Testimonial

I am very lucky to have found Maria as my Salsa teacher. I can go to many classes I want but I wouldn't know how to isolate my body and the true techniques behind Salsa dancing. Her lady styling workshop, which I am specially fond of, is a great opportunity for everyone who wish to learn a sophisticated and elegant style. I love the friendly atmosphere but with discipline. I still have a long way to go but Maria gives me such a motivation to achieve my full potential. I fell constantly challenged.

Student Testimonials

There are two reasons why I keep coming back to the ladies' styling workshops:

Firstly it is an excellent workout - I always lose some pounds. Secondly and more importantly, improves my styling and dancing in general.

When I first started the workshop I looked like a piece of rusted metal, I wanted to imitate the teacher's, Maria, movements but my body would not follow my brain's commands.

At the end of the session I thought it was all too difficult and I hadn't been able to memorise any of it. However, the next time I danced salsa unexpectedly several guys told me that I had really improved and asked me if I had been practicing a lot!! Obviously I returned to the second ladies styling.

After the 4th workshop my body is no longer "rusted".

I feel now that my movements are wavier and sexier; furthermore my turns and spins are much better.

I also have quite a lot of fun in that class. Guess what! When I danced again with the guys all of them complimented me on my dancing skills. Great!!..
So I'll keep coming to the ladies styling whenever there's one available... ;-)

Sandra, March 2008

Hi Maria,

Firstly thank you once again for the workshop last Sunday.

It was great, and covered exactly the things I'd been wanting to learn! I think it will take a lot of practice though, before I am ready to use those moves outside the dance studio!!

Alison Davey, July 2007

Excellent workshop.

I decided to go to ladies styling to see if I could enhance my dancing skills by focusing on my individual style and technique. I must say after a few workshops I have started to see significant improvements as well as feeling much more in control and confident in my own style.

Maria is an excellent teacher and really breaks the moves down so that everyone can get them.

There’s never a dull moment and so much to learn"
