I am honored to belong to this school. I have had the opportunity to witness its effort and growth; the love and dedication with which its staff works is truly admirable. Thank you so much for giving us such a beautiful motivation to preserve our cultures. ❤️

Great establishment, awesome staff. I highly recommend if you like to learn to dance or put children in dancing classes

Mario Londono

Yaya was amazing! My now wife and I can’t thank her enough for the amazing choreography she came up with for our first dance. After the dance our family and friends and even the DJ came up to us during the night and all told us “best first dance EVER!” We can’t thank Yaya enough!

Albert Marquez

Generally an amazing place with reasonable space to practice and or choreograph dances. Yaya the main dance instructor was very kind and helpful, always made time for us as we neared my sweet 16/ quincenera and did not ever disappoint. There is nothing I would change about this place and highly recommend for any sort of fast and easy choreography. A well deserved 5 stars.
