About Piotrek & Krystal

Online Salsa Academy

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."

Love Notes

  • I've been dancing a lot in my life, but without any formal instruction. I usually went to latin clubs and could get by dancing, but at some point I realized that there was something different between myself and the ‘fancy dancers’. They seemed to have an understanding and flow that was far beyond my knowledge base. I travel a lot for work, so I drop in to take classes with Salsa Secrets in Portsmouth occasionally, but it wasn’t enough. In comes the online program, I jumped at the opportunity to have Piotrek and Krystal in my pocket teaching me wherever I was and on my schedule. I’ve completed the whole first level and find myself having so much more fun being in the dance when I go out. I’ve even found that I love learning the leader’s responsibilities (I never thought I’d say that)! The only program has really been a treat and I can’t wait for Level 2.

    -Joanne Boucher

  • We’ve danced with Krystal and Piotr in person for several years, but our recent status has changed and we can’t attend local classes. We were so excited that they released Level 2 online as we began Level 2 in the fall, but weren't able to attend the whole series. Needless to say, we fell behind. Starting the Level 2 Complete program online has really helped us to both build our confidence and find a true understanding of the movements. We dance together a few times a week and really enjoy brining these lessons into that sacred time.

    -Julia Anderson

  • I wanted to surprise my wife for her birthday. I searched online and found Salsa Secrets Online Academy. I had no desire to dance in front of others, so this was a perfect way for me to give my wife a great gift without compromising myself. We are pleased with the quality of the instruction and I can keep up with the pace of learning. We are having fun dancing in our own home.

    - Charlie King

  • I never thought I would be dancing salsa! My wife always wanted to try to dance together, we went to a few classes here and there, but I always struggled with my responsibilities and became immediately frustrated with myself. My wife seemed to really like the classes and I felt bad that I didn’t ever really want to go back. When I heard about Salsa Secret’s Online Program, I was a little skeptical at first, since I’d had such poor experiences in the past, however, I was pleasantly surprised. The quality of instruction by Piotrek and Krystal is great. I love going back through the videos over and over again to remind myself of the details of the movements. My wife and I have even gone out dancing to a social dance and for the first time, I felt confident in my abilities and we had a great time.

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!
