"We strongly recommend Tony and Yelena to anyone serious about learning Salsa. Their small class format allows for learning the moves right and mastering them by the end of the session. Tony's passion for Salsa and his ability to teach it well and with a fresh and fun attitude, and with amazing amount of patience, left us with a great sense of accomplishment! Thank you, Tony and Yelena for a great experience. We will look you up for future courses, for sure!!!."

"I completed
Tony's Salsa Level 1 course along with
my husband and with great excitement we have both signed
up for Level 2 without hesitation. I am a teacher and so
I can appreciate the level of instruction that Tony brings
to his class: he patiently breaks each move down with such
clarity that even people who claim to have no dance ability
can follow and eventually look like competent dancers.
He also brings humour and encouragement to his class which
makes the learning fun. I have seen many dance instructors
teach and Tony is by far the best! Thanks, Tony!"

"We have just completed
Level 1 Salsa lessons with Tony. These are the first dance
lessons we have taken. As well as being very educational, we
have found them to be quite entertaining. Tony's instruction
is very clear and logical. Corrections are always made in a
very positive manner."

"I just completed the 1 day salsa bootcamp
with my boyfriend to help get him into the salsa groove! I
was highly impressed with Tony's teaching style. He is clear,
concise, patient and very knowledgable. He takes a small class
through a step by step approach ensuring each student is ready
for the next phase. His enthusiasm is infectious and by the
end of the day he'll have you ready to rush out the door, eager
to try your new salsa skills. Thanks Tony!"

"I would like to express my gratitude to you and Yelena for teaching us Salsa. What you had said about "dancing from the core" and "wait for the lead" and all the tips, all of those are true. Especially so during the salsa cruise last Saturday. I danced with a few other strangers on the cruise, and all the theories became "live". Thank you. What you had said about building a strong foundation, and be able to dance with anyone else, it is so unbelievably true. I had a great time @ the salsa cruise, and if it were not for your classes and after-class practices, it would never had happened.
Thank you and it is my pleasure to have you being our instructor, and to Yelena too."

"After seeing Tony and Yelena's dance style, I became interested in learning salsa and joined their classes. At the beginning, I was often
complimented by my partners on being a good lead. I didn't like receiving those compliments, mainly because I am a girl(!) and I was supposed to be a good follow. After a few months of lessons with Tony and Yelena, I lost my talent in leading and was able to follow the lead instead. They are amazing
instructors, and I truly appreciate their guidance and patience with me.
One other thing that I must add is that Tony and Yelena always insist that if you want to improve, you *need to* go out and dance with different people at least once or twice a week. I never believed them. Maybe it was my arrogance, but I thought I don't need to dance every week, every other week would do just fine. Well.... no! It doesn't work that way. After 7-8 months of taking lessons, I started dancing regularly twice a week. Within two months I was shocked how much I had improved.
If you want to truly enjoy salsa, you need to dance regularly once or twice a week. Listen to the teachers, they know best."
