About
Greetings, I am a choreographer/instructor and have been teaching for over 15+ years. Come create with me and let's make something special. I specialize in teaching Hip Hop, Salsa, Yoga, Cheer/Poms, Bollywood/Bhangra, & Jazz/Musical Theater at ANY age. I have worked with several media companies and artists in the field of dance including work on TV award shows, movies/tv shows and dance competition teams.
Also, I teach dance fit which includes classes like Zumba & HH for those wanting more of a “fun” workout as opposed to a “traditional” workout.
***You must pay after every lesson, I do not “wait” days/weeks on payments after a class, nor do I accept checks. A deposit will be required…
Let's create and have fun with movement!!!

Carlito is an amazing instructor for our mother-son wedding dance practice. Both of us have no dancing experience at all, but Carlito was very patient in teaching us basic dancing skills and adjusting the choreography so it was easier for us to follow. After 4 sessions with Carlito, we have significantly improved and are ready for our dance (with a few more self-practices). He is always on time, responsive, and friendly anytime we need assistance. I highly recommend Carlito as anyone's dance instrutor

Carlito choreographed my daughter's pageant dance and his work was exceptional. He created a powerful routine that showcased her strengths. As I told him, you could hear a pin drop as she was performing the dance. His choreography played a major role in her winning her title. We are beyond grateful for his talent, vision, and dedication, he delivers at the highest level.
Details: 13-17 • One person (one-on-one with instructor) • Modern / Contemporary • Beginner • Preparing for an event / performance • I'm flexible • As recommended by professional • At the pro’s location

We hired Carlito to work with a group of teens for my son’s quince, and he exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, he was extremely flexible with his schedule willing to meet us at our preferred location but also providing his own studio as an option. That kind of accommodation made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
What impressed me most was how well he worked with the teens. He managed to pull off what honestly felt like an impossible task: getting three nonchalant, too-cool-for-everything boys to dance confidently with three energetic, outgoing girls and do it in a coordinated way while actually having fun. Carlito connected with them, kept them engaged, and turned what could’ve been awkward into something they were excited about.
The final routine was beyond what we imagined. The kids looked comfortable, synchronized, and proud of themselves the best outcome we could’ve asked for.
If you’re looking for someone patient, talented, flexible, and amazing with teens, Carlito is the instructor you want. Highly recommended!
Details: My group of 5-10 people • Parent dance (i.e., father/daughter) • Wedding party dance • Latin • Hip Hop • What my teacher recommends • I'm flexible • No experience • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I based prices upon experience & the amount of client(s) *For example a private or couples lesson would be less than a session with 3 or more people
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My typical process is to first listen the client wants/needs. Once it’s been decided on what you want we create the best possible routine or environment for that client.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 21+ years of experience and have trained with some of the best choreographers/teachers.
