There is really nothing like it anywhere else in RTP, and no matter what your skill level, you will quickly find that this is a perfect mix of challenging and fun curriculum that Eduardo has crafted to take you to your best A-game in dancing.
Paso Dance Studio is a hidden gem in Durham that is worth every penny.
Response: Wow! Now this made our day!
Fun stuff!
My girlfriend and I had a blast at our first class night and everyone was very welcoming. From what I hear most of Paso intro classes attract a lot of people..last night the attendance was heavy. But we still learned all the steps taught and were very satisfied overall. We both liked that there was NO COUNTING!!
Great..but a bit crowded at paso
I will say that class was fantastic! I had no problem learning the material, and was able to apply some of Nadia\'s connection tips on the dance floor. I gave only four stars because it was beginner and I felt the class could have been a little more effective at a smaller size. That was my ownly complaint. Thank you.
Response: Yes! Things were a bit crowded during the summer. Since then we have a implemented a registration system with a capacity cap, so that we don\'t have 40 people arm to arm. :-) Thanks for the feedback Rohit.
Simply the best!
Simply the best class I have ever taken. Thanks Eduardo.
go for it!
I took this class with paso about a year ago. The instructors are super, and it seemed like I learned more in this one class then 8 weeks in another!!
This is a very good place to learn a style of salsa closer to what we learned in Peru. go for it.
Lovin Cuban Salsa!!
This class has been really fun and I have learned a lot! Eduardo is a great instructor and very patient. I had no salsa experience coming into this class so don't be afraid to try it! you will love it!
