Custom Dance Lessons & Classes
Connect to music, yourself and others via dance!
Social dance is one of the most enjoyable ways to exercise your body, engage your brain, and nourish your soul. It’s also a great way to meet friendly people in a fun and respectful environment. No experience or partner is required! I especially welcome complete beginners and self-proclaimed “2 left feet”-ers!
I offer in-person and online custom Individual, Couple and Group lessons:
In Salsa, Bachata, Ballroom, Swing, Wedding and “freestyle” (party/club) dancing, and am available for Events and Corporate Bookings.
My teaching style is enthusiastic, patient & encouraging (great for beginners). I break moves down clearly, build material gradually, and work with you at your own pace in my customized sessions. We build on a foundation of movement, lead/follow (universal to all partner dances), basic dance figures, musicality & social dance etiquette. I give my students lots of attention and intention. I note and celebrate your progress and achievements.
Five most common reasons clients dance with me:
You’re frustrated and/or self-conscious trying to learn Salsa/Bachata at noisy clubs, or group classes that may not explain things & go too fast - (it’s not you fyi! :) )
You’re ready to learn to move gracefully & comfortably (quit feeling self conscious or embarrassed) at parties or for a special event
You’re curious & adventurous to try new things, learn about cultural genres and develop new skills
Deepen connection with your partner, or learn a skill that can help you find one, in a fun, creative way, with a friendly coach
Want to share a fun, inspiring experience for a special occasion with friends or loved ones

Partner dance is a lifetime skill you’ll be proud to master, even if you only learn a few basic moves.
It’s a non-verbal language that transcends borders, allowing you to enjoy it anywhere in the world—even with people who don’t speak your verbal language. You can use it anywhere: parties, nightclubs, weddings, formal events, dates, hoe-downs; with friends, family, and strangers—it’s a wonderful way to meet new people from all walks of life!
Partner dance enhances our ability to be present and connect with others in a positive, considerate, and respectful way. It helps us let go of our everyday concerns and reconnect with our spirits. It improves posture, physical mobility, body awareness, and body image. And of course being alive in your body and feeling great makes you more attractive!
