Gonzalo was responsive to my initial inquiry & provided clear details on options for a group salsa lesson at a party. After booking, he followed up prior to the event to confirm the time & place. He arrived early & guided with logistics to enhance the experience for the dancers. We had so much fun! Gonzalo was prepared with an awesome playlist that eased us slowly through first steps, then picked up the rhythm as we learned the moves. By the end of the lesson, you couldn’t tell us nothing! We 1-2-3’ing left, right, spinning & swaying our hips in delight! I’d book him again in a heartbeat.

Details: 46-65 • 36-45 • 13-17 • 18-25 • 26-35 • A group of 5-10 people • Salsa • No experience • Preparing for an event / performance • 60 minutes • As recommended by professional • My home, venue, etc.

Gonzalo was an amazing instructor. My partner and I booked him for a Valentine’s Day activity and realized we wanted to book more. He was friendly, patient and funny! Better yet, he gave us both confidence while we danced. He was clear and concise about the different moves and even recorded us to look back and learn from. Also had some great tunes to dance to. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking dance instructions. We will be booking again! Thank you for a great experience.

Details: 26-35 • Two people • Salsa • Beginner • Working out and physical health • 60 minutes • As recommended by professional • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Gonzo was awesome! He taught 8-10 guests from all different levels Latin dance, it was so much fun and Gonzo made it easy by breaking down the steps then speeding it up. Definitely recommend Gonzo!
