I had a private 1-2-1 Rumba lesson with Antimo and he's like damn pro lah! An extremely nice and friendly instructor who made the lesson funny and interesting. I really learnt a lot from him. The way he explains the technique really makes you understand how to go about doing the movements.

As you can see, I'm listening attentively and really focused on getting the techniques right. Antimo's also very patient, especially with the switch turns I did because at times I wasn't sharp enough, or sometimes I was too fast, etc.




He also choreographed a short routine for us and i liked it alot! It's a world class experience! Fruitful!
