In just 1.5 hours Noe broke down the basics and slowly added patterns until we left feeling like we looked like we knew what we were doing. Thanks Noe!
As someone with two left feet, I was nervous. Noe made me comfortable from day one. After a few sessions I was dancing at local clubs with confidence.
We've followed Noe to his new studio because he's a great teacher and fun to work with. He even accommodates requests outside our usual styles.
