Very professional & clear instruction - I was the only student! Bem Vind was the instructor. He explained very clear about each step. Very professional with counts and accent of each step. He went right to the dance and I just followed him, he stopped and explained when he saw I did not get it, then we kept repeating until I felt comfortable. We did across the floor and turns, forward & backwards. This is a crash course, being a dance director of ballet and modern dance, Samba is quite challenging for me. I wish I stay for a week to take the class daily. He taught the class that we used the whole space.

Energetic teacher, basic dancing - Very energetic teacher. He kept it fun, if quite basic. They offered us a full refund after a scheduling snafu, which was kind.

Overall a satisfactory experience - Enjoyed the course overall! The course was perfectly suited for us as beginners, starting from very simple, specific movements. I think 90 minutes would have been a more suitable length (than the 60 minutes we got), but that’s just my personal preferance. The room was too small for the number of people attending, which was a real drawback, but we still had a good time!

Nog what we were expecting - Booked this on the misapprehension that there was going to be a crowd and a bit of fun. Turned up an only us and another couple. It was a bona fide dance class. Not what we were looking for so left before it began.
