She an amazing professor! She came up with a beautiful choreography and was able to have us learn very quickly. It was clear that she thought about all the details to make sure our first dance goes well. She is very responsible and thoughtful.

I took private Bachata classes with Lyoka - she’s an amazing coach and I learned from zero to advanced moves in just a few lessons

I am continuing lessons with Lyoka because her instruction is technically sound and fun. She’s patient, clear, collaborative, and encouraging. Highly recommend!

The most amazing experience so far! In just three lessons we’ve gone from zero dance experience to memorizing nearly an entire song routine. The best! You just need to listen and practice. You will have a beautiful performance if you do so.

We had such a great experience with our in-home dance lesson. Lyoka made us feel completely comfortable from the moment she arrived, which made learning so much easier and more fun. She explained everything clearly, kept the lesson engaging, and we learned way more than we expected in just one session. Her energy was friendly, patient, and encouraging the entire time. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn dance in a relaxed and enjoyable environment! Looking forward to taking more lessons.

I went from never dancing to actually having fun salsa dancing now! She’s incredibly patient and her instructions are so clear. Still taking lessons and would highly recommend her!

I had the best experience with Lyoka ! It was my very first salsa class, I thought I would be terrible but thanks to her amazing teaching skills I actually achieved way more than I thought I was capable of, and that is how you know a teacher is great ! She gave me the base techniques to make me confident enough to go dance on my own ! I didn’t think I was going to like salsa so much, I will definitely book with her again !!

Lyoka is an excellent teacher! I started with one lesson but had so much fun that I ended up booking three more—all within the same week. I’m amazed at how quickly I’m picking things up, especially since I thought I had two left feet before starting. She breaks everything down in a way that’s super easy to follow, and each lesson has left me even more excited about learning to dance.

Planned back to back lessons to learn bachata and salsa with my boyfriend for his birthday. The energy and vibes were great. We had so much fun and learned way more than i thought we would. Even though we were complete beginners, Lyoka was so good at explaining the basics. She was patient and so sweat!
