Anthony is an amazing instructor and made the true beginner salsa class such a great experience. You can tell he genuinely loves teaching and cares about helping each student improve. He broke down the steps in a simple, clear way that made learning fun and stress-free. The class had great energy, and I walked away feeling more confident and excited to keep dancing. Whether you’re brand new or just looking to build a solid foundation, this is the perfect place to start. Highly recommend giving it a try!Posted on Google![]()

La maestra Karla ha sido una gran inspiración para mi y El sabor de Houston una grandiosa plataforma donde he avanzado a lo largo de los años en este bello camino de la danza. Karla nos comparte en cada clase sus mejores técnicas, con nada se queda ella siempre se muestra orgullosa de vernos mejorar, la energía y la vibra en el estudio es algo que no puedo explicar, es el lugar perfecto para aprender avanzar bailar, y en lo personal estas clases que he tomado me ha ayudado a enfrentar mis miedos tener más autoconfianza, y a mejorar mucho en el baile individual y en pareja.
