Mariia provides high quality, excellent service and excellent expertise in her field. I've always felt comfortable and at ease working with Mariia. I scheduled five classes with her to learn how to dance bachata. Because of her, I'm more than confident to head out to the dance floor and show what I've learned. I'm looking forward to learning salsa next. I highly recommend Mariia.

Mariia was amazing. We set up a bachata lesson for 4 people who had zero dance experience. In one hour we learned more than we expected. She was punctual, responsive, professional, patient, and she broke things down to very simple, beginner friendly steps. We were very satisfied with our experience. Strongly recommend.

Details: 26-35 • A group of 3-4 people • Bachata • No experience • Developing a hobby • 60 minutes • Once a week • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Every lesson start with warm up where we repeat all the basic figures of the Latin program (cha cha, samba, rumba, pasodoble, jive) or the basic figures of the Ballroom program (Slow Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Slow Foxtrot, Quickstep) After the warm up, the practice begins with a detailed technique like footwork, arm styling, posture. In the final part of the class, you will learn a new dance routine.
