| What are you waiting for? Que esperas para aprender a bailar? Learning to dance with Milly is easy as 1-2-3 |
| Milly "La Salsera Sensual" 100% BORICUA parents and grandparents. Born in Chicago, raised in Puerto Rico enriched with the Puerto Rican Culture. |
| Salsa: Once the exclusive past-time of Latinos, Salsa has taking the non-Latino making it one of the most popular dances of all time. It has an 8-count basic step which, in its elementary form, moves backward and forward, slowing it down on counts 4 and 8. |
| Dance Instructor: Milly "La Salsera Sensual" |
| Mambo: Pretty much the same as Salsa, save for minor stylistic differences and the movements, occur on counts 1 and 5 of the 8-count basic. |
| Rhumba: An alternative to dancing Bachata to slower, ballad-like Latin the 8-count basic step which, in its shape of a box. Rumba is primarily taught in ballroom dance studios today, but it is a really good social dance to learn. It is very versatile, and can be danced to a variety of musical styles. Step of out of the box, you can also integrate all of your Salsa dance combinations. |
| "Soy 100% Boricua como el Coqui!" I Love My Puerto Rico! |
| Cha cha: An 8-count basic step consisting of 2/two slow steps and 2/triple steps Salsa/Mambo and Swing steps can be incorporated to your Cha cha combinations. It can be used for Latin music (which more of is being played in Latino clubs today), as well as for other popular forms of music. |
| Bachata: A semi-recent import from the Dominican Republic, Bachata is danced to the slower, ballad-like Latin songs. Like Salsa, Bachata has an 8-count basic, but instead of moving back and forth like Salsa, Bachata moves from side to side. Additionally, partners tend to dance much closer to one another in Bachata. |

| Merengue:,Perhaps the easiest dance of all in the sense that the basic step can be step 1 time to each beat of the music, one step after the next. If Salsa is one of the most popular dances of all time, Merengue is definitely running a close second. |
| Samba can be linked to a hybrid between Salsa and Waltz, as it has rhythmic "pulsating" action feel whilst simultaneously traveling around the floor. It isn't danced as much as it should be, but a good Salsa dancer would do well to learn it, as it will improve his or her overall dancing. |

We offer dance lessons, both group and private, in a variety of dances, as well as fitness
and Sexy Styling. The lessons are taught by Milly "La Salsera Sensual" depending upon
your circumstances and needs, they are designed to maximize your learning experience.
Dancing and music go hand in hand, and together they benefit us in numerous ways. After
all the years I have spent dancing, choreographing, performing, teaching and with my
college education in Childhood, Adolescent, Social and Abnormal Psychologies,
everything combined have taught me a great deal of knowledge to become a better
dance instructor.
One of my theories is that everyone should learn to dance as early as six months old.
Moms and dads don't take for granted the earlier months, sing lullabies to your infant.
Some of the benefits of Dancing, Music and Singing:
