We had a great time learnt a lot and had a ton of fun! I highly highly recommend.

It is a pleasure to work with Gonzo. He is very patient during the lessons and he is responsive when we reach out to him regarding scheduling. My husband and I enjoy our lessons with Gonzo.

He was impatient. It seemed as though he could not accurately assess my skill level, so he could not tailor the lesson to suit my needs. There was no structure to the lesson. The lesson did not meet my expectations, and I did not leave the experience knowing more than what I knew prior to taking this lesson. I will not be returning for more lessons

We loved our time with Gonzo! Logistically, he was responsive, low-key and easy to work with. We live in an apt and the space constraint was not a constraint at all for him. But the headline is that we learned how to dance! Our goal was to enjoy being on the dance floor at our son's wedding. Gonzalo taught us how to do that. He quickly ascertained where we were (not much past beginner!) and then got us to the next level. His manner is professional but not uptight. Most importantly, he is an experienced dancer, and has a gift for teaching. Magic combo for us!

He could identify our needs immediately, quickly. It's going very well.

Very nice, courteous and knowledgeable professional. We enjoyed our lesson very much.

Gonzalo is excellent! My husband and I are thoroughly enjoying our lessons with Gonzalo. He is an amazing teacher in that he breaks the dance down into understandable steps and is able to teach to different learning styles and abilities. He is personable, friendly, and always has a positive attitude. We definitely recommend taking dance lessons with Gonzalo!

Gonzo is very good at instructing the student and makes it fun.

Gonzo worked well with my fiancé and I. We started at zero and my fiancé was a reluctant participant, but by the end of our series of lessons, we have made a ton of progress and my fiancé is even coming up with ideas and asking Gonzo how we can incorporate them. We were just looking for some very basic starting off skills but we will engage him again as we get closer to our event to help us with choreography. Highly recommend!

Gonzalo was a great at home dance instructor, he was patient, always on time, fun and helped us put together a great choreographed dance for our wedding.

Lia C.Dec 2021

Oh my, we didn't know that my husband can dance til Gonzalo came along! We were only a week away from our wedding. Gonzalo did a couple of sessions and they were worth it! He was very patient, direct and professional! Easy to communicate with. God could not have sent a perfect instructor to us.

Gonzalo was excellent for our first lesson! We look so forward to 9 more :)

He is a great teacher and mentor!

Gonzalo was amazing! We only had a little over a month before our wedding when we started working with him. He was able to help us learn a routine I had put together with some dance moves I loved (a mix of swing and waltz-ish ballroom). He helped to fill in the gaps and create a flow. He put us both at ease and was so good at explaining things in a way that helped us to learn. He came and did lessons for us in our house and we couldn't be more pleased. Our dance went beautifully!!

Gonzo came in and saved the day. The last thing on our wedding checklist was dancing lessons. We procrastinated. He came quickly and took a couple hours and choreographed with style a father/daughter dance & a bride/groom dance. He made everyone at ease. The dances turned out beautifully. Thanks Gonzo!

Jill N.Jun 2017

We loved Gonzalo! He was friendly and funny and easy to work with. He assessed where we were to start and tailored his lessons to build on that. He was great at explaining concepts in different ways and showing us what he meant, working with each of us separately (he can both lead and follow with ease!) We met about once a week for about six months, in our home. The last couple weeks we met at our outdoor wedding venue and danced on the patio that would serve as our dance floor. We'll miss seeing him regularly! Everyone loved our first dance, and our second dance (a "flash mob" with our wedding party and friends) and Gonzalo was a big part of that success. Highly recommend!

Gonzo was great! He took time out to really get to know us, so that he could cater our lessons toward us and our experiences. He's professional, honest, and straightforward. We were very happy with what was choreographed. I highly recommend Gonzo to anyone.
