Hear from the Salsa Challenge Students
“I felt something click last evening in the Cuban Casino class – It was the most fun I’ve had dancing in a long time. I dance-walked through the supermarket after. It’s all seeping in!”
- Brett Astor
“I just wanted to let you know that I think you and Sam are fantastic teachers and I really appreciate the solid technique that you are teaching us. I can’t think of any other teachers who could bring me up to the next level of Salsa dancing as efficiently as you will. I am really looking forward to the next session!” – Nathalie McComb
“I have to admit that I didn’t expect to walk out with as much as I did when I first signed up for this class. I thought once you had down the basics you didn’t need to understand anything else but as a follow who needed to learn how to listen to her partner, the basic salsa challenge dance class certainly gave me the knowledge and tools to do just that. I learned to understand the direction my partner was driving me thanks to the salsa connection, I learned how to keep my footwork with my partner and the beat despite any mess ups I may have created…and I learned to just let myself go and have fun with the dance because I was taught the confidence that my technique was right and I knew what I was doing. Jenny and Sam are amazingly supportive teachers that explain and review everything in detail and I would suggest this course to anyone looking to start salsa dancing. Technique plus fun makes it all come together. Thanks again!” – Keyra Jallah
“Great Teachers!!! I’ve taken various salsa classes around Boulder, and I have to say that Salsa Challenge dance classes are by far the best! They teach you what having a salsa connection with a dance partner is all about, which can enable you to lead or follow with just about anyone. You may not get what I’m talking about until you take a class. Classes are in a fun, relaxed atmosphere and they never make you feel bad about making mistakes or when you’re just not getting it. They’ll work with you until you do! I recommend Salsa Challenge classes to anyone who wants to learn salsa right the first time or work on becoming a better dancer, while learning new moves with fun and easy styling for guys and girls. Salsa Challenge dance classes revolutionized my dancing! Thanks Sam and Jenny!”
- Keera Cohens
“Sam and Jenny have given me the opportunity to learn Salsa in a relaxed and fun environment. You definitely don’t have to be flawless to have a great time. They are very patient teachers and guide you every step of the way. I have been dancing different styles with them for 1+ years. There is so much to learn, but they really get you ready for a night out dancing in no time. Their teaching style enables you to get out there and dance with most everyone using their salsa connection technique. Thanks for everything!”
-Dani Barberel
“Salsa Challenge is a great way to get started with salsa dancing. Sam and Jenny break down what seem to be very complex moves to several basic steps that can be put together with some styling and look really awesome. Learning those basic elements and the salsa connection will give anyone a great foundation for salsa dancing.” – Josh Munger
“Sam & Jenny – Thank you for all we learned, for all the insights and practice, I thoroughly enjoyed the lessons and would like to continue. Pease keep me on your invite list for future events, I will certainly keep working on my Salsa skills.” – Hubert
“Sam and Jenny, you both are great instructors! Your classes are packed with useful moves, styling, footwork and technique information and you both are always good natured and encouraging. Having taken your “Salsa Challenge” class every Monday night, back to back sessions, for over 1 year I went from utter beginner to where I’m today. I frequently recommend to other dancers of any level to study with you both! Many thanks.” - Dan Pailis
“I kept seeing — and ignoring — advertisements for Style & Technique classes because I thought I was too busy keeping up with my partner dancing to even consider developing my own salsa flare, if you will. But the thing is, the more comfortable you are with how the dance feels, with how your torso and hips move, and with the actual styling moves themselves, you become more confident, more creative, and ultimately a better dancer. What Jenny teaches in this class is simple and fun, and it’s a lesson you don’t get in other classes or on the dance floor, which is unfortunate, because it’s really what helps you take your salsa to the next level. Plus it’s an hour and a half long, it’s good exercise with an exceptional playlist (that I covet), and it’s all women so no one’s watching while you practice shaking it like you mean it. What’s not to love? I’m actually signing up again because I fell off the salsa wagon this summer and I need to clamber back on with the aid of a little Salsa Challenge tune-up.” – Noelle Nicholson
