Dance Academy of Salsa

"This is the place to learn salsa dancing at! Level 1, 1.5, and 2 have a "standard curriculum" where you learn your base moves from which more complex moves get built upon. Once you've got the moves down well in one level, then you'll be allowed to move up. Michael Angelo teaches everything broken down in detail, so you know you're learning it well. Once you're in Level 2 for a handful of weeks, you'll be a ton better than most people that have never had lessons and be somewhat comfortable social dancing. Some people will be staying in Level 2 for a long while to refine their movements. Level 3 is where most people stay for the long term (years). Once you've been in Level 3 for a handful of months, you'll feel pretty confident on the dance floor. Aside the whole dilemma salsa dancers have of On1 vs On2, just learn here. Once you get good enough to have a proper discussion about it, you'll probably be good enough to dance at either timing anyways"

"Such a lovely experience! I have no dance experience but my friend recommended we give it a go. The instructors are patient and fun, the space is clean, and you get to meet a lot of people and dance with them; the nerves instantly drop when you walk through the door—that’s how welcoming it is. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something new to try."

"I love this school. It’s fun and friendly and it’s my therapy. Michael Angelo is an amazing teacher who can gauge your comfort level and still make it challenging enough to help you go out social dancing. We always have a good time in class and the people there come back consistently enough to make the school feel like a home. Michael Angelo has done a really good job in creating community and support to keep dancing. Plus, being a single parent, the option to do drop-in classes makes going so much easier."

"There aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am for the instructors at Dance Academy of Salsa. I made it a goal of mine to take a salsa class in 2023. When I saw that the 4 week Level 1 courses were opening up in January, I decided that it would be a great opportunity to learn! I was so nervous to go to class because I didn’t have a partner but when I arrived on the first day, the instructor was so welcoming and everyone was friendly. Plus we rotate partners constantly so no need to worry! By the end of the four week course, I was hooked! I signed up for the 4 week Level 2 courses, took a few drop-in classes and have now advanced to Level 3! I attribute my progress to Michael Angelo and his impeccable instruction. There’s always new things to learn, classes are fun, and truly have been the highlight of my weeks. I started as a nervous dancer and am now confident enough to go social dancing with other members of the academy, which in all transparency have become like family! Dance Academy of Salsa is the place to come to learn high quality techniques in Latin dancing! (Not just Salsa but Bachata as well!!) This is a top-notch studio and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn a new skill and make life long connections."

"Signed up for a 4-week level 1 salsa class with my husband as a birthday gift to him. It was so much fun, that we ended up taking the level 2 week course and have now been doing drop-in classes. The music is great, everything is broken up into steps and there’s lots of time to practice. Also, if you don’t have a partner it’s no problem, everyone switches all throughout. I’d highly recommend this dance studio for a welcoming, fun, and engaging community."
