Academic Excellence Meets International Artistry
The Visionaries: Rodrigo & Wendy
Rodrigo and Wendy Jimenez are renowned international instructors and performers who bring a sophisticated academic approach to the dance floor. Both hold a Bachelor of Arts in Dance from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) and serve as adjunct faculty for the university's Dance Department. As teaching artists for the NC Blumenthal Performing Arts Center and the NC Dance Theatre, they bridge the gap between technical mastery and inclusive, community-focused instruction.
Award-Winning Technique and Performance
A Global Competitive Edge
Our founders have graced stages from Tokyo to Madrid, performing and teaching in countries like Spain, Thailand, Vietnam, and Chile. With accolades including a 1st place at the Liberty Dance Championship and 2nd place at the World Salsa Summit, Rodrigo and Wendy bring world-class standards to every class. They have shared the stage with icons like Willie Colon and Gilberto SantaRosa, and they specialize in unique fusions such as 'SALSATANGO' and 'BACHATANGO' that expand your dance repertoire.
Celebrating Rhythms for All Generations

We believe Latin dance is a universal language that belongs to everyone. Our studio is designed to be catchy and accessible for all ages, from youth Quinceañera choreography to adult social dance cycles. Our 8-week Progressive Cycles follow a specific syllabus to help you dive deep into technique from scratch, ensuring that every student feels confident and empowered.
