I come from the other side of the tracks so it was intimidating for sure. Getting there is the worst part. We were greeted by Evie, an expert in all respects, including teacher & professionalism.

Bachata Group Class with Carlos…read more I had so much fun at Carlos's bachata group class! He's an incredible instructor--patient, upbeat, and great at breaking down the steps so everyone feels confident.

Highly recommend taking his class if you want to learn real technique while having an awesome time!

Now to make the appointment..I repeatedly left this person messages.. after a while I was getting very discouraged cause she wasn't calling back.I did explain to her my daughters situation & how excited she was hoping she was away for a week or something & would reach out, But when she finally did atleast text back it was only to tell me that Groupon shouldn't have been running that deal & that she had that deal 2 years ago said she would call them to cancel & that was it. Come to find out she is thr one who let it run for two years for some reason without ever canceling it with Groupon because I spoke with them about this. Not to honor something that she never bothered to cancel is extremely unprofessional & the way she handled the entire situation was worse. It was definitely 100% for ur place not anyplace else. Its YOUR address & her cell. I can show u the Groupon but plz don't insult me and tell me i am mixed I am very clear.
