Easily one of the best things I’ve done since moving to LA! As someone who has always loved to dance, but never really knew how, joining movers and shakers helped give me the skills to express myself dancing. Danny is incredibly experienced and makes every class fun and enjoyable. Each class is planned well to review previous moves and with enough time and repetition to learn new ones. I can’t believe the amount of skill I was able to gain in just 10 short weeks. Now I spend every week social dancing on top of weekly classes and couldn’t be more happy & thankful to have dance become a bigger part of my life!

I recently had the pleasure of taking Salsa 101 and 102B at Movers and Shakers Salsa Studio, and it was an incredible experience!

In Salsa 101, our instructor Danny was fantastic. He made learning the basic steps enjoyable and accessible for everyone in the class. His enthusiasm for salsa dancing is contagious, and he has a great way of breaking down the moves to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and confident. Danny’s supportive approach created a fun atmosphere that made me excited to dance.

When I progressed to Salsa 102B, I had the pleasure of learning from Ariella. She brought a fresh energy to the class and introduced more intricate steps and partner work with such clarity. Ariella’s teaching style is both encouraging and challenging, pushing us to embrace our creativity and add personal flair to our dancing. She was always available for tips and feedback, which really helped me refine my skills.

Overall, my experience at Movers and Shakers was outstanding, thanks to both Danny and Ariella. They both foster a warm and welcoming environment that makes learning salsa a joy. I left each class feeling energized and eager to dance more. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to elevate your skills, I highly recommend this studio and taking classes with these amazing instructors!

Learn salsa with expert guidance and pure fun! From the very first lesson, I was blown away by how detailed and thorough each class has been. Instructor Danny emphasizes the importance of building a strong foundation, which he calls "the building blocks of success," and he couldn't be more right. Thanks to his guidance, my confidence on the dance floor has improved dramatically. I drive all the way from Sherman Oaks, CA, and it's worth every mile. I highly recommend anyone looking to learn salsa or bachata to join MAS—you won’t regret it!

I’ve had a fantastic experience with the salsa and Bachata classes at Movers and Shakers Dance Academy. Inna has quickly become one of my favorite instructors for Bachata. Her humor and engaging teaching style make every class both enjoyable and effective. Danny, with his professionalism, provides clear and invaluable guidance whether he’s teaching or subbing.

The academy’s layout and teaching approach are perfectly designed for effective learning. The balance between instruction and practical dancing helps you get out of your comfort zone and grasp the moves more quickly. Plus, the opportunity to dance with different people in class accelerates your progress and boosts your confidence.

The welcoming atmosphere at Movers and Shakers makes it easy to feel comfortable and supported as you learn. If you’re in the Los Angeles area and can’t decide between salsa and Bachata, I highly recommend trying both. They are similar but distinct enough to offer unique experiences. Taking at least a 101 class in each will give you a great start and ensure you have a good time.

I have absolutely enjoyed learning from the instructors at Movers and Shakers. I was looking for a program that could help me as a beginner in salsa and I was not getting much growth from drop-in classes. When a friend told me about Movers and Shakers 10-week program, I was a bit apprehensive but took a leap of faith hoping it would be for the best, and it has not disappointed! Danny focuses on understanding the fundamentals and technique before moving on to styling. He has a created a great platform for new friendships and connections along the way. It's nice to become part of a fun community of new dancers. I highly recommend the programs for those wanting to learn how to dance and also those that appreciate new friendships.

Fun, very personalized, the objective is met and above all it changes your life!
If you are the one who gets nervous even when the ice cream music plays. Here you completely forget all that and from the first day you already want to go out dancing.
Danny and his team really care that you are really learning, the material and each of the members make you feel like family.
I don't like driving, but to go to my salsa and Bachata classes I drive 1 hours (Anaheim) and I do it with pleasure, I even enjoy the ride dancing in the car while the traffic is there.
Really, after signing up for MOVERS AND SHAKERS DANCE, your life will have a before and after, forever.

Signing up for salsa 101 with movers and shakers has been the best decision of my entire year. I signed up on a whim, expecting to learn just enough salsa so I can go out social dancing with my friend who dances salsa. Little did I know I would meet a whole community of positive, welcoming, fun people. It’s really such a great atmosphere to learn at Movers and Shakers. Many of my classmates and I have become really great friends who go out social dancing together, and it’s nice to have the same cohort and familiar faces in your classes. Salsa and bachata have become such a big part of my life in the past few months since I began this journey, and it’s reinvigorated my love for dance. Cannot say enough great things about this community 🙂
