Hey Everyone !! The new schedule is up and I looking forward to switching things up for the summer !

Some of you have taken my bachata fusion class and I can honestly say it’s a lot of fun. For those of you who are straight beginners, this is something you can easily pick up because I teach through repetition. I’m adding a Bachata Fusion Choreo class which is great for students who have all the basic fundamentals down which include timing, connection, comfort with footwork and execution of lead and follow. This is perfect for the dancer who may want to learn a routine, do the challenge but not really interested in joining a dance team. This class will be taught by myself and Jody Smooth.

Early registration is highly recommended for the challenge and you should have already taken my class or other classes from other local instructors to feel comfortable learning. Feel free to DM me.

If you want to sign up for both bachata and salsa progressive and challenge classes you can do so for:

$125 includes 1 progressive salsa class
1 progressive bachata class
1 challenge class of your choice

$150
Includes 1 progressive salsa class
1 progressive bachata class
Both salsa and bachata fusion choreo challenge class

$175
Both beginner and intermediate classes for the salsa and bachata fusion 4 week progressive series
2 choreo challenge classes for salsa and bachata.

Everyone should make HELENA’S class part their SALSA JOURNEY! I did and YOU SHOULD TOO! I have taken Helena’s 4 week series!! It’s a lot of fun and the styling portion was an extra added unexpected bonus that I absolutely loved😍! She takes the time to dance with each and every one of her studentS to make sure you’ve got the moves down!! She is conveniently located in Rockville, the studio gave me great feeling with plenty of room and the price is RIGHT and worth it! Make sure u sign up early so u can SAVE!! GO FOR IT!! Enjoy the RIDE🔥🔥🔥

Helena has been one of the best teachers if not the best I’ve ever got a chance to learn from. She makes class fun while paying attention to each individual student no matter the size of her class and makes sure we are actually getting the moves. I’ve learned quite a bit from her and would highly recommend anyone to learn with her!! No matter what level you are at I’m sure you will learn something!

I've progressed not only in doing the dance moves, but also in understanding why and how it works solo and partnered.
