3 Plus 2 Cuban Dance Academy

"I’ve been dancing socially for over 10 years and I’ve learned more about salsa technique and style in the last 3 months than I have in the last 9 years! The instructors (Carlos, Nicole, and Monica) are amazingly talented and deeply care about their students’ learning journey. Their philosophy is one that is based on learning the mechanics of movement and less on learning a particular turn that you might forget a week later. I consider myself an experienced salsa dancer and I’ve been amazed to see my progression these past few months. I couldn’t recommend them enough! Hands down, they are the best salsa dance academy in Miami ✨"

"Living out of state, I’ve sadly only been able to take a couple classes from Carlos in person, but his online/zoom sessions are fantastic! Not only an incredibly talented dancer and instructor, he’s also an educator who contextualizes these dance forms in a way that consistently cause me to have an “aha!” moment. I really appreciate the time he takes to highlight the intricacies/nuances that make Cuban dance amazing. Really awesome classes!"

"If you’re looking for a knowledgeable dance school/teacher in Salsa and Cuban Afro dances, I highly recommend taking classes from Carlos. He has a deep knowledge of the Afro Cuban culture and the meaning behind the orishas and helps understand better why we move a certain way. He is also very helpful in teaching ways and techniques to help us look better as dancers. His private classes are very beneficial as he gives a recap on what to work on to improve your dancing."

"I took group lessons with Carlos for several years and they were excellent. He is incredibly thorough in his explanations, with never-ending patience. My current schedule does not allow me to consistently participate in his group lessons, so I invested in private lessons with him, and they were worth every penny. He is accomadating with scheduling, and is dedicated to your growth. I look forward to expanding my dancing under his guidance."

"I've been dancing Casino salsa for several years and have had the pleasure of attending many classes, but the experience at this studio, led by Carlos and his assistants Monica and Nicole, truly stands out. Their mastery of dance is evident in every move they teach and in the personalized feedback they provide. What I appreciate the most is their relentless focus on the fundamentals, which is a huge asset for dancers of all levels. It's this foundation that has allowed me to grow and refine my technique, adding layers of complexity to my dancing with ease. Carlos, Monica, and Nicole not only share their extensive knowledge with enthusiasm but also create an environment that is both fun and challenging. The energy in the class is always high, and the community here is incredibly welcoming. Whether you're a beginner looking to take your first steps or an experienced dancer aiming to polish your skills, this class has something for you. I can't recommend it enough for anyone passionate about learning Casino salsa."
