Had a really good time. As someone who can’t dance, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of steps I learned and how it all came together.

We were under the impression that the class was beginner salsa. When we got there, he kept on saying these are advance moves, and with a Coppa style. We paid money to learn the basics, and he didn’t even walk over to help us. I will give them that we were 15 minutes late however, after we arrived, he never showed us any steps and kept on going with the advanced routine. He even confessed that, these moves are more advanced and if we would like to see more packages later that we could stay after. He says he just gets people through the door and then sell bait and switched and didn’t appreciate him wasting our time.

The instructor wasn’t Jose, didn’t catch her name. She was nice and engaging with the kids, our son seemed to have a good time. She was late, but made up for it and made sure the class was an hour. We will probably try this class again, our son had a great time.

Awesome experience! We traveled from GA and It was our first time attending a Latin dance class and we were greeted with a “ southern hospitality” type welcoming from the owners! We felt at home and loved every moment of the class. Highly recommend this studio!

Amazing classes for anyone who wants to learn Salsa, Bachata, and Merengue !! Reminds me of the "Learning for Dummies" books in Barnes n Noble, because Jose breaks down the steps to where anyone with absolutely no experience at all can learn extremely fast and keep up with the best of 'em on a dance floor !! Highly recommend !!!

Jose is a wonderful dance instructor! He is super energetic and his explanations are great! He is very welcoming and creates an atmosphere of collaboration and encouragement. The classes are fun and are a great exercise. Classes are extremely affordable, especially considering that Jose has more than 30 years of experience teaching. If you are reading this, you should try his classes, you won't regret it! :)

I have taken different salsa classes in the US and Jose is definitely the best! He really loves to dance and you can feel the passion. His lessons are comprehensive and I've learned things I never knew after 3 years of taking group and private lessons. His lessons are always super fun too.
