Frank and Tana are amazing! I have been learning how to dance salsa for several years, but they are the first people who really drill, teach musicallity, and hone in on technique. They also just have a lot of fun with dancing and share their love for dance with all their students. If you're new to dance or been dancing for years, Tana and Frank are great at working with you where you are. - Olivia Meegoda
