Is that what they're saying about Rob...?
Joel S., Portland, Oregon
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 thorough, clear in his instruction, makes it really fun, and is a pleasure to dance with. I highly recommend taking any of his classes, as it might be just what you need to become even a better dancer than you already are!

[I] have danced with Rob for more than 5 years. His attention to detail helps us learn something every single class.

[Rob]... makes it easy to dance Cuban [Casino].
Excellent teacher who clearly enjoys what he does: teaching and dancing. A plus in his classes is that he plays the best music, varied and up-to-date!

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.
