I have to thank you both Frank and Gabby and the Melbourne Salsa team for the amazing fun times I have had at all the Melbourne Salsa events. The instructors have personally provided me with so much inspiration, energy and passion, week after week to feel the heartbeat and appreciate the love of salsa, dance, and its music!

The teachers at Melbourne Salsa are fantastic and always bring new and interesting steps to the classes week after week.

I've done both casual group classes and private lessons and have always found that I’ve learnt a lot and have had lots of fun in the process. Thank you Melbourne Salsa

I started dancing to have fun and meet new people - and that's exactly what happened. Since then, I’ve come back each week, performed a few times, and haven't stopped smiling.

The people from that first class are now some of my best friends, and we're still laughing!

My partner and I have been doing private lessons with Frankie for about a year, and it's been INCREDIBLE! We have learnt so much more than we could have ever in group classes and it feels like such an intimate experience.

Frankie has such a warm and friendly personality that immediately puts you at ease, making the learning experience all the more enjoyable. He tailors the class to our mood and energy of the day, and goes with the flow of how we are feeling that day.

We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn salsa or improve their skills. His private classes are a great way to receive one-on-one attention and really accelerate your learning. Thank you, Frankie, for such a wonderful experience!
