TESTIMONIALS

R. Nicole, CT

I started taking dance lessons with Christien & Acacia Latin Dance Company as soon as they opened!  I’ve always wanted to dance & hadn’t found a place to learn, when i saw his posts on social media I decided to give it a try!! I was so nervous & so new… Christien & everyone in each class are the reason I kept coming back.  Chris breaks it down step by step & helps each person to understand the why of each step.  
 
He is patient, kind & motivating & an excellent instructor.  Everyone I’ve met in his classes are so encouraging & so patient, no one will let me quit when it’s difficult.  All levels are encouraged and welcomed, classes for different levels & private lessons are available, I’ve done them all & I can’t say enough about Chris & his crew!!  Come check it out you won’t regret it.
