Introduction

Greetings, I am a choreographer/instructor and have been teaching for over 15+ years. Come create with me and let's make something special. I specialize in teaching Hip Hop, Salsa, Yoga, Cheer/Poms, Bollywood/Bhangra, Jazz at ANY age and Burlesque (18+). I have worked with several media companies and artists in the field of dance including work on TV award shows, movies/tv shows and dance competition teams. Also, I teach dance fit which includes classes like Zumba & HH for those wanting more of a “fun” workout as opposed to a “traditional” workout. For the 21+ crowd I also teach sensual dance for those wanting to get into adult entertainment. *MUST be an adult for that class/private lesson Let's create and have fun with movement!!!

Hired on Thumbtack

Carlito did an incredible job at my event! I contacted him with a more non-traditional request. I was hosting a baby shower with a Beyoncé: Cowboy Carter theme and was hoping to find someone to teach a line dance as a surprise at the shower. Carlito was game right away and had amazing energy. He was highly communicative and responsive during the planning process. On the day of the shower, Carlito arrived early and was very professional. The dance ability levels and ages of the participants varied greatly and Carlito’s instruction was accessible and fun for everyone. 10/10.highly recommend! Thank you so much, Carlito!

I cannot recommend Carlito enough! This was my first time using Thumbtack, and I’m so happy I found him. From the moment I inquired, Carlito has been incredibly responsive, reaching out to me right away. We’ve had a few sessions now, and I truly appreciate the time and effort he’s dedicated to us. Carlito is an attentive and talented teacher who listens to our feedback and quickly adapts if we’re struggling with a particular move, making adjustments to fit our needs. His choreography is absolutely amazing—it’s clear he has a gift for creating routines that are both beautiful and personalized to our style and abilities. He’s also been so helpful with song selection, offering thoughtful suggestions and ensuring the routine complements the music perfectly. The warm-up at the beginning of each session is such a thoughtful touch—it really helps me loosen up and get into the flow. Each session has been a perfect balance of fun and learning, and we’re amazed at the progress we’ve made. Having him come to our home has been a game changer, especially since it allows us to include our 4-year-old when we can’t find daycare. His flexibility and willingness to work around our schedule have been a lifesaver during this busy time. Carlito has truly made this experience enjoyable and stress-free. If you’re looking for a choreographer who is patient, skilled, flexible, and a joy to work with, he’s the one!

Carlos is a FANTASTIC instructor! He taught me salsa, bachata, as well as Hawaiian and Tahitian. I personally requested Tahitian and he went out of his way to learn the Tahitian to teach me! Carlos definitely knows his dancing! His skills and personal experience in the field of all kinds of dance is truly extensive and impressive. Carlos is super nice and he knows how to break down complex steps to the student in more easy to manage steps so that they can learn and follow. Carlos also makes the lessons FUN and dynamic! Carlos not only teaches and instructs on numberous dancing styles, but he makes it a great workout for your body and spirit! I learned alot from Carlos and keep learning. He is super easy to talk to and super nice. Very approachable and kind! I can now walk to many dance floors and dance way more confident and skill than ever before!! I have a blast on every lesson! I highly HIGHLY recommend Carlos to anyone and everyone! THANK YOU Carlos!

Carlito is absolutely amazing! We hired him as a choreographer to help us learn some new dance moves, and he exceeded all our expectations. He put together a fantastic routine that perfectly matched our skill level and style. His creativity shines through in every step, and his deep knowledge of dance is evident in the way he teaches. He is incredibly patient and understanding, taking the time to ensure we feel comfortable and confident with each move. His positive attitude and encouraging demeanor make learning from him a truly enjoyable experience. We couldn't have asked for a better choreographer and are so grateful for his expertise and support. Highly recommended! ---
