Cinnamon was an incredible teacher. He thought of everything from the movement of my dress to the timeline of when the dance should be. He made it fun and comfortable. My husband even enjoyed the lessons. We are so grateful for his help. 10/10 recommend!!

I cannot express enough how grateful we are for the incredible dance lessons we received from Cinnamon. With just five lessons, he transformed our wedding dance into a breathtaking performance that truly made our special day unforgettable.

From the very first lesson, Cinnamon was not only professional but also incredibly supportive and encouraging. He took the time to understand our vision and tailored the choreography to suit our style perfectly. The routines were not only beautiful but also easy to learn, making each session enjoyable and fun.

His expertise in choreography was evident, and we were amazed at how he could create such a stunning routine in such a short amount of time. Cinnamon's passion for dance is contagious, and his enthusiasm kept us motivated throughout the process.

On our wedding day, we felt confident and excited to showcase what we had learned. The dance was a highlight of the evening, leaving our guests in awe and creating memories that we will cherish forever.

We highly recommend Cinnamon to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated dance instructor. Thank you for making our wedding dance so magical!

My daughter had dance lessons for a Quniceanera. She and a group of girls had an awesome time learning several dances. Cinnamon kept the girls focused by having fun. The girls and all the moms loved coming every week. The performance at the Quince was amazing. The moms and girls will definitely sign up for lessons again. This experience created confidence and friendship bonds for the girls and moms.

I started out as a beginner, taking salsa and bachata lessons with Cinnamon. He is patient, easy to follow and expertly explains the details so that I could be successful at learning to dance. I have had a wonderful experience learning from him. He can help you learn/improve any style of dance.

I’ve been attending Cinnamon’s on and off for the last 8 years and he is, hands down, the best teacher I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. I travel for work and have taken classes in just about every city I have been to. No one compares or even comes close to Cinnamon. Cinnamon has this amazing ability to relate and explain things in a multitude of ways, for every type of student.

Cinnamon is warm, lighthearted, and kind to all his students. He genuinely cares and is always happy to share his love for dance. As an engineer, I could not learn by being told “take this step”. I needed to understand the why’s and how’s, and Cinnamon was able to provide that; he truly believes that anyone can dance, and I have seen it firsthand. People who say they have two left feet have finished a group class looking amazed at themselves.

I would recommend Cinnamon to all people, at every skill level. I guarantee that you will have fun and learn something new. I hope you can share in this amazing experience to learn from Cinnamon, because it has been a great pleasure to have Cinnamon not just as a teacher, but as a coach and a friend. And I look forward to learning from him for many years to come.

We view dancing in public with the dread that most people view speaking in public. Still, we wanted to have a first dance at our wedding. We called Cinnamon and he suggested we come in for an introductory lesson. We were nervous about it but we did it anyway. By the end of the hour we were enjoying ourselves so much that we signed up for ten lessons. We chose a song and by the second lesson Cinnamon had choreographed the entire dance for us. He broke it into chunks and spent the next weeks expertly, patiently --and with healthy doses of good humor-- helping us master them. He made it fun and easy --who knew we could dance? Those lessons became one of the highlights of the wedding process for us. Cinnamon was an honored guest at our wedding.

We were in a timecrunch for our wedding and he choreographed a lovely first dance for us. It was a really fun time learning to dance, he was an excellent instructor. I would most definitely recommend.

We hired Cinnamon to teach the kids the different dances for my daughters Quinceañera. To say the results were amazing is not enough. He has patience with the kids. He got them to come together and be confident in what they were doing. On the day of the event he was running around talking to the dj, announcer, and the banquet staff. He made sure the kids were taken care of and where they needed to be at all times. Cinnamon was worth every single penny. I highly recommend him!!!
