I have been taking salsa and bachata classes at the Salseros Dance Company for almost two years, and I love it there! Over this time, I have experienced rich learning that has helped me become a skilled and confident dancer. The classes are designed to help a beginner progress upward with professional and effective instruction alongside many learning opportunities. All four instructors there: Jose, Michelle, Leah, and Paula, are all very experienced and knowledgeable, and are some of the nicest and most patient people you will ever meet. They genuinely care to see you improve. Through them, I have learned footwork, dance and spinning techniques, ladies styling, and a genuine appreciation for salsa and timba music. Every Friday night there is a salsa dance social at the dance studio, and a few times each month we are treated to a lively salsa band called Descargo 54, which is an amazing 16-member salsa band led by Jose himself! The Friday night salsa dances allow me to practice what I know with the fun group that is part of the well-established dancing community here in Eugene, Or. Even better, I get an opportunity to show off what I have learned through low stress demos or studio performances. I have to say that the Salseros Dance Company offers a great deal too, better than any other Latin or ballroom dance company, and because of their great deal, I have been able to take many classes, expand my learning experiences, and enjoy being part of four dance teams! In this short time, I went from a pure beginner to an intermediate level salsa and bachata dancer. I still have so much to learn, but all those who know me say I have gotten much better, and I can sincerely thank the Salseros Dance Company! I now go to Portland, and even Seattle, and can salsa or bachata dance with style, finesse, grace, and confidence. I highly recommend Salseros Dance Studio! There you will love to learn salsa and bachata dances, and discover like me, what a rich and desirable experience being part of the Salsersos Dance Company can bring to your life! read more
