"Thank you Marcelo...I really enjoy your workshop, and thank you for being patient with me." - Sachiko O.
"I found you to be a fantastic instructor, both in class and in private. After just a few specific pointers from you, I have an increased understanding of my own technique with all of my previous turn patterns, as well as some new and exciting ones. I'll highly recommend all aspects of dance instruction with you! - Elronn F.
"Marcelo, I want to take a moment and say that you are warm and personable and an excellent dance instructor. You can tell within seconds what I'm doing imperfectly, like a doctor diagnosing a patient. You are a very good communicator and are encouraging while at the same time pushing me to do better."
- Christine S.
"The workshop was a much needed review for me after taking a beginner's class and being MIA from tango for 2 months. I definitely benefited from your detailed instruction on leading techniques like 'lifting on the 5' and applying a bit more pressure during the cadenza. Thank you as well for your assessment and specific feedback on what I was doing." - Tai
"Marcelo, thanks for the a good tango experience. You're an excellent dance instructor who is very patient, pleasant, and systematic in making dancing easy for everyone. I will highly recommend you!"
- Rick J.
