About this pro

Personalized Dance Program

Success in learning frequently depends on finding the right Dance Teacher; someone who knows the subject well and understands how to inspire others.

My teaching style focuses on skills training, but also emphasizes self-exploration and discovering a passion for something new.

I enjoy being part of the beautiful process of personal evolution. From shy beginner to confident dancer.

This is priceless form me!

Simone is just the best teacher you could wish for. He is always in a great mood and ready to explain over and over again whatever is needed. I would highly recommend him!

I've talked to Simone and we've arranged for the first class toward the end of the month. I'm looking forward to it.

Simone has taken on a group of us that work together and want to have a little fun learning new dance moves! Simone is such a great teacher. He explains dance steps in a practical and easy way to remember. Simone also makes learning fun with his very cool personality! Whether you have been dancing for years or are just starting like many of us, book some lessons with Simone! He will make you look good at your next dance party! You will not be disappointed!

Simone is a great dance teacher and not only will you learn a lot but you will also have lots fun. He always inspires me to want to come back week after week to improve on my skills. I always feel energized after I leave a lesson. As a teacher Simone is very honest and sincere. He wants all of his students to be successful. Everyone loves him. You will not be disappointed when you take a lesson from him. It is well worth the money.❤️ Oh, and if you are getting married and want to look fabulous for that special dance.....Simone can make it happen for you!!!

What is your typical process for working with a new student?

First of all we need an Intro Session. So, we can get to know each other.
You need to see the I am a real good fit for you!

Depending from the dance goals discussed during the Intro, I will recommend what's the best way you can continue.
Usually I do Session Blocks. With those I will be able to create your personalized dance program (for social dancing, competition, performance/showcase or wedding dance).

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have started dancing when I was 9 years old.
My knowledge is extended from the Afro-Cuban roots to the sophisticated Ballroom dances.
In 2005 I have won the World Championship (Mediterranean Cup) of Caribbean Multi-Dance.

How did you get started teaching?

Teaching Has alway been natural for me.
My dance/teaching career began around the age of 10, when a fortuitous coincidence found me watching Michael Jackson's videos, and it was from this coincedence that I passionately decided to put myself into the world of dance.
Drawing inspiration from my idol, I staged one of my favorite Michael Jackson videos at age 11- Billie Jean (one of MJ's first solo videos). But this was not enough, as I wanted my own show. I was also inspired by Smooth Criminal, another MJ video, and so I created a show with it and I made choreography for more than 50 children between the ages of 6 and 15 years old, and we also performed the final Mambo famously known from the movie Dirty Dancing.

What types of students have you worked with?
