Misha&Dakota

I signed up to take lessons with Misha, but was unable to actually begin them. However, his response time on the app, his scheduling flexibility and his ideas regarding class content were all excellent.

Misha is an excellent instructor. He helped us acquire a strong basis for our waltz dance skills and carefully broke down our movements, showing us how to improve posture and become more aware while dancing. Our classes were very productive and easy to schedule. He is a very attentive teacher, and really cares about his student’s development.

I have taken over 20 Latin dance lessons with Misha and Dakota (bachata, salsa, rumba, chacha). They are definitely very skilled and versatile, as in they will teach appropriately to your goals. (For example, if your goal is to start social dancing, or to learn a certain piece or style.) Compared to other dance teachers, they are also way above-average in knowledge of body mechanics, fitness/nutrition, artistry, and other areas. I like how they don’t over-intellectualize it like some dance teachers can. They are definitely able to keep it fun, which is the most important! They both understand the lead/follow parts very well, and how to explain footwork, rhythm, and possible variations on moves. They can explain moves in a simple way, or in a technical way if that’s what you want. They give you examples of what to do at home on your own for “homework.” Most importantly, they are helpful and passionate about helping anyone feel more comfortable dancing ♥ All my friends/family were super impressed with my skills after my lessons! Book lessons with them today, you will absolutely not regret it!

My friend and I had a great time! Miroslav was patient with us. We learned a lot from him!

I bought this as a gift for my daughter and her boyfriend for Christmas, and though the lessons haven't taken place yet, Misha was sooo easy to work with and so accommodating. I look forward to more work with Dakota Misha Dance.
