What Dancers Say
Real words from students, bootcamp grads, and the La Tuna crowd
Como mexicana, siempre crecí bailando cumbia y con uno que otro pasito, pero aprender salsa lineal fue algo totalmente nuevo para mí. Desde que empecé a tomar clases con Paul, poco a poco le fui agarrando el ritmo, aprendiendo más pasos y ganando mucha confianza. Hoy disfruto muchísimo bailar salsa y me siento mucho más segura en la pista. ¡Súper recomendado para quien quiera aprender desde cero, mejorar y divertirse al mismo tiempo! 💃✨
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! 💃✨
I have been going to Paul's salsa lessons at La Tuna for a couple of years. It's an awesome way to get an introduction to salsa. But I really have not been consistent enough to learn. So, now I'm taking his 4-day beginner and intermediate classes. That has really gotten me to a place where now I feel like I can participate on the dance floor. Both the Tuesday night lessons at La Tuna and the lessons at Casa Fuego Dance Studio have given me the confidence to stick my hand out and ask a lady to get on the dance floor with me. I appreciate what Paul is doing so much. Thanks Paul!
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!!!
¡Mi experiencia reciente en el campamento de entrenamiento de salsa para principiantes de 4 días de Paul fue genial! En el pasado he tomado otros cursos que me dejaron más confundida que confiada. Paul tenía una forma muy clara de dividir los patrones de pasos en conjuntos fácilmente digeribles que se basaban unos en otros. Partiendo de un paso básico y fundamental, añadiendo giros y vueltas de brazos y manos por encima de la cabeza en tan solo 5 horas de clase, siento que ahora tengo un muy buen conocimiento básico del baile!!!
