I am a 2022 bride and I honestly don't know how I would be able to get through without Lenny. On top of being a bride, I was also going to school for my masters, working full time, and was starting an internship. I am also not the most detailed person, so Lenny provided suggestions throughout the way. Lenny provide time and patience to help me organize my thoughts and my vision for my wedding. She even went the extra mile to support me during setup. She was completely hands on. My venue was outdoors and out of the whole month of October, my wedding day was the only day it rained. Lenny did a great job in making sure everything went as planned and we were able to celebrate all of our cultural traditions regardless of rain or shine. I am truly thankful for Lenny as our Day of Coordinator because she took so much pressure off my shoulders so that I was able to enjoy my night with my husband! read more

Lenny is definitely the best dance instructor i have ever met. She's full of energy and puts her heart into all she does. My daughters took the chiquiita classes which taught them dance moves but also the origins of the specific dance style. The girls loved performing for the amazing recital show. I have also taken some fitness at Danzone and again Lenny is the best. She spreads her energy to the whole crowd, and makes you move! Love this place! read more

Lenny, the best dance instructor. My daughters sweet 15 came out perfect because of her. Thank you so much Lenny, you made my event everything I imagined it would be. read more

I came to Danzone with 3 years of dance experience under my belt and Lenny's instruction propelled my dancing to the stratosphere. I committed to 1 full year of her Advance Salsa class and the results were astounding. Within weeks I received compliments from many other social dancers. They complimented me on my turns, weight distribution, patience and ability to follow. Lenny is a high-quality dance instructor of the greatest caliber. The first day I walked in we danced 30 seconds of a salsa and she was able to point out my weaknesses AND gave me the tools to correct them. SInce that first day I have been able to build on everything she has taught me. Lenny is patient, funny, kind, warm, knowledgeable, active, experienced and one of the best instructors I have ever had the pleasure to learn from. She is responsible for the growth in my salsa and I recommend her and her studio, Danzone, to everyone. read more

I have taught Folklorico (Mexican dance) for over 30 years and I can truly say that these salsa classes are AWESOME!!! Lenny, the dance instructor, explains all steps and hand movements so well that even my husband, who had zero dance experience (and I do mean zero!), and very little sense of rhythm, can now dance an entire salsa dance! He does an excellent job at leading, and he dances with other partners besides me. Sooo if you want to learn how to dance to this energetic music this IS the class for you!!! YOU'LL LOVE IT!!! read more

Lenny is the best dance instructor. She is very helpful and patient. She took the time explain and also get my daughter to open up about what she likes in music and artist. My daughters Quince was a success. My daughter and her friends enjoyed the practices. Also the father and daughter dance was beautiful. I highly recommend anyone who needs a choreographer and MC Lenny is your person. My husband and I will be taking salsa classes soon. I'm looking forward to learn to dance and have fun. Thank you Lenny for all your help and for making my baby girls quince one to remember. read more

I really think it's time that I update my review considering I've been going here, on and off, for about 2 years. Lenny, in my opinion, is the best Zumba instructor. I drive all the way here from Chatsworth twice a week to attend her classes. She is fun and she is funny. I like her little jokes every now and then during our classes. I like her songs because I feel sexy dancing to Daddy Yankee. Now I didn't say I look sexy because maybe I look a bit dorky but I feel hott! Nothing feels better(with the exception of a few things), than Zumba with Lenny, shower, and bed. I have the best sleep Monday and Wednesday nights. The classes get pretty full nowadays but I try to get there early to keep my spot. Other than Lenny being so awesome, I like the ladies in the class. I tried a Zumba class that was right by my house but I didn't feel comfortable with the other 'classmates.' I feel comfortable to shake it here and I'm sure everyone else feels the same way. I 100000% recommend Lenny's class to anyone who is looking into getting in shape and stay in shape. She will make you sweat! read more

If you are looking for a choreographer to help with your daughter's special day, look no further. My family and I were so lucky to find Lenny. She was recommended to us by a friend and I am so grateful. My daughter wanted to have a beautiful waltz and a surprise dance that everyone would love and talk about. We received so many compliments at the end of the night about how beautiful everything had turned out. Lenny is very fun and energetic. She is very professional and listens to exactly what the quinceañera and the parents are looking for. My daughter and her court looked forward to Sundays to meet with her to rehearse the waltz and surprise dance and now that the quince is over, we miss meeting with her. I appreciate that because it wasn't just about the quince day, but the couple of months before the event that were a great experience. Lenny also helped me coordinate and be the MC for the night and, wow, she was amazing. Because she was there, I was able to relax and focus on enjoying the night with my family and guest while she handled the rest. I do strongly believe that Lenny made a big difference in my daughter's quinceañera and know that if you decide to have her be part of that experience, you won't regret it. Thanks Lenny!! You are awesome!!! read more

