Jose Luis is a phenomenal instructor. He teaches cool turn patterns and teaches proper technique. He keeps a very good structure to the class and there's a good balance between him teaching and the students getting to practice to music. He makes great use of our time in class.

Jose is a great instructor and the studio is a very welcoming environment. I just finished the beginner course and a four week intermediate course. They were both fun and challenging at the same time. I highly recommend this place for LA style salsa!
