My husband and I attended here to prepare a salsa routine for our wedding. It turned out great! He explains the steps a great way!

Such a nice and great community and they make me feel like I'm a part of the family. Ivy and David are really nice and have taught me many great things. I have been coming here for years and will continue to come for many years to come. 🤗

This guy is a rip off. He advertise a price for his events but then overcharge at the time of the event. When i asked him politely he refused to give me an explanation. Only answer was that if i did not like it to leave. Very rude & unprofessional. Be Aware of him, his school and himself. Not even a receipt i got. Worst event ever !!!!!

I had a horrible experience with this place. I attended one of their sit-down holiday dinners and performances. I went in and payed $50 which was supposed to include the dinner and dancers' performance. When I realized there were no seats to even get settled, I asked the boss for a refund. I didn't think it was fair to pay $50 and stand the whole evening. I was there for no more than 10 minutes while I waited for him to be available to speak to me. He refused to give me my money back. Instead, he walked away from me while I spoke and laughed. Completely unprofessional and arrogant. Beware!