Danzone is a great place to learn how to dance salsa. I just finished my first beginners class 6 week course with Lenny and it was a great experience. Totally recommend it for those looking to try out salsa lessons for the first time and you do not have a partner to go try them out with. Will be going back soon!!!!! read more

My daughter has been taking hip hop and a chiquitas classes for the last five months. I can tell she really enjoys it. Lenny has a lot passion for what she does and it comes out in the kids that take her classes. My daughter can be shy about performing in front of people she doesn't know...but the passion and love of dance that Lenny displays effortlessly; offers my daughter the chance to forget about it all. read more

Being a Mother of two girls, I always dreamed of the perfect Quinceanera from the day they were born. When the time came I had several choices to pick a choreographer for the waltz and surprise dances. I am not sure how we heard about Lenny, but from the day we walked into her business she took a load of my back. My two daughters and I had so much fun planning their Quince, going to quince expos, choosing the hall, cake, food, D.J. flower arrangements, photographer, church, but the best part was the Sundays that we met with Lenny. All the kids that took part in the waltz where always ready and eager for those Sundays. Teenagers are not always the best to work with specially football players, but Lenny had so much energy and patients every Sunday was different and that kept the kids motivated. My baby girl turned 15 two years ago, her Quince was so beautiful everyone loved her waltz and the father and daughter dance was awesome our friends and relatives where still talking about it months after that special day. My recommendation to any mother planning a Quinceanera, give Lenny a call and before you chose a choreographer sit in one of her quince session you will not regret it. Oh I forgot to mentioned Lenny was also our MC, don't let her size fool you she is a tiny person with a very big voice she had the whole hall always rooting for the quinceanera and the quince court Thank You Lenny! read more

I love coming here to learn. They are nice, patient and have a friendly environment! They have helped me to become the great dancer that i am! read more

I checked the reviews before I took private lessons from the owner/ instructor, Lenny Castillo. I paid for 10 private lessons for $400.00 On the 4 the appointment Lenny was a no show. I called the business 3 times and finally a month later she called me. I was very disappointed and asked for $200 back since I was no longer interested in getting lessons from a flake. Mind you I already paid upfront and politely told her I expected my money back or I would write an honest review. The check was supposed to be in the mail over 2 weeks ago so she never refunded my money. I also made a formal compliant with the BBB . What kind of business owner expects no consequences If she is unethical and not a trustworthy person. read more

I've taken classes all over Los Angeles County and can say that one of the area's truly hidden gems is Leny Montes at Danzone. She's clear, patient, enthusiastic and friendly. Her energy and enthusiasm are clearly evident not only in the excellent instruction but in the students as well. I've taken more than my fair share of Salsa Classes and can honestly say that the students at Danzone get more than there money's worth. If you're looking to learn to dance Salsa, this is the place to do it. read more

I love this place! I've been going to Danzone since 2008 and Lenny's way of teaching and incorporating socialization into the class definitely makes it one of my favorite places to be. Lenny is a wonderful instructor, always there to help and give her students and community a helping hand. She is more than just an instructor because she becomes a friend to you. I have taken her salsa classes, been on her performance team, taken her zumba classes, other fitness classes and have had the privilege to teach some classes as well. She also does great choreography for quince's and weddings, or anything else you might want.This place is a positive business to the community, providing high quality dance classes at a very reasonable price. Lenny has given more than 100% to her business and it shows. Definitely a place to be in the San Fernando valley. read more

I have been coming to Danzone on and off for over two years and I have to say that I love it and look forward to each and every class I take. Lenny truly provides a great environment for people that want to explore a new passion and she constantly looks for new and exciting classes to offer the community. She is very precise and detail oriented in her instruction of Salsa dancing and wants her students to excel. She also works with professional and skillful instructors to offer classes such as Yoga, Zumba, Bachata and now Kizomba. What is even better is that students get to practice their newfound skills during monthly socials where they can demonstrate their knowledge and meet great new people. It's a great place that provides happiness and a sense of art and community. Check it out- you won't regret it. read more
