Pasofino Dance is the best place in Atlanta to learn salsa! I’ve been taking private lessons with Jose, and he’s truly one of a kind. He is so passionate about dance, and he’s also a phenomenal teacher with great, skills, energy, and humor! You don’t only learn from the best— you also have a blast doing it!

March 12, 2021 PASOFino has an inviting atmosphere that welcomes beginners. The owner and dance instructor Jose is very knowledgeable and passionate about dancing. He communicates very clearly and is very attentive to the details, which are crucial to the beginners. He makes the language of dancing and music easy to understand and follow. I highly recommend this studio to all who want to learn Latin Dance. Ilona Moore

January 21, 2021 - Jose is a great teacher- super patient, knows how to convey concepts well and easy to follow. He teaches important fundamentals when first learning which is super helpful. I have attended Monday’s intro classes (salsa and bachata) and Thursdays partner work. Both classes were helpful, fun and engaging! Highly recommend 😊
