What People Are Saying
"From our first lesson, Charles put me in touch with my natural human ability to connect with music and express it. He is an absolute Salsa guru and an expert in Bachata, Merengue, Kizomba, and so many more dances. He breaks down movements into patterns that are easy to remember and his tips and analogies are now ingrained in me. Social dancing is no longer terrifying but is fun and relaxing - which, as Charles says, dancing should be!"

“I just discovered this fantastic new dance studio in Courtice. Charles Maina has completely changed how I dance in just a couple of lessons. I’m no longer thinking about routines and just focusing on my connection to the music. From Hip Hop to Kizomba, African Dance, Bachata and Salsa for all levels. This is a great place if you are looking to learn to dance, build your core and posture, become more flexible or just looking for a fantastic workout!”

I have danced at a few studios with different instructors and I have not had as much fun, or learned as much, as I am with Charles. His organic style of teaching makes me feel comfortable and helps me find my own style and work with it. I highly recommend his classes for both new and seasoned dancers.

For a long time, I had the feeling the something was missing from my dancing. I kept taking class after class, learning figure after figure, and going to social after social, but nothing was changing. No matter how hard I tried, I still wasn’t dancing the way I wanted to. I was moving, but I had no style, no confidence, and no sabor. Thankfully, I found Charles and everything changed! His unique, multi-disciplinary approach has really worked for me and reignited my love for dance. The more I work with Charles, the more I see myself improving and the more I’m becoming the dancer I’ve always wanted to be. Charles is a talented artist and exceptional teacher and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Invest in yourself and your art by working with Charles – you won’t be disappointed!
