Not a fan of the packages or website. Bought the 10 class thinking I could use it for me and my husband maybe worst case get 5 classes for the both but no. You packages per person no refunds buyer beware! So I recommend if you want to take class with someone multiply by 2 whatever you buy website will not tell you that. Good for single people. Not for couples or family cheaper studios for families and groups around! I’m going to take the loss time limits on the packages as well but website is good about telling you about that. I took one boot camp on Groupon and learned a lot. Great studio to

I went down because they had a beginner boot camp scheduled on their website when I got there. There was a class but no camp. Also the attendant was the not very helpful and basically just brushed me off. They really need to update their website, so they don't waste people time. I also attempted to call 3 times and no one answered, leading to me wasting my time driving down there.

Jose is one of the finest instructors I've ever seen. He explains the music and breaks down the body mechanics. He's the real deal.

Instructors are pros, but they still take time to explain and break up the steps! Easy and fun!

PASOFino has an inviting atmosphere that welcomes beginners. The owner and dance instructor Jose is very knowledgeable and passionate about dancing. He communicates very clearly and is very attentive to the details, which are crucial to the beginners. He makes the language of dancing and music easy to understand and follow. I highly recommend this studio to all who want to learn Latin Dance.

Jose is a great teacher- super patient, knows how to convey concepts well and easy to follow. He teaches important fundamentals when first learning which is super helpful. I have attended Monday’s intro classes (salsa and bachata) and Thursdays partner work. Both classes were helpful, fun and engaging! Highly recommend 😊
