Private Lessons

Why Private lesson?

It does not matter which level you are.

You do not need a partner!!!!!

Do you feel like you often have been going to crowded group lessons and going nowhere with your dancing?
How many group lessons, 3-5, do you need to go to learn what you might learn in one private lesson?
Absolute Beginner: Would you like to learn in detail from the start as an absolute beginner receiving full attention to your posture, arms, footwork, timing and musicality?
Did you notice that you are just learning moves and moves and have no style while dancing?
What makes other people "looking good"at the dance floor and you still worry about moves and moves?
Gentleman: Would you like to improve your lead? Ladies:would you like to improve your following?
For Both: would you like to learn how to make your dance flow from one move to another?
How about learn or improve your music interpretation?
Why does it cost more then a group lesson?
Because you save time, you are taught with precision and details, at your own speed and usually learn faster then group lesson.
Private dance lessons offer you much more gain in a comparable period of time than any other type.
The general rule is that you will receive as much from one private dance lesson as 4 to 5 of any other type
I will provide you with the personalized attention you need and direct 100% of my attention to you.
Can I progress faster in less time?
Private lesson or 1-1 or 1-2 enables you to progress faster and mistakes to be remedied far more rapidly than in a group lesson.
Can I get rid of bad habits?
Full attention is given to the student with emphasis on details, precision, enthusiasm, encouragement, repetition and style.
Which Salsa style do I learn?
I will teach the style you choose: Cuban Salsa, Puerto Rican, L. A., New York, London, La Rueda de Cassino,Cha Cha, Bachata, Merengue, La Rueda and Mambo.

Maria says:

"Salsa is meaningless when it just becomes a sequence of moves to lead and follow. The social aspect only flourishes when the dancers, leader and follower, are sensitive or present with each other and the music and it will flow as one. Music+ dance+ 2 people as 1."

"Leaders need to Practice and Practice and Practice!! That is the only way to improve"

"Leaders/gentleman need to Master your Skill of Leading with precision, clarity, firm, control and ease! It is necessary lots of work/practice to become a fine leader "

"Followers/ladies need to Practice and Practice and listen to your partner. It is fundamental to develop technique, control, to be able to do spins/turns, partner work, style and musicality"

"In other words salsa dance should be about connecting = dancing with each other and just flow (for leader and follower)."

"Dancing for me is about feeling. Feeling my partner, feeling the music, being present and having Fun!"

"The best joy of Salsa for me, is to be able to be playfully, sensual, expressive and connect with the music and my partner!"

Maria teaches with these principles in mind and it becomes fun and human!
