Hear What Students Say
Del once told me that I would give up on me before he gave up on me, and he was right! Del is so patient. I’m not the quickest learner or the best dancer, but he’s very attuned to the strengths and weaknesses of his students…he doesn’t rush his students. Because of that, my skills have improved. He’s a very observant instructor. He’s an awesome dancer. And he’s very passionate about Salsa/Mambo. If you’re intimidated by the thought of privates, as I was, don’t be. He puts his students at ease. Every class is energy-filled and fun!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my private lessons here! You are getting the bang for your buck and soooo much more. I’ve taken classes at the MOST popular places in the city and NO ONE, I mean NO ONE stacks up the the knowledge and understanding of how the body works and moves like Del! This is the best kept secret in the city ( well, not anymore because I just told you!
There are a lot of great dance teachers in Chicago, but for salsa, Del is the best. Hands down. Whether you are a lead or a follow, he can quickly pinpoint what is holding you back and set you on a path to improve. His lessons are always a blast and the studio community he has engendered is full of supportive, fun, and talented people. Whether you are just starting out or looking to raise your salsa game, Del is your best option.
