A huge thank you to Vanessa for making my birthday truly unforgettable! My wife, Alyssa, and I had the pleasure of taking salsa lessons with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we started, Vanessa’s energy, patience, and passion for dance were contagious. She made learning salsa not just easy but incredibly fun, ensuring we felt comfortable and confident every step of the way.
What really stood out was how personalized and engaging she made the lesson. She tailored the instruction to our skill level, broke things down in a way that made sense, and encouraged us every step of the way. Her enthusiasm made the whole experience feel like more than just a dance class—it was a celebration!
Thanks to Vanessa, Alyssa and I not only learned some great moves but also created amazing memories together. If you’re looking for an incredible salsa instructor who can make any occasion special, Vanessa is the one! We can’t wait to dance again—thank you for making this birthday so special!
Details: 26-35 • 36-45 • Two people • Bachata • Beginner • Developing a hobby • 60 minutes • I'm flexible • My home, venue, etc.

There isn’t enough to say about Vanessa. She is easy to work with, never misses a lesson, and always brings in some new moves to try. She makes you feel at home and comfortable, but also pushes you to go out of your comfort zone and try new things. Overall I’ve had a 10/10 experience, and would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She’s amazing!
Details: 18-25 • One person (one-on-one with instructor) • Swing • Beginner • Developing a hobby • 45 minutes • Once a week • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Lynn and I hired Vanessa to teach, mostly me, how to dance for an upcoming Wedding of our Grandson. I have never taken dance lessons and considered myself a pretty bad dancer. The very first lesson, Vanessa had me not only dancing the Foxy but doing so as the lead. I can’t say enough about how good she is and how easy she made it for me to understand the basics of dancing.
Vanessa taught us two other dance steps and I know that Lynn and I will do her proud at our Grandson’s wedding! Lynn will also be leaving a review.

I had my first ballet private with Vanessa and I loved it! She teaches very well and is very encouraging and affirmative. She helped me improve a lot even after just 1 lesson; I will definitely book with her again!
