GoogleMarcelo is a wonderful instructor! Very knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. I felt myself advancing very quickly with his private lessons. I love that he had resources for dance dresses, dance shoes, and local dance events, as well! Definitely recommend.

GoogleRE: Tango and Salsa One thing that sets Marcelo apart as a dance instructor is that his lessons generally start with an excellent review of FUNDAMENTALS and proceed with beginning and then, when appropriate, intermediate SEQUENCES. This is an ideal balance and rarely to be found elsewhere, where it's all about sequences. :-)

GoogleMarcelo is more than a teacher. He is very aware of each student and helps each student as a coach. I learned important fundamental body movements that no other class or teacher knows how to break down so clearly. The strong foundation that Marcelo gives his students is unparalleled, for example other teachers tell you to stay on the balls of your feet. He teaches you what that means, what it feels like what it looks like and how to implement it with the rest of what a proper frame is.

You have good awareness Jeff. Now you dance smother and keep practicing to make the techniques I mentioned into habit.

GoogleHad a great time at today’s interactive salsa class! Marcelo, the instructor, was fantastic—engaging, supportive, and made learning fun. The extra practice time at the end helps you really remember what you learned. Would love to take his 5 week course sometime.

From not knowing anything and stumbling, to being able to keep up with the class dancing salsa with the music is something to be proud of yourself with. Keep practicing and hope to see you soon again.
