✯✯✯✯✯
"Not only an excellent dance school, but also a group of friends where new students are welcomed and encouraged to grow. The right amount of demanding, good humor, and mutual support fostered by instructor Marcos Figueirinha make this school the ideal place for both those who already dance and those who want to learn. I recommend it 100%.

"I contacted Marcos for a surprise class at a bachelorette party, and everything went beautifully, right up until the moment we made the bride believe we were going to run the marathon. We had a bachata class with Dedy, who besides being a sweet girl, is a great dancer, and had immense patience with us. Besides being a lot of fun, it was a good time for everyone. At the end, we were even treated to a bachata from the couple, which left us speechless! They were incredible with us! Thank you so much for everything. I highly recommend them."

"I love learning with Marcos and his companion, an excellent teacher (he has the patience to deal with lead-footed apprentices like me 😂😂) and a great communicator. Prices are accessible to all budgets - so only those who don't want to learn will not learn!! I highly recommend it!!"

"We must recommend this dance school to anyone who is thinking of learning these dances in the Algarve. We booked private lessons with Marcos, not knowing what to expect, as both of us being in our 60's & don't speak much Portuguese. He recommended that we started with the Bachata & we really looked forward to our lessons every Tuesday. It has given us a new hobby & helped us to keep fit, in mind & body. We have been lucky enough to go along to watch the group sessions & were made very welcome by the class. Marcos is a very patient tutor with a great sesnse of humour - he needed it with us! We will miss not seeing him each week as we are returning to the UK but look froward to more lessons when we return. Also a special thanks to Dedy who has also made us feel very welcome. We feel through dancing we are making a new circle of friends in Portugal. Our advice is - give it a go."

"We contacted Marcos and Deddy because we were getting married and wanted to try dancing (since we have two left feet) and the truth is that they not only did the choreography and taught her how to dance, but they also gave us the confidence to shine on the day! They are super patient, professional and respected our requests. 5 people ⭐️ We highly recommend them!"
