Latin Dance Styles

Salsa

The most popular Latin dance style in the world, characterized by its quick footwork, fun turn patterns, and dynamic partnerwork.

mambo

Similar fundamentals as salsa, but danced to the beat of “la clave”, giving dancers the space and time to elegantly interpret the music with intricate turn patterns and combinations.

cha-cha

A soulful dance style with unique musical hits and endless ways to interpret the rhythm with your feet and body movement.

bachata

A simple and sensual dance style characterized by its fundamental hip movement, that is fun to learn, but challenging to master.

cumbia

A partner-dependent dance style, with ongoing open-breaks, and simple turn combinations.

merengue

One of the easiest dance styles to learn, characterized by the upbeat music, continuous hip motion, and slow turn patterns.

Our Story

Fernando & Angélica

“Would you like to dance?”

These were the first five words spoken in our relationship. I turned around to see who had tapped my right shoulder and to my surprise, a beautiful young woman stood in front of me, amidst a ballroom filled with thousands of dancers from all over the world. Without hesitation, I blissfully smiled and accepted her request. Many years later, our married life has been as magical as our first dance.

Fernando and Angelica were helpful on getting beginners like us a start with salsa dancing!

Olivia Harris

They did such a good job of teaching the basics and breaking it down, even for those who are not comfortable with dancing. It was so fun to see the teamwork and communication involved. We will definitely be coming again!

Deborah Evans

What a fun class! Salsa is more complicated than I realized, but Fernando and Angelica are great instructors and broke it down in a more understandable way. We had a great lesson and plan to continue learning and perfecting the dance with them-and plan to bring some of our adult kids with us to the next class!

My wife have been to Fernando and Angelíca’s class 4 times now. Each time was a lot of fun. I have 2 left feet and no rhythm but they did such a great job of breaking down the basics of salsa that it made it very easy to learn. Highly recommend.

Fernando and Angélica are the best! Not only are they clearly talented, but they are so good at getting the best out of their students. If they can make someone like me with zero rhythm feel confident salsa dancing, then there’s hope for ANYONE! 😅 Highly recommend!

Caroline Dury

We love salsa dancing! It was our first time trying a salsa class so we didn’t know what to expect. Angélica and Fernando did a fantastic job explaining the steps, while making it a lot of fun. We plan to attend more classes with them and highly recommend others to join!

My wife and I loved attending the latest Latin Heartbeat event at Saint Elizabeth Seton parish. The instructors were extremely professional, kind, and patient as they took their time to make sure everyone in attendance knew how to perform the next step/move. We would return to an event like this in a "heartbeat!" Thanks!

My boyfriend and I took a couple of our friends to their class and we had an absolute blast. Fernando and Angelica do a great job of explaining everything in a simple and easy to follow manner. They are so sweet and made the night such a fun double date night activity.
