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. 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!
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.
I LOVE my private lessons here. You get the bang for your buck and so much more. I’ve taken classes at the most popular places in the city and no one stacks up to 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.
