My fiancé and I took a few dance lessons with Ari, and she was fabulous! We really enjoyed our time with her, and she was so supportive and helpful throughout. We didn’t have much dancing experience coming in, but she made us feel comfortable and at ease. By the end, we felt excited and confident about our first dance! We’re looking forward to more lessons with Ari in the future!

Reviews
My fiancée and I absolutely loved our lesson with Ari! She was very straightforward and easy to understand, and the examples she gave us made everything so much clearer. The techniques she taught us were amazing and gave us a much better sense of how to connect our dance to the song. She helped us understand not only the movements, but also the feelings and expressions behind them, which made the lesson even more meaningful and enjoyable. She was very professional, patient, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire lesson. We really enjoyed our time with Ari and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to improve their dancing and feel more confident!
I cannot recommend Ari enough! She is incredibly patient, kind, and non-judgmental, and really takes the time to understand what you need and meet you where you are. She genuinely listens, and if there’s something you want to work on or are having trouble with, she’ll stop and make sure she’s addressing it rather than just moving through the lesson. I had never taken a dance class before outside of one group salsa class, which honestly left me a little deterred. Having one-on-one instruction with someone as encouraging and patient as Ari has been a completely different experience. She makes you feel comfortable while still helping you improve and build confidence. She really works with you at your level and makes the lessons feel completely tailored to you. Whether you’re brand new or already have experience, I truly wouldn’t recommend anyone else for salsa!
Amazing great experience very happy didn’t know I was even capable of doing this and it’s possible which is a great feeling
I was so nervous before my first lesson, but she immediately made me feel comfortable. She’s kind, patient, supportive, and creates a safe space where I never feel judged for making mistakes. Every lesson is tailored to my goals, and I’ve learned so much in just a short time. I genuinely look forward to every lesson and highly recommend her!
Ari is terrific; 5 stars !!!!!!
Ari is very kind, a great teacher, and knowledgeable.
She has a unique ability to teach dance by feel and effectively teach in a way that gets immediate results. It is a relatable teaching method. I highly recommend this instructor.
My wife and I have been taking dance classes with Ari, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first lesson, she made us feel completely comfortable, creating a welcoming and supportive environment. Her professionalism and expertise are truly impressive—she has a deep understanding of dance and an incredible ability to break down movements in a way that’s easy to follow. Beyond technique, Ari has helped us connect with the music in a way we never have before. She tailors each lesson to our pace and ensures we not only learn but also enjoy the process. Thanks to her, dancing has become an exciting and meaningful experience for both of us. We highly recommend Ari to anyone looking for a skilled, patient, and passionate dance instructor!
Ari was very patient while i learned the first steps involved in salsa dancing. She explained everything well, and had a great energy about her. I signed up for more lessons to continue learning.
Ari is very good at explaining things in a way that makes sense to me as a man (physics). Excellent attention to detail. Very patient and very adept at tailoring her instructions to match my needs.
Ariadne is a great teacher. She’s patient and pays attention to the details which can easily be overlooked if you’re a beginner. She assesses where you’re at and builds from there. This helps with motivation and keeps me wanting to learn more. You can’t go wrong when booking a lesson with her.
