I really enjoyed Ernesto’s class! He’s very warm, kind, and patient, and he’s very thorough with his dance lessons. The class is beginner-friendly, and he breaks everything down in a way that makes you feel comfortable and confident while learning. His classes are lighthearted, informative, and genuinely fun. He’s also really funny, which creates a relaxed atmosphere where you can learn, have fun, and not be afraid to make mistakes. I would definitely recommend his class to anyone who wants to learn in a welcoming and enjoyable environment.

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 was very approachable and was able to meet us at or experience level which was beginner. He taught us the perfect dance moves to match our song and wedding needs and he kept the lesson fun. We would absolutely recommend him for lessons.

Two weeks before our wedding, we tried to dance together for the first time and quickly realized we had absolutely no idea what we were doing! After just two sessions with Ernesto, we now think we may be ready for Dancing with the Stars.

Ernesto is kind, patient, and incredibly good at meeting you exactly where you are. He videotaped us, gave us plenty of material to practice with, and somehow made the whole process fun instead of stressful.

He has truly rescued our first dance! We may be senior citizens, but Ernesto is making us look like a young couple in love. We are so grateful to him and cannot recommend him highly enough!
