What dancers say
"As a Mexican, I always grew up dancing cumbia and picking up the odd little step here and there, but learning linear (on-1) salsa was completely new to me. Since I started taking classes with Paul, bit by bit I picked up the rhythm, learned more steps, and gained so much confidence. Today I absolutely love dancing salsa and I feel much more secure on the dance floor. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn from zero, improve, and have a great time at the same time! 💃✨"
"My recent experience in Paul's 4-day beginners Salsa bootcamp was great! In the past I have taken other courses that left me more confused than confident. Paul had a very clear way of breaking down the step patterns into easily digestible sets that built on each other. From a basic foundational step, adding in turns and overhead arm and hand spins in just 5 hours of classes, I feel that I now have a very good basic knowledge of the dance!!!"
"I have been attending Paul's boot camps and have really enjoyed trying to learn to dance. Paul is a very patient teacher who really loves what he teaches. The other students are fun to be around and we laugh a lot as we all learn together. Can't wait until the next class!"
"I took a four day Boot Camp with Paul. He was amazing. I learned all the steps, he was patient and it was lots of fun. I will do the level two and maybe level one again when I get back in October."
"I really enjoyed starting my salsa journey with Paul. He has a very powerful style and a lot of patience with everyone. He's an incredibly expressive and fun person, which makes the teaching much more enjoyable. I definitely recommend him."
