I had a lot of fun learning basic steps and turns in beginner salsa, and I’m highly likely to return for bachata. Soul and Nadège are great instructors who lead their classes with care, passion and humour. I especially appreciate when they took time to explain how to execute moves safely and respectfully when dancing with a partner. I’m also very appreciative of the assistant instructors who also contribute to the fun environment – shout out to Laura and Rhina!

My wife and I enrolled in a beginner bachata class at StudioX a couple of months ago, not sure what to expect. Fast forward and we are so happy that we did!
The instructor Soul and the assistants in the class are so friendly and take the time to ensure that the class is light, fun and that you’ve got the steps down. I’ve had no previous formal dance training and was able to pick up the steps!
We’re now in the Intermediate Bachata class with Nadege and are still having so much fun! We both look forward to our class every week! Thanks to the instructors at StudioX!
