Took a Cumbia class with a friend of mine and we both agree Cinnamon is approachable and easy to follow in class. He helped me smooth out a couple of rough spots so my timing was right and feet go in the right direction. Really enjoyed it. Also Felix and the crew are really awesome at teaching Hustle.

Salsa Level 1 complete! I wanted to complete level one to give an accurate review and I am not disappointed. I am Puerto Rican and quite frankly a disgrace because I cannot dance at all. Maria and everyone that works in the studio is amazing. They really take the time to make sure you understand the steps and give you ample opportunities to practice even after class. There are guided socials and just socials to practice your skills when classes are not in session. While sometimes it’s hard to get a hold of them outside of class, if you just show up after registering, they take such great care of you! 5 stars for my fake Hispanic behind trying to fake it til I make it. Definitely sign up, take a chance, meet Great people in the same boat as you and have a blast!

Maria and her sister really know how to dance and lead a class! They make driving 45m worth it. I have two left feet but in secret wish I could dance, so for New Years I challenged myself to face my fears and make my dreams come true. Maria breaks the full dance into pieces and makes sure everyone mastered the round before moving to the next, so no man left behind. And when you need more guidance she says/teaches in a way that empowers. Definitely the best decision I’ve made, and will be taking all levels and classes. Whether single or married, this is such a good atmosphere to meet new people, get out the house, and learn something new. If you aren’t able to do a full 6weeks program, she puts on these socials for you to come and move your body for the evening. Absolutely amazing instructor, she was made for this! Highly recommend!!!

There are plenty of instructors in Tampa who are great salsa dancers, but few who are really good at teaching their craft. Maria and her staff at Dancin Motion really know how to teach you what it takes to be one of those great dancers. They give you every opportunity to get better at dancing, whether that's by repeating classes at no cost, offering drop-in workshops, or attending their weekly socials. If you want to learn how to dance, you will learn at DMSA. It's also a very family oriented studio, so there's no need to be embarrassed or ashamed. Everyone is very helpful including the students. That's the type of culture DMSA has.
