“Laurie Ann has great sense in just looking or dancing the move with you where she can pinpoint exactly if your arm isn't giving your partner enough space or if your hand is sending a confusing signal by being placed just too far to the left etc.”

“Instruction focuses on correct technique and mechanics, not the most turn or or prettiest lines, which is perfect if you're just taking classes for a bit of movement and exercise.”

“It was easy to follow along and they did a great job adjusting to a virtual instructing environment over video conferencing - it was a seamless way to still enjoy salsa dancing.”
