VERY technical and a storehouse of knowledge like any great teacher should be like. It might be a little too much, too fast of a learning curve, and too technical of a class for beginners, but I bet if you stay with it you get really good really fast. Great teacher. read more

Can't say enough good things about Cinnamon. My fiancée and I have been taking lessons to prepare for our big day. I am so impressed by the way that he breaks down every movement and explains things in a way that someone like me with no experience can understand. He choreographed a really magnificent routine for our first dance and is even meeting us at the venue to practice beforehand. Super great and super talented dancer and person!! read more

This evening was my fiancé and I's first dance lesson with Cinnamon. We decided to take some dance lessons for our upcoming wedding as both of us have two left feet. I was nervous going into the first lesson because neither of us have any experience, but Cinnamon made both of us SO comfortable. Not only did we learn some good moves (and easily learned them too due to Cinnamon's amazing teaching style), but Cinnamon also helped us choose our first dance song (something that I have actively been trying to choose for the last 2 years (not exaggerating here)). He asked us a couple questions, read our energy, and played a song...right then and there, I knew it was the one we had to go with! But most importantly, Cinnamon made it FUN. My fiancé and I left our first lesson feeling more connected than ever and so excited for our wedding. I can't wait for our next lesson! read more

My husband and I have had a few dance lessons in the past, but we're rusty. I came across Cinnamon's Danceworks and we planned dinner and breakdown to ballroom dance lesson's for my sister inlaw's birthday. Cinnamon is an amazing dance instructor to say the least. Cinnamon was able to keep an eye all of the couple's tonight and jump in and out correcting and showing and as a group. I can't express how happy I am to have come across Cinnamon's Danceworks and I can't wait to go back. I love how there's a daily schedule that you could just show up to. The prices are great and it's so close to home. Thank you Cinnamon! See you soon. read more

Cinnamon choreographed our first dance! Our dance lessons with him were our favorite part of our wedding planning, making it stress-free and fun. Thank you, Cinnamon, for making our first dance amazing! Highly recommend for any dance lesson especially weddings! read more

Found Cinnamon through FB. We wanted a first dance and family dance choreographed. He estimated that we would need 10 classes. He said he'd even throw in two additional classes if we paid for the 10 classes upfront. So we paid for ten classes, but ultimately, didn't end up taking 10. After our sixth class, we knew it would be our last, I asked if he'd refund four classes. He did not refund us the money. DO NOT PAY FOR CLASSES UPFRONT. He owes us $272 dollars. :( read more

Rachel and I reached out to Cinnamon for dance lessons for our wedding with about 2 weeks to go until the wedding. Cinnamon listened to what our dancing goals were and helped us to come up with and learn a simple yet elegant first dance. He did such a great job teaching us the basic steps and helped us put them together to create our first dance. Our dance was really well received by our family and friends, and we are so grateful for all that Cinnamon did to make our special day even more perfect! We highly recommend Cinnamon's Dance Works! read more

Cinnamon is an awesome instructor. he goes above and beyond to make his students feel comfortable as they embark on the study of dance. His classes are not only fun but also educational as he defines little read more

This is the best dance studio I've even been to! The atmosphere is so welcoming, and Cinnamon truly cares about each and every one of his students. He is a master at making newbies feel welcome and also challenging you to do things you didn't even know you could. He also teaches so many different kinds of dances, at all levels. Coming here is the highlight of my week! read more

I started off brand new with 2 left feet about a year ago. I've always wanted to learn to dance. I had learn of workshops of his from word of mouth. What really made me keep coming back was the way cinnamon made the classes fun and makes you feel very comfortable. If you're worried about a partner don't let it hold you back he goes through partner rotations. I never thought I'd be where I am now without his simplicity of breaking it down from the ground up. He's a great and very talented teacher. A year later, I and many other salseros I've met for his classes still attend his Tuesday night classes at the salsa club. After many years of dreaming to dance I can now teach someone else the basics and a lil extra.With that being said tomorrow is Tuesday which means it's SALSA NIGHT!!!!! With none other than cinnamon teaching. read more

Cinnamon is an excellent instructor, and I love learning from and dancing with him. He builds rapport quickly, and that trust lays the foundation for a very easy lesson/knowledge transfer/skill building. He's always supportive... And the most rewarding experience about being in the studio is seeing the transformation of his new students: they walk in timid, sometimes uncomfortable, and they walk out tall, with heads held high, a smile, an uplifted spirit, and confidence in their step! The classes are fun and playful. Definitely stop by! read more

I am so glad I booked a couples private lessons with Cinnamon! My boyfriend (not much of a dancer) and I really enjoyed it. Cinnamon is laid back, friendly, and makes the experience enjoyable. He is a fantastic teacher that makes learning fun! I definitely plan on going back. read more

My fiancé and I came to Cinnamon to help plan our First Dance after her parents recommended him. I've never really danced before and I was extremely nervous about it. Cinnamon made the whole experience super comfortable. He's a great instructor and excels not only at teaching the moves but also correcting any errors we had. After three classes we were performing out first dance like we'd been practicing for weeks. I would definitely recommend his classes not only for people looking to plan a wedding dance, but for anyone looking to have fun and improve. read more

My fiancé and I just had 1-hour private sessions with Cinnamon, one per day for 3 days in a row, to help us plan our first dance for our wedding. We had never taken classes before and had no idea what kind of dance to do, and my fiancé has never been particularly keen on dancing--until now! We learned so much in just 3 hours! Cinnamon taught us the hustle with like 8 different move sets and a whole intro routine, all of which we are excited to practice and show off. Cinnamon was incredibly helpful--he was patient with us throughout and able to pinpoint what we needed to adjust or work on as we went along. The only downside is that we live in NY and are visiting family in Illinois (who also love taking Cinnamon's classes) so we can't take more classes with him once we go back! read more

Is own by Cinnamon Trummell. He teaches all sorts of dancing technique. I'm currently taking up Ballroom, Salsa, and Argentine Tango. I never have any experienced in this kind of dancing before, so I thought I would give it a try. The instructor's teaching technique makes it easy and fun. He will walk you through the steps and he pays attention to where you are having problems. He never judge nor criticizes what you did wrong. Instead he walk you through each of the steps, and make it fun for you. The place has a friendly friendship and personable atmosphere. Check it out! Highly recommended.. read more
