Incredible Salsa Instructor - Jonah is the Best!
I recently took salsa lessons with Jonah and couldn’t be more impressed! His passion for salsa dancing and teaching was evident from the very first class. Jonah can break down complex moves into simple, easy-to-follow steps, making learning fun and accessible for everyone, regardless of skill level. He’s patient and encouraging, and his enthusiasm is contagious.

Not only does he teach the techniques, but he also emphasizes the importance of connecting with the music and your partner, which makes every class feel vibrant and full of energy. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, Jonah is the perfect instructor. I’ve gained so much confidence and joy from his classes. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn salsa!

We love Chicago Dance and our instructors! Jonah is an amazing teacher who breaks things down into easy to understand pieces. He is our favorite instructor as a couple! Yvonne & Sergio make things fun and run wonderful intensive classes that showcase partner dance fundamentals. Daniel was our first teacher, and he helped us establish our foundation as social dancers. Jeff teaches swing, and in his beginner class you will be able to demonstrate a full set of new moves! You can’t go wrong with this studio ? The pricing is fair and the instructors are awesome!!

My husband and I took beginning bachata with Jonathan. Our instructor was very welcoming, inclusive, and seemed to genuinely enjoy teaching. I appreciated that he was very detail oriented, teaching the basic steps in addition to styling details that I haven’t seen in other beginning level classes. I appreciated that because I think it’s important to learn these techniques correctly from the very start. I also appreciated that the dance studio is a professional looking space in terms of cleanliness, quality of the dancefloors, good lighting, and mirrors.

My wife and I took the beginner’s bachata class taught by Jonathan which consisted of 4 sessions. I gotta say it was a great learning experience. You’re in great hands with Jonathan as he goes from the very basic steps all the way to choreographed routine. Great teacher Jonathan is! I will have to come back and take another class! Cheers!

We did dance lessons with Nikki to prepare for the first dance at our wedding. It was a blast - highly recommend! We started with ZERO experience and learned so much from Nikki, who made us feel super comfortable along the way (even as we changed our song multiple times)! Thank you!!

Having such a great experience here taking dance lessons before my wedding. Really wonderful instructor and the owner is kind and encouraging. Definitely plan on coming back?

We booked a private group K-Pop dance lesson for my friend's bachelorette weekend. It was really easy to schedule via email and the instructor Brandon knocked it out of the park! He created a very fun environment and broke down the steps into small enough movements for us to learn (we are not trained dancers). Everyone raved about Brandon the rest of the day. Highly recommend!

Jonah is amazing, we have had so much fun learning salsa with him! He’s a great teacher who really makes salsa very approachable, especially for someone with zero dance or salsa experience! 10/10 would recommend his classes!
