Student Testimonials
"I want to thank Klaudia for the extraordinary work with my daughter! The result is unreal. I have rarely met a teacher with such skill in teaching ballroom dancing. My daughter loves lessons with Klaudia because she is a professional in her field. I sincerely recommend her. If are in doubt whether you should do dancing, then It's definitely worth it, and even more so with Klaudia!" - Yaryna Malytska

"Klaudia Petriti is a world class dance teacher in every way. I have been dancing as an amateur for over 20 years now and have danced with some of the best teachers in New York City. But since my move to Sarasota Florida, I was fortunate to have found Klaudia and my dancing has improved immensely and my joy of dancing is even more evident since working with her. Klaudia’s expertise and talent as a teacher /partner have helped me to become aware of my own potential and dance has become one of my greatest passions. Klaudia has a way to make you feel relaxed and confident while dancing in competition. Her lessons are personalized to what works best for you the student and she listens to what is important for your dance goals. I also take her group classes and am amazed at how she can lead a group of dancers through techniques and routines. Her style of teaching gives you a workout and also helps to prepare for competitions or social dancing. My social circle has expanded thanks to Klaudia and her classes are a joy no matter the level of dance or style of dance she is teaching. But my favorite time is when I’m taking private lessons with Klaudia and preparing for a competition. I get the attention needed to help me excel in dance and reach all my goals. Every hour of dancing with Klaudia is pure joy. Thank you Klaudia for your kindness, patience, expertise and professionalism and above all your friendship." - Ray Murray
"We became part of a small dance class about two years ago. Not very talented and - at least as far as my husband was concerned - not very enthusiastic, we started this adventure with mixed feelings. Klaudia made all the difference. We couldn't imagine a better teacher. She picked us up from level 0, conveyed the joy of dancing with endless enthusiasm and made every single lesson a pleasure. Whoever has had the chance to see Klaudia dance knows that she is an exceptionally excellent dancer. But at the same time she can motivate and is infinitely patient. Her incomparable sense of humor makes the dance classes a highlight whenever we get the chance to practice. Klaudia - you are unique and make our lives richer." - Margit & Rudi
"My fiancé and I really enjoy our dance lessons with Klaudia. She made both of us comfortable since we first started our lesson (esp my fiancé who’s newto ballroom dancing). We’ve only gotten through the intro but I can already tell we’re going to have an amazing choreographed first dance. I highly recommend her for anybody who’s looking for a dance instructor for their wedding’s first dance or dancing lessons in general. On top of her awesome dancing and teaching skills, she also has a wonderful personality. She has been very accomodating considering how indecisive and fickle minded I could be. I lost count as to how many times I changed my mind about the song for our first dance. I’m also grateful for her rekindling my passion for dancing." - Jen B.

"Klaudia is amazing! We worked with her to help us with a first dance for our wedding and she honestly provided us with so much more. She had listened to our song ahead of time, messaged us with danceideas, listened to our feedback and what we wanted, and continued to adapt and change the plan with us throughout the 7 lessons we had with her. She was very responsive and flexible with setting lessonstimes. Out of all the things, her patience with us was exactly what we needed. We are both a little awkward performing in front of people and she put us at ease. She was also so patient with us when we had several breakdowns throughout the process due to my fiancé and I having different ideas of what we wanted. We like to joke she was the best pre marital counselor we could have had, LOL. Thank you Klaudia!" - Cristina D

​"I’ve learned some basic steps from my friends in the past, but I’ve since taken 3 lessons with Klaudia and I’m already in enjoying salsa a lot more. I feel like I smile and enjoy myself the whole time, but we also don’t waste any time during the lessons. I already feel like I’ve learned a lot. I couldn’t say a negative thing about her as a person or teacher. Also, Klaudia competes professionaly with her partner Ron, and it’s amazing to learn from someone like that! I had the pleasure of watching them perform a routine once and it was just inspiring. They’re insane." - Jonathan S

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Klaudia for our first dance. Both my husband and I have different schedules and I was coming from out of town. Klaudia was very accommodating with our schedules which was very limited and we greatly appreciated how flexible she was. Klaudia was very sweet and was very attentive. She made sure that we were comfortable with what we were doing and paid attention to what would and would not work for us. She made sure we had the steps down and recorded videos of us to make sure we were able to take the dance home with us to practice. With the limited time we had (just 3 sessions in 2 days), Klaudia made sure that our dance was complete and did not end abruptly. Overall, we had a great experience with Klaudia and highly recommend her!"

"My son Michael (13years old) started lessons with Klaudia 1.5 years ago, and the transformation has been incredible. She has a unique ability to connect with her students, making lessons fun while instilling a strong foundation in technique. Klaudia is patient and supportive, always encouraging Michael to push his limits while respecting his pace. Michael has not only improved his skills but has also gained confidence and developed a true love for dance.
Klaudia is an open and approachable person. Michael looks up to her and her partner Ron, and aspires to be like them, which speaks volumes about their impact." - Alina

"We met Klaudia by chance, three years ago when my daughter began exhibiting the joy of dancing at home to her favorite music. I wanted to find an instructor to guide her with the proper steps, terminology and posture, and by chance, we were lucky enough to be introduced immediately to Miss Klaudia and have never looked back!
She is the most passionate dance instructor with such a unique manner that makes learning fun.
My daughter looks forward to each and every type of lesson, showcase and competition due to Klaudia’s easy encouragement. We would follow her anywhere! I write this review honestly but also hoping she doesn’t get too busy and still has time to choreograph mom fusion classes lol" - Jen K.
