Michelle is the best salsa teacher I've ever had. Full stop. From the very beginning, she showed endless patience, breaking down each movement in a way that made even the most challenging steps feel doable. Michelle has an amazing ability to see/know exactly where I needed improvement, offering clear, SUPER detailed guidance that helped me refine my technique without feeling overwhelmed. She creates a safe and welcoming space where learning feels comfortable rather than intimidating. What truly made a difference in my progress was her emphasis on practicing outside of class. She didn’t just teach me the steps—she taught me how to practice "effectively, which led to faster growth and more confidence. Michelle taught me to listen to music more closely, which has seriously improved my dancing and helped me connect on a deeper level. I always look forward to my lessons with her! 10/10 grateful to have Michelle as a coach. "
