Thank you SOOO much for working your magic on me and my girls... a fabulous time was had by all, and they are still raving about it now!

I have had the pleasure of many good dance teachers over the years and I rate Taina's instruction very highly. What makes her so good is that she is very receptive to what you want to get out of the lesson, very perceptive to how you dance and what holds you back, knows not just the dances that she teaches instinctively and fluidly, but also just knows dance in terms of the human body very very well. She makes the lesson feel friendly and funny whilst maintaining the security that you are in the authoritative hands of an expert.

Taina also can flick her role between leader/follower, beginner/experienced dancer to give you what you need.

Finally she works hard for you, maintaining an awareness of everything that has happened in the lesson, continuously recapping and bringing together what you are learning, and sending you off with a summary list of all the pointers from the lesson. Great value.

I have been dancing for nearly two years and I wanted to have a private lesson with Taina. My Husband paid for two lessons for my birthday, which was great. I didn't want to learn specific moves, I asked Taina to help me clean up my dancing. I was aware that I have been developing bad habits in my Lindy Turns and Circles and wanted to correct them. Taina was great, she tailored my classes exactly to what I wanted. She picked up even the tiniest mistakes I was making in my posture and frame and showed me how to correct them. She is also able to dance as if she is different partners with different styles so that I could make sure I match each partner’s frame and style. I really enjoyed my lessons and they definitely improved my dancing. They helped me to move to the next level.

I have had private lessons with Taina for a number of years now, each lesson a slightly different flavour covering the full spectrum from connection and moves through to specific help with performance technique. Always very effective, I can't recommend them highly enough!

If you want help with your styling, new moves and general technical support then Taina is the woman to call ! I have had many private lessons where Taina has patiently helped me to improve aspects of Lindy Hop, Balboa and Jazz routines. As a dancer with great technical skill, originality and musicality Taina is able to lead one whilst giving constructive and positive feedback on being a follower. Dancing with Taina is a joy - you get to find out why all the guys want to dance with her and live in hope that something of her talent might just rub off on one!
