About MrSalsa - Latin & Ballroom Dance Expert

Mr.Salsa has been dancing ever since he can remember. He was inspired to learn Latin Dance from his parents dancing at family parties. He started his professional dance journey in high school taking classes during the summer. When he went to college, he expanded himself with other dances such as Ballet, Modern, Jazz, Break dancing, Popping, Tutting, Waltz, Bachata, Mambo, Rumba, ChaChaCha, East coast swing, and more. He found one of his many passions and love for Cuban salsa known as Casino, Cuban Rumba Folklore, and Rueda De Casino, where you dance with multiple couples in a circle and you are constantly switching partners with fun and intriguing moves! With over a decade of experience performing, choreographing, and teaching at many different locations, states, venues, & festivals/congresses, he is bringing the heat to the dance floor to show everyone his drive and passion for dance while incorporating his own fusion of different styles of dances adding a unique “Flavor” and “Style” to his Choreographies and Classes. Let these words from MrSalsa inspire you to take the next step in your dance journey: “Dancing has brought such extreme happiness, inspiration, and positivity to my life that I want to share it to the whole world! I love seeing my students progress overtime & seeing them become passionate & confident dancers. One of my many strengths is breaking the movements down to the core to make sure you understand the motion, isolation's, your body, but most importantly, for you to build good habits/proper technique while understand the dance. It’s extremely fulfilling to see my student blossom & I can’t wait to help you achieve your goal. Now, with that being said, let’s begin your dance journey shall we? A Bailar Mi Gente!🕺🏽”

I hired Hebert just 5 days before the event! Hebert taught my mom a Rumba/Salsa number for her birthday party. After every lesson he updated me on how my mom did and what to expect for the next time. On the day of the event he patiently waited for their routine and amazed everyone! His choreo really brought the energy to the party and got my relatives up out of their seats cheering. Mr. Salsa is talented, fun, professional, and matches your vibe. Book him for your next event!

Had a great beginner private class for me and my bf for Valentine’s Day! Mr Salsa was great at explaining the fundamentals of the dance and made it a very fun experience for us.

My wife and I had an amazing salsa lesson with Mr. Salsa! His energy, patience, and clear instruction made learning so much fun. He broke down the steps in a way that was easy to follow, and we already feel more confident on the dance floor. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, I highly recommend taking a class with him. Looking forward to the next lesson!

Hebert was an absolute pleasure to welcome to our Wellness Fair. His expertise, skill, warmth, leadership, and zest for dancing shined through! Our company loved his energy and he added a lot of laughter and joy to our annual Wellness Day! We want to invite him back next year! There was nothing but raving reviews from all who watched and participated in his session. It was truly a pleasure to have Hebert there!

Had a great experience with Hebert from Timba Heat Dance Company. We hired Hebert for a milestone birthday party where we had a group salsa lesson - it was a 60-minute lesson that showed the basics for salsa and bachata, and everyone loved it. Hebert was very responsive and easy to collaborate with when planning for the event. Would highly recommend!

He was AMAZING!! The SWEETEST instructor you'll have and he's on top of things!! I've been wanting to dance for a very long time, and finally got lessons to do so, and it was 100000% worth it!! He makes you feel so comfortable and he's very non-judgemental. Will definitely be back💖

Hebert is an excellent teacher that we loved working with. We're beginners and he took us through cuban salsa basics. Now we're planning our first dance night out!
