Hear from Our Students
Emma and Pieter are just the nicest people and outstanding teachers of Latin dancing. Thanks for always making the experiences with you guys so positive.
Thank you ‘The Dance Pad’ for sharing with me quality dance tuition in a welcoming and friendly environment. I have been dancing at your school for approximately 2 years now after 15 years of dancing at with many other schools in Adelaide.
In particular I have instantly fallen in love with the incredible content and diversity of the Cuban Salsa and Advanced Timba classes that are run by Piter. Piter raises the bar high and pushes everyone to learn and articulate their body movements.
Despite having taken Salsa classes for well over a decade including studying the genre in Cuba for six months, I still feel like I am a beginner with so much more to learn and develop from Piter, this is a testament to the quality of content that Piter offers – top class.
He takes the time to provide helpful pointers and provides great transparency with all the intricate moves he teaches – no move is sacred which is very refreshing, knowledge sharing is his number 1 priority to ensure his students grow and learn.
Fancy foot work and syncopated salsa timing is what keeps his classes fun, fresh and energetic.
I have attended so many dance schools in Adelaide and when I finally stumbled across The Dance Pad I instantly felt at home! Emma is such a warm and welcoming studio owner and teacher, and the culture she has built is so friendly, positive and inclusive with a real emphasis on women’s empowerment and building self confidence. Emma has a wealth of technical knowledge and professional experience across a huge range of styles, so her classes have a strong focus on underpinning dance technique, and are great for those dreaming of building up their dance and giving performance a go. I take a few classes per week on a membership, and they’re always fun and the right amount of challenging. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone, whether you just want to dance for fun and fitness or you’re a dance addict chasing continual improvement.
