“Matt is an amazing instructor, person, and dancer. I took my first beginner class in September and I’ve been hooked since then. I would never think I’d be able to learn how to dance salsa but Matt scaffolds each move in a way that makes it easy to follow. If you’re looking for someone to help you start your salsa journey, look no further.”

“My girlfriend and I took private classes with Matt and he was nothing short of amazing. His attention to detail and patience helped me learn how to dance Salsa in a few short weeks! I’m extremely grateful and would recommend his class to anyone, who not only wants to learn how to dance, but have a great time! Truly a 5 star experience, thank you again Matt!“

“I have known Matt for about five years. We danced together in a Salsa showcase. I have taken numerous private lessons with him.

Matt’s love and passion for dancing is what drew me to him. He lives and breathes Salsa dancing. His expertise and knowledge in teaching Salsa is very impressive, but more importantly, he has a good heart…

We need someone like Matt to keep the dance movement growing in our Hudson Valley Area!

I highly recommend Matt to start your Salsa journey.”

“Matt and Emeline are assets to the Hudson Valley. I started taking their class 2 months late, and I was honestly surprised at how advanced their other students got in that time. I learn a new shine every class, and the steps are taught the way that I like: Broken down. Easy to learn. And in a comfortable space. Grateful to have you both back.”

“Highly recommended a private salsa lesson with Matt. Matt is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough and a great instructor. Never made us feel as if we couldn’t get the steps. Provided step by step guidance - even proper hand placements which made the experience for my partner and I truly fun. Great activity to do as a couple or even single. Highly recommend.”

“I’ve been taking Matt’s beginner Salsa classes on 2 for a few weeks now with my husband and daughter and I must say it’s the most enjoyable and best experience I’ve had in any dance class. Matt along with his mother have the outmost patience and take their time to teach the groups. Their atmosphere is very welcoming and you never leave without having a great laugh. We look forward each week to his classes, can’t wait to continue our journey and hope to be nearly as good of a dancer as Matty.”
