Ernesto was patient, kind and very professional during my private Salsa lesson. I decided to use private lessons to supplement the dance class I am taking twice a week, due to self-consciousness and the fact that this is the first time I’ve ever had formal dance instruction. Needless to say, it’s a little intimidating for a dude who THOUGHT he had rhythm! From the beginning, Ernesto was engaging, attentive, and tailored the instruction around both my strengths and weaknesses. He helped me to get comfortable “feeling & listening” to the music first, then helped me incorporate that into my footwork and partner dancing. His tips were extremely valuable, and while I’m far away from being the Salsa aficionado I hope to be one day, I look forward to more lessons with Ernesto to improve my knowledge and skill. Thank you, Ernesto!

Ernesto is awesome and gives very detailed one on one attention. He tailored the entire choreography to our skill level and worked us upto good dancers. You’ll come in not knowing how to dance and walkout ready to have your moment in the spotlight

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!
