Background: Originally from Venezuela, Alex has been teaching people to dance in Toronto since 1997.  He has various dancing and teaching certifications and continually refines and upgrades his skill.  He began dancing when he was very young and preformed in shows while still living in Venezuela.  When he moved to Canada he hadn't expected to find dancing to be as popular as it is.  He had hoped but hadn't expected to be able to continue his dancing career.  Dancing is Alex's passion; and this passion is contagious. Just ask his students.

Students: His students range from beginners with no dancing experience at all to experienced dancers from this or other disciplines. Ages range from young adults to seniors.  Both couples and individuals are welcome.  Alex's passion and talent makes learning to dance a positive experience leaving you anxious for your next lesson. He says learning to dance requires hard work and practise but it must also be fun and he is successful in helping you achieving this balance.
