Why beginners choose Latin Roots
I joined Latin Roots 5 months ago and I’ve never looked back! Eleanna (our little mermaid) and Wellington are amazing and really make everyone feel welcomed. They’ve really built a great community and I’m so happy to be part of it. It’s the best place to learn Salsa and Bachata. The classes are super fun and I’ve learnt so much since starting my Latin journey. The socials are incredibly fun and you meet a lot of amazing people. I look forward to it every week. Thank you Wellington and Eleanna! 😊

I've been taking classes for about a year. Despite the fatigue, after a long day of work, I always leave the classes full of positive energy. The instructors are fantastic and very professional. And they have the patience of an angels. Thank you Eleanna and Wellington. 💚💚💚

I've recently started Salsa and Bachata classes with Wellington and Eleanna and I've been so impressed with how great their teaching style is. They are very calm and patient and focus on real dancing basics which will help anyone get more confident and have more fun on the dance floor. The community around the classes seems very friendly and inclusive which is a huge plus! Can't recommend them enough!
Nikos Tamias
Órale! How good the salsa and bachata classes. Both the lessons and the people. If you've never danced, if you have and maybe you feel a bit rusty, the beginners course is perfect as a starting point to kickstart the dance journey. Thank you Wellington and Elenana 🕺🏼❤️
Marco Barton
I only had few lessons with Eleanna and Wellington, but they were enough to show their skills and passion they put in teaching you how to dance. I will definitely attend more lessons. And the parties are great too!
Daniele Landi
Eleanna is a wonderful teacher, coach and bright personality each week. The other half of the teaching duo, Wellington, is amazing with his patience. His eye for details and help with all the subtle layers of leading is one of best around. As a teaching couple they can help leaders and followers alike. Classes are always full of laughter. Highly recommended them.
