Given suggestions about what muscles to develop a little more to have a better outcome as far as posture and preventing injuries. You get two for one dance and personal trainer.

I get anxiety due to not knowing how to dance and Ernesto took his time and made me feel better about dancing. He is very patient and explains things in a way that makes sense. I would give Ernesto 10 stars if possible, he really is an awesome instructor!

Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • Parent dance (i.e., father/daughter) • Wedding party dance • Slow Dance • Hip Hop • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No experience • At the pro’s location

I’m in my early 50s and have always carried a *deep* fear of dancing, despite becoming athletic after years of weight training! Childhood ridicule, PTSD, and some movement limitations from an old spinal cord injury made me shrink in social spaces where music and movement should’ve lifted me up. Enter Ernesto! From the very first 15 min at the studio, he created a safe, empowering space for me. Pretty quickly he saw through my rattled nerves and gently guided me past it, helping me reconnect with movement to my body in a way I didn’t believe was possible for me tbh. Ernesto teaches with precision, patience, purpose, humor, and refined intuition. He also read my posture, rhythm, energy, and (I think) potential, noticing characteristics of my movement that doctors had overlooked. Ernesto believes in adapting, not dismissively compensating, for what your body can do. Then, within two hours, I already started unlocking a joy and confidence that had been buried for decades. He’s helped me believe that I can dance on the floor at shows, move freely with my husband, and finally take up that space.

Details: 46-65 • One person (one-on-one with instructor) • Salsa • No experience • Developing a hobby • 60 minutes • More than once a week • At the pro’s location

I hired Ernesto for western night at our church. He taught about 40 of us how to line dance. We had a fantastic time with Ernesto!! He was very patient with us, very encouraging and energetic. I cannot say enough good things about him! There is no doubt that we will have another western night with Ernesto.

Ernesto was so great in working w/me, an unskilled beginner of salsa dancing. His patience, encouragement and professional guidance left me feeling like I could really develop all the tools I needed to go out salsa dancing and do well with any partner. I highly recommend his dance services for any style of dancing!
