Messina Dance 2603 South Miami Boulevard, Durham, NC 27703

"I have had such a great experience taking classes with my husband at Messina Dance. Steven is an amazing instructor. He breaks down the moves to quickly learn them, patient with the group as they are learning, and is serious about teaching casino/salsa but in a really fun way. We started from beginners and are now part of the intermediate class. We always look forward to his classes on Tuesdays!"

"I had absolutely zero dance experience before I started taking classes at Messina Dance, and now salsa dancing is one of my favorite activities! I've been taking classes since June 2022 and each session gets better and better! No matter your experience level, Steven does an incredible job of teaching the fundamentals in an approachable and entertaining way. The classes are tons of fun, laid back, and the people are so friendly and helpful."

"Great classes, great atmosphere! Steven is passionate about dance and teaching. He provides an atmosphere to learn how to dance without being judged. The Casino classes are fun with great vibes and wonderful people!! You always feel welcome. Steven has been teaching for many years and has built a great community of Casino dancers not just in the Triangle, but also in Greensboro and Charlotte. He also teaches Afro-Cuban and in the past had offered Bachata and Kizomba classes. Very accommodating with private classes and now he is offering on-line courses. If you live in the Triangle or the adjacent cities, or just passing through, stop buy, you will not regret it!!"

"Highly recommended for anyone who’s looking for Cuban dance classes in the Triangle. Steven will make you dance from day 1, no matter what your previous experience is. His classes are very creative and a lot of fun, I can tell by the energy and smile everyone brings to them. He has an amazing YouTube channel with lots of tips to improve your dancing (and to make you laugh as well!). For those who want to improve their body movement, his Afro-Cuban series are great. I definitely love being part of his classes."

"My wife and I have been looking for a dance class/instructor for a long time. We are so grateful to have found Messina dance company. Steven is a very skilled instructor with the incredible gift of teaching. His skill and teaching are only half the story, he is such a nice person, always has an uplifting and fun spirit and brings this to all his classes and students. We are encouraged to see our dance skills progress. Thanks Steven"
