Testimonials
Suzan Werkhoven
I enjoyed the bachata lady styling classes of Valentina so much! Usually, I am not able to join, since I do not live in Amsterdam. But due to corona she offered it online, which gave me this opportunity to follow her classes.
Her enthusiasm and passion for dancing and teaching is inspiring! <3
Antonio Caruncho Méndez
Great school! Valentina, Kevin, all the teachers are amazing! Classes are easy to follow. Love the empathy they show with all of us, as everybody needs to learn and starts at some point something new! Thank you guys!
Highly recommended - Very good place to learn, improve and have fun in an international environment.
Mariana Trancoso
I love the school vibe! I took a beginners' Salsa class course of 6 weeks, and it was super good! The teachers really care about explaining you everything in the best possible way, and at the same time they keep a relaxed, fun vibe. Super recommend!
