I have been taking Cuban salsa lessons from Karlos and Sara for several years on and off. If you want to learn how to dance the original Cuban salsa way, then you need to try Estilo Cubano right here in Vancouver. Karlos is a very patient teacher. His classes are fun, you don't need to have a partner, come and experience and enjoy this group setting. You will definitely learn, improve, and grow the way Karlos and Sara teach. If I can do it you certainly will too.
Learning from Karlos and Sara has brought a newfound joy to my dancing. With their passion for not only dance but people, I've learned authentic moves along with an understanding of the culture that brings each step to life. I'm truly grateful to have stumbled into their little community.
I started taking lessons since last year with Sara and Carlos and the classes have become my favourite thing to look forward to during the week. They are fantastic instructors and I highly recommend them for anyone interested in Cuban salsa dancing or taking up a new hobby!
We have been attending Karlos' Cuban Salsa classes since April 2010, and it was one of the best decisions we ever made. Karlos is immeasurably knowledgeable and extremely passionate about his craft, and he is a phenomenal teacher as well. His classes are out of this world... and he has certainly achieved the impossible when he taught the two of us how to dance!
We really enjoy Karlos' rueda class. It is a fun class, as we laugh a lot throughout the lesson while we learn. Karlos has great patience; I have been learning to lead for the past couple years and I am just starting to become competent.
Karlos and Sara of Estilo Cubano are wonderful teachers! They teach complicated Rueda moves in a way that feels effortless and fun. You’ll never get through a class without learning something new and having a good laugh. Dancing with them is the next best thing to visiting Havana!
I really enjoy taking Rueda de Casino Salsa Lessons with Karlos and Sara not only because they are my favorite salsa instructors but also they make classes so much fun. I highly recommend them, they are the best salsa instructors I ever had.
I can’t get enough of how fun it has been to attend classes with Karlos and Sara. Learning new moves in such a fun, easy going and at the same caring environment is very fulfilling! And the cherry is when Karlita shows up to class. Seeing her growing and moving like mom and dad is certainly inspiring…
Karlos and Sara are one of the most charismatic couples I’ve seen and that’s exactly what they bring to their lessons: talent and charm. I’ve learned a lot from them and enjoyed myself very much, while becoming a small part of a beautiful dance community. Enjoy!
Karlos is a masterful salsa teacher; knowledgable, talented, kind and wildly funny. He keeps a watchful eye on all dancers, makes certain not to leave any one behind and is always there to keep you moving ahead in learning the moves. Karlos’ salsa classes have added a great spark to our lives! We’ve been together for 43 years and this is one of the best things we’ve done together.
Karlos’ fun and entertaining style of teaching makes learning seem effortless. He has a wonderful energy that’s both inspiring and contagious.
We attended Karlos’ salsa classes for several years, progressing from beginning to upper intermediate levels. The classes were always fun and Karlos’ teaching style and great attitude were largely responsible for that. He is a great teacher – knowledgeable, passionate about Cuban dance, and very patient. If you want to learn how to dance salsa with a group of fun-loving people, we highly recommend his classes.
Classes with Karlos are fun, energetic and infused with Cuban sabor.
The music we dance to in Karlos’ classes is life affirming and joyous!! I cannot recommend a more fun and rewarding pursuit than learning Rueda de Casino with Karlos Reyes!!
I always thoroughly enjoyed the classes. Karlos and Sara taught in such a way that even people with two left feet could get it. Great music, fun people, and was always invited to great events
The most fun you’ll ever have whether you’re brand new to Cuban Salsa dance or are a seasoned veteran! I’ve been taking classes with Karlos and Sara for 5 years and the passion they have for sharing this dance and being able to expertly teach each move is only trumped by the utmost dedication and commitment they have for their students…. rather their ‘family of students.’ You can’t help but feel inspired, encouraged, energized and part of a true community. It gets in your blood and you feel it in your heart – their classes are addictive!
