Ridgewood, NY Salsa Dancing Lessons

I've been teaching Ballroom dance for the last 6 and half years teaching students of all ages, all levels from beginner to advanced, and all styles including wedding dance preparation. Lessons include one on one private instruction where you will steps, figures and choreography of your desired dance and will be able to ask questions and video as needed. With my students in the past I have always used the make your own curriculum approach: you tell me your goal and what you want and I will make it happen! Dancing should be fun! Positivity and patience is how I approach working with my students so that you can thrive and reach the goals and aspirations you have set out for yourself.
