Gonzo worked well with my fiancé and I. We started at zero and my fiancé was a reluctant participant, but by the end of our series of lessons, we have made a ton of progress and my fiancé is even coming up with ideas and asking Gonzo how we can incorporate them. We were just looking for some very basic starting off skills but we will engage him again as we get closer to our event to help us with choreography. Highly recommend!

Details: 46-65 • Two people • Ballroom • Beginner • Preparing for a wedding • 45 minutes • As recommended by professional • My home, venue, etc.

Gonzalo was an excellent instructor and mentor. As an incredibly skilled dancer, he was able to help me begin a new style of dance and ensured I was strengthening my fundamentals before working with a partner. Enough can’t be said about his kindness and expertise!

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.
