Great dance instructor, entertaining and comical. Always a joy to attend his classes. Added value is that Jeff provides videos of lessons to download after the class.

Jeff is an excellent teacher! His classes are fun and he explains the dance moves in a way that is easy to understand. :) Would strongly recommend!

I took beginner Salsa and Bachata lessons with Jeff. After only a few weeks I was confident and comfortable to attend social dances. Jeff breaks down the steps, provides practice, repeats the material every class and all of it with an excellent sense for humor. I trully enjoyed it and I will continue with classes!

Jeff can teach anyone-and I mean anyone- to dance! Through his patience, humour and effective way of breaking down dance moves, he turned a pair of middle aged engineers who had never danced before in their lives into salsa dancers...Jeff doesn’t just teach people to dance- he shares his passion for Latin music, creating a warm, safe environment where people of all ages can go and have fun. What he does changes lives! If you’ve been interested but afraid to try Latin dance, just do it! Jeff and OLS will help you..

Coming into the world of salsa and bachata with zero dance background, I have learned so much from Jeff's positive and encouraging teaching approach! Jeff has a knack for indentifying specific areas for you to practice on, while also creating a fun, laid-back space, that makes you excited to keep learning, regardless of your skill level. While I have mainly been a student in larger group classes with Jeff, I have also taken some of his smaller private classes. Dancing does not come naturally to me (it probably took me 2-3 months to learn a right turn!) but Jeff's encouraging approach has helped me build confidence with the basics and more. Highly recommend classes with Jeff!

Jeff is easy going and passionate about teaching. He explains the moves in ways that anyone can understand. It's a great place to start learning dancing!
