We took a salsa lesson... - We took a salsa lesson package and it was fantastic! My husband and I are total beginners but we learned the basics so we could join in a local outdoor dance fiesta with our instructor. Jeanne offered to take us to a location with a real salsa band! The history of salsa she shared during our lesson was very interesting too - and lots of tidbits of information about the local area too. Highly recommend!

Fun, engaging and easy going. A must do. - Learning salsa with Jeanne was an absolute joy from start to finish. She has a gift of making something feel both approachable and exhilarating at the same time. Her instruction is clear, patient, and confidence-building, with just the right balance of technical guidance and infectious enthusiasm. Jeanne creates a welcoming, supportive environment where you feel encouraged to try, laugh, mess up, and try again, without ever feeling self-conscious. She breaks movements down in a way that makes them click, and her love for salsa is unmistakable and completely contagious. We walked away not just with new steps, but with a genuine sense of accomplishment and a bigger love for the dance. Jeanne is an incredible instructor and an even better energy to learn from.

Salsa for any level! - This Salsa and Latin Rhythms tour was one of the highlights of our trip! Jeanne was absolutely amazing — warm, friendly, and so knowledgeable about salsa’s history and culture. She really took the time to make the experience special for us. What made it even better was seeing my husband — who’s not much of a dancer — completely let his guard down and join in. Jeanne’s relaxed, patient teaching style made him feel comfortable, and by the end, he was having a blast dancing with me! We started with a fun, easy-going class in a beautiful, quiet park, then moved to a local outdoor dance night where we practiced some of our steps with a friendly crowd. The night wrapped up at a lively salsa bar, where we listened to great Cuban music all night!. You don’t need to be an expert — just bring your energy and a smile. I highly recommend this experience, especially with Jeanne leading the way. It was an unforgettable, joyful night that I’ll always cherish!
