan is fun and challenging. He wants you to get better and pushes you to grow as a dancer. "
