Mariia was an incredible teacher, very friendly and patient. My fiancee and I had a great time learning our first dance. Mariia created our choreo and adjusted to our requests on the spot. We highly recommend her!!

Mariia is an awesome dance instructor and choreographer. My wife and I have taken private ballroom dance lessons for 5+ years while we were living in the SF/Bay Area. Mariia is passionate about her work and is great instructor...patient, communicative, and can diagnose problems with a dancers technique very quickly. She is also very responsive and delivers exactly what she commits to. We liked her so much that we already scheduled a follow up session with her. I recommend her extremely highly!

I really enjoyed my experience taking bachata lessons with Maria. She is a talented instructor and taught me both how to improve my current technique and to advance it further I feel much more confident in social dancing because of her and I just had a lot of fun working with her. Would recommend.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Every lesson start with warm up where we repeat all the basic figures of the Latin program (cha cha, samba, rumba, pasodoble, jive) or the basic figures of the Ballroom program (Slow Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Slow Foxtrot, Quickstep) After the warm up, the practice begins with a detailed technique like footwork, arm styling, posture. In the final part of the class, you will learn a new dance routine.
