"I trained with teachers in the past... Those classes helped me build a vocabulary and basic understanding, but no sense of how to make it my own.
Training with Miguel and Niecey, on the other hand, feels much more foundational. We focus on the music and our own movement first, which feels revelatory.
I feel like I'm learning the right things first."

Thank you for [teaching] without making people feel dumb. You gave me more than I could wish for.
This year I went to Amsterdam Open Air, Latin Village Festival and Mysteryland... and I danced like nobody was watching.
