About
I am a passionate Latin dancer as well as a Latin dance instructor. I have been dancing for more than 20 years, exploring different styles such as salsa, bachata, cumbia, and merengue as well as cha cha and Latin Hustle. I have received training from Rumba Brava Dance Company and Salsaymotion Dance Academy, which are 2 well-regarded dance schools in the Seattle area. At Salsaymotion Dance Academy, I previously taught classes for 3 years, sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm with students of all levels and ages. As a dancer, I really enjoy social dancing and meeting new people. As a teacher, I aim to inspire my students to discover the joy of dancing and to improve their skills and confidence. I specialize in helping beginners learn how to Latin dance quickly while having a lot of fun along the way.

My fianc and I took a private beginner class with DJ Juanchata and had a wonderful experience. He broke down the basics in a way that was easy to follow, engaging, and fun. By the end of the lesson, we were dancing to a full song, which felt like a huge accomplishment as beginners. The class felt personalized and comfortable throughout. Were looking forward to taking more lessons with him to learn merengue and would definitely recommend him to anyone interested in learning to dance.

Thank you so much, Karla! It was such a pleasure working with you and your fiancé. I’m really glad you both felt comfortable and enjoyed the private beginner class — and dancing to a full song by the end is a big win! That’s always the goal. I’m excited to help you both continue with merengue and keep building your skills here in Renton. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Great instructor, highly recommend! He is very knowledgeable, patient, and provides honest good feedback to improve efficiently. I am really enjoying taking private lessons in cumbia partner dancing with DJ Juanchata.

DJ Juanchata was a fantastic addition to our annual cinco de Mayo party. He provided us with a fantastic group lesson for bachata with 20 people with great music and vibes. Everyone had a blast and learned very quickly with DJ Juanchata’s help. I would highly recommend him for your next group activity!!

DJ Juanchata just made my yearnay, my decade! Along with his amazing teammate, DJ Maracas, he had the honor (and serious talent) of teaching our party crew cumbia and bachata at my 50th birthday bash. Not only did DJ Juanchata keep the vibes flowing nonstop, he broke down the steps so effortlessly that everyoneyes, everyonehit the dance floor with confidence, flair, and a whole lot of pizzazz.The laughter, joy, and pure fun made it all the more memorable, and this celebration simply wouldnt have been the same without the incredible DJs from LDX Latin Dance. We are definitely going to have them over again!
LDX Latin Dance / LatinDanceX's reply
Thank you so much, Priya! That celebration was unforgettable! Your energy and your guests made it such a fun night for all of us. I’m really glad everyone enjoyed learning cumbia and bachata, and it was awesome seeing the whole group out on the dance floor!
Huge thanks from both of us — we’d love to be part of your next party again here in the Renton/Seattle area!
