Marcelo is an excellent dance teacher. He emphasizes correct fundamentals & makes sure the students are performing them correctly. I am in complete agreement, as I know that one can not begin to execute beautiful moves, steps & patterns without knowing the basics. He is patient, generous with his students. Seeing him perform and compete is a special treat, as it is obvious to see the accuracy & grace in motion!

Marcelo is a great salsa teacher - he really wants you to be good and really wants you to have the basics down for a firm foundation. He also knows a lot of patterns and moves, and also will tell you how to do it perfectly, so that you will look nice.

I can't appreciate enough for his thorough attention to details from head to toe - this guy really wants you to perfect it, and he is very patient with you.

Last week I try Marcelo's first lesson... I was hooked! I sign up for the 50 lesson package! Today I had my second lesson. He is so patient and trustworthy. Also, he is very knowledgeable in how to break my bad habits and how to make my feet follow my brain lol!!

Hi, I'm Marcelo Rivero

Award winning teacher & coach

I specialize in teaching Salsa, Bachata & Argentine Tango for social dancing and competitive or exhibition performances. I was voted 2012 favorite male dance instructor of the year and won several local pro/am competitions.

I'm known not only for my smooth and elegant dancing, but also for being a very patient teacher and ability to tell a story with my choreography. I can break down any move or technique that is currently troubling you or to prevent it in the first place in a way anyone can understand. As well as get rid of bad habits that's holding you back from getting better.

I look forward to see you in class!
