As a first time Bachata learner, I was a bit intimidated but Marcelo had a grace about him that really made the entire process so enjoyable and fun! He's clear with his direction, patient with his tone, and emits an energy that truly shows his passion for dance.

Marcelo's bootcamp is a great way to stretch your dancing skills. Not only does he break down skills clearly when he teaches, he is one of the warmest people to be around.
Jenny E
Marcelo's bootcamp stands out as one of the best Bachata learning opportunities in the area. The instructors were super helpful, fun, energetic and entertaining. The end of the day felt like a big family party of dancing, socializing and food.

My biggest hurdle was financially, but this was such a great opportunity and totally worth it. What I enjoyed most was the safe and fun environment, everyone was so nice and welcoming! The event really set the bar high for my first Bachata workshop. Thank you 🙂
Kiana M
I’ve attended every intermediate Bootcamp and have never been disappointed. Getting to immediately practice what you learned while its fresh and see it actually work is a real confidence boost. Can’t wait for next month!
Aaron A
I came to Marcelo's first Bootcamp literally knowing NOTHING; with his step by step guidance and the one-on-one help from the other instructors, I was able to ramp up super quickly.
Johanna M
I was nervous about coming but immediately put at ease during the 5 minute grounding and setting of intention.
Alan G
At first, 6 hours seemed like a lot but it flew by and I wish I could've danced longer! Marcelo is an amazing teacher who adapts himself to all levels of skill, no one is left behind. I made new friends and really felt a part of the dance community. I can't wait for the next one!

The bootcamp is a well-organized, professional event that will challenge you to take your dancing to the next level. Marcelo is a talented instructor who cares about each student and genuinely connects with them. I can't say enough about how excellent the experience was.
