Raves & Reviews
You are by far the most instructional teacher I’ve come across in the past year. The manner in which you explain the particulars of the steps helped me immensely. “Now I get it” is what I consistently told myself last evening. Again, awesome class!
~ Phyllis
You are such a great instructor. I hope those folks know how lucky they are to have someone with your talents and skills instructing them!
~ Jim Conran
Your teaching style is superior to the other teacher’s I have studied with because it is more thorough, progressive and FUN. The pace is just right and you break everything down so that I learn the moves completely.
~ Karen, Lafayette
I’ve taken salsa lessons in the past with a variety of instructors, but you have by far been the best. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
~ Doug Hee
Our Private Lessons were tremendously helpful. Thanks for the outstanding quality of instruction that you provide.

You’re an awesome, awesome instructor. It’s definitely in your blood and I’m really happy to have run into you. My friends KNOW how much fun I have!
~ Victoria Beltran
I wanted to express how much it has meant to me being your dance partner for these past 4 years. We have built such a strong and dedicated dance community, and I feel truly privileged to have been a part of it. It has been an amazing journey for me, and I have grown so much as a dancer, a teacher, and a person. I thank you for supporting me, believing in me, pushing me, and being there to coach and mentor me all along the way. I love the work we have done together. I will always cherish your friendship and our Salsa “dance family”.
A million thanks, Tomaj.
Love, Shahla
Tomaj is a master teacher. He is the most patient and thorough dance teacher either of us have ever had. He has a lively style that make his classes very mentally and physically invigorating. We’re impressed with his ability to teach to different levels at the same time: he is very patient with beginning steps, yet incorporates advanced techniques that keep all levels of students interested. We are simply thrilled to be in his class.
~ Patricia and Edward Dill
