About
I teach beginner level classes (in Midtown Manhattan) of SALSA-ON-1(LA style, the best style for beginners) ,and absolute-beginner levels of ballroom dances (waltz, rumba, chacha, foxtrot) and other latin dances (bachata,merenge,).I have been doing this for the past over 12 years. I teach ONLY PRIVATE CLASSES, mostly in PAIRS/COUPLES, or if you have a READY GROUP OF YOUR OWN OF 4-18 PEOPLE. I simply LOVE teaching, and specialize in teaching absolute beginners/beginners and try to make them have fun while they are at it. I focus a lot on getting the basics right and work on the leading/following aspect of 'partner dancing' which often gets over-looked in group classes. I love that I have a chance to meet so many new people and get to be a small part of their world! :) Its amazing how many new friends I have made through these dance lessons...the best part ever! :)

Arati was so wonderful to work with! We hired her to help us learn a few basic dance steps for our wedding since both my fiance and I have two left feet :) We only purchased the 4 pack of lessons, but she ended up choreographing our entire first dance for us! We were so pleasantly surprised at how much fun we had at each lesson and how quickly we were able to learn. Arati was great at teaching us as beginners and very patient with us as we fumbled through a few steps. Her communication was also excellent - always quick to respond and very personable! I would definitely recommend her to any couple looking for wedding dance lessons, you will not be let down. Thank you Arati!!!

Arati has been amazing to work with. I started lessons to figure out the basics since I had no clue how to dance... at all. She has been extremely patient, kind and helpful. She makes me feel very comfortable during the classes and has been very responsive and flexible. She has exceeded all expectations.

Arati is very friendly and make the learning process very pleasant. Me and my husband are complete beginners to anyone dance style but we learned dancing waltz (the blue denube) at our wedding and people are impressed.

Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • Waltz • What my teacher recommends • Latin • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No song preference • No experience • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Arati was exactly what we needed! We had a great experience with her wedding dance lessons, she was able to take the two of us who are very inexperienced and knew nothing to prepare an awesome dance! She has a lot of patience, easy to schedule with and great sense of humor, we had a great time working with her!

Details: Two (e.g., myself and my husband) • First dance • What my teacher recommends • Beginner • Once a week • 60 minutes • Thursday • Friday • Evening (after 6pm) • I travel to the wedding dance instructor
