I would definitely recommend Omar&Johanna=) They are very good teachers with who you can not only learn some nice figures/movements but also get a lot of information about technique part of dancing. You can be sure that you will learn how to dance, develop your dancing skills and enjoy the dance. Their lessons are always interesting and bring a good energy =)

They make the best followers and leaders in the city! Creating warm and welcoming atmosphere same time. They are good at observing what could help students in the moment and they are as well as teachers than dancers.
