LA Salsa and Bachata Dance Academy

A+! 100! 5 stars! Alexis has been the BEST dance instructor I could have ever asked for! I have had the pleasure of knowing her for over six years…from private wedding dance lessons with my ex (marriage did not work out but finding my dance instructor soulmate did LOL), to a new love this year for group latin dance. Dance has filled my spirit with the purest joy, during a very challenging and healing part of my life. It has been such a pleasure to learn from Alexis, meet new friends, have 2 hours of blissful learning & dance weekly…she even sets up beach dancing and going out to dance venues for fun! Alexis is truly a beautiful person, inside and out. She teaches with a constant smile on her face, music and her soul and kindness in her heart. She is so incredibly patient, whether teaching privately or multiple people at once. Her technique is impeccable and she really focuses on proper form, movement and flow. You are learning real movement and proper technique with her, but in a very non-judgmental, patient and compassionate environment…not to mention, it is so fun to make new friends and alternate dance partners in a cozy setting. I am so happy that I have found my home, and look forward to continuing group dance with Alexis for years to come! Thank you Alexis for being an incredible dance instructor & soul sister

dancing with Alexis at LA salsa and bachata dance academy has been such an incredible experience. The classes are truly so helpful in building technique. Alexis herself is super encouraging and will meet you where you’re at skill-wise and help train you from there. I love the small class sizes because I genuinely feel like I takeaway something new every class and I don’t get lost in the numbers. She also goes so out of her way and has us all go out social dancing together to help build confidence which is so fun and everyone is so welcoming ❤️ I am so grateful for being part of this community

I can't recommend this salsa and bachata dance school enough! Alexis, our instructor, is truly exceptional. Her vibrant energy and infectious enthusiasm make every class an absolute joy. Beyond her amazing dancing and teaching skills, Alexis excels at creating a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for dance. Her positivity and humor light up the studio, making each lesson fun and engaging. What sets Alexis apart is her meticulous attention to technique, which takes students' skills to an entirely new level. If you're looking to improve your dancing and be part of a supportive community, this is the place to be!

Alexis is a wonderfully engaging and expert dance teacher. Her teaching style is encouraging and warm, with an emphasis on fundamentals and technique. I have a dance background but not specifically with salsa, and was really interested in getting better at it since there's such a big and thriving salsa dance community in LA. I love that she challenges me while making every class fun—two hours go by so so quickly. Beyond the dancing itself, Alexis has also cultivated a special community that's uplifting, welcoming, and full of positivity/good vibes. You can't buy that! For anyone thinking about trying a class, don't think twice. You will be so happy you did it and honestly, it's so addictive. We might have to peel you off the dance floor!

Alexis is an awesome instructor! Since attending her class we haven’t looked for other studios and have been dancing with her for a year now 🙂 She is a very talented teacher who cares about technique. If you are a beginner or even if you have taken dance lessons before Alexis can teach you something new! I used to dance ballroom and am very impressed with the way she teaches. She is also a very sweet and welcoming person who creates a great sense of community! The class will often go to salsa/bachata socials together 🙂 Her class is truly one of a kind and I would highly recommend it!
