I am 4 weeks into my salsa lessons here, and its been very enjoyable so far…read more Alex and Dave are both fantastic instructors. I have taken salsa classes in the past, and the footing was slightly different. Alex and Dave took the time to explain how the count was different for this style of salsa. Alex really breaks down the steps for you, so even if you're a COMPLETE salsa newbie, as in, never have danced in your life, you will still be okay if you follow her steps and instructions. The size of the class is good, it allows for personal attention/help whenever you need it. Salsa is a stunning dance (if done right), and Alex and Dave are both VERY good-looking individuals, so when they do a dance demonstration, its quite the show. Just remember to NOT gape open-mouthed like a awestruck creep :) Yelp Kicks Butt Challenge: 1/10

The instructors are all friendly, patient and professional. I love Mambo Productions!

I've been in 4 sessions of Maria's tango classes over the last few years and I have to say she's an…read moreAMAZING dance instructor. I grew up not believing I could dance even though I loved moving to the music. For some reason her style is one that really resonates with me and I can pick up some very complicated nuances of the dance quite easily. I've taken other tango classes from other well known studios and something is missing that Maria adds and I some how grasp the concept and can embody it. He teaching is taken very slowly, and a partipant has learned a lot more about moving in dance before they ever learn the basic steps - and I can tell you that's done wonders to my ability to follow a leader (because I can memorize steps well and take over!). I wouldn't say I'm an expert dancer or will ever be looking forward to anything more than feeling like a average person in a social dance situation but that's miles ahead of what I thought I would be capable of. I've been to a handful of schools and instructors in the city for a few different dances over the years, if you're interested in really learning tango this is the instructor for you!

Not only that, but he a genuinely nice guy, responsible and easy to work with. He's not your too-cool DJ that will make people feel alienated.

Which is why I'll play music until the last person stops dancing or the venue kicks us out. I'll play the music you want. Before your wedding we'll discuss your day, your favourite tracks and any songs to avoid - such as The Macarena. We'll also discuss your guests and their interests, and special moments that require specific music - like the first dance and the tossing of the bouquet. Everybody has their own favourite aspect of a wedding, some people love the gathering of families while others appreciate the symbolism. My favourite part of a wedding is when everyone lets loose and celebrates on the dance floor. And it is a celebration!
