Is that what they're saying about Rob...?
Outside of the Cubans, [Rob is] one of the best Casino dancers in the United States.

Rob is the best Casino salsa instructor in Portland. I've taken lessons with most of the salsa teachers in Portland, and while they all have their various strengths, Rob is the complete package. His expertise is in teaching, as well as in being a wonderful dancer. His teaching method is based on having the student learn consistent fundamentals of the dance style that are applicable from the most basic moves to the most advanced, and are consistent whether dancing with a partner or in a Rueda. His thorough understanding of the dance allows him to quickly diagnose any problems students are having with basic aspects of their dancing or with specific moves or techniques and then work with the student to correct/improve those elements of their dancing. Plus his classes are always a lot of fun!

[Rob is] freakishly easy to follow. At one point, we were dancing, and all of a sudden, I realized, "Oh... we're doing Tornillo."

Robert is a talented and focused individual. When he sets his mind to mastering something, he succeeds. His drive is one of his greatest qualities, as well as his impeccable attention to detail.

[Rob]... makes it easy to dance Cuban [Casino].

[I] highly recommend this class. I went to Cuba and heard many times that I'd obviously had a great instructor... to me, this is about the highest praise for a dance teacher: to have a native dancer say you're doing it well. Rob knows his stuff, and continues to learn from the masters.

I've always loved dance and have dabbled in swing, ballroom, tango, and salsa over the years, but Casino is by far my favorite!!! I started taking classes with Rob [in 2016]. One of the many things I appreciate about Rob is that he is a technician. In his classes, I'm not just memorizing a complex pattern. Rob has a knack for breaking down the fundamentals of each movement, as well as all the nuances that lead to its flawless execution.

[a dance with Rob]... is like a fine wine.
