Carolyn is an amazing instructor. As a total beginner, I was nervous at first, but she made me feel completely comfortable right away. Her teaching style is clear, encouraging, and fun. I can’t believe how much I learned in just a short time. Highly recommend Lux Studios for anyone looking to get into salsa or Latin dance.

Carolyn is very friendly and patient! She answers every question I have and is very thorough when showing the dance moves.

Carolyn was fantastic! We took an intro class and 4 full length classes to prepare for our first dance at our wedding. Carolyn choreographed the dance for us at just the right level of difficulty. She was extremely kind and patient. Taking dance classes with Carolyn was one of the best investments we could have made for our wedding! We felt so much more at ease going into the night and our guests loved our performance! It was also a really FUN experience and a great way to escape the stresses of wedding planning. Highly recommend taking classes with Carolyn-- you will not regret it!

Carolyn is such a fun & kind instructor that creates an ambiance of support and comfort in the classroom! My husband and I have zero dance experience but we are loving our experience with Carolyn so far as we prepare for our wedding.

We had fun learning with Carolyn! She helped us build our confidence and learn some steps for our first dance at our wedding. It was just the right level for us, and she was a great teacher. We highly recommend her!

Carolyn is so friendly and very patient. My fiancé and I are not very coordinated or confident with our dancing skills but Carolyn takes the time to make sure you feel comfortable which is so great!

Jemmy M.May 2022

She was great, I came in barely knowing how to move to coming out semi confident in what I needed to do and that was just in 30mins.

Carolyn is just hands down the most kindest and patient instructor of all time. I came into this lesson extremely nervous and afraid of making mistakes. But her uplifting personality and tone just made this class so fun and engaging. I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher who instilled confidence but also positive reinforcement. I am so excited to back and complete my next lessons. Thank you for making this so easy for me. This moment will definitely be cherished on the day of our wedding.

We were nervous for our first class with Carolyn because we are very much beginners. She made us feel so comfortable and we both left the class saying how much fun we had!

Carolyn is a sweetheart as a person and the best when it comes to professionalism ! She helped me build up confidence when dancing with a partner by being easy going and friendly just to give you enough space to set yourself up for the right amount of versatility and grace that you need for yourself and your partner while couple dancing! I would highly recommend her .She is a gem!!

Carolyn is great! We’re working with her on a rather complicated dance and she’s incredibly gifted and gracious with how she breaks down every move. I already feel like we’ve improved ten fold after one class!

Kevin O.Jan 2020

I wasn't certain what to expect from my first dance class but Carolyn made me feel welcome and comfortable. She inquired about my goals and previous dance experience and started right off with clear instruction and demonstration. She listened to my questions (even the dumb ones) showed proper technique. Maybe most importantly, she made it fun! I will be taking additional private dance lessons from Carolyn. Highly recommended dance instructor.

Esther D.Jan 2020

This is my first experience with a professional dancer and I am very happy with Carolyn. She was very professional, dedicated, patient and easy to understand. I am beyond thankful I found such a wonderful teacher and look forward to continuing my training with Carolyn!

We love working with Carolyn! She is very sweet, professional and she works with us over and over where we need help. We have done two private classes with her and we have learned so much already! Highly recommend her.

Both I and my dance partner were favorably impressed, and will be working with Carolyn in the future.

She was awesome! We're really happy with our new dancing skills!

Thumbtack customerNov 2016

My husband and I took lessons with Carolyn to prep for our first dance, and couldn't have asked for more. Of course Carolyn is an excellent dancer, but moreover she's an excellent teacher. Extremely patient, understanding, explains things very easily, and is focused on customizing what she teaches and recommends for your needs. Loved loved loved her!
