My wife Jody and myself had a lot of fun and learned a lot at Rico Bravo's Dance Academy. Rico was very passionate about his dance classes as well as very patient with his students. We progressed, step by step until we were no longer embarrassed to be seen on a Salsa dance floor. I would recommend his classes to anyone interested in learning Salsa dancing. Thanks
