Ernesto was great. He scheduled a time with us. ×as punctual , and provided great value for the dance lesson. We provided our preferred song of choice for our wedding dance, to which Ernesto immediately had insight in lighting, videography, spacing , and of course great dance instructions. He immediately began choreographing movements and steps for our song. We both highly recommend Ernesto as both a choreographer& dance instructor

Ernesto was fantastic! My fiancé and I needed help for our first dance at our wedding. He was very patient and performed the moves with us until we felt comfortable with them. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a great teacher!

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!

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
