Private Lessons:

Private lessons are available by appointment. They are held at my personal air conditioned home studio with mirror, dance floor and sound system in Burbank. The cost is $50 per hour for one or two students. $10 per hour per additional student (4 students max). A written break-down of all the material covered in your private lesson is provided as part of my service. In addition to Salsa, I also teach beginner level Cha Cha Cha, Bachata and Merengue. I'm currently available on Monday & Thursday evenings at 5:00* & 7:00* P.M. & Tuesdays at 6:00 P.M. thru March 23, 2010. Also most weekdays during the day. I'm also available for group classes through Hollie Lee at Bodygroove Dance Fitness. Call her at 818-548-2522 or e-mail her at hollie@bodygroove.net for rates & scheduling. (*subject to change)

  • In addition to my one on one private Salsa lessons, my dance partner and teaching assistant Nicole Inman is available as an added instructor or as your dance partner for your private lesson for only a $15 additional per hour fee!!  You'll get the best of both of us as well as a very competent class dance partner that is very familiar with all the material I teach. She is available on a per appointment basis so please let me know if you would like her services added to your private lesson.

Please contact me for appointment or additional information:

I have taught well over five hundred private lessons and here is what  a few students wrote about their private lesson:

We've had a great time taking lessons with you. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone. Thanks again! - D.J., Burbank

This has been a  great experience for us and we could not have asked for a better instructor. We have learned so much and feel more comfortable on the dance floor.  We have truly had a wonderful time, as we do not see you as an instructor, but as a wonderful friend!!! - G.S., Northridge

You are a great instructor, and give good lessons. I truly appreciate your time as well. It was great and I enjoyed it. Things are MUCH more clear now. The tips are/were great, and very helpful. Looking forward for the next session. - K.B.,- Burbank

Thanks for the great lesson... extra time.... and the follow-up! It's good to be able to sit back and visualize. - T.C., Burbank

Thank you again for yesterday's lesson, and for your patience for both of us. I look forward to learning more from you, so that I'll have more confidence and be able to lead on the dance floor. - R.G., North Hollywood

I had a great time... thanks so much, Orlando! It feels more like mentoring than buying a private. Great tips. -Thanks again for the inspiration... T.C., Burbank

I think that I have to thank YOU for being such a helpful, supportive, and great instructor!- S.Y., Burbank

I had a great time yesterday!!! it was quite a workout.. CD was playing this morning and in my office today. (love it) thanks!  Thank you so much for my lesson and for sure I will see you tonight. - I.C., North Hollywood

Not only are you a great teacher... but you make it so damn fun! The breakdowns really help as my brain goes a little fuzzy after a couple of days not practicing what we learned. Great tip section! Looking forward to Tuesday. - T.C., Burbank

You are a TERRIFIC instructor! I couldn't have asked for more! I can't thank you enough for what I've learned. ALSO, thanks for being encouraging! Helps the old morale a WHOLE bunch! - S.Y., Burbank

WOW!! This is AWESOME ... (On the written step breakdown) C.L., Sylmar

Orlando! You're a good friend, fun to be with, and a good motivator and teacher. T.C., Burbank

The private class was very helpful and fun! I cannot wait to have more private classes to polish our steps. The breakdown is awesome!! R.D., Glendale

What a fun lesson, Orlando! T.C., Burbank

Just one more thing I wanted to mention and that is to say how much I am thankful to you as a great instructor who's helped me to develop the passion I have for Salsa, considering that I've never danced before. Thank you for your patience and motivation on every lesson I've had with you so far. R.G., Van Nuys

"J" and I both had a really great time last night with you.  Not only did we learn a lot, we had so much fun while doing it!  You’re the best, Orlando! J.C., Burbank

Not only do we learn a lot when we work with you... but it's always fun! T.C. & J.Z.., Burbank

I had sooo much fun! I can't wait until next time. L.P., Pasadena

Thank you very much for all of your help.  I look forward to studying with the breakdown and musica. can't wait for our next private lesson. D.G., Los Angeles

Orlando!  Thanks again for the lesson.  That was a lot of fun. Hard to go back to work.... V.N., Los Angeles

Just wanted to thank you again for your time, I acknowledge that you are a busy instructor and I appreciate you offering to help me last night. I had a lot of fun and with your skills and (Name) help made it a lot easier to learn. C.A., Rancho Cucamonga

Thanks so much, Orlando. You truly are an inspiration. T.C., Burbank

 
WOWWWW!!! Orlando, you out did your self with all of this information!   This is really great.  Everything is so detailed and clear.  I did not expect all of this.  You really deliver above and beyond.  Your fine tuning tips "turned on the light bulb" in my head as to becoming a better and better dancer.  So much good stuff I can't remember it all.  But....I have noticed that your teaching style allows my subconscious and my body to learn things that my mind is not aware of.  What a great feeling to have that happen and notice our dancing improving almost effortlessly. I wish I had known before how valuable your lessons are.  We will absolutely be taking more lessons from you in the future.  I can imagine a time in the future, really tearing up the dance floor, feeling great and having a blast....and looking back on this lesson with you as having been the start of it. S.S., Burbank
 
Hi Orlando. Thank you so much for going the 'extra mile' for us last night. You are very special. It was a great help to me. K.D., Burbank
 
Thanks again for everything. You are the best instructor I ever had. R.D., Glendale
 
We just wanted to thank you for tonight's private session - we had lots of fun and really appreciated the special attention to fine tune our steps! J. & R. A., Northridge
 
Thank you, Orlando! Both J and I had a GREAT time last night. As J said, "You are the best"! We're going to practice hard and are really looking forward to our next class session with you! J. C., Burbank
 
Orlando! We really appreciate your help and extra attention. Your private lesson is worth every penny, if only just "talking about it!" Your dedication to the subject at hand (or foot?) and your enthusiastic, yet cool demeanor add up to a winning combination. It's a treat to be associated with you! J.G., Burbank
 
Hi Orlando. Wow, you are quick. Thanks so much! I have a notebook made up of all the breakdowns you gave us from the first lesson and now these so it is awesome. K.D., Burbank
 
I really had a good time learning the technique, you are a good teacher with patience. U.C., Valencia
 
Thank you so much for the excellent private Salsa lesson!!! We absolutely loved it. "D" and I really enjoyed the evening learning and dancing with you. Your method of teaching Salsa is perfect. Because of your unique style, "D" is once again encouraged to take lessons. I can’t thank you enough for helping me get my dance partner to “feel da beat” and start dancing with me again. I missed him! V.I., Burbank
 
Hi Orlando, thanks for everything. You're the best! R.B., Glendale

Thank you soooo much for all your patience and hard work. You've exceeded my expectations in all aspects, not only as a teacher, but as a friend. Please thank Nicole again on my behalf. She's spent so much of her time as well. V.K., Glendale
 
I just wanted to thank you for the salsa lesson. My husband and I really enjoyed your class. I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday and my husband cant wait until Thursday.  I.A., Glendale
 
Thank you. Class last night was great! My dad has learned a lot of new sequences since I saw him last, and that was really awesome to see. Thank you for the tips and the tornado sequence. So much fun! N.R., New York
 
Thank you for the vote of confidence I really have good time at my salsa lessons. Thank you and Nicole for making us feel good. I. A., Glendale
 
I enjoyed your lesson so much I didn't want to go. I would like to take more lessons once I get a chance. I can only hope to be half as good as you one day.Thank you. M.L., San Diego
