Latin Dancer Studio

This dance studio was a wonderful surprise for me. The school itself is very well managed and offers a variety of dance/​music/​art instruction. I believe the business has been family owned for more than 25 years. The instructors are excellent and demonstrate a genuine interest in their students and in their art. I am not a novice dancer and have taken salsa and bachata classes for years. At the Latin Dancer, I have attended the intermediate salsa and bachata classes and immediately began learning more about posture, style, timing, ways to «play» with the music, expression, etc. The instructors aren’t shy about making corrections, which is why you pay for dance instruction (at least I do). But more importantly, they continuously demonstrate proper technique and do not move on with class until everyone has a firm understanding of what they need to focus on and practice to properly learn the move. I took a Kizomba class once The instructor has interesting views on musicality, timing … and «feeling» rhythms. He offered excellent instruction. At the end of my first class, I felt quite accomplished for someone who had never danced kizomba. I definitely need to find time to learn more about this dance. The instructors I’ve worked with are Patricio, Aldo and Ezri … all excellent instructors and I highly recommend them in any forum of dance instruction. Patricio is the ultimate graceful and truly elegant dancer of all genres he teaches, to include tango; Aldo is the Optimus Prime of Bachata (watch out for those body rolls!) and Ezri is what I call a natural dancer, very smooth lead in all forms of dance. The owner/​manager Susanna is a delight and somehow manages to keep up with all of the students. Some of the students have formal dance backgrounds, and others are true beginners. and somehow, it just all comes together in a good learning experience. The students are welcoming; they are a very diverse, international group. A dance social is offered after classes where students have the opportunity to practice the movements they learned in class. It just doesn’t get better! Oh wait, I didn’t mention their tango classes, special events featuring guest instructors, holidays socials… I highly recommend the Latin Dancer Studio if you’re looking for a «dance family.» Parking is easy; tuition very reasonable.

This family owned studio is awesome. They have multiple rooms with great floor space and excellent instructors. I’ve taken almost all of their dance classes at one point. Tango, Salsa on1, Salsa on2, styling, bachata, kizomba, merengue, cha-​cha, rumba, waltz, & cumbia. I’ve settled into just focusing on 3 for now.
They have group classes and privates available daily. They also have socials where everyone gets together and dances and practice what you’ve learned. I’ve made great friends here at this studio. As it truly feels like family.
I know they offer other classes such as singing, drawing, guitar lessons, piano, and kids dance and toddlers ballet.
I definitely recommend this studio.

Latin Dancer is a wonderful place to learn Latin dance. It is a casual, friendly studio that is family owned and operated. I have been taking private and group lessons at this studio for over a year and truly believe it is a great value. I know that they teach singing, keyboard, guitar, Merengue, Salsa on 2, etc. but I have only taken classes in Salsa on 1, Kizomba, Bachata and some Argentine Tango. Still, everyone looks like they are having a great time and from what I can see, everyone is learning and making great progress. As for me, I can highly recommend.

Had a great experience, learned what I needed too. Ready to hit the dance floor.
Thanks to Susanna and Patrick.
