"I learned so much during these four weeks! Ana’s classes are fun, challenging, and easy to follow thanks to her clear explanations. I love that her lessons work for dancers of all levels. Highly recommend!"

"I took my first class with Ana about eight years ago in NY and instantly fell in love with her teaching style and her ability to transmit her passion for dance and music. Even now, I take her classes online and always leave feeling happy, inspired, and with new skills for my dance style. After three months of consistent training, I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my salsa dancing. Ana is truly one of the best!"

"Ana’s workshop was amazing! She’s kind, fun, and has a unique style that blends mambo and salsa caleña—something rare and exciting. She knows exactly how to teach her style while helping each dancer adapt it to their own body. I also love that she teaches both in-person and online, in English and Spanish. Highly recommended!"

"I really enjoyed Ana’s latest course. She’s a clear and passionate teacher with a huge amount of experience. Even joining online from the UK, I felt like I had access to top-quality instruction. The classes are well-organized and balanced between in-person and online students, with lots of personalized feedback. Excellent value for money!"

"Mantenerme entrenando y aprendiendo con Ana ha sido un verdadero regalo. Su claridad al explicar, la sencillez con la que transmite conceptos y su enfoque en las bases y la cadencia son exactamente lo que buscaba. Crea un ambiente de confianza para preguntar, reflexionar y hasta ‘nerdear’ sobre técnica y estilo. Aunque enseña su estilo con maestría, siempre deja espacio para que descubras el tuyo propio: tu sabor, tu saoco. Después de seguirla por mucho tiempo, aprender de ella ha enriquecido mi baile y me ha dado más recursos para enseñar."

"Me han encantado las clases de Ana, tanto las de estilo como las de nivel libre. Yo venía de 0 en caleña y sus clases me han ayudado muchísimo a mejorar mi baile. Es una profesora muy atenta, corrige, aconseja y está pendiente de cada alumna, ya sea online o presencial. Sus rutinas de calentamiento son un reto y están muy bien estructuradas para repasar y mejorar. Sin duda seguiré apuntándome a todo lo que saque."

"I met Ana Saoco back in 2021 when I was living in Miami and searching for salsa caleña classes. I couldn’t find anything that truly inspired me—until I came across a video of Ana dancing at the beach. Her style, grace, and energy were electric, and I knew immediately, ‘This is the salsa instructor I want to learn from.’ From that moment, I began following her on social media, watching her growth and dedication to her craft. It has been incredible to finally take her online classes from the comfort of my home and reconnect with my salsa caleña roots, even as a non-professional dancer who simply loves salsa. What makes Ana even more special is how she blends her unique dance style with her physical therapy expertise, teaching us how to move properly and demonstrating exercises to keep us strong and healthy. Thanks, Ana!"
