"Tony is great to work with! He is professional and knowledgeable. He helped us learn our wedding dance in a few weeks with no dance background. We feel comfortable and confident going into our wedding dance because of Tony!"

"I am now starting my second year doing both group and private dance classes. Tony's experience and time in the dance industry far exceeds most dance instructors in Austin. He teaches Salsa, Bachata, Two-step, Swing, Merengue and Tango. He is very attentive to details specifically with footwork, hand movements and connection. His pricing model works best when you bundle because learning takes time. Group classes at its peak was 20-25 people, so you got to rotate between partners and learn from more experienced dancers. This is also his full-time business and NOT a part time instructor."

"My fiancé and I searched for wedding dance lessons months prior to the big day and we couldn't be happier we found Dance U2. Tony, the instructor, is awesome! He is very personable and passionate towards dance. We started with group classes and learned 2 step and salsa. Whether beginner or advanced, classes begin from learning the basics and then steadily progress. You'll get to work in partners and experience different styles of dance to make you more comfortable. If you're looking for one on one instruction, I highly recommend doing private lessons. Tony has 20+ years of experience and will personalize a dance that will suit you best. Helping you learn to dance is his passion and expertise. He listens to what you want and choreographs dances personalized to you. We've learned so much throughout our lessons and have found joy in dancing when everything is in sync together. Tony encourages you to ask questions, and if something feels awkward, ask and he will pinpoint mistakes that need correction. He's very accommodating and flexible with scheduling appointments and will work around your schedule. Dance U2 with Tony has been a great experience and investment for us and we'd recommend it to anyone in search of wedding dance lessons or simply to learn the art of dance in general."

"Having experience with other dance instructors, Tony differentiates himself by his learning style. Tony starts with teaching-basic principles and developing good habits. The habits like counting out loud while stepping has built a foundation for me in moving forward with my lessons. Private lessons with Tony are a must if you want to succeed. I can attest to that. Tony has been able to notice mistakes that I am making that I would not otherwise know of. Plus, privately we can go over routines till I'm able to do them routine correctly. Furthermore, taking classes with Tony offers many opportunities to practice with a dance partner. Tony offers group classes to help take private lessons a step further. I have noticed that practicing alone can take you only so far and dancing in group classes I was able to correct small errors I was making when trying to lead my partner. If you want to lead, I highly recommend group classes. With Tony you will get an instructor that is knowledgeable in teaching both beginner and advanced salsa and who more importantly wants to see you succeed. One thing I really like about Tony is his patience. Tony always takes the time to re-demonstrate the routine(s) and never gets upset with me. Also, he helps me decipher many things that I find on the internet that I use to help me practice. I can say after a couple of months that my ability to dance salsa has more than exceed my expectations. I hope to finally step out on the dance floor at a club on my own in one more month."

"I bought a Groupon to take salsa classes with Tony; it includes all week salsa classes (Monday and Sunday) and a private class. Over all, I have to say, Tony is a great teacher, specially for beginners. More in detail: a)Group classes were great, specially for beginners since you could practice your basic steps. When you start going further on a medium level the class starts to get slow since it's always new people coming in that need to learn basics. He does not have groups for each skill level and allows walk-ins every day. That makes hard for the more advanced students to continue learning. However the class is fun. b)Private classes were not my favorite, my FY and I wanted to learn new steps since we are dancing salsa in our wedding. The classes were host at Tony's house and even though he is a good teacher, he isn't proactive but rather waits for you to ask something. He won't keep looking how you dance all the time and when he does he won't correct you unless you ask him if you have a doubt."
