What Our Students Say
“Mané and Roger are the dream team. We find it very helpful to get instruction from both the leader’s and follower’s viewpoint. We learn new patterns easily because they break them down step by step and we love their focus on style and technique. They are patient, kind and enthusiastic. They love West Coast swing and we love learning it from them.”
Melanie & Dave
“Roger and Mané were excellent dance teachers. We came to them at the last moment in a panic to prepare for our son’s wedding. They not only reassured us but also took us from being novices to being confident enough to do the Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dances at really short notice. And we have great pictures to prove this! We highly recommend them for all of your dancing needs.”
