What a wonderful way to spend an hour! Norbert is skilled and kind in his instruction. He is precise and clear. I very much enjoyed starting my salsa journey with him! Thank you for your consideration of a new-ish dancer.

Norbert is an incredible dance instructor.
My fiancé and I are just a couple of newbies but from the very first lesson, he made us feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely excited to learn. His patience, kindness, and deep knowledge really stand out, and you can tell he truly cares about his students and their progress.
He has such a calm and encouraging way of teaching, and he made something that felt a bit intimidating at first become even more fun and enjoyable than we could’ve expected. We always leave our lessons feeling even better than when we arrived.

The best dance instructor, Norbert took my Husband Gerry and I as his clients on what he referred to as an “emergency case” our wedding was a mere 5 days away when he met us. He spent hours teaching my husband and I both how to dance and choreographing an entire dance routine. Somehow, he did it! We were able to make our first dance something special despite all odds. Norbert was funny, easy to learn from, attentive and clearly cares about his students. I would suggest using Norbert for any and all dancing needs. We were quite sad when our sessions were over and if we lived in the area (or even the same province) we would be continuing lessons with him just for fun.
Thank you Norbert for all your hard work, we will never forget you.

When I first heard she signed us up for dance lessons, I was sceptical. How could anyone teach me, a big clumsy heavy-footed man, to dance? Well Norbert did, and he did it very well. It was easy to navigate the lessons, he had a great positive attitude and took the time to make sure we understood before moving on to the next lesson. We go a round of applause halfway through our dance and we only had 5 lessons! Highly recommend if you are a groom and want to wow your guests. Double high five because in dance it’s high 10 !

a West Coast Swing success story. Nicole followed her passion for WCS by taking private lessons in our studio because group lessons elsewhere did not provide the skills and confidence she aspired to. With GREAT enthusiasm and dedication she build up a solid foundation in skillful footwork and expert following. Her hard work payed off pretty quickly. Aleady in 2024 she finished third in the Jack & Jill division in a competition in Michigan., where she met John Lindo. (Pic below)
This year she earned her first FIRST place in the Novice division at the TOSHC in Toronto. Recently followed by her second FIRST place in the Novice Strictly division, a second place in the Novice Jack & Jill division and a third place in the Novice Pro-Am division, also in Toronto.
What a talent , what a dedication and what an achievement in just 3 years.
CONGRATULATIONS Nicole
