Salsa Marin Dance Academy

"If you are someone who wants to dance but has not dared to do so, go to SalsaMarin. Mark’s experience and commitment to his students dancing well is remarkable and inspiring. I had hoped to learn to dance the salsa but never expected to understand in addition the history, musicality, and culture of the dance and its many forms. It has been a joy to dance at SalsaMarin, and I recommend Mark and his team to you."

"Mark is a great teacher. He is passionate about music, rhythm and dance, very creative in his teaching methods, and fun to work with. His attention to detail allows me to move with more ease through life and across the dance floor. I feel safe and cared for. Thanks Mark!"

"It's been such a pleasure dancing with Mark and Teri! The group classes are light and fun, super accessible, and really do teach you to dance quickly! My husband and I took a few private lessons, and our progress has been a pleasant surprise. Mark is a talented teacher who will meet you where you are. Give it a try! It feeds the soul."

"Mark is a fun and very attentive dance instructor– he delivers on his promise that it’s not just learning steps but feeling the music and being in sync with your dancing partner. I thought that I knew how to dance BUT dancing with Mark changed my perspective, as there is always room for an improvement. I realized I am just a beginner, which was humbling but same time very encouraging. Mark is very professional and puts you at ease learning perfect steps and new techniques. I started with private classes but now am moving to group class, which is also fun as you can dance with different partners who have their own style under Mark’s watchful eyes. Kat – his dancing partner –gives her female perspective on how to improvise. She is very intuitive and sees every move and how to tune to perfection. They will make you look good dancing!"
