About Piotrek & Krystal
Piotrek & Krystal have been teaching together virtual and live classes year round for 5 years. They came together with a distinct desire for the dance to be a modality for self exploration, growth and healing. Piotrek and Krystal's students have raved for years about their unique and effective style of teaching. They combine the development of proper technique with the spirit of the dance. This way of teaching engages all parts of the body: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, which leads to dancing that is extremely rich.
"We love teaching level 1 classes as it is an opportunity for us to observe the curiosity and wonder of new students. The movement unfolds from simple walking patterns into dance right before our eyes! We continue to be fascinated by the dance and inspired by our students."

When will I be ready to go out social dancing?
Social dancing can be a really fantastic experience, but you must be open to the idea that when you dance, there will be many different levels of dancers. Dance isn't about how you rank compared to anyone else, its about how you feel within you! The only difference between you and an advanced dancer is more repetition. Salsa Secrets holds social dances the first Saturday of each month in Portsmouth, NH. All levels are welcomed!
What if I have questions or seek further instruction?
You can always email us if you have a question. Online private lessons are available at a rate of $125/hour and may be scheduled by emailing dance@salsasecrets-portsmouth.com.
