"I thoroughly enjoy taking dance lessons and performing with Riccardo. He’s a wonderful and very encouraging teacher who breaks things down well for his students. He is very kind and patient and is a great choreographer who creates fun and challenging routines for our showcase performances together. Sonia, who is also a fantastic dancer, teaches excellent exercise classes designed for dancers. I am currently taking a virtual strengthening class with her and getting a lot of good movement and skills from it."

"I highly recommend Riccardo and Sonia as ballroom dance instructors. I have been taking lessons for 2 years from Riccardo and he is an excellent teacher, with patience and a sense of humor. If you want to dance, go to the WorldClass Ballroom."

"Riccardo and Sonia are professional world class dancers and I feel very lucky to be one of their students. Riccardo is a wonderful dedicated teacher who has a lot of experience that he enjoys sharing, which he does with patience and humor. I have taken group classes with Sonia and she too is a wonderful dance instructor and a great exercise coach. She has made a big difference in my life since she started teaching online balance, stretching and strengthening classes in May that are geared especially towards dancers."

"Riccardo and Sonia are professional, international award-winning dancers and instructors from Rome. They are extremely talented, and have a strong passion to share and teach dancing to their students. I have been training with Riccardo for over 3 years as well as Sonia on special occasions. Their personalized teaching technique not only includes the dance steps themselves but an array of technicalities...such as posture, position of the feet, proper movements of head, arms, and body, keeping beat to the music, and most of all having fun while learning. Since training with Riccardo, I have won first place in various competitions in both the bronze and silver levels. We have also participated in special showcase performances and Riccardo's talent for choreographing these dance routines clearly demonstrates his experience, expertise, and knowledge of ballroom dancing. Riccardo and Sonia are the best and I feel honored to be one of their students."

"Great instructors! My husband and I have really enjoyed our lessons with Riccardo and Sonia. They are incredibly talented dancers and know how to make lessons, performances, and competitions fun for their students. I have also kept in shape during the Covid crisis with Sonia’s Zoom fitness classes. Highly recommend!"
