"Marcelo
is a lifesaver! My husband and I had taken salsa
classes at a local dance school, which is known for
their high prices and speedy classes. We did not
learn anywhere near what we needed for a full
routine for our wedding dance after 5 classes!
Frustrated and worried, we ran across Marcelo's
info and signed right up. He was charming, patient
and so incredibly talented- and not to mention
convenient- he came to our home!
From day one, we learned more in that hour than in
5 classes at the other place. He put together a
beautiful salsa routine that wowed our guests to
the point that most thought we were avid salsa
dancers! We were really thrilled with the results
and referred him to another friend who got married
1 month before us, and they LOVED their routine as
well!
Thanks Marcelo- you're truly gifted!"

"I have taken private salsa lessons with Marcelo
Rivero, I have to tell you he is the most patient
teacher I have ever met. He teaches with such ease
and has the most perfect techniques. I truly
recommend him for new beginners and for any pro who
want to practice and learn new combinations with a
Real Professional."

"Thank you so much for the last couple of weeks. I
really was discouraged to dance before attending
one of your workshops. Now I feel like I could
accomplish anything if I put my mind to it. I also
wanted to thank you for your undivided attention
and patience during the workshop. I feel like I am
able to correct my minor mistakes with your help of
figuring out what they are. Looking forward to more
of those workshops! See you on the dance floor :-)"

"Marcelo is not only an incredible dancer, with
smooth moves and positive disposition, he is an
even better instructor. Aside from his
encouragement, he has a way of finding out exactly
what is needed to take you, as an individual, to
the next level in your dancing. He has a way of
pinpointing problem areas and finds the perfect
words or gesture to help his students correct them.
I have not only had the privilege of dancing with
Marcelo, I have also derived the benefits of being
his student in both Salsa and Argentine Tango. To
this day, I have not met anyone better!"

"I liked the way you were very patient with
me...although the dance looks difficult, you make
it seem easy to me. Something I felt intimidated to
dance before."

I am so happy I had a private lesson with you. Our
time together certainly helped me with some basic
information that I have never been told. Spacing
between partners, when to let go of hands, how to
follow a lead, when to style, size of steps taken
and even how to fake it a bit
to look like a pro...ha!ha!. You presented
everything in a way that was very
easy to understand and follow. THANK YOU!

"I wanted to drop you a quick note of gratitude. I
really enjoyed taking your workshop. I'm so lucky
to have found a dedicated and patient instructor
like you. I find myself filled with more confidence
when I step out on the dance floor. You should see
me dance now!
Thanks again for making dancing more fun.

"Recently worked with Marcelo at an advanced level
and was able to make great strides forward with my
traveling turns, spins, foot placement and hip/leg
turnout, proper body placement, expression,
movement and styling. Social dancing improved
immensely!"

"You are an excellent instructor! You are patient,
dedicated, and concerned about the student's
learning process. Thank you for taking time to
explain the timing and rhythm in each motion. Your
respect for and understanding of the student's
apprehensions is
much appreciated. Thanks.
