Introduction
Mr.Salsa has been dancing ever since he can remember. He was inspired to learn Latin Dance from his parents dancing at family parties. He starting teaching Salsa, Latin, and Ballroom when he was in high school at Diablo Valley College and other venues in the Bay Area. When he went to college, he expanded himself with other dances such as Ballet, Modern, Jazz, Break dancing, Popping, Tutting, Waltz, Bachata, Mambo, Rumba, ChaChaCha, East coast swing, and more. He found one of his many passions and love for Cuban salsa known as Casino, Cuban Rumba Folklore, and Rueda De Casino, where you dance with multiple couples in a circle and you are constantly switching partners with fun and intriguing moves! He’s definitely considered one of the top heavy weight dancers in the Bay Area with over a decade of experience performing, competing and teaching at many different locations, venues, and festivals in San Francisco, Portland, Vancouver Washington, San Carlos, Palo Alto, Miami, Hawaii, Texas, and more! He is bringing the heat to the dance floor to show everyone his drive and passion for dance while incorporating his own fusion of different styles of dances adding a unique "Flavor" and "Style" to his Choreographies and Classes. Don't be shy to ask him for a dance if you see him social dancing, he is more than happy to dance with you in or outside of class. Hope you enjoy the intense energy he brings to the dance floor because he will make sure you leave with that energy as well. “Dancing has brought such extreme happiness, inspiration, and positivity to my life that I want to share it to the whole world! I love seeing my students progress overtime and seeing them become passionate and confident dancers! One of my many strengths is breaking movements down to the core to make sure they understand the motion, isolation's, their body, but most importantly, to get them to build good habits/proper technique and understand the dance. It’s extremely fulfilling to see my student blossom and I can’t wait to help you achieve your goal!”

We CAN'T recommend Timba Heat more for pre-wedding dance lessons. My now husband and I still talk about how doing the dance lessons and picking a fun, upbeat song was one of our favorite parts of wedding planning. We danced to Hooked on a Feeling and it's still one of my favorite wedding memories thanks to Hebert. Hebert not only made it fun and light for us non-dancers but he cut our music clips. He even incorporated a little lift in the dance which I never thought we could do. He also had so much patience when I did classes with my Dad, who can't keep a beat for the life of him. Our guests still talk about how fun our dance was not to mention we had so much fun practicing. I've already given his contact to all my engaged friends. Absolutely worth every penny!!

Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • Parent dance (i.e., father/daughter) • What my teacher recommends • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No experience • At the pro’s location

Had a great experience with Hebert from Timba Heat Dance Company. We hired Hebert for a milestone birthday party where we had a group salsa lesson - it was a 60-minute lesson that showed the basics for salsa and bachata, and everyone loved it. Hebert was very responsive and easy to collaborate with when planning for the event. Would highly recommend!

He was AMAZING!! The SWEETEST instructor you'll have and he's on top of things!! I've been wanting to dance for a very long time, and finally got lessons to do so, and it was 100000% worth it!! He makes you feel so comfortable and he's very non-judgemental. Will definitely be back💖
