Francois is an incredible instructor. He is knowledgeable about the history and theory of salsa dancing while knowing how to clearly articulate how to execute the basics.He is a fantastic lead, so all you have to do is listen and follow and before you know it, youre not half bad!!!I am confident that if I had 5 private lessons with him, Id be able to dance socially!! I cant wait to come back to Florida so I can take more lessons with him.100% would recommend!

Thank you so much, Jessica! It was a pleasure working with you. I’m glad you enjoyed learning the history, fundamentals, and technique of salsa dancing. Helping students feel confident dancing socially is always my goal, and your progress came quickly thanks to your focus and great energy. I look forward to continuing your salsa dance lessons in Sarasota, Florida, and helping you grow even more as a dancer. Thank you for the recommendation, and I can’t wait to dance again when you’re back in SRQ!

Incredible 1,5hr that transformed my understanding and ability to follow. My only regret is that I found him at the end of my vacation!

If you are looking for a top-notch ballroom instructor, Francois tops the list with his student-first attention and no-judgement zone. He doesnt rush or push, but instead is a great motivator, remaining enthusiastic and engaged in each lesson. His technical instructions are clear and consistent even as he engages in different approaches to fit my learning style, down to the smallest moment. His background in ballet is an asset with his knowledge of technical foundation and performance, something I look forward to doing again. I have experience in ballroom dancing and specifically chose Francois to enforce my technique and become a better dancer. I have been working with him for a month and have learned so quickly under his tutelage and most importantly, I leave the studio after each lesson with a big smile and future goals.

This was our kids very first lesson with Francois, and we were truly impressed. All three of our children are already very excited to continue taking classes because he made the lesson so fun and engaging. They left the class extremely happy and full of enthusiasm. Francois has a great way of connecting with the people and creating a positive, welcoming environment right from the start. We highly recommend him!
