Ernesto is an AWESOME teacher! We hired him for our first dance lesson thus far and I went in nervous with little confidence. Ended the hour excited and confident for the next couple lessons!

Very patient and really enjoyed it. Great teacher
I really enjoyed Ernesto’s class! He’s very warm, kind, and patient, and he’s very thorough with his dance lessons. The class is beginner-friendly, and he breaks everything down in a way that makes you feel comfortable and confident while learning. His classes are lighthearted, informative, and genuinely fun. He’s also really funny, which creates a relaxed atmosphere where you can learn, have fun, and not be afraid to make mistakes. I would definitely recommend his class to anyone who wants to learn in a welcoming and enjoyable environment.
Ernesto was absolutely AMAZING!! We had a girls weekend here in Dallas and he came to my house and taught us all line dancing!! There were eight of us and he fit right in with the vibe, I couldn’t have possibly chosen a better person for this!! 10 out of 10 highly recommend!! Thank you Ernesto!! It was the highlight of the entire trip!!
Ernesto was patient, kind and very professional during my private Salsa lesson. I decided to use private lessons to supplement the dance class I am taking twice a week, due to self-consciousness and the fact that this is the first time I’ve ever had formal dance instruction. Needless to say, it’s a little intimidating for a dude who THOUGHT he had rhythm! From the beginning, Ernesto was engaging, attentive, and tailored the instruction around both my strengths and weaknesses. He helped me to get comfortable “feeling & listening” to the music first, then helped me incorporate that into my footwork and partner dancing. His tips were extremely valuable, and while I’m far away from being the Salsa aficionado I hope to be one day, I look forward to more lessons with Ernesto to improve my knowledge and skill. Thank you, Ernesto!
Great instructor and teacher
Ernesto is awesome and gives very detailed one on one attention. He tailored the entire choreography to our skill level and worked us upto good dancers. You’ll come in not knowing how to dance and walkout ready to have your moment in the spotlight
Ernesto is an excellent dance instructor. He gives very clear instructions and makes it fun and puts emphasis on the physical part. Given suggestions about what muscles to develop a little more to have a better outcome as far as posture and preventing injuries. You get two for one dance and personal trainer.
I’m in my early 50s and have always carried a *deep* fear of dancing, despite becoming athletic after years of weight training! Childhood ridicule, PTSD, and some movement limitations from an old spinal cord injury made me shrink in social spaces where music and movement should’ve lifted me up. Enter Ernesto! From the very first 15 min at the studio, he created a safe, empowering space for me. Pretty quickly he saw through my rattled nerves and gently guided me past it, helping me reconnect with movement to my body in a way I didn’t believe was possible for me tbh. Ernesto teaches with precision, patience, purpose, humor, and refined intuition. He also read my posture, rhythm, energy, and (I think) potential, noticing characteristics of my movement that doctors had overlooked. Ernesto believes in adapting, not dismissively compensating, for what your body can do. Then, within two hours, I already started unlocking a joy and confidence that had been buried for decades. He’s helped me believe that I can dance on the floor at shows, move freely with my husband, and finally take up that space.
I hired Ernesto for western night at our church. He taught about 40 of us how to line dance. We had a fantastic time with Ernesto!! He was very patient with us, very encouraging and energetic. I cannot say enough good things about him! There is no doubt that we will have another western night with Ernesto.
Ernesto was so great in working w/me, an unskilled beginner of salsa dancing. His patience, encouragement and professional guidance left me feeling like I could really develop all the tools I needed to go out salsa dancing and do well with any partner. I highly recommend his dance services for any style of dancing!
