Knowledgeable Instructor

Miguel has a lot of patience when teaching. I have struggled for many years to understand the difference between dancing on one or two for salsa, but I was finally able to get it. He does not mind taking it back to basics to make sure you understand the how and why of each movement. I am not able to dance along to the best as opposed to just mimicking dancers.

My expertise in dance covers a variety of styles including the fiery beats of Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, and Cumbia, the electrifying energy of Hip Hop and Latin Fusion, and the grace of Mexican Ballet Folklorico.
