I've inquired about payment of services with the company. Instead of paying me and taking accountability they gaslit me and accused and projected on to me of taking advantage of them for work already done. I don't understand how working for someone and then asking for your last check is taking advantage. This is done across the entire country every day by normal organizations. This is why with the help of family I left the company due to the shadiness of their endeavors. From firing every other assistant to not being able pay their studio rent on time, yet buying tickets out to Paris, it is still relatively concerning. Regardless of how a manager thinks a service is done people are usually paid for their work. I don't understand what city, state or country where people work for free unless you are volunteering. In the future maybe telling an employee that you don't have the money to pay them would suffice. In the state of Virginia they are mandated laws that prevent this from happening. There are only 72 hours for an employer to pay an employer when they resign. As of right now these laws are being broken. read more

Hello My name is Maggie Williams and I used to work for Linda Saez the owner of this company. I don't usually need to file complaints but Im disappointed in Linda's ability to pay her employees for the labor that they provide for her. In my time most recent working for LS she would avoid or procrastinate conversations around me having a contract or the time of payment. When asked for payment diplomatically she's dodged the conversations regarding payment. As of now she currently owes me $735 dollars for labor provided to the company. In several of the days worked I risked my life going through the snow storm to help her company and was often yelled for not being able to get to work. On behalf of me, close friends/family of mine, the lack of clarity around the payment and contract has led me to resign as her assistant. It's disappointing that she can't rise above and pay me given that she fired every one of her assistants before hiring me. Im unsure of whether of whether it's a money issue as she recently paid for several plane tickets to a flight to France in the upcoming weeks. But, if you are wanting to work with her please be careful as she is not always honest and you may not get paid, which is relatively concerning. read more

Classe Dance Company by Linda Saenz is one of the best places in the area to learn sensual bachata. She was trained and certified by the creators of sensual bachata, and I feel so fortunate to be within driving distance of such a skilled instructor. Linda is not afraid to get into the nitty gritty details of technique. She constantly pushes me to do better and improve. Classe is currently located in Tyson's Ballroom, not Oakton. There are Saturday classes, and Sundays are for teams. Make sure to contact Linda if you have a question about placement or commitment--some classes are a progressive series requiring a consistent commitment. Classe is the perfect place for dancers to continue training sensual bachata! read more

Linda and Aldo taught me most of my sensual Bachata and salsa and are great! I have improved significantly from when I started with their instruction. A little hard to find since the entrance is not well marked but it's a long driveway with the studio at the end. See you in class!! read more
