Latinissimo Dance

Latinissimo teaching and structure are top notch. Anyone can join, definitely recommend you to if you want to learn latin dance and start with great foundations.First took bachata and salsa classes with them in 2019 and keep coming back every year.You really learn a lot from it, especially little fundamentals, and that's not even including the move combinations!

It’s time to leave a review and not to keep this dance school as “the best kept secret”. I have been with Latinissimo for almost a year learning Salsa and Bachata. I have also done one day workshops and intensive summer courses. There are many great dancers out there, just not every dancer is a great teacher. Teaching requires a different skill. Gian is both a great dancer and an incredible teacher. He’s got the ability to dissect the move into tiny small micro moves so it makes sense and not so scary and unattainable. Alina is a friendly, energetic and great dancer, adding her sparkly touch as an instructor. The school offers a comprehensive curriculum of courses and levels. If you’d like to learn Salsa, Bachata, have fun and make new friends, this is the place!

I had a great time in a recent Salsa Level 1 class. The instructor was excellent with a great teaching style and expertise in salsa dancing. The class is well-organized and we have theory and practice time. Good music and fun athmosphere. I'm definetely going for more!

Systematic and thorough teaching of skills needed in a professional and relaxed atmosphere. Easy to navigate website with enrolment links. Useful course revision videos to practice at home. Supporting courses available, such as body movement, styling and shines choreography. Thank you Gian and Alina, your dancing inspire us all!

Gian knows how to dance, especially Sensual Bachata as well as how to teach dancing. This is quite a rare gift to have; as many Bachata dance teachers can be good dancers but totally bad teachers. I enjoyed his classes, and looking forward to another intensive sensual bachata. I highly recommend joining his classes.

Gian is fantastic, the classes are great and very open and welcoming for complete beginners like myself who go in clueless with no rhythm, and come out significantly better after each class. Learning the history of Salsa & the songs & dance moves along the way was a really fascinating class also.

Giancarlo is a fantastic dance instructor, he brings so much passion and energy to all his classes. I have done Batchata lessons and have absolutely loved it, will definitely be continuing. The classes are fun and are full of great people x

The best dance studio in Auckland! Small classes, very knowledgeable teachers who do they their very best to help you progress, and well rounded classes including learning musicality. I simply loved my experience. I 100% recommend to anyone who wishes to learn or progress in salsa or bachata.

It has been an absolute joy taking salsa classes at Latinissimo! Gian and Alina are excellent instructors; they’re helpful, attentive and precise, which means you’re set to pick up the proper technique in a very accessible way.As a non-dancer, joining Level 1 Salsa was perfect because they take you through it from the very basics. It is such a beginner-friendly environment, I didn’t feel out of place at all.You can see such a major improvement in yourself within just a couple of classes, and the reference videos really help you when practicing at home. Gian also organizes a great social dance fortnightly - the perfect complement to the weekly classes.I’ve already signed up for my next courses as I just can’t get enough! Keep up the awesome work, Gian and Alina :)
